Holiday Mini Sessions are COMING!!!

****BOOKED DATES/TIMES:   Sept 9th 5:45, 6:15
                                                 Nov 4th 4:00 

It seems so crazy that Fall is just around the corner... and that it is that time of year to start thinking about Holiday Cards!  I have already had a lot of inquiries about booking family shoots, so I thought "mini's" this year would be the best for everyone (me included!!!).   So, check out the dates and locations and book yours ASAP!!    I have a feeling these will go fast and once they are gone... they are GONE!   If your family consists of more than just you and your kiddos (i.e.  grandparents, etc....) please contact me and a full session can be scheduled.   I will not be doing any full sessions during the weekends, so if you have a special circumstance, let me know and we can nail down a weekday.   

A few more details.....

**Deposits are non-refundable for Holiday Mini Sessions, if you need to cancel, please give as much notice as possible and your deposit fee can be used for a future session (just not a mini session unless I have openings).  

** Due to the small time frames, it is CRUCIAL that you show up on time (plan for 5 to 10 minutes early).  I will have to be very prompt with these shoots.  So, if you are late, that is time away from your session.

** Contact me if you have questions regarding what to wear and/or if you have anything special that you want to incorporate (props, ideas welcome!!!)

** Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for your discs to be delivered

**Additional Holiday Cards can be purchased @ $30 for 25 cards double sided printed on card stock with envelopes.  

Here are a few examples of photos taken at the various locations......

Contact me with any further questions... and Merry Christmas... in July:)

Brooklynn turns ONE

This little cutie turned ONE just a week after our shoot....and what a sweet little girl.   It always amazes me how we can pull off a shoot with a toddler.   I say WE because it is a group effort!!   Mom & Dad and whoever else that may be walking by during the shoot will be trying to get these kiddos to smile and laugh.. and yes, there is crying!  I mean, would you want to be shoved into a wagon tied with balloons?  I didn't think so.     All in all...Brooklynn was a trooper...and so were her parents.
We had FUN!

Happiest Baby on the Block

I love when old friends ask me to take their family photographs.  It honestly makes my heart smile!   I have known Liza since I was a teenager, and now she is married with the cutest little girl ever!!  Liza and Phil are beautiful on the inside and out, and now they have Stella to carry on that spirit.    We had so much fun at this shoot!   I think Stella is the happiest baby I have EVER photographed!  Yep, I said it :)    Thanks H fam!

A Chilly Morning with the Kelly's

I love early morning shoots.. primarily because the light is so pretty, but also because the day is so fresh, the air smells good, and the kiddo's have plenty of energy!!!    Well, this particular morning it was COLD COLD COLD.  We were running, jumping, dancing, twirling, doing whatever we could to stay warm.   It paid off... this is one of my favorite families to shoot.  They are sweet, pretty, and up for anything.   Thanks Kelly's, always a pleasure.

H Family at the beach

This family was so much fun... when I found out 2 of the girls were identical twins, I was so excited!  Being that I have an identical twin, I was curious to see how they interacted, if they truly looked alike, and if I could tell them apart!!  I couldn't... Thank god "Sophie" had "Stripes" on...  that helped me, but when they changed?  I kept saying... Sophie, Charlotte, wait.... who are you again??    You know what makes them even luckier?   They have an older sister, Jane, that is so sweet...and might as well be their triplet.   The girls made my job easy...and well, their parents did too!  Thanks H Family!!

Blue Urban

3 boys;  5 and under with gorgeous blue eyes?  Watch out little ladies, these boys are super handsome with their sparkling blues and gorgeous smiles!  Their parents aren't so bad themselves... I guess good looking people breed good looking people?!?  Seems to be the way it works in this family.  We had a super fun morning up against a blue urban wall.  I think it showed off this families beauty perfectly.  Thanks Ritchie Fam.. you were and are always a pleasure!
