The BIG Preview

Alright the preview is finally here...so these went up backwards so the last session I did is first and the first is last :) sorry. Also if you want to see a little more than what is here I have a few of yours up on the facebook fan page too....don't be hurt if you aren't up it just means I haven't quite made it through your editing. Scroll down to the very bottom of the blog to find the facebook link

Here is a wonderful family with two adorable boys! I am still working on the newborn pics (those take a little more careful editing) but I at least wanted to get some Christmas previews up for you....
So family #1





Then I had these two sweeties! We met at Bridgestreet and enjoyed all the wonderful Christmas decorations and even took a ride on the carousel...which jumping on a moving carousel and taking pictures while spinning around I learned can cause you to slightly lose some equalibrium....









Then there is this sweet baby girl who had the MOST facial expressions. Usually when editing I can go through and delete several that look very similiar...not a single picture was the same face....it made editing a lot more entertaining for me :)








This face just kills me....
"wat you lookin at?"








This family I had the privilage of taking the whole extended fam pics (at the end of this post) and then just this cute little section of the fam. Let me tell ya this mom has her hands full with three boys, but I have never recieve so many flowers during a photo shoot (never recieved any actually)...They just kept finding them somewhere and bringing them to me.....And I just died when she told me they had super man capes.....




























I got to do this sweet girl's pics when she came home to the US to stay last year so it was so great meeting up again and seeing how she had grown...we had so much fun...


gorgeous eyes...



And then the big extended family shoot...such a fun group and very into the improve/candid photos which I love







Hope you all enjoy...I'm trying to finish everyone's up and get them in the mail before the weekend there are a couple I may not get in till Monday but I am hurrying :)

The Newest edition...

I totally forgot to put these up sorry...here is your lil punkin


Welcome Lily Anne.....
Can you believe that gorgeous hair and sweet face? I just want to eat it up

Double the fun

Ok due to not having much space left on my blog ( I am in serious need of some updating and re-organizing) and also due to the fact that I had two family sessions with TONS of fun pics I just clumped everything into collages so you could see more pictures. Enjoy Schroder and Fields fams!

These sweet girls change so much everytime I get to do their pics and now they have a sweet new baby sister....(newborn pics will be posted soon)
Rosa turned TWO!
what a sweet big sister

She is now a big sister to two

This family was so much fun and their family pics may be in my new updated advertising....
This is how much I wear your kids out during a shoot.......jk they were an exception
LOVE this and I promise I did not even tell him to hold the football like that
Their newest edition




These are some of my top fav family pictures

gotta love fall





pretty sure it is impossible to get a bad picture of this gorgeous girl

and how cute is he?!

The things we do...

So I have had the priviledge of tagging along with this incredible photographer Amelia (http://www.mintandsage.com/) and after helping her with her holiday mini sessions last week and then the Promiseland school pictures this morning I started wondering if people truly understand what photographers do to get the pictures and images that you see and go awww that is so sweet.....Really what is happening is someone is jumping up and down yelling and clapping their hands, throwing something at the kid, explaining that "Blue Dog" needs to take a nap now and can't be in the picture or my new favorite..bribing with tic tacs. One of Amelia's clients had brought tic tacs for her kids and we found it to be the best bribing tactic (notice that tictac is tactic switched around). It is not huge and messy like a sucker and it doesn't make the kids cheeks look like a chipmonk chewing a huge wad of candy.
I came across these as I was editing and I normally don't include these but they just needed to be shown......
Sometimes my best assistant is a tiny little Dora...

And sometimes Elmo decides to stop by and help me out a little bit....
and sometimes you just have to resort to whatever you happen to have stuck in your camera case....

Fields and Schroders I am SOOO close to having your preview up!!!!!!
