A Look Back at 2010

When I look back through these pictures, I smile and feel a sense of complete happiness at what I have accomplished in such a short time. When I set out to take my photography passion to the next level and create my own business in September I really didn't know what to expect. However once I launched my website, this blog, and a Facebook page emails began to arrive. Phone calls started. And soon, I was booking photo sessions. I was beyond thrilled. Giddy in fact. My dreams were becoming real. My love for photography took on a greater meaning for me.

And I have loved each and every photo session I did. Meeting with family and interacting with kids. Making them smile and laugh. Seeing beautiful family moments captured with my camera.

With 2011 upon my doorstep, I foresee even more photo opportunities. I am inspired. I have many plans and ideas. I am already booking photo sessions for 2011!

Thank you to all of my clients from this past year! Thank you for sharing your lives with me and my camera. For allowing me to create pictures you will love and treasure forever!

Happy New Year to everyone! Best wishes for an even greater year ahead! Hello 2011!

First Glimpse...Nick & Sarah

A surprise present for their mom and dad for Christmas. I have been keeping this photo session hush, hush for well over a month. A secret photo shoot! Then finally, Christmas day, word came their pictures were very much loved. And now I can finally share them with you! But first, a sneak peek from one of my many favorites from that day I met with this brother and sister. I loved being a part of their Christmas secret surprise!

What I Love ...Standouts

One of the greatest parts of being a photographer is ordering and receiving prints and to finally see them in print in an enlarged format makes my heart sing. It is very rewarding to see a 11x14 or 16x20 print of a family session. Even better to see my client's faces when I deliver their prints!

One of my favorite products I offer is called a Standout. With a 1 1/2 inch depth and any size available, they make a huge a statement anywhere you place them.

On a wall by itself or in a grouping with others. Set on a shelf, desk or mantel. Simple. Easy. Wonderful.They are ready to hang, no framing or hooks needed! They are designed with either a black or white edging and lightweight; perfect.

Each print has a Lustre coating applied to protect them from fading, fingerprints and to give a longer lifespan to each picture.

I have some of these in my own home and they really make a statement. Most certainly a favorite print product for me!

I Heart Faces ~ Pets!

I Heart Faces is having their weekly photo challenge and their theme this week is Pets! Being the animal lover I am, not to mention being married to a veterinarian, animals are one my favorite subjects. The cute pooch above is Charlie who is owned by one of the veterinarians who works for my husband. I love Charlie. Adorable as a puppy last year he has matured into such a handsome boy!

First Glimpse....The C family.

The day was cold. Very cold. We had our photo session times messed up. I was late because of this. My fault. I am human. We had a bit of time to capture some fun pictures. Just enough time for some really special family photos. Twin boys and their adorable little sister. Silly. Funny. Giggly.

Did I mention cold? But I loved it. I love my photographic life!
