So I’ve been missing again, sorry about that. I have some good news though. I’m finally cured from the never ending cough! Yeah! That’s very exciting news for me. Anyway, two more days until the new products are introduced. I’ll give you a sneak peak. I’m going to be offering very classy leather handbags with your photo on them. They actually look very sleek and not at all cheesy. I’m going to have to get one for myself next time I get a good shot of Nina, which is increasingly difficult these days! Last weekend I did a mini shoot of her just to get some funny expressions to use in a storyboard to send to her long distance grandparents who don’t see her often. Man, was she a little stinker! I didn’t really plan for it, so as a spur of the moment thing, I set up the backdrop and put her in her sweater. If her hair’s all messy, oh well. That’s what she looks like most of the time anyway! So, here I am trying to get some pictures of her and what does she do? Well, the same thing most 16 month olds would do. RUN AWAY! Over and over again. That’s ok, I have a game plan. I grabbed her stacking blocks and built a big tower right where I wanted her. What toddler can resist that? So here she comes, over to knock over my tower and there’s my chance – snap, snap snap. UH OH! Did you knock over my tower? As she giggles, I get more pictures, yippy! It’s amazing the things you think of when trying to get pictures of your kids. I have yet to take out the bubbles with Nina, I’ll have to save that trick for a special occasion…

Ok, back on topic. New products. I just found an excellent vendor for canvas wrap prints, so now I’m proud to offer canvas prints! I will be working on designing some sample storyboards and senior collages, and will have an entire website devoted to specialty items. Watch for the link!

Thank you for visiting! I love what I do, and am honored to share it with you! I've been a photographer for 12 years and am loving it! I started out working in studios where I gained experience while learning and developing my skills independently. I've taken various classes on a variety of photography related topics to enhance what I'd already learned from experience. I began working on location independently part time in 2001 with dreams to open my own studio down the road. After I became mom to my first daughter Nina in 2005, I decided to take another big step and go full time with my business. I'm so glad I did!
