OK, I rarely ever "blog" about myself, usually personal pictures go on Facebook, BUT, this was Aidan's first day going to the duck pond and park with both mommy and daddy so it was a special day.  He saw and fed the ducks and we really enjoyed him. I was of course behind the camera the whole time.....AND I got to thinking....this is really the type of photography that I love.  It's basically called "lifestyle" photography and involves capturing those moments in a familes' life that are real, not staged or posed.  With that said, it gave me the idea for my SUMMER SPECIAL!   For a limit of 5 families this summer, in the months of July and August, I will be offering a Family Lifestyle Session.....it will include the session and 1o of your favorite images, retouched and yours in digital format. The cost will be $495 all inclusive...stay tuned to my website for more details.  If you email me now, you will be assured a spot, as I am limiting this offer to only 5 families!

The way that Aidan looks at his daddy sometimes just melts my heart.  We laughed so hard because he was just eating the bread instead of feeding the ducks.....it was his first time at any of this, but he caught on after a while!

Heather,  I'm so glad we finally got this session done! Your children were a joy to photograph, as was your whole family.  Here are a few of my favorites! Enjoy!

Pam,  somehow in record time, I have been able to get these posted.  I so enjoyed seeing you, Brooks, and of course, meeting Layne.  Do you think Brooks really would have gone home with me???? hee hee

I love the feet shot, it's too precious,  what a great idea you had!!

And your chair was perfect too!

Tammy and Erik....all I can say is "Wow", look at this girl!  That is the definition of "glowing".  What a joy to meet you and can't wait to see that little one in April.  Best of luck for a speedy and safe delivery!

Olivia, welcome little one!  Congratulations to Nicole and Nathan and big brother Jackson, all of whom I met this summer.  What a beautiful family you have made!

Teri,  These are my 3 favorite images of you for your headshots!  Your gallery is underway so look for it soon.  You guys need cool pics for the band by the way.....I guess you really are a rockstar!

Teri, you are a rock star!  You did so great today. I really enjoyed our shoot and I can't wait to show you the rest.  This one jumped out at me, but seriously, you have some really fun ones coming to ya!  

After adding storyboards to my product line last fall, they have become pretty popular.  This is one of my all time favorites.  I just thought this family was so adorable and the expression on Luke's face in the center image is priceless!

Last week I was asked to photograph an intimate dinner party at the Tree Steakhouse for Randy and his fiance Linda, who were announcing their wedding date of 10/10/09 to their families as a surprise!  It was a small, but very fun loving group of family and close friends.  By the end of the evening, I felt like one of them.  It was an honor to be there!
