Hello 2011

It’s a new year! I’m excited for all that this year will bring, especially some great things for my business. I have a few workshops to attend in the next months and I am looking forward to learning all that I can from some amazing photographers. More on those as the dates come closer.

We had a great time celebrating the holidays with my family coming to visit from Los Angeles. The boys especially loved having their great-grandma to play with for a week.

I have one last photo to share- it was the last of my mini-sessions for the holidays. Isn’t this little one darling! She’s just learning to walk, and is so proud of it. I love the family’s tree in the background- just dreamy!

Plautz – Mini Shoot

I have been busy the past few weeks with holiday mini shoots. Here is a quick shot of the Plautz family for their Christmas card.

The Rose Family – Holiday Mini Shoot

I met up with the Roses over the weekend for a quick mini shoot. Mom Laura had one request- get a picture of both kids together. As a mom of two myself, I know this is so hard to do! I love the one we got…

And another of the whole family for a holiday card:

Mini-shoots are a great way to snap a few family photos without booking a full session with me. The cost is $75. I will spend 30-45 minutes with your family and will give you ten images to select from our time together. These images will not be fully edited, just a few adjustments of saturation and contrast. I think you will be pleased with the end result. Contact me if you are interested!

Holiday Mini-Session

Tony and Missy are friends of ours from church. We’ve enjoyed getting to know them and look forward to spending many more fun evenings with them and their sweet little guy, Brett. I did a mini-shoot for them last week, which is a great way for families to get a few good shots for their holiday cards. Here are a few…

And I love this next one. The moment seems so quiet and just captures a new mom rocking her sweet son to sleep.

Fresh Start

I took photos of this family as they were celebrating moving into their new house! It’s been several months since they have been displaced, looking for the perfect home and I believe they have found it.

Rachael is busy getting settled because in a few short weeks, she will welcome another baby! I’m sure you will see pictures of him on this blog when he arrives. I can’t wait to get my hands on another tiny newborn!

Here are a few favorites from their session. I love this little guy. He was all giggles during our session.

I was absolutely delighted with this last photo. I think the family is going to enlarge it, possibly on a gallery-wrapped canvas. Just perfect!!
