i know it seems early….

….but the time starts flying by once we reach the end of summer.  I learned from last year – it starts to get REALLY busy by the end of August.  So, I’m trying to plan ahead a little bit and get some things ready.  So, here is a sampling of the BEAUTIFUL collection of holiday card templates that I have for 2008.  These are so great because EVERYTHING is customizeable – including the colors in the textures (as you can see from the first and second one).  I will have more styles available as we move closer to the holidays.

If you are thinking of scheduling a session for the fall please contact me as soon as possible with your requested time frame.  I will start confirming dates in late August and weekends will fill up very quickly.  The deadline to do a session for holiday cards and/or prints will be November 15th this year.

I will be out of the office (and out of town) until next week on a girlie weekend – woo-hoo!   My husband has 4 WHOLE days alone with our daughter – the longest yet!   I’m sure she’ll have a blast because D.D.I.D!!!!  That’s Jeff’s slogan -

“Daddy Does It Different”  :) 

oh – PS – the cards don’t actually have a black border around them.  I just needed to define the card from the white background.

something different

It’s not too often that I get to photograph older kids.  I’m not sure why that is.  Maybe as parents we just get tired of taking pictures by the time our kids get past the first decade…..  Older kids are so much fun because a) I don’t have to chase them and b) they are very genuine with their smiles – or lack there of.  I find them fascinating as I think of my daughter getting older and what she will be like.

These two girls were so much fun to work with.   Sisters and nine years apart – they couldn’t be more different.  Both with their own style, personality and beauty.  This session was a referral from one of my great clients that I photographed twice last year.  Click HERE to see some of her pics. 

The younger sister, witty and full of personality and zest for everything (except bugs)!

The older one – beauty beyond her years – but so innocent and sweet.

I can really see the resemblance in the next two pictures – that magnetic smile!

What can I say about this one?  Gorgeous – gorgeous – gorgeous! 

And with mom (dad got a hall pass for the day!).

Thanks for coming out on a hot and steamy morning!

just 3 weeks old….

I often tell people the best time to photograph newborns is within the first 10 days – that’s when they are the most sleepy and agreeable.  This little sweety was 3 weeks old – so we had a tough time getting her to fall asleep – but when she did, she was OUT!  And, it all worked out because even when she was awake she was really happy.  Such a cutie pie!

Click HERE to see a few of her cousin – right about the same age…. see any resemblance???

I had to include this – so funny!  We were talking about how our babies give us “the bird” sometimes.  I really think they know……

And she’s out…..

Must be a good dream……night-night miss “p”.   :)

My baby girl

I know I take a lot of snapshots of my daughter – but she rarely volunteers to let me take pictures of her.  So, this morning when she offered, I jumped at the chance.  It lasted for about 5 minutes – but hey – she’s two!

When I look at these images, I can’t believe how big she is – and yet how small she still is.  I never thought I could love a face so much! :)

This first picture I just love because it’s one of her genuine smiles.  I don’t get many of those for the camera – usually just the cheesy picture grins – which are cute too of course!

I love the third one – her cherry lips and cute little nose glowing in the sun.  Awwwww.

Sleepy baby

I don’t think I will ever tire of sneaking in my daughter’s room and taking pictures of her while she’s sleeping.  I did this with my point and shoot – in total darkness.  Don’t worry – she didn’t even budge when the flash went off. :)  Sorry I’ve been MIA for a while – had some out of town stuff come up.
