I had such a great time with beautiful Theresa. She knew what she wanted and was quite comfortable in front of the camera. I think we had a lot of fun together!
Miss J has the sweetest little face and the most amazing lips! She is also my great niece. : -) I’m not really old enough to have a great niece, but my husband is. haha
This is so important I had to blog about it. How do you see yourself when you look in the mirror? We are our own worst critics and it’s sad. Every woman has beauty, but we don’t usually see it in ourselves. I try to point things out to women as I’m having a conversation with them – things like how pretty their eyes are or smooth and creamy their skin is. We just don’t see it in ourselves and I used to think I was seeing something different in women because I’m a photographer and know what to look for, but now I think we are just all this way.
THIS is why I love to photograph women so much and plan to do it more often.
Can we all please make it a habit to compliment our women friends and our daughters and their friends a lot more often?! Of course it has to be geniune, but it’s more appreciated than we realize.
Watch this video, but grab a tissue first.
My sweet girl was helping out for the session.
We don’t really celebrate this holiday very much around here. I buy my kids some little treats since I don’t do that very often and I usually include my husband in this. I don’t need teddy bears holding hearts and chocolates from my husband to know he loves me since he shows me all the time!
This photo was taken last summer after photographing our niece’s wedding. It was hot and I was tired….and wow, I’m so pale! No wonder my vitamin D needs to be increased!
I’ve photographed Josh since he was a little boy. His mom came to me for portraits when I was still very new and working at another job full time. She loved the images so much that she had to come back 3 times to decide what she wanted! I don’t do the sales sessions like that anymore, but his mom became one of my best girlfriends and gave me the confidence to leave my job and work on my business full time. I was so excited when she asked me to photograph Josh for his senior portraits!
I’m now offering some really cool photo jewelry from Kotori. If you visit my website, you’ll see a catalog in the download section. Click HERE to find it.
You can order the jewelry from any past session with me or any future one. These will make a great Mother’s Day gift! I have the bangle bracelet (not shown here), with one image and I LOVE it!
This is a great new business I think you should know about. It’s called Flight 4 the Cure. A high school senior, Krista, recently started the company. Her website is here: WEBSITE. Please take the time to check out the site and to like her Facebook Page.
Here are some photos of the scarf I just bought from her. It’s SO warm and it’s my favorite color! I bought one for Shelby too so I’ll get some photos of that as well.
Krista is easy to work with and SO enthusiastic and excited about her business. She shared some of her plans with me and I was pretty excited! I love talking business and marketing so it was pretty cool to see she has plans and is taking the steps to get it done!
I loved her packaging and personal note. The note honestly meant so much to me that I saved it, but I gave the bag back to her because I know it’s a business expense. Couldn’t help myself lol.
My beautiful cousin is a high school senior in Michigan so I photographed her on a recent trip up there. She thought she looked like me in some of her photos and when I looked, I realized we have such similar eyes! I never noticed it before so it was pretty cool to see. A little freaky too!
I wanted to share our card from this past Christmas. I think it’s my favorite one so far!
Most of the photos are taken by me – except the ones of me and a few are from my husband’s point and shoot because I ran out of time and had to find some extra photos. We sure have a lot of kids! :)
