CLOTHING SUGGESTIONS:
Because the background for this session has a pattern to it, solid clothing is best. Also, it is good to choose clothing that is in the same color family as the back drop. For example, red, tan, creme, brown, black and soft pink (not bright pink). You will be happier with your images if you stay within this color palette. Stay away from greens, blues and yellows. Feel free to bring hats, scarves or other accessories that add to Valentine theme.

FREE GIFT from Julia - 8 Wallet Valentine's like this one below with a cute little valentine embellishment:

Sweetheart Sessions....

I am soooo excited to announce a little Valentine's special that I will be offering on January 27 and January 28th for 10am to 3pm each day!  Each session will be 30 minutes and 1 to 5 children may attend.  I will post ALL the details on Friday January 20th in the morning.

I am excited to announce one more thing. These sessions will include a frame from my new frame supplier The Organic Bloom. I am in love with these frames and think that they compliment any home decor.

Just Meredith...

Look who is seven months old and so pretty in purple!  Meredith's Mom has a picture of each of her four older children on her wall at home at 7 months old.  It was Meredith's turn in December and I was happy to help.  Thanks so much Ms. Meredith for visiting me again.

These little studio session are so fun. I have several backdrops available to compliment your child's outfit.   It is fun to add props and have a creative theme.  All the kids who have come to my in home studio have enjoyed their moment in the spotlight. As the cold and rain settles in for the season I will be offering more of these types of sessions.

I go hop, hop to the sweet shop...

This little ladie's nickname is Lollie. Therefore, I wanted to do something special for her two year old birthday pictures. We met at a candy store in Portland. But it wasn't just any candy store. The owneres have the place all decked out with candy decorations inside and out. It looks like a gingerbread house or something out of Hansel and Gretel! So much fun!

This type of session is a stylized session. We started with a theme in mind and found a location that matched. What is so fun about this type of session is that the sky is the limit and creative possibilites are endless.

I want to thank Lollie's Mom for being up for anything for Lollie's session and helping me scout out the perfect spot! It is always a pleasure to work with you Julie!

Heart Strings...

I have to admit that when I am working on preparing images for my clients I get a little emotional...I have teared up a few times.  I really enjoy taking pictures of kids....because they are cute and little and say really funny things.  However a family photo has an unmistakable value...it is a treasure.  Isn't my job cool...I give treasures!  Family photos really tug at my heart strings.  It is hard not to feel a bit emotional when I have these beautiful families staring back at me as I work.  It is even more emotional when I know them.  Sheesh!

Becky thanks so much!  You guys are the best!  I absolute am in love with these!!!

First time for everything...

When I spoke to Jennifer about booking a family session she said that this would be their first family photo. I was thrilled because we did something spectacular during her session. We created a snapshot of what her family looked like at this time....Three year old big sister Anna with her pretty long hair and almost sitting up, 6 month old Patrick with his darling smile! We learned that Daddy likes to turn Patrick upside down and he doesn't mind one bit! Oh and there was a first for me too, first couple climbing trees for a picture! Jennifer, you have a beautiful family and you made my day when you e-mailed me to see if I was available.  Enjoy...

So Nice...

to get together with this sweet family of four.  We chose the perfect spot and the perfect day to meet.  The weather was not only dry but it was warm!  I have known Jennifer since I was in college and she was in high school.  In fact, I was her cheerleading coach.  Fast forward to present, we have enjoyed serving on the board in our children's preschool.  She and her husband also own an establishment in town that has served my family many "hot eats and cool treats!" : )

I was so glad that she asked me to take her family pictures.  Jennifer, thanks for contacting me!  Tell Moose and Button that they did a fabulous job...oh and Jeremy too!

Home Sweet Home...

This is Joe. He is a senior this year. His Mom, Kari, contacted me about taking his senior pictures at the end of the summer. Our orginal appointment had to be rescheduled because Joe had an unfortunate experience getting his hair cut for his session. But we were able to reschedule and it all worked out perfectly. Kari wanted Joe's pictures to be taken at their home. Their home and property is at the top of a hill and is surounded by hay fields....so pretty. You know you are in a great place when you pull up and the American flag is flying and everyone greets you with a firm handshake. Kari thank you so much for asking me to this for your family and thank you so much for showing me around your home...I loved it! And Joe have a great football session and a fantastic senior year.
