July 30, 2009

I have been wanting to do a ‘body parts’ shoot with my youngest for awhile. Now she is way past the newborn stage, and my own crazy life got in the way of getting any decent newborn pictures of her.
But I had a few moments today to take these. As a mother, these are so touching. I want to offer this simple shoot to other mothers, please contact me today about booking a sleeping babe shoot! These will be priced differently, as I keep this as fresh and natural as possible. The shoot will be quick, and the processing very very light.






And if a big sister wants to join in on the fun, thats ok too!

This little girl could make the grumpiest person smile! I just love Emma! And Emma? Emma just loves horses.
So after a quick shoot downtown, we scooted over to see the beloved horse, Abra.
Folks, this has to be my favorite picture of 2009. I am sure you have seen it, and if you haven’t seen it, you have heard me talk about it.




I think its just lovely, if I do say so myself. You can see Emma’s timid nature, yet her strength and love all in the same picture. Loves it people, loves.





So, thank you Emma for another great adventure!

Today I got to met little B and his mommy. I was a bit nervous about his age, but he did great for me! After some handling, he decided not to sleep, but after some snuggly mommy time, he was back out like a light.
This is a larger picture blog, I just couldn’t decide on a few, he was too precious.








And some time in the next week, I get to met his older sisters. I can’t wait!

I found a new spot to use for shoots, so I had to pack up my kids, and my best friends kids for a quick (and I mean quick, it was SO hot!) shoot.

I may be biased, but I think they are all little models!
Speaking of models, I am doing a model call.
In hopes of getting some different pictures for my website, I am hosting a modeling call. The shoot is completely free, and I will give you 2-3 web sized pictures for your facebook or myspace purposing. They will have my logo on the picture. Want to purchase some prints? No problem! Enjoy 15% off my print pricing and no minimum order required. These will be 30-45 minute mini shoots. Offer is only good until the end of August, so email or call now!
** As of July, we are all booked up on the model call, thanks!
