Jacobs Rep Cards

Jacob 2009

All finished with Jacobs pictures. He is a riot - the faces just crack me up.

The many faces of Jacob

Jacob is so cute and funny! I think I was laughing the entire time we were shooting. I can't wait to get through the pictures and count the number of different faces this kid has.
Here are a few to share....

Making Changes...for the better....

For those of you that have been to my home studio, you know my area is pretty small. It was functional, but small and cramped. Well, thanks to my wonderful husband, we have moved my studio into a bigger and better room in our home. The room doubles as our game room, so yes, there is a pool table in the room, however, it is on wheels and rolls right outta the way - my husband is a genious! This room has one brick wall, hardwood floors, and 2 hugh window seats. It may take me a little while to get it all how I want it, but we will get there.

We got the backdrops hung last night and I spent time tonight organizing and arranging things. I have a few more things to do, but I'm excited with the change. I had Lauren, my 4 year old pose for some pictures today to test out the space and lighting. There are windows on 3 of the 4 walls so my lighting struggles might just be over - Yea!!!

Here are some of Lauren's shots from today....

Seniors, Senior, Seniors!

It's really a cool thing for me to see my work in the hands and homes of others. This weeked I attened my first 2 open houses of five 2009 seniors. It was really nice to walk in and see my portraits framed and hung in their homes. That truly is a sense of satisfaction! How cool! Next week I have 3 more to attend also!

Great Friday Family Shoot

I am doing this couple's wedding in September. A year later than they planned, but after a lot of hard work and patience they are on track to have their wedding this fall.

Tonight they came over and brought their 2 boys and we had a great time doing family pictures as well as their engagement pictures. The boys were great! Patient and well behaved and funny!

As for Jeannie and Todd, they are such a great couple! I can't wait for their wedding, it's gonna be a beautiful day!

Here are a few shots from tonights shoot:

Pictures in the Park - Ray Family

The Ray Family Pictures are done! On-line web gallery (password protected) is up. Here are a few of the final shots.

Pictures in the Park

What a beautiful family! I first met this family in October of 2007. I was blown away by these two little ones. They were so easy to photograph and just adorable - Corbin wasn't even walking at the time. Since then I have taken their pictures a few times and seeing how they grow is awesome.

We have tried several times to set up family pictures, but timing just hasn't worked out, until Saturday. We finally did it - we got Dad in the pictures!

I have just done a quick pass thru but I think they are going to be great!
Here are a few that I have pulled out to share....

Los Angeles Trip

I am in Los Angeles for the week on Lilly business. It's been a busy week, but I got to go out today for awhile and do some sightseeing. Believe it or not I did not bring my "good" camera, I have a small point & shoot with me so forgive the quality of some of these. I am in Los Angeles for the week on Lilly business.
