i had a lot of fun taking pictures of evan and his parents! i have seen many pictures of evan but hadn't met him until this chilly november day. however, i have know his parents for many years! catherine and i were partners in crime at one of our first jobs and have stayed in touch through the years!

Susan and her girls!

Here is a sneak preview! Hope you enjoy - I sure had fun taking pictures. I just wish we had started a bit earlier as we were losing light quickly. Nevertheless, I think there are some great ones. (Susan, more to come in your gallery!)

More Sample Cards

Here are 2 more sample cards and 2 previously shown but now you can see the back as well since all cards will be printed on front and back.

Christmas Cards and Mini Sessions!

It’s that time to start thinking about the holiday season!!! I will only take a limited number of sessions per week and all holiday sessions need to be completed by the beginning of November to ensure holiday delivery.

Full sessions: Let me know right away if you’d like to book a FULL session. A full shoot is 1-1.5 hours long and takes place in a location of your choosing - that can be at your home, a park, Lewis Ginter, an urban setting, etc. Your gallery will include at least 30 different images (usually more!) with a variety of shots, sibling shots, family shots, you name it. Basically, we just hang out for an hour or hour and a half and I capture your kids and your family in their element, being themselves, and having a good time all around! Please view my website for details and print minimums.

Mini sessions: I am also booking a limited number of mini-sessions that will take place on 2 different Sunday afternoons in October. Please let me know ASAP if you’d like to reserve a spot, because these will to go fast. I still aim to capture as much variety as I can, and we can still do individual, sibling, and family shots, but obviously it is not as comprehensive as a full shoot. These sessions give past clients who have recently had a full session an opportunity to get some updated images for holiday cards and to give as gifts. New clients who may just want to get holiday cards and a few images for themselves or the grandparents may also be interested.

Here is what you get in the mini-session:

- 20 minute shoot
- 10-12 proofed images
- 50 Holiday Cards
- (1) 8×10 Print
- (3) 5×7 Prints

Below are some samples cards. Over the next week or so, check back to see more designs! Most cards can be edited to be vertical or horizontal pictures and text can be changed as well!

BLAKE!

I had the opportunity to take some pictures of Blake and his family. What a fabulous little boy- fun to be around and what great manners too! It was really hot but he was a trooper and also knew he had an ice cream date afterwards!

These are some of my favorites from the shoot!

Elizabeth!

look at this 15 month old litte girl! how cute is she? she has a huge, fun personality and she was so fun to be around! here is a sneak peek from our time together!

fun with the boys!

jordan and joshua were a lot of fun... although with 2 boys always (always) on the move, it was hard to get many pictures with both of them! We took many breaks to wrestle and be silly which was great!

i like both of these storyboards too! i am enjoying trying different layouts! these would look great in a gallery type frame!

Round Up

Full Circle Grief Center is a wonderful organization. I have had the opportunity to get to know the founder, Allyson Drake, and learn more about what support and services they offer. First and foremost, they provide children with creative ways to express their grief and remember their loved one.

Check out their site to learn more- they always needs volunteers and support from the community.

In the meantime, check out the pictures below from their Round Up event! There are many pictures of precious kids and they were all having a blast since with a moonbounce, face-painting, and all kinds of crafts! It was a fun afternoon for all and benefited a great cause - the weather didn't even kept anyone away! the lone push car was abandoned for a more exciting moonbounce!
