Goodbye!

I still love photography, but as the kids have gotten older and life has gotten crazier, I am not able to devote the time to it as I have in the past. I still very occasionally do shoots for others – mostly to keep  up my skills – but those are few and far between. I’m going to leave this blog up for a record of my portfolio and for the off chance that I am able to pick it back up again. 

Goodbye for now! Thanks for visiting!

Growing like weeds

The twins just turned 1! Look how adorable they are with big sis. *love*

Remember them last year? How time flies!

Trash the dress, country style!

One of my good friends moved away this summer, but we hooked up for a trash-the-dress session before she left. If you haven’t heard of it, a trash-the-dress portrait session is just a bridal session held after the wedding, when you don’t have to worry about keeping the gown spotless. In Annie’s case, her session was held close to her 1 year anniversary!

This shot is probably my favorite that I’ve taken this year:

 

 

My beautiful cousins

We squeezed this session in right before my surgery, and though it was rushed, I was so happy with the results.

PS – Aren’t these girls gorgeous??

 

 

This was my first time attempting cheerleading action shots. Hard but fun!

Quick session with my own kids

My mother had issued a challenge: take a picture of both kids together, vertical orientation, in a blue/green color scheme to match the decor of her new house. Piece of cake, right? It only took a few hours at the mall, new toys, a bag of M&Ms, promises of McDonalds for dinner and mad photoshop skillz to make this happen.

 

(Aren’t they getting so big?? They both start preschool next week!)

I have to apologize…

I know there haven’t been updates on this blog for a very long time, and I’m sorry! I had major surgery in mid-July, and recovery kicked my behind for longer than I’d been planning on. Only recently have I been able to work on the sessions that I squeezed in right before surgery.

The good news is that lots of updates will be coming in the next few days, and I am starting to take a limited number of sessions for fall. Very limited, as my work schedule for my (real) job is very hectic for the forseeable future and I do like to occasionally see my family.

Thanks for your patience and watch for updates!
