I love me some baby chunk!

Yup, she was this happy the entire time!

Girl Power!

This weekend was a busy one. Several photo shoots, all with girls. Six girls to be exact! Wow.

Here's the youngest of my little subjects this weekend. Yes, Miss Riley is a girl...her daddy wanted to play dress up with her.

And here she is with mommy, all dolled up on her Baptism gown that has been in the family for 5 generations. So special/

And the Senior Winner is...

Alison

I'll be calling you!

I am wrapping up my 2008 Senior season (although I still have two more senior shoots to go) and gearing up for 2009 Seniors.

Senior 411

Hey 2008 Seniors...it's that time to start ordering your invitations for that fabulous Graduation Bash your parents are planning for you.

To see designs in more detail click HERE.

(names and locations have been changed to protect the innocent....or guilty.)

Also, check out the new 411 Card designs. The 411 cards are a modern take on the wallets. These are 2 x 3.5 press printed, double sided with pictures on front and back, your name and room for your 411 (cell number, myspace page, email etc.)






The 411 cards are included in my 2009 Senior Shoot Upgrades, but 2008 seniors can order them too. Hint Parents, these make great gifts for your seniors before they head off to college.





2009 Seniors...i've already started booking shoots. Call me soon, I book up on Senior shoots fast!

3 Generations

I enjoyed a nice hour drive out to this family's place. The weather was strange...snow, sun, snow...Crazy. But I didn't want to postpone because their kids were only in town for a day. We did get a couple minutes outside for a few shots while the weather decided what it wanted to do.

Cozy's Cupcake

In the back of my mind I have the song playing..."It's my party and I'll cry if I want too."


Little Cozette came for her 1 year photo shoot with me a couple of day's ago. I surprised her with a little cupcake. By the time she got it she was about done with being my little model. So she was a tad fussy....

...then she reached for the cupcake.

...and shoved that thing in her mouth. And I mean shoved!

...so much that it started to crumple. And we started to giggle.
...her little arms and legs started to wiggle in frustration.

And we were now nearly falling over laughing. ...then she was DONE! And so was our photo shoot.
Happy Birthday Cozette!

Kisser...

...fair warning to all future clients. When you bring babies to me with chunky cheeks, they are going to get kisses from me. I just cant help myself...count it as a bonus from your friendly photographer ;).

I think Bryson here may be getting used to it by now.

Mack's Back!

And he's crying over gas prices. Can you blame him?

And look at these sweet cougars. Had to post these. Go Cougs!

In a Van...Down by the River.

Crazy title to this post huh? Well, I thought I would share with you a little secret from my last session. This little man, we'll call him "Smilish", set out with me for a little adventure and his 5th year photo session. The sun was bright...but the wind was blowing and it was cold. So at each new location we had about 1 minute to get out and shoot before we jumped back into the warm van. So when I reached the location down by the river I decided to stay in the van for a while to warm him up. My solution, pump up the heat...throw up a small backdrop and open the van door wide. And there you have it...a mobile photo studio with amazing natural light!

And here's the set-up.And the result. Not bad for a Van Down By The River.
