Out of town

Hey just wanted to let everyone know I'll be out of town on vacation for the next 10 days! I'm so excited for the break with my boys! All emails, phone calls, picture orders, editing, etc, will be done when I get home. Thanks everyone!

Oh and here's a few of a fun newborn session yesterday. So sweet!

I wish boys were this nice when I was in high school

I was really worried about doing a senior session with a boy because I know how much guys hate sitting in front of the camera...especially for hours. So I was pleasantly surprised when this guy was so willing to do whatever I asked. Such a sweetheart and out of my sisters lips...."he's hot!"

P.S. Flickr is being really retarded with my colors tonight....I wondered whether I should post these or not because the colors are so faded, but I wanted his fam to be able to preview a few, so just know that they really are much more vibrant. I'll try to fix it in the morning.








Dang....his eyes look so green in this picture, too bad it doesn't show here. It really makes it great!

I have no words...

This girls beauty speaks for itself! And WOW she could work it for the camera!

Because I'm a bad friend...

These should have been done a week ago and they are still not quite done. So here are a few more to hold you over Shelle....SORRY! I promise it won't be much longer.









This last one is especially for you Shelle...and you know why :)

Getting up close and personal

Is there anything more beautiful than the face of your own child? I don't think so. I think of my boys as a work of art that I'm lucky enough to see and experience every day. I know that sounds a little cheesy, but it really is true. This is the reason that I love a close up picture, especially of children! A close up picture leaves out all the distractions and focuses on what you are really getting the pictures for, to remember every detail in your childs face before it changes tomorrow.

So my tip to you today is that no matter what type of camera you have, get up close and personal with your own kids to get that perfect picture. Make sure the focus is right on the eyes and you will have a stunning picture!

A few expamples from my most recent shoot...

It's beginning to look a lot like Easter!

Instead of selling lemonade we used to sell rocks, we rolled our Rs and we went on fun family vacations together. Now we are all grown with our own kids but it was so fun to see them again. With 11 grandchildren and many that are 12 months and younger this could have been a train wreck but they preformed beautifully. Excuse the many pictures, but we took a whole bunch and I just couldn't leave anyone out.

















Thanks so much you guys...I haven't even been able to go through all the pictures we got, I just chose a few of my favs so far. Hope you like them!

Wahoo!

It may be because she is one of my best friends but I had SO MUCH FUN during this shoot and I must say she is gorgeous! Thanks Shelle!
