A Baby and a Red-headed Princess

May 14, 2008 – 9:05 pm

These kiddos were a lot of fun to photograph!  At 11 days old, baby “M” was wide awake for his entire session!  He was SO good, though, and was very content no matter what basket or prop I plopped him into.

Big sister “E” was reluctant to be photographed at first, but then she quickly entered into “show-off” mode and was hamming it up all over the place:

The Princess!

The Princess!

You gotta let loose a little after the camera’s been in your face for an hour!

Goofy!

The little guy had finally had it when it was time for a few sibling shots! I still got some cute ones, though. Here she was telling him “Shhhhh!” It was too cute!

Mother’s Day

May 11, 2008 – 8:59 pm

Happy Mother’s Day!  I came downstairs this morning to find a little surprise on the dining room table.  I have been eyeing this set of dishes at Target for what seems like forever now.  They were even on sale about two months ago and I have NO idea why I didn’t buy them then. I mean, come on…they were on SALE!  Hello!!!  Anyway, they made for a nice Mother’s Day surprise!  Now I wonder if I can actually keep my dining room table this clean and uncluttered?!? :-D

I’m thinking I need to go out now and pick up the matching mugs and serving bowl, along with some nice placemats that match the candle in the center of the table! What do you think?!? :-)

I don’t know how you wedding photographers do it! Getting through several hundred image edits and then deciding which ones to preview on your blog is NOT an easy task!

Still more to come…

Jason & Shelly: Wedding Part 1

May 7, 2008 – 11:08 pm

My brother Jason was married on Saturday! We never thought we would see the day…but I digress. I normally don’t photograph weddings, but when Jason and Shelly asked me to photograph theirs, how could I possibly say no?!? As I work my way through the 400 images that need to be edited (and yes, those are the “keepers!”) I will be posting some here.

This blonde-haired, blue-eyed cutie will be turning one year old in a couple of weeks. He was such a pleasure to photograph yesterday!

Finally Posting More Alaska Photos! :-P

April 16, 2008 – 12:52 am

Hey!  I guess there’s nothing like a new blog to motivate me to post some Alaska photos!  After all, I’ve got to keep up with my reputation of not posting photos until a few weeks (or even months) have passed by since they were taken, right?!?  :-) 

(Let’s hope that this nifty new blog will help remedy that bad habit a bit!)

One thing that really surprised me about Alaska was the bright green grass and colorful flowers everywhere.  Granted…it was August…but I still didn’t expect such color.  The images of Alaska we are accustomed to seeing tend to focus on the snow-covered landscape that is typical throughout much of the year.  The lush greenery of summer in Alaska, however, is something we are seldom exposed to.  There’s not much else I can say to describe just how colorful it really is, so I will just let the photos to do the talking for me!

Welcome to my New and Improved Photo Blog!

April 16, 2008 – 12:06 am

***This post will remain stuck at the top of this page for the next week or two, so please scroll down for newer posts***

After many late nights and lots of headaches (next time I think I’m paying someone to do this!) I finally have a brand-new, custom blog running off my own server!  What this means is I can do pretty much what I want with it instead of being stuck with the limited design and functionality of the standard blog services.  I think what I love most is being able to post really huge photos!  This now makes me want to post daily!  Okay… that may be stretching things a bit, but I certainly hope to be posting more frequently than what I ever had before!  I absolutely can’t wait to start posting sneak peeks of my upcoming spring photo sessions!  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your visit!
