Have a Blessed Christmas!

Posted in Huntsville Photographer, Personal, Uncategorized No comments

Its Christmas Eve, and as I sit here reflecting on my life, I realize how very blessed I am.  I have a family I love, who loves me back.  We’re fortunate to be able to spend time together this Christmas and enjoy each other’s company.  We have family we can’t be with this year, and to them I send out our love and our hopes to see each other soon … but know that you are in our thoughts and hearts.

I’m taking some time off to spend with family, so any business-related emails or phone calls will be returned as of January 5th.

Merry Christmas and may you have a blessed New Year too!

A Precious Newborn – 12 Days Old

Posted in Huntsville Photographer show hide 2 comments

Remember this lovely mama?  I so enjoyed working with her and was so excited when she emailed me to say the baby was here!  Sweet Jaxon didn’t want to sleep most of the time, and when he did it was for short periods of time.  That’s ok, I’m patient … and I think these were more than worth the wait … how about you?

This is one of my favorites … sigh … so sweet. :)

They make such a sweet, beautiful family.

Is there anything sweeter than a daddy sharing a moment with his son?

Merry Christmas … I can’t imagine a better Christmas present.

A New Web Site Has Launched!

Posted in Huntsville Photographer, Huntsville Senior Photographer show hide 1 comment

At long last I have finally updated all of my galleries with more current work!!  I know, I know, I’m so bad.  I hadn’t updated galleries on my main site since oh, FEBRUARY!  I also have launched a brand new site with a whole new look and feel.  So be sure to pop over and take a look … and let me know what you think.  :)   And coming soon … a whole separate site for my hs senior work.

Another thing you’ll find on the new website … my 2009 a la carte pricing, effective with sessions booked January 1, 2009 and beyond.  Any sessions that were held prior to year-end are still eligible for 2008 pricing.  As a bonus, if you need any additional prints or products from an earlier session, I will honor 2008 pricing until February 15, 2009.  Merry Christmas. :)

Here’s a quick screen capture of the new site … to entice you over to take a look!

Bare Feet? or BEAR Feet?

Posted in Personal No comments

October and November are the busy season for most portrait photographers, and this year has kept me on my toes to say the least.  I’ve been so crazy-busy lately that I am way behind in blogging about my own munchkins.  And believe me, I’ve been hearing about it from my mom, my husband, and even my brother!!  I’m almost embarssed to admit this series of photos I took back in … um … JULY.  I am so far behind in editing my personal photos its just sad.

Anyway.  The story that goes along with these photos is too cute not to pass on.  Anna and I were getting ready to go somewhere or other one day, and I was hurrying her along to finish getting dressed.  She came in and our conversation went something like this:

Anna:  Mommy, can I wear my bare feet?

Me:  No, sweetie, you can’t go barefoot you have to wear shoes.

A few minutes later …

Anna:  Mommy, please can I wear my bare feet?

Me:  Anna, you have to wear shoes.  If you go barefoot you might step on something and hurt your foot.

Anna finally gets her shoes on, we do our errands, and I’ve forgotte all about the conversation.  Later we get home and she asks me:

Anna: Mommy, now can I wear my bare feet?

Me: Sure sweetie, you can take your shoes off and go barefoot now.

A few minutes later she comes running in with her BEAR SLIPPERS on …

Anna:  See my bear feet mommy?  I LOVE my bear feet!

And needless to say a photo was called for …

An Adorable Newborn: 18 days old (part 2)

Posted in Huntsville Photographer show hide 2 comments

We lucked out and had sunshine!  Well, at least more than we did with the first part of this little guy’s newborn session.  He still didn’t want to fall into a deep sleep for me, but we managed to get him sleepy enough to finish his pictures.

His mom was really hoping we could use my antique scale.

I got exactly five shots before he woke up crying.  But one was all I needed. ;)

A sweet mother & son moment, while trying to coax him back to sleep . . .

And a classic . . .

An Adorable Newborn: 13 days old

Posted in Huntsville Photographer show hide 1 comment

I am so going to be in trouble with my husband, if I keep doing newborn sessions.  This little sweetie from Sunday was too adorable and I just wanted to bundle him up and slip him out the door with me when I left.  I just have to keep repeating:  our family of four is complete … our family of four is complete … our family of four is complete …

This little guy’s mom and dad were so relaxed and easy going, especially for first time parents.  They took everything in stride.  Gotta love that. :)

We had some bleary overcast weather that kept us from getting much light, and this little peanut didn’t want to sleep despite some of my best tricks.  Still, he was sweet as can be!  We decided to call it a day and get a few more shots later this week.  Crossing my fingers for some sunshine!

Here’s a quick sneak peek … I’m pretty excited at what we did capture!

This is the one shot his mom and dad really wanted to get … its such a classic!

Look at that scrunched up face and those tiny fingers … sigh …

Once this little peanut was awake, he gave me a whole lot of this beautiful eye contact.  He was so alert!
