Hey Groupon Holders! I only have a few more bookings in May left! I am completely booked for June and July, i.e. I have NO availability for June and July. The Groupon expires August 2, 2012! Hurry and book your session.
 It was a beautiful, cool overcast day when I met Rachel, her husband Michael, and their two adorable boys Mitch and Matthew in my secret grassy field location at the end of February, February 29th to be exact: Leap Day! Rachel was smiling from ear to ear and she said to me: “All I wanted was *this* for Mother’s Day!” “This” was referring to a family photography session with all of them as a family together. She said she had been wanting one for a very long time and was so happy to have this day finally arrive! I began by telling everyone that I was going to make them JUMP! or leap for Leap Day. This was a good ice breaker and got the boys and dad laughing! I have to say when Dad is having fun, it’s the best! I loved all of their stylish outfits and they coordinated so well together!! Even their shoes were awesome! After I got a few crazy leaping photos we got some gorgeous light over by a tree covered with vines. I remember acting like a crazy woman trying to get the boys to smile a natural smile. Sometimes its hard to get them to open up because many times kids are just completely bored with “posing.” So I started asking the boys several things about what they liked and I immediately learned they were totally into telling jokes. I told them a few jokes I like to keep up my sleeve and they were cracking up at my ridiculous alligator jokes. Then they started telling some of their own!! It got to be a fun way to loosen everyone up and I came away with more kids jokes for another time! The boys also had fun sticking pieces of the wild grass in their mouths! I absolutely love the photos I was able to capture for you Rachel and Michael and family; I hope you enjoy all of your prints and I hope you have a beautiful Mother’s Day! .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) no comments       Here is Rebecca’s Senior Signing Book! I used Jamie Schultz Designs Senior Signing book template to design Rebecca’s Senior book. Its a gorgeous layout!! Here is a sneak peek of what it will look like! Its going to be printed at an 8×10″ and will be a hard cover lay flat photobook. Rebecca can display it at her Graduation Open House/Party and also have her friends sign the book like a yearbook or a guestbook! Its very versatile! .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg)
no comments  So I’ve been wanting to get a new fresh look for my blog for Spring… I wanted something bright and cheery. What do you think? I am loving the yellow! Comment and tell me what you think of my new blog look. Meanwhile I wanted to post photos from the beginning of baseball season of my little boy. He is 7 and is in love with everything baseball. He’s never played before now, but he is really good at it and can’t get enough. Unfortunately for me, he *can* get enough of my photographing him, LOL. Enjoy a “vintagey” black and white of my sweet boy!
no comments  Rebecca and her mom, Jennifer met me 2 weeks ago for Rebecca’s senior grad shoot. Jennifer and I had been trying to get this scheduled for months now and we finally were able to settle on a date and location! I had the best time at this session! They were so energetic and were totally into my crazy locations! I had Jennifer filling in as my assistant and she was flawless. Rebecca was sweet and she knew how to rock the camera. Her clothes and hair were to die for and she had a natural ability to pose and to know exactly what I wanted her to do before I even said it. She’s a natural! What I loved most about photographing Rebecca was the ability to see the girl that she was and at the same time the woman she is becoming. I could see this duality in her facial expressions as I snapped away and it choked me up. It made me think of my sweet daughter who, in just eight short years will be at the same point as Rebecca, graduating from high school, venturing off into life as an adult and perhaps leaving home. Despite the bitter-sweet feeling coming over me, I realized what a super awesome feeling it was to be able to capture a young person at this stage, at this momentous turning point in her life. Rebecca, I wish you the all the best as you graduate from high school and embark on a new journey out in the world! Thank you for the opportunity to capture your gorgeousness, both on the inside as well as the outside. Thank you also to Jennifer, so much! I couldn’t have done this without you. Enjoy! .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg)
