Easter Sessions- We had a tea party!

Thank you to all the clients that hired me, loved my vision and helped me create my vision. I will be posting more later...now to cleaning my house, making lunch, editing some pictures...taking Logan on his date with his grandma and cousins, cleaning some more, dinner and then more editing. The life! ;)

These are my sweet nieces and nephew (I was missing my Gab who moved to NY) they crack me up and I think I am going to post a picture of the youngest though my sister might not appreciate it. ahahaha






Mary I promise to blog more, I can't find the files of each of the kids I edited last night. You are an angel for letting me shoot all day in your yard! xoxo


From the moment they arrived this family just had such a calm, loving and respectful vibe about them. The kids were so charming and easy to photograph and I loved getting to know the parents. Thank you Karli!







This little one is the daughter of my dear friends and she cracks me up! She was so obedient and played pretend at my tea party so very well. Love her!



Oh this little cutie gave me kisses and hugs and was a real girly girl and I loved it! Her momma is so beautiful as well don't you think?!





Charlyn, I LOVE your family! I can't wait for that new addition and all the pictures we are going to take!





I have been photographing this stud muffin since he was a newborn. I wanted to keep him!

Go4Pro Leah Remillet

A little over a week ago as I loaded images onto my computer I decided to do some blog hopping. I haven't really blogged hopped lately so I was excited to see what everyone was up to. One of my most favorite photographers Amy Wenzel had a link to a website called Go4Pro, she had been interviewed and had such a sweet recommendation for this photographer named Leah who shares photography tips with everyone so I decided to link over to the site.

Two hours later, I was so delighted in the wonderful information this photographer has carefully found and then shared with the web. She is always giving credit to the photographers whom she learns from and who impress her in some way. At one point I found a post she wrote about an anonymous person who left her a comment about her grammar (I hope that person never visits my blog because they will die right there and then with mine ahahaha) and I felt so very sad for her. She is being so kind to share her knowledge with everyone, yet all this person could comment was about their dislike for her grammar. I left Leah a comment, lo and behold she linked to my blog and left ME a comment on my Amber post (you know that beautiful girl who posed for me at the abandoned house) and totally made my day. She then emailed me and asked if she could share my images. I was so excited! This morning I linked over to her blog to see what she is up to and guess what... she shared my images! Go over to her blog Go4Pro to learn about this incredibly sweet photographer. Thank you Leah! You have really made my month!

Here is one of the images from my Easter sessions from this weekend.

Questions and Answers about the Childrens Mini Sessions

I wanted to share some questions about the Mini sessions being offered right now: Can adults be added to the session, this is a children shoot only if you would like to add additional people it is $25.00 per person. #2 Is there a smaller session/fee being offered, this is the lowest fee that would be offered. A big thank you to everyone who is interested.


The props I am putting together will be so fun and I am really excited for the shoots!!

Amy- March Single Parent

Meet Amy, My March Single Parent. Amy and I had booked and re-scheduled her session 4 different times and the weather had us change plans last minute. Yesterday we were excited it looked so promising...that was until 15 minutes before her scheduled time to do the session when it started to rain and turned completely dark. :( But we were able to manage getting a few great shots. Amy was nominated for sacrificing so much for her daughter and being a great example to her friend Viviana.

Adorable Tween

This adorable tween is the sister of one of my past brides. Allie is a hair and makeup artist and last summer we met up at Borders and looked through magazines and chatted about doing sessions that helped us get our creativity out. Allie had this idea with this hair do and last week contacted me about doing a shoot while she was in town. She styled her sister from head to toe and I had so much fun shooting with them. I love how she did the make up (which I find to be soft and age appropriate) and I have to say Allie is one of the sweetest young ladies I have ever met. If anyone is interested in hiring Allie please let me know.











Chelsea and Ryan Engagements

This sweet and so very in love couple and I met up on Saturday to do a super mini session for their engagements. They were so shy and innocent I felt bad making them do my favorite kissy shots; but not bad enough to not post them because they are so cuuuute! :D

Amber

So, a couple of weeks ago I met this gorgeous girl at Nordstrom while window shopping with my bff Cami. She had this amazing style and I so wanted to ask her to do a shoot for me. I am shy about saying to people that I am a photographer so I whispered to Cami my idea and she asked her if she would model for me. When Amber with an excited attitude said yes, I felt like a little kid. We texted some ideas and set up the date. I knew where I wanted to take the pictures. I had heard about this place and had seen so many amazing photographers photos in this abandoned house. I knew Amber would be the perfect model.... AAAAAAAH I love these! I wish I had time to post them large, but please click on the pictures so you can see how yummy these
are!

O and she brought me a gift- a bag full of fabulous MAC Makeup. WOOOORD!!!!
