Jeannie & Todd September 5, 2009

Finally! I can post these! We did a secret "Bridal Shoot" with Jeannie about three weeks ago. These pictures were for a special book that Jeannie gave to Todd as a gift tonight. So, just in case Todd went out to my site, I couldn't post these, but now I can!! Yea! It was so awesome to see Todd's reaction to the book - Thank you Jeannie for allowing me to be there to capture it. The wedding today - ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! Great day, wonderful people - Jeannie and Todd are just the best and sweetest couple - their love for each other just radiates! I am downloading the wedding pictures now - I bet there are about 2000 that I will have to sort threw - can't wait to see them. This was a gorgeous outdoor location and the options were endless! Will post more later when I get threw some! But for now here is the beautiful bride...

Sweet Baby Lia

I got to meet Baby Lia today! Such a pretty little girl! How precious. She was baptized today and we took some quick shots of her in her dress and with her mommy & daddy. Will post more later, but just had to get a few up - isn't she just precious?!



For being off her schedule and all the stuff she had to do today, she really was a good baby - got fussy a few times, but mommy and daddy soothed her back to smiles.

andn grandpa or grandma were there there to help - I think she was eyeing grandpa in this picture.

Just beginning to process will have more to post later :)

Ray Family 2009 - Cubs fans? Ya think?

Jeremy & Maddie

Outdoor Fun

Abbie was loving life in front of the camera on Sunday! There aren't many pictures where she isn't smiling, because she wouldn't stop smiling! Not a bad thing, but most 12 year old kids I have to beg to smile. Not Abbie! She was a lot of fun.

Noah - 3 months already!

Quick look at Noah's 3 month pictures - I can't believe how fast he is growing! Here are a few straight outta the camera. Hope to have them edited and posted over the weekend.

Benjamin

What a sweet baby! Benji didn't know quite what to think at first, but give the kid some paint brushes and chair and I think he would be happy for hours. I'm not exactly sure what the paint brushes taste like (that's not really paint on them btw), but they seem to be a big hit with the kiddos. Still editing this shoot, but here are some works in progress.

Jackson - They grow so fast!

This little guy is already a year old! I remember doing his newborn pix when he was like 2 weeks old! I love seeing how they grow. He was such a good little boy for this shoot, happy and fun and ON THE GO! He was everywhere - had me working up a sweat!

Cousins - Lauren & Makenna

I took the girls shopping and we bought these beautiful dresses, they were so excited to dress up and do their hair! Here are a few SOC (straight off the camera) Think I'll do these in Black & White and they will look awesome.

Hi everyone! There are lots of changes in progress at Occasions! Photography and I wanted to send out a quick note to let you know about them! My husband is awesome and has done (and is doing) a great deal of work to help me with the changes - I'm so lucky to have him!

Just a quick list of some of the changes....

• My new home studio is almost ready to go – It’s bigger and brighter than the previous areas in my home. I'm still getting used to being able to NOT have to stand in the closet to get the whole shot! Be looking for an invitation to an open "studio" in August or September!
• An outside area at the studio, trees, flowers, etc. - you'll never know you're in my front yard - LOL!
• Many new props, backgrounds, and themes for family, babies, toddlers, and seniors.
• New website coming soon with updated galleries (see my blog for recent shoots).
• I’m officially blogging & twittering now or at least trying – follow me to keep updated on what and when things are happening.

Thanks to all for your business over the past years, you have all made this journey fun and exciting! I’m looking forward to creating more wonderful portraits with you in the future! Also remember, if you refer a client to me, you will receive a free print from a previous or future session!

Call and schedule your appointment today to update your family pictures, birthday pictures, senior pictures, maternity, whatever “Occasion” you have going on.
