Sneak Peak of little "G"

I had the opportunity to photography little "G" this past weekend. She is an adorable little girl who is going to be 2 years old in a few weeks. Mom had an idea of what she wanted in the pictures, but G had a different opinion!! Even though she didn't do exactly what her mom wanted, I think we still got a bunch a good shots. Enjoy your preview! I hope to have your gallery to you by Wednesday or Thursday.

Sorry for the delay

If you are waiting for you sneak peak I'll get them posted as soon as possible. I always like to get them up the same day as the session, but I was super busy today with sessions and I will be out of town all day tomorrow. I'll try my best to get them posted by Sunday night...Monday morning at the latest!!

The "F" Boys

I photographed these brothers this morning. The big brother, like always, did spectacular!! I never have to even tell him how to pose...he's just a natural. He always has a big smile and listens great. The little brother is 2 weeks old and did great too. It took a bit to get him to fall asleep, but once he did he was out like a light! You have a beautiful family...enjoy your preview.

Birth Photography

There is a slight change in my birth photography package....and it is for the better!! If you decide to have me photograph your labor and delivery you will receive a free newborn session ($50 value) and 25% off of all packages and prints for that session! Please contact me ASAP if you are interested in Birth Photography as I limit the number of sessions I take.

See the website under the "Birth Photography" section for more information.

Baby A

I had the pleasure of photographing 2 month old baby A today. She did FANTASTIC!!! All these babies are really giving me baby fever. Maybe I should run a newborn special?? Enjoy your preview. I hope to have the rest of your album to you by Tuesday at the latest.

Brothers

I photographed these two boys this weekend. The baby is 10 months old and did such a great job!! This age can be difficult because they realize that I'm a stranger and sometimes take awhile to warm up. But he was all smiles the entire time!

Finally pics of the studio

The studio in my home is just about done now. The entry area and hallway still need trim, and I still need to give some of the trim a second coat of paint, but it is coming along!! I hope to be completly done in the next month or so.

Mr. D

I took Mr. D's 6 month pictures today. He is just starting to learn to sit, so we had a few tough moments trying to get him to stay steady! My favorite pose of the bunch is the one with the white rug....there is nothing sweeter than a naked baby!! Enjoy your preview!

Valentine's pictures with my kids

I've spent the past few days working on pictures of my kids for Valentine's day cards and for Drew's 3 year pics. I'm so happy that the older they are getting , the more they are willing to participate and are excited about taking pictures. Drew actually told me he was excited to have his pictures taken...not sure if he was excited about that or the fact that he could have a giant heart shaped sucker at the end if he was good. Hey, I'm not above bribing my kids to get a few good pictures!

I also broke down and finally bought a pettiskirt. I've been thinking about getting one for a long time now...I'm so glad that I did. I can't wait to use it in future sessions!

Sneak Peak of the "R" Family

I had a session today with the "R" family. Dad is stationed in Germany and is home for the holidays! Little "A" didn't want to leave her Mom's side, but we managed to get a few of just her.

Enjoy your preview...I hope to have your gallery up by Sunday.

Reminder

This is just a friendly reminder that scanning my photographs or copying from the web is not allowed, and is also illegal. I realize that some people may not realize that what they are doing is illegal, but for many, they know it is and do it anyway. From here on out, you will receive a copyright notice with your print order. EVERYONE will get a copyright notice...so please do not think that I don't trust you when you see one with your order.

Digital files are available for purchase if you would rather print your photos yourself. I would be happy to recommend a great lab! The bad scans and poor color prints that you may do at home or at a "Wal-Mart" type lab are not a fair representation of my work. Would you trust Wal-Mart to do your job??

I've worked with many clients in getting them what they want so that both parties are happy. Just ask!!

Again, I think that most of my clients are honest people. I just wanted to get my message across to everyone...those who are honest, and those who are not so!

Preview of little "B"

I had a session with "B" a few days ago. She had the cutest little red Christmas Dress! She did really great. Most kids her age will shed a few tears at somepoint during the session, but not her!! Enjoy your preview...sorry it is a bit late.

Previews

If you are waiting for your gallery or your sneak peak I hope to have them all done today. I have been swamped and got a bit behind. I'm planing on working on it all day today!!

Sneak Peak brother and sister

I had a session today of a brother and sister. Being that she missed her morning nap and our session was right in the middle of big brother's nap time, I think that they did remarkably well!!

Enjoy your preview!

Working on home studio

When we built this house, we had every intention in building a small home studio in the basement like we had in Cedar Rapids. Well, the cost of the house went over budget, and there wasn't any money left=( So, for the past 2 months, I've been setting up and tearing down after every session in our living room. It wasn't that big of a deal...just a pain in the butt!! Well, we got a bid on building the studio space that we couldn't pass up. Of course, the only thing in the basement that will be finished will be the studio, but that's okay!! Maybe we'll finish the rest of the basement next year. I'm so excited for it to be done. I can't believe how fast it is coming along. Framing and drywall are done. I'm hoping that it will be finished in a couple of weeks! I'll post pictures of the process in the next couple of days!

Senior

I did a last minute Senior session for a friend of my brothers. Leave it to a guy to wait one week before pictures are due to decide that he wants Senior pictures taken!! I think that most girls think about and plan their sessions for months before hand! It was to cold to go outside, so we did studio shots. We might go out later in the year when it is warm out!

Preschool picutres

I did a photography fundraiser for my kids preschool a few weeks ago. 30 kids...whew, that was tiring! I think that it went really well. I've gotten many comments that parents were happy with them because they weren't the traditional school pictures. I had a lot of fun doing it, and it was great to be able to give something back to the preschool! Here is just one of the many cuties I had the pleasure of photographing!
