How do you like your camera … I’ll take mine FRIED!

09.01.10

Last night I headed out with all my gear to photograph a repeat client of mine. I love getting to watch little ones grow…he has the NEATEST eyes, and you know me … I LOVE the eyes At the end of the shoot, just when we were trying to squeeze in just a few more, my camera decided to FRY! I don’t know why … it decided to FRY!?!?!? (cute little poem eh?) Sad day. I took it in to the store I purchased it from (and an extended “we cover everything” warranty) and they are deciding whether surgery or complete replacement is necessary … boo hiss! Luckily it didn’t fry the images and we were just finishing up the shoot anyway … but man! (On a good note, I had to purchase a card reader to get my pictures off my card and on my computer, why oh why did I not do this forever ago? So much faster than the camera transfer!) Enjoy~

…I Love You More

08.30.10

I had the amazing opportunity to photograph an incredible family. This little man found out only 3 short weeks ago that he has a life threatening illness. Amazing how life can turn, what a brave soul. It was my pleasure to photograph them and all during our photo shoot, he kept telling his dear mother, “I love you” … and she’d respond with, “I love you” to which he would say … “I love you more!”

You and Me … and baby makes three …

08.27.10

I am so lucky to be reminded how great little babies are! Especially when I am only three months away from enjoying another little spirit in my home. This little dolly was only 4 months old, but isn’t she so darling? She wasn’t very happy with us until she got to eat, but then she was all giggly and telling me all sorts of stories. Thanks for coming up you guys, enjoy.

POSE FOR BOWS sneak peek and product preview!

08.19.10

I have to say this has been one of my FAVORITE portrait parties ever! It was so fun to get all the neat products, it was like Christmas! Thanks to all those that attended and your products are ALL to die for! So without further ado … here’s the pics and the products!

This first little group of darlings belong to Lorraine Hunt, a very talented quilter. She brought me the CUTEST baby quilt (the backing is minky!) You can see the quilt in the picture with all four girls (scroll down a few) I used it for a prop Thanks Lorraine and I am sure I will be contacting you again for more! If you are interested in contacting Lorraine about her darling quilts, email me and we’ll get ya the details.

Next is a group of FOUR girls (oldest age 3!) aren’t they dolls! Their talented mother Alexis Hicks makes these classy vintage bows/headbands (I LOVE the feathers!) to contact Alexis about purchasing bows email her at lexielou67@hotmail.com (quilt in picture is the one I got from Lorraine).

Next we have the darling little trio from the talented Hailey Sant. Her bows are so cute and unique, I love the fabric flowers! To contact Hailey about ordering email her at haileysant@hotmail.com

Now, how can I properly introduce the CUTEST KIDS CLOTHES EVER! (Hopefully that will do!) Stephanie Rasband with PEPPERGRASS CLOTHING makes these custom clothes/ties to fit your needs! I am so excited to get mine~you know there will be pictures to follow! You MUST check her out (click on the link to visit her site).

This next group of cuties I have had the pleasure of photographing before (during the Secretly Spoiled photo shoot) so you KNOW they are darling! They brought me the motherload of bows, flowers, headbands and hats! My kids may go hungry but they will never go un-accessorized again! You can view their darling products online at LADY BUGS & LILACS and you really should!

Next we have the mastermind behing ROCK THESE BOWS, Tia Pendleton. Her stuff is so darling! My 12 year old is in love! Check her stuff out for a unique twist on the typical hair bow/flower, you won’t regret it!

and last, but certainly not least, we have Jennifer Mosley with MO’S BOWS, she has a HUGE (and I mean huge) variety of bows, flowers, hats, pettiskirts (aren’t the cheetah ones divine?) and car seat covers. I had the hardest time choosing my trade, but finally made some decisions (thank heavens for mesquitos or I would have lingered forever!)

Thanks to all that participated, it was a great time. I think next year I will do another trade party, it will probably be open ended then, so watch for that and work on your “skills”.
