I may be a day late in wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, but I had to share this photo from yesterday!
Wishing you all a safe and happy New Year; I can’t wait to see where it takes us.

two posts in one
Posted on December 22, 2009
In one word, the last few weeks have been crazy! I am finally done with all the edits and the cd’s are out the door. I have no energy left to do separate posts ~ sorry guys! Both of these families were wonderful to work with. I am so blessed with the people I have met doing what I love. Thanks for making my last two sessions so memorable.

find me an agent
Posted on December 18, 2009
These two kids are so beautiful, they need to find an agent and start working in the model/film industry. My dear friend Penni asked me to take some pictures of her kids for their Christmas card. We met on a very cold morning as the rain threatened to fall on us. We made it through the session without getting to wet and managed to stay warm as well.
Cookies were afterwards; nothing beats ending a session with cookies and hot chocolate. Penni, your kids are amazing and I will work with them anytime you want new pictures!

my baby
Posted on December 17, 2009
I don’t post very many of my own photos here. Some people have been asking to see some of my kids. I found these while I was editing a session and thought I would share. Here is my baby enjoying a cookie. Thanks for the memories Penni!
the cold will not stop us
Posted on December 15, 2009
We may have been rained out the day before, but there was not way we were going to let the cold cancel our session, and I am so happy we made it!
I fell in love with this family. There little girls are simply adorable; mom and dad are madly in love and grandma and grandpa were sports. Photography gives me a change to capture people on their own level. Chatting during the session not only eases everyone but helps me get to know them an a deeper level.
Nick and Elizabeth were great. I would love to have to do a couples session with them. The energy that bounces off them makes me want to try to capture it. And their girls, look at the baby’s boots, way to cute. Callyn, the oldest, was super sweet. If the weather was a bit nicer, I could have ran behind her all day. The energy that kids have makes me wonder where does it go and why can’t I still have some of that at my age.

life with boys
Posted on December 13, 2009
This family is very similar to mine; they have two boys that are spaced apart about the same as my boys. We started the session out at their home. Nolan was playing trains, something my 3 year old is obsessed with as well. We had a bit of a conversation discussing all the trains in his collection.
Logan was one super great baby. I never heard a peep out of him; and those eyes, they are amazing. The last picture that I posted makes me smile. Look at his expression! I wonder what he was thinking.

i could have posted them all
Posted on December 7, 2009
Yep, I so wanted to post all the pictures from this session but didn’t think 40+ images would fit in one post. This family is beautiful!!!
They decided to get together and have a “family portrait” taken for their parents for Christmas. I so wish I could see the mom’s face on Christmas morning when she unwraps this present. As a mom, I think this is one of the best gifts that one could get. How thoughtful; taking the time out to get all the siblings together and making this happen. This will be a top gift for mom (and dad) for many years to come.
Not only are these kids cute they are super nice and down to earth. We had a bit of a walk during our session and it was fun to get to know them. If I had a chance, I would love to talk to their parents and ask them what their secret is; how do you raise kids to turn out this good?
hello christmas
Posted on December 4, 2009
The moment I saw the first picture in this posting, the saying “hello Christmas” popped in my head. Not sure why, but it did. And look as his face ~ can something be any more precious!?!
I have done several sessions with this family and each time I walk away happy. You can tell how much they love each other and their little boy. He is one lucky baby; the love is pouring out of his parents and he is soaking it all in. He is also walking ~ 10 months old and walking! I had a blast chasing him around, little ones can be a very good workout.
At the beginning of our session, Katie gave me a card. When I got home I opened it. She had made me the sweetest “thank you” card and had written some very nice things for me. It may have seemed small to her while she made my card, but is was huge to me. Thanks for making my day; your card is tucked away with my important papers.

a shoot with swings
Posted on December 2, 2009
I enjoy letting families play during our sessions. This puts everyone at ease and enables me to capture moments that only come out when people are relaxed. Elizabeth Park has a great playground and during the middle of our shoot we all headed over there to burn off some energy. Plus it was very cold out and it was nice to get the body worked up and produce some heat.
I basically spend the weekend with part of this family; did the main family on Saturday and then had another session with Katie on Sunday (those pictures will be posted soon). Great family + great energy = a very fun shot. With clients like the Nuessen’s it makes my job so easy!
