Blond cuties..

Last of the mini sneak peeks. This is big brother "A" and little bro "H". "A" was not camera shy at all though after 5 minutes he asked me "This is the last picture, right?" I guess it was a good thing it was a mini and not a full session or he really would have been disappointed:) A little candy corn bribery managed to get us to the end. Little bro was a little shy one though. Mom had told me ahead of time, so I was prepared. He would give me these little sideway glances and meek looks, too cute. Mom and Dad managed to get a few grins out of him, but he was a tough egg to crack, especially in only 15 minutes. Usually for a kiddo like that we will take 15-20 minutes with no camera just to make friends. However, time was not on our side for the minis. Not to worry though, Mom is already making plans to come and see me in the summer when all the fields are in bloom, so we will work on him next time. It is like I told Mom, that little shy face is who he is, so I love being able to capture that even if we are wanting big old belly laughs and smiles. Let me just say both these boys have the cutest hair. I have been dying to photograph "A's" awesome curls since the first time I met him, so I am glad I finally got the chance. Also, another big thank you to Dad again for packing up my entire car while I was talking to Mom about the print options! Such nice manners here in Tennesse, his mother would be proud ;) Here they are...

Is he the cutest or what???


Doesn't it look like he is totally trying to hold a smile in???


RESCHEDULE UPDATE: My one appt rescheduled for November 1st at 9 AM, so I will take one more appt for a Christmas mini at 9:30 AM. If you are interested, please contact me for details. Same pricing as the mini session event you can find in the archives.

Big J and Little J

The second family I had at the minis were the two "J's" and their parents. Big "J" was a total ham and little "J" is like a shy little pixie. I just wanted to put her in my pocket and take her home:) Her smiles were sweet and small just like her. Big "J" was just posing and making faces and really working it for me! They were a hoot and Mom and Dad were pretty fun too. I had no problem picking the first image to blog because it is soooo super sweet. Then I couldn't decide if I should do a family shot, and if I did individual kids then I had to do both, but decided since I only wanted to blog 2 per mini and I only had a few family shots to just do one and be happy! So, here is my favorite...

Vintage Baby

I had my Christmas mini sessions yesterday afternoon. My first appointment had to reschedule due to illness, so we started with 1 year old "E". I have had the pleasure of photographing her since she was still in Mom's belly, so always a special treat to get to see how my babies have grown. I last saw her about 6 months ago. The biggest change is of course she is bigger and she actually has some hair now :) One thing hasn't changed, her amazing blue eyes. She had a long day with her birthday party that morning, so she wasn't really into the whole photo shoot thing to start with. She was totally into snuggling with Mommy however. We did manage to get some adorable shots and I always love Mom and baby shots, so I was not complaining a bit. She was wearing a very cool vintage looking dress that made her look like a little Christmas doll. So here are the sneak peeks... Check back soon for peeks from my other 2 sessions.

Aren't her little hands the sweetest thing ever???


A little smile from my sleepy friend...


NOTE: Since I had one of my minis cancel, I will have to reschedule them in a week or two. SO, if anyone missed out on this round and still wants a chance to get a mini session done, contact me and I will let you know when we reschedule. I will only take 1-2 families, so don't wait if you want in!

Sassy, spunky "S"

I had the pleasure of meeting 3 year old "S" this evening for a field session. The weather was great, so I was thrilled. Little "S" was so hilarious and kept me entertained the entire session. She is adorably cute with an equally adorable personality. She was full of silly faces and lots of fun. I was so excited to see the pics I had to get them downloaded and start working on them right away. So, here she is in all her cuteness... As a matter of fact I am posting 4 peeks instead of 3 just b/c there are soooo many great ones :)

One of my immediate favorites...


Pretty smile...


Oh how I love this kissy face...

When: October 24th- starting at 3 PM- ONLY ONE SPACE STILL AVAILABLE
Where: An outdoor location in the Mount Juliet Area-participants have been notified of my selection. I will have a bench or loveseat and some simple decorations (removable if you don't want them) for a clean, modern alternative to posing in front of a Christmas tree, etc. Also I will just have nature available if you want a simple outdoorsy feel.
Cost: $50.00 with one 8x10 included ($20 value)- minimum $50 print/card purchase per session. The session will need to be paid for prior to the session to hold your place.
Who: Open to anyone, "grow with me" babies are welcome- ONLY ONE SPACE REMAINING... You don't have to have children to participate, sorry no pets. (** I am having a mini session event at a veterinary hospital in November if you want studio setting portraits of your 4 legged friends**- contact me for details)
The cards: I am offering 2 sided, full color press printed cards printed on watercolor paper. These will be stylish 5x5 square cards. These are all my original designs, exclusively for my clients. My catalog currently has over 60 designs to choose from. These cards are gorgeous! See a few samples below. I will also bring samples to the event. They will include one or more pictures on the front and back (pending design) and the greetings will be customizable. Envelopes are included and they come in packs of 24. One set will cost $55.00, two or more sets will be $50.00 each. I will send you the username and password to the Christmas Card gallery once the session fee is paid.
Other card options: If you prefer to print your own cards, you may purchase up to 2 digital files with full reprint rights for $100 each. Resolution will be lowered to prevent printing over a 5x7 size. I am also offering a large quantity 4x6 discount for those of you who like to make your cards or just include a photo in your cards. These will be printed on professional grade photo paper and come in a lustre finish. A set of 25 (all same image) will be $90 or a set of 50 will be $130 ( a custom quote can be prepared if you need a different quantity). 4x6 prints are regularly priced at $12.00 each, so this is a substantial savings.

I wish I could photograph products as well as I do people, b/c these pics don't do these cards justice:) These are just a few of the over 65 designs I have available.

Missing sneak peeks??? I had two reschedules one last week and one this week, so you will have to hang tight until next week to see more of my adorable clients:)

2 Handsome Little Men...

I got to meet up with 6 month old "D" and his big bro yesterday morning. We had an awesome cloudy day, so the light was delicious. Big brother "G" is one of my favorite clients b/c well he rocks. This is my third time to work with him and he has yet to disappoint, not even for a second. He totally digs getting his picture taken and will do anything I ask, so I am pretty crazy about him. Plus he is sweet as sugar and a cutie pie to boot. Baby "D" is pretty darn cute too with his rolly polly self. He was in a bit of a serious mood but Mom managed to get a few giggles out of him. Two handsome little guys, amazing light, and the colors at the park, awesome! I am totally loving the fall greens, so soft and muted. I had a good morning to say the least, so here they are...
P.S. this is the location I decided to use for the Christmas minis October 24th, so the people on my schedule this is what you can expect. I have a few slots remaining and will only fill them for about another week, so contact me if you want in. If you go to the blog archive to the right under September, scroll down and you will find all the details.

Are they little heartbreakers or what??


Smiles for Mommy...


Can you see why I totally heart him?

I am back up and running!

Thanks to my sick but bored husband he got my server back online quickly. So, I am once again complete. I have some pics to post from our vacation, but looking at the back log of sessions I have with 2 more sessions this week I would not look for them anytime soon. Perhaps I will post them as a Christmas present to you all during my Christmas break, sounds like a nice gift. Don't be shocked but these pictures will not be of children! I was trying a little nature photography up in Colorado. I discovered landscapes don't really do anything for me, but macro photography getting up close and personal with things is far more interesting. I love the colors and details of flowers and bark, etc. It was fun to do something a little different, but I will be glad to get back to my kiddos this week. I have a 6 month old and his big bro and a 7 month old baby girl this week. Plus, I got confirmation on one more newborn little girl coming to see me in November when she arrives, so I feel better I will get a newbie fix before the year is out. Check back for sneak peeks later this week!

My website is down...

I haven't been out of town 12 hours and my site went down. I host out of my house, so until I get back in a week I will not be able to deal with this. So, anyone with posted galleries I will extend them as needed to account for this problem. Anyone trying to access my site for general info etc. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have this corrected by next Wednesday. I am in the mountains with no cell or internet, so of course I am freaking out about being out of touch and now my website down. Sigh, vacation is supposed to be relaxing right??? Ha, ha I am sitting in a wal mart parking lot in town using my husbands cell phone to post this :) Thanks for your patience everyone!

UPDATE 10-7-09:
Well we made it home and got the cut cable line fixed but it appears my site is still down. It looks like there is a problem with my server and since this is so not my department, I have to wait for hubby to fix that issue for me. As luck would have it he is under the weather, so my website is not top priority at the moment. I am not sure how much longer it will be down, so hang in there. If anyone needs information about anything, etc. please feel free to call or email me. My website being down totally freaks me out, so lets hope it is a quick and easy fix!
