Christmas cards!

Christmas cards are here! I have some really fun new designs for this year (and some of the ones from last year too). For pricing and more information please see my website.

A really sweet baby

Meet my newest "Baby Expressions" girl! We're off to a great start - she is 3 months old and she is SO darling. She was happy, didn't mind sitting in various tubs and chests, liked being on her tummy, and best of all were her smiles! Sometimes 3 month olds can be a little tricky to coax into their big smiles, but she was perfect!

There are lots more - this is just a preview for her mom & dad. Thanks so much for coming - it was great to meet you!








She was really good at standing up, especially being so young!

A special day

My daughter on her baptism day... what a special occasion for her & our family!

Motherhood

Here is one of my favorite friends. She's expecting her fourth baby & has had a tough pregnancy. But you'd never know it to look at her, would you??? She looks beautiful, and her children are so excited and darling! I'm so happy she wanted maternity portraits - I love these! And I'm really excited - she only has a couple of weeks left! (I'm sure I'm not nearly as excited as she is...)

Winner - my summer promotion!

Time to announce my winner! This little guy was so much fun - he moved fast, but his smile was gorgeous, and look at his eyes! Happy personalities like his are always such a pleasure to work with. I originally blogged his session here.

So his mom will receive a 16x20 enlargement with standout mounting. Enjoy!



I'll announce a promotion for fall in the next few days. Stay tuned, and thanks again for a great summer! It was busy and really fun - new friends and old, lots of great sessions, great locations, babies, families, extended families, toys, bubbles, and summer grass.

Summer collage

I know, I said I would post the large portrait winner's image today. But last night I made a collage of my summer in review, and it would be too sad to not give it a day on its own. So stay posted (or subscribe to my blog updates - see the top right sidebar) and I'll post the winner tomorrow.

Summer giveway - large wall portrait

Okay, August is over and so is my summer promotion. Thanks so much to all of you who booked sessions with me this summer! I was up 50% this year over last year, and really I was busy non-stop. I even wanted a break to tear down the horrible wallpaper border in my kitchen, and never got one (that's a good thing, I hate tearing down wallpaper borders).

Stay tuned - tomorrow I'll announce the winner of the drawing for the 16x20 standout. You can enter your email address at the top right of this page to subscribe to my blog page for updates.

Could it be this lovely family below?....



Just kidding, this is my family at our family reunion this summer, at the finale of the "bad hair contest". I didn't win, but I did get a great new facebook profile picture out of it.

I'll be announcing a giveaway for this fall coming right up. (As soon as we get our soccer game schedule! I wish they would give it to us farther in advance!) Stay tuned, or subscribe to see all of my updates.
