Now booking FALL sessions
Just wanted to pop on to quickly remind you all that I am now booking for FALL. I realize in this disgusting heat it’s hard to believe but, nonetheless it’s true. Spots are filling really fast and availability is already limited. Please contact me ASAP if you want a fall session before it’s too late.
A&R turn one!
I had a blast this afternoon at my session with A&R! These adorable twin girls just celebrated their big FIRST birthday! We had planned on shooting at a local park but this crazy weather had other plans. Mom & dad are troopers and rolled with the punches when I suggested we shoot inside at their parent’s house, a.k.a. Grammy & Grampy’s house. (BTW, thanks Grammy & Grampy for letting use your house!) And man it was totally worth it, we had such an AMAZING session. We started our session with a tea party, then we moved on to some adorable customized cookies which had the girls initials on them. (In case you are wondering, mom scored them at her local Hallmark.) Then the rain let up so we headed outside for a bit more fun and ended our session with a super fun cake smash. Because seriously, it wouldn’t be a first birthday without a cake smash, right? LOL! Thanks again guys, it’s always a blast hanging with you all. Here’s a little tease for now. Enjoy!
“How’s your cookie?” – “Good, how’s yours?”
“DELICIOUS!”
“TOTALLY!”
Fabulous Finds Friday {Fotoclips}
Happy Friday! Is it hot enough for you? This heat wave is killing me! I do not function well in heat. So I can only hope it will rain sometime soon and break this horrible humidity. Alright enough of being a crabby pants…LOL!
Before I get started sharing my fabulous find with you, I wanted to take a minute to announce the winners of the vacation photo contest.
**Drum roll please**

Christine K. & Jody B.
And the grand prize winner for a $100 gift certificate is:
Kristen D.
I’ll be in touch soon with your prizes. Thanks to all who entered and thank you to those who voted to help me pick a winner!
Now onto my fabulous find, Fotoclips. What is a Fotoclip you ask? Here you go:
“Fotoclips are tiny clear plastic fasteners which serve one simple purpose in life: to help you build things with your photos. Each box comes with 110 clips: 100 “2D” clips that hold two photos together, and 10 “3D” clips that allow you to attach photos at an angle to other Fotoclips.
Take a box of Fotoclips and a pile of photos, and you’ve got all the ingredients you need to build a photo lampshade, a photo wall, a photo skirt, curvy durvy photo sculptures, pretty much anything you can dream up.
Get several boxes and build a room divider, or cover your room with photos, floor-to-ceiling. Or give a box to all your photo-loving friends. At just $10, they’re easy and thoughtful gifts.” (description and image from the Photojojo store.)
Now, you are likely wondering how you can get your hands on some of these awesome clips. Well, you can get your own set(s) at the Photojo store, along with many other really cool photography gadgets. Happy shopping and have a great weekend!
Photo Swap 2010
This afternoon was my big photo swap session with Lindsay Shaw Lehmann. I’m sure you remember the fabulous photos she took of my family last week. Well today was my chance to return the favor. I have to say, I always get nervous photographing her family. I mean photographing another photographer, YIKES … no pressure right? But as always, it was such a blast. I truly enjoy hanging out with them all and of course Linds and I always have fun talking shop. (But I’m afraid we bore her poor hubby to tears. Thanks for hanging in there Adam! LOL!) Anyway, thanks again Linds, I LOVE my pictures and I hope you enjoy yours just as much!
P.S. Hope you all have a happy and safe holiday weekend!
