Matthew = Oh Baby Session!

December 14, 2008 – 10:27 pm

Matthew here was my first baby session ever. In these photos he’s just about two weeks old, and as his mom assures me, so very much bigger that, looking at these photos, she can barely believe he was ever this small. Yes. They grow up that fast, and the photos from when they are this small, this brand new, can bring back times that seem like such a blur. I don’t know firsthand, but have heard, apparently these newborns, they wake you up at night! I know. Unbelievable huh?

I don’t care though, he was just too adorable to care, and I’m sure his parents agree. Without further ado, here are the photos. The first one was just too darn pretty to mess up with my logo, so you’ll find it brand absent. Enjoy!

Cans for Comments!

December 14, 2008 – 7:04 pm

I found this from Anne Ruthman’s Blog. Not only is Anne a fellow member of Pictage (how I discovered her!) she’s also a super talented photographer with a great passion for using her photography to help when she can. She not only held the cans for comments marathon on her blog, her wedding bee posts, AND her business blog, she also generated 300 comments. That’s right! 300 cans of food.

Now on a personal note I have to say that I donate a gift to a child every year. If I forget and it’s perilously close to Christmas I can be found running desperately through a mall, toy in hand, looking for a donation bin. I almost cried one year when I thought I was too late. Luckily I found a bin (hence no crying) but forever after I’ve remembered that experience. This year I have my toy already donated, but I have to admit, it saddens me to hear on the news how many families find themselves going hungry, as they never have before, in these tough economic times. I would never say that I’m a humanitarian, but I would admit I’ve been known to give away my last dollar, make my boyfriend turn around, drive home, and pull out a jacket he hasn’t worn in ages to give to someone in need, but I’ll also say that I’ve never regretted it. And this year I find myself in a position to give, so I’d love to participate in this. And I’d love to have my blog involved in that giving as well.

I’ve borrowed a video from super talented Jerk with a Camera. You’ll notice that his marathon ended on Dec. 12, 2008. Since I’m obviously starting late, mine will end on Dec. 20, 2008. Close to the holidays? Yes. But I don’t believe that just because I found this band wagon too late means that I shouldn’t jump on. For each person that posts a comment on my blog I will donate a can of food to the foodbank, please comment. On the 21st I will make sure to share the results, as well as thank you all for your participation. Please note that you can comment on any post you wish, I do receive an email regarding each and every comment, and if you feel a bit stuck you can also comment on this post with your favorite canned food (suggestions you know!).

Hope you are all having wonderful holidays!

Boys + Bubbles = Family Session!

December 12, 2008 – 1:34 am

Family sessions during the holidays are a must, and these two boys were so great. Luckily I knew ahead of time a little bribery is a necessity, so what did I bring?

BUBBLES! They seemed to have so much fun.

Enjoy,

Introducing “The Shooting Range”

December 9, 2008 – 1:13 am

My dad, also known as one of my biggest fans (he seriously talks me up non-stop, if you look even slightly engaged he’s handing over my web address in a heartbeat), was in charge of arranging his company’s holiday party this year. Sometime in the midst of his planning he gave me a call and asked if I would be available to take the photos. Of course I was, which is when I pitched my latest scheme, a traveling backdrop, photobooth look-a-like, or as I like to call it, ‘The Shooting Range’.

I’d definitely messed with backdrops before, but was unhappy with the results so had sadly shelfed the idea for a bit. Well meet the revamped, inspired, and total goofy newest addition to the services I offer. This was The Shooting Range’s first trip out, and so it’s in serious beta mode, but I am very very happy with the results so far. If you are interested in adding this to your package during beta mode (final tweaks will be made in early January when it travels out to a Jan. 3rd wedding) please send me an email and you can catch it at it’s beta mode price. Super savings yay! Beta Mode price will go away after the Jan. 3rd wedding, so if you are interested, definitely let me know.

Thanks got to both my super willing participants (you guys were so much fun!), and to the Kaisers for inspiring me to go back to go back to the backdrop drawing board. Hope you enjoy the wackiness!


Asal started off the night by posing for me to test the light, who knew she’d end up looking so cute?
