Mr. S {Quad City Kids Photographer}

Mr. S had his 2 year session yesterday.  It is hard to believe that he is 2 already!  I've said it before but I think that 2 is the hardest age.  They definitely have a mind of their own and they don't stay in one spot for longer than 10 seconds so the parents and I spend most of the time just chasing them around!  That's alright...I can stand to burn a few extra calories :) Enjoy your sneak peak!

Another Wedding! {Quad City Photographer}

I was able to help out with another wedding with Elizabeth Somes Images this weekend.  I'm really starting to like this wedding thing:)  Here are a few of my favorites!!  Click image for a larger version!

August/September Special! {Quad Cities Baby Photographer}

Hello everyone! For the months of August and September I will be offering a CD of ALL of the images in your gallery for $250 including your sitting fee. These images will be edited and at full resolution and will include a print authorization.  I will also upload the CD to an online printer that has great quality and is VERY reasonably priced.

I have had people in the past few months ask if I would sell the CD and I have been hesitant to do so. But, I thought that I can give it a try for a couple of months and if people seem to like it I will offer it along with
my regular print packages.

I'm hoping that by offering the CD it will save YOU money, since many of my clients spend more than $250 and will save ME time in processing orders...time which I don't have so much of anymore with 3 kids!

If you have any questions please let me know.  This would be a great time to get pictures for XMAS cards!  Also, if you know of anyone that might be interested in this offer please forward it on to them.  You receive a free 8X10 with every referral:) 

2 year old in the park {Baby Photographer Quad Cities}

I photographed Miss M again over the weekend.  When we first got started I was super surprised how well she was doing.  She would stop and smile and pose all on her own for me!  Most 2 year old don't do that.  At 2 you have to chase them around and hope you get more than just a flash in front of the camera.  She ended up being a regular 2 year old after about 15 minutes...but hey, sometimes all you need is 15 minutes to get some great shots!!

Just because {Photographer in Bettendorf}

I'm sure it's just because he is mine, but how cute is Drew! He has been asking for a mohawk.  If we weren't going on vacation in a few weeks I might consider letting him...so instead he got a fauxhawk.  He keeps asking me if he looks like a real rock star now:)
