Editing Mania

I needed a little breather from editing photos. For those waiting for their proofs to be rehosted, or to see their session from the past week...I promise I'm working on it! I had to find a new way to host client proofs after my old site closed its doors on Thursday, and now I'm attempting to link it to my site. Over my head. Totally. But I'm all over it! Here's a couple from the past few days of my editing madness!!!

This is actually not MY daughter, although they do look similar in ways, don't they? Either way, super CUTE!



This is a family who had a session with me for the third year in a row. The twins are my daughter's age, and they added a new one in there this year! It's always SO fun for me to see how much kids have grown, since I usually only see them 1-2 times per year!



Okay, (deep breath) I'm back off to edit and play with some more "web stuff".

Maternity...Wow!

I had the first grabber for my "Maternity Session Special", and boy was she NOT messing around! This was some of the most fun I've had during a session in a while! She showed up more prepared than I ever imagined and we had a blast, despite the heat!

And not that I wanted to slap her or anything, but can you believe she only has 6 weeks left?!

A, If you're reading this, all kidding aside, look at yourself...you ROCK! This was such a successful session, I can't get over how many awesome shots we got! Thank you!

Happy Allergy Season



Is it even Allergy season? I have just been wiped out the past few days with allergy-type "stuff", it's actually pretty annoying.

Things are getting busy in my little world. Lots of calls and emails for appointments in response to the new site, which is encouraging! Thanks for all of the kind words about the new site, and to those of you who obviously forwarded it off to your friends and family..."You rock!"

This is a little guy who I took newborn photos of earlier this year, and again now at 9 months. I just LOVE this photo, it's so classic and simple to me! The little outfit couldn't have been better for this shot! On that note, I'm off to finish up editing his session!

Hello...Is This Thing On?

Well, if someone besides myself is reading this, it looks as if I've entered the world of blogging! How I think I'm going to have time for this on top of the hectic season that in coming at me...beyond me. But lots of photographers are doing it, so I figured "What the heck, let's give it a whirl!" New website, new ideas, I even bought some nifty new packaging, so hey, new blog too, why not?!!! I'm thinking it will be kind of fun...and it'll give me a way to keep my clients updated, to share a couple of shots from recent sessions, and to completely overwhelm everyone with photos of my own children (because I REALLY did try to limit how many of those I put on my actual website). It's tough, ya know, they're really pretty darned cute (even the little one with the attitude).


Okay, here's where I'm supposed to share some photos with you, let's see...

This is my baby boy, who started Kindergarten 2 weeks ago. I was sure that I would either hyperventilate or curl into the fetal position on Day 1, but I'm happy to report I did pretty good! Notice how proud of himself he looks here on his way to the bus. He spent the first week thinking he was "Joe Kindergarten", but things got a little emotional on Friday...he had his first "I want to stay home " episode.


This is a friends' wedding that we went to last weekend, which was so so beautiful! I've hit her up to let me practice with some less traditional bridal shots, so you may see more of her on her soon! But doesn't she look like she's having the time of her life here? I just love this photo!



And this is my "little one with an attitude", need I say more, look at the little hellion. Believe it or not, she's the same one who is on the opening splash page of my website (LOOKS cute, right?)
