From the moment her feet hit the ground she is in her little world. She exits the room in one costume and typically wears it out by the end of the day. It may be a princess, tinkerbell or a favorite butterfly. She accesorizes from head to toe every detail of a little girls imagination. After that you can find her twirling away in the living room, belting out a little mermaid rendention from atop her bed, or sneaking up on her brother as spiderman. This little girl of mine is all girl, and i’m clueless where that came from. I played with Barbie but forget Ken doll. My Barbie’s boyfriend was GIJOE. Every day is truly an adventure with her and I wanted to capture it for my memory. This was her Haloween costume when she was 1 1/2. She turns 3 in May and i can’t believe how quickly she is growing…out of her costumes. Here’s my sweet little butterfly.

It was a lot of fun working with these two. Tyler was a ball full of energy and Ally was cool, calm, and collected. Having Autisim, Tyler would surprise us from one moment to the next with his personality. He loved to run, jump and hug on his sis. Ally was his strong tower. She knew how to hold him and let him go when she needed to. Never did she compain or pout that he took more of our attention and when it was her time she was ready to play. These two remind me of how important a sibling can be. Tyler may not fully appreciate the love of his sister now but I am convinced that she is a huge building block in his foundation. She is a sister who loves.

Wow – Some of you worked very hard to get your votes in. Pretty funny to watch the popularity…opps I mean photo contest from my end. What you may not realize is that I am able to see how many votes came from the same person. Really… too funny all the creative names people come up with. (you know who you are.) So I will now tally the votes and give you the results tomorrow afternoon. I will be counting votes as one vote per person (only fair). Best story was about the UPS guy who was invited in just to vote. Your all too funny. Love it!

The first ever photo contest! A few weeks ago I held my first client workshop. It was an information packed day with the intent of teaching them how to get off AUTO. The challenge afterwards was to take the new information they learned and put it to use. Some of them have stepped up to the challenge and entered their favorite photo into this photo contest. The prize? 1 Sitting fee ($100 value). Now it’s your turn to vote. The only rules were that they take the picture and leave it untouched. Here are some of the things that they learned about to help you vote. Depth of Field, lighting, aperture, shuutter speed, and composition. Remember these are all moms who are learning to create the light when they need it or capture the light where it is. Please leave your vote. Voting will end in 1 week ( 3-3).
A big thanks to my two little models and their amazing Momma for all your help. (Picture of them below)
Let the Voting Begin!

When I photograph little kids I usually will ask them this question and I get all kinds of responses. It’s fun to see them figure out how to tell me with their fingers. I think “3″ is the hardest! He is 3.
Coming soon Workshop Photo Contest!

I got a great idea from one of my clients. We did this shoot before her birthday so that she could have the guests sign the signature board at her birthday. This is done at weddings but I have never seen it done for birthdays.CLEVER! Thought I would share the idea.
Here are some more from that shoot. Super cute kiddos!

How do you know when you are done? Having kids that is. Some people would never stop untill their bodies were done. Some people know without a shadow of a doubt that a certain number is all they can handle. This amazing family has 4 under 4. It was amazing to hear mom talk about knowing this was her last due to medical reasons. I believe her when she says she would have loved more. I have had the privledge of getting to know this adorable little family and it’s not an understatement when I say, “They make it look easy.” Being with them makes me think I could have more. This has been a constant prayer for the last three years of ours. Do we try one more time? Are we content with the two amazing kids we have? Everytime I commit myself to really praying about it and seeking an answer our life gets crazy. Well, be careful what you pray for… I was praying last week asking God to let me know in some way if we were meant to have a third, or if what I have now is all I can handle. My answer for the time being came in a funny way but I’ll take the hint. My husband broke his ankle last night. 8-12 weeks before he can walk. So be careful what you pray for, you may just get a direct answer!
Workshop Update – there are a couple more spots if anyone else is interested in coming this saturday. Email me if you would like to come.

These two little cuties came to meet me in a little town with population of 30. The Sun peeked out half way through the shoot and helped warm them up … a little. January is a hard time for outdoor shots when you want them in cute little outfits. Layers, beanies and scarfs always look good in the cold weather. That little outfit won’t look good if there isn’t a great smile to go with it.
Update on the CMP Client workshop. Last day to send in your money is the feb 2nd. Many of you have signed up but hav not payed yet. Remider that your spot is only reserved once payment is recieved. I can’t wait to hang out with you guys and spend some time behind the lens. I have some child models coming and we have some great prizes to give away including a sitting fee! If you need a little extra justification to come…ask for it as your valentines gift. Way better then a card and some chocolate!
