mothers and daughters

I have been photographing a LOT of families lately.  As a photographer, I consider it a true responsibility to capture RELATIONSHIPS.  What better relationships are there than that of mother and daughter?  I have just one picture of myself with my mother when I was growing up.  It is just a snapshot with both of us smiling at the camera.  I wish that I had something that showed more of our relationship...that showed how much we love each other and how much we mean to each other.  When I photograph a family, I always consider what I wish I had with my own family. 

The {f} family

The pictures we took of this family were pretty great, but I was thrilled to get these fun, genuine shots of the kids. 

Canvases!

I am so happy to announce that I found a PROFESSIONAL canvas printer at an AFFORDABLE price!  10x10s start at just $40 (including shipping) and just LOOK at the quality!  I'm in love.  I keep moving mine from wall to wall and have decided that I now need a canvas on every wall!

Check out the amazing professional corners...

 ...and the finished back!

One of the main reasons why you want a professional canvas as opposed to doing it somewhere like Sam's Club or walmart is the durability factor.  These canvases are stretched tightly so they won't sag over time.  The inks are archival so they will last for decades without fading.  They come ready to hang so you don't have to add any hardware to the photo.  Delivering Canvases is one of my favorite things to do!  I love seeing my clients gasp when they see them.  They make such a beautiful addition to any home and I am more than happy to help you come up with a way to group them beautifully.

The M family

What a week!  I had a photo shoot every day this week.  Crazy!  This is a sweet family that I loved spending saturday morning with!

Families!

'Tis the season for family photos!  I had so much fun with this little family today.  I just love it when it is obvious that the children love each other and care for each other.  Isn't that what family is all about? 

Heather

My beautiful sister came to visit all the way from Oregon.  She just happens to be expecting and so we had to photograph her!  Isn't she radiant?!?  I just love her.  She is already such a good mom to her little boy and I adore him.  I just know that she'll love this little baby just as much.  Want to know a little secret?  We did this session with FIVE little kids 7 and under running all over the place and two of them desperately wanting their mommies!  My 6 month old was even attached to my body via my baby bjorn carrier.  We just worked quickly :)  

Glitzy glam

I am doing some product work for shopglitzyglam.com.  I'm really enjoying this!  It takes me forever, though, because I'm oohing and aaahing over all their products.  I got the paradise polka keychain and love it!  Here are a few of the pictures I've done.
