Upcoming Special!

Now that the crazy Christmas rush is winding down, I can start thinking into the new year.

As the next few months will still be pretty frigid, I am offering in-studio mini-sessions for 6-12 month olds, at half price, beginning January 5th. 2009.

Included are 10-12 proofs of your baby, along with clothing changes if desired. If you have special needs or have a unique idea, I can work with that.

Special applies to 6-12 month old babies only, in-studio, and does not include family or sibling shots.

Call or email for further information or to schedule your session!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Miss P. made it over again, and as usual...did outstanding!

Here's just one; I'll post more later.

To all my families who had to postpone sessions due to illness....you're all in my thoughts, and I hope everyone is back up soon and feeling well enough to stuff themselves for Thanksgiving.

For everyone else lucky enough to feel healthy at this time of year, Have a safe and restful Thanksgiving!!

Newborn

One of my very favorite subjects to photograph...newborns!

Usually sleepy, squishy little bundles with zero self-consciousness who have no problem going along with my many ideas!

Here's a recent precious little boy, born days before Halloween.

Beautiful Babies

Although these two were a little apprehensive about me ( like most little ones are about strangers), they couldn't hide just how beautiful they were!
Each had their own unique look, but it was obvious they were brother and sister. I think that is so cool!
We spent one of the last semi-warm mornings together..and here's a little preview.

End of Autumn shoots....

Its getting dark early now, and cold outside! This may well be the end of my outside shoots for the year before next Spring....and it was absolutely beautiful! This blue eyed boy had a lot of patience for me, and it the lighting was perfect.

Although I haven't shot in Royal Oak much lately, I think that I will have to keep it in mind for next year! It is unique, and beautiful, too.

Of course, such handsome boys make it easy.....here's a preview of the many, many images from this session!

Another Blog Special!

Any orders placed between now and October 31st will also receive a complimentary set of 8 wallets of your choice from your session. Just be sure to mention this post when ordering!

Happy (upcoming) Halloween!

Another Pretty Baby!

It seems that lately, babies are everywhere!

And, fortunately for me..I get to photograph the prettiest of them!

This little girl was so happy, and we were able to get sooo many nice images. This post doesn't even come close to representing all of them....but here is just a few!

Happy Little Girl

I have done a couple of sessions now with L., and she is always a delight! She has so much personality that shines through in her images.

Even though she was pretty tired while I was there, she was a trooper, and I ended up with so much.

Here she is!

THE SWARM!

Everything was set up for an unusually beautiful shoot...a gorgeous family, with two stunning little girls in dresses, even a sweet little pup. The park was stacked with autumn colored trees, and a river complete with bridge. There was only one drawback.....the MOSQUITOS. And I don't mean just a few...I mean, a swarm bad enough to turn someone into a human pin-cushion, chase-us-away-from-a-beautiful-setting bad. So, sadly, we had to rush across town to a more comfortable location.

Happily, this family couldn't photograph badly if they tried. So, here's a few from our rushed session..I hope the girls aren't still itchy!

Fall Color...here it comes!

With my last few sessions being non-model released, I decided to post a few of my own kids, in front of some beautiful ivy that is changing color in my own backyard. It is sooo rich and gorgeous, I wish I could find a wall full of it!

My oldest son, who plays travel hockey, also scored his first goal of the season...GO SAINTS!!!

Little cutie on a late-summer evening...

After all that rain...what a warm, golden day we finally had!
This energetic little beauty looked perfect in pink, which went well with the lush greens at the still summer-like War Memorial.
And look at those blonde curls....lucky girl!!!

Summer's Last Splash Special!

In an attempt to wrap up open summer files, clean up my hard drive, and get ready for the busy fall season, I am offering 15% off any total photo order!
This offer only applies to orders placed during the month of September. Please mention this posting at the time you place your order, as I am only offering it to blog readers....or anyone else who hears about it. :)
Enjoy the last days of Summer, and here's to a colorful Autumn!

A perfect evening for shooting.....

I spent a nice evening with this family and had a great time! Like me, they had two handsome boys, and a sweet little girl. The later it got, the more beautiful the light became. I really had a LOT of images, but here's a few!

Back to Business!

It was a long vacation..but now I'm back to work, and best of all....the kids are back to school!

Here's a few highlights...and soon I'll be posting sessions again, because I have a LOT on my calendar for this fall!

LONG week..ready for vacation!

Well, it seems I am a one-woman wrecking crew.

Last weekend I smashed one of my lenses...and then the next day I smashed my car.

I'll be leaving for vacation tomorrow and I think I need it!

Everyone was fine, except for the van, and that is fixable.

I'll be back and ready to go for September...hopefully with a lot better luck!

Happy holiday weekend to all!!!

All American Boy!

This a boy with enthusiasm!!

At 8 months, he zips along everywhere happy as can be, excited about everything. He's been a delightful subject since birth, and is quite handsome to boot.

It also seems he won't be a future picky eater....even daisies make a tasty treat to him!
