How Busy Am I?

I'm sure you all can guess that the Holiday season is the busiest time of year for photographers.  Actually leading up to the holidays is really busy for me because the fall is high school senior season and the time of year I do my big preschool shoots as well.  I knew I have been busy.  My very full calendar tells me I have been busy - my sore butt from sitting at this computer WAY to long tells me I have been busy.  I guess I really didn't realize exactly HOW busy I had been until I looked at my image numbers for October.  The software that I use to transfer the images from the camera cards to my computer keeps a running tally how many images were downloaded in a given month.  I looked at October's number and had to pick my teeth off the floor -

3069  (!!!)

uh, yeah...no wonder I am tired and I have a feeling I'm going to be sitting here weeding through images till my eyeballs fall out of my head.

SO...with that said - November is completely full and I am not booking any new December appts at this time.  As I work through my workload, I will open up December session times so call me and get on my December list.  Note that December sessions will not have prints back in time for Christmas.  Better yet - Let's book something in January when all the crazy holiday stuff is behind us both!  Give me a call and you can be the first on my January calendar!  Parents with newborns - I always try to squeeze you in somewhere since newborns just can't wait so give me a call and I'll see what I can do!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Toddlers & Twos GALORE!

  Toddlers and two year olds make a portrait session...well...interesting to say the least and recently I had five of them come in all in the same week.  Yes, I lived through it but boy, was I wore out!  Here's a giant sneak peek of all the fun we had!

Kyler & Kaylee....

ah, yes the joys of toddlerhood - *smile!* 

 

  

Beautiful Fall Day with a Beautiful Senior

When Christen booked her location session for the last day in October (because that was all I had left) I was seriously doubting that we would even be able to go outside - the weather at the end of October is always so crappy.  Mother Nature held out for us though and the day was beautiful - chilly but a beautiful fall day.  There were even a few leaves still left on the trees.

 

ok, so you've seen me use this "pose" for alot of my seniors but there is something about this spot and the angle of the sun and the lights in their eyes....WOW!

(and you would never know that Christen was FREEZING when we were doing this series in her short sleeved shirt - LOL!)

  

  

  

 

Brand New

There is nothing more precious, more pure, or more new than a newborn just a few days old.  It took some time and patience to get Baby Morgan happily sleeping but once we did...well, the images speak for themselves.

 

  

  

  

  

  

 

*FUN*

Yep, it only takes one word to describe this family - FUN! Ella, Connor and Finn made my day with their smiles, stories and giggles.  Mom and Dad I hope these images make you smile.  (and I can't wait for you to see the rest!!!)

 

  

 

  

  

  

  

  

 

Boys X 3

There is nothing like three little boys (and a tag along friend who made great faces behind me to get everyone to smile) to get the studio hopping with energy.  Thanks guys for coming in and allowing me to update your family photo and catch these busy boys in action again!

 

 

  

  

  

 

Curly Sue

Well, her name isn't really Curly Sue but it easily could be with all those gorgeous curls!  Little Miss Alexus is now a year old and it was time for her last Milestones Baby session.  It has been really fun watching her grow this last year just as I did her big brother Max who I have also photographed since he was just a few weeks old.
