It's 2011 and we're off and running...

Wow, it's a new year and I've already booked most of my weddings for the year! Not to worry though...I’m still looking to book 8 more weddings for this year - so come in and book your wedding before it's too late!

I'm so excited to have new brides and grooms! It's an exciting time for them, and I get to share in that, it's truly special!

I do want to thank all my brides and grooms from 2010, they never cease to amaze me. The caliber of the men and women I get to work with just surpass my expectations all the time. I loved working with all brides and grooms. They were all creative and unique - just fantastic models, which equaled fantastic pictures. From the bottom of my heart - Congratulations to all of you! Here are just a few of my brides and grooms....

I need your opinion!!!

Recently, I have had clients ask me about giving them a picture to post on their Facebook page, and I'm happy to do that. It fills me with joy that my clients love their pictures so much that they want to share them with their friends and family members on Facebook, but at the same time, I have no idea how to charge for that. So, I'm curious...how much do you think I should charge for a Facebook picture?

There's a lot of work, time, and effort to find a great location that goes into creating beautiful pictures. Many don't know that it often requires me to work upwards of 50-60 hours a week when i'm processing and retouching over 15-20 Christmas sessions, Senior sessions, weddings, engagements, and infant sessions. I can give a low resolution picture to my clients to post, but it takes away from the brillance of a photograph.

So, I ask you my Facebook friends and clients, what do you think? How much should I charge for a Facebook profile picture? For all who respond, I will send a complimentary Facebook photo of your choosing!

Tis the Season to be Thankful...

The holiday craziness is upon us...everywhere you go, you see the Christmas decorations going up. It's such a wonderful time to be thankful and reflect on all of the blessings in our lives. I have so much to be thankful for, my beautiful and supportive family, amazing friends, and all my wonderful clients. It's also a time to remember why we celebrate this season. If not for a gracious and caring God, blessings would be few and far between. I thank the Lord everyday for everything in my life - the good and the bad. Adversity strengthens us and blessings raise us up. Here is just a sample of all of the wonderful people I have been blessed to work with in my photography career - and to say i'm truly blessed is an understatement!

This is a short montage of some of my wonderful clients, and if your photos are not posted, it doesn't mean your not important to me. These photography shoots are just what's been keeping me busy in the last few weeks. I would love to post a photo of all my clients in this montage, but I might overload your system and Googles too, and we can't have that! :) Have a wonderful and blessed day...

Christmas Rush Is On...

10 families + 1 day of shooting = organized chaos! Here is just a sample of the Lenci, Robles, and Doss children. Smiles were easy to come by, finishing up processing the photos...not so much! More photos to come but probably in a about week. :)

Lots of times, parents seem out of sorts when it comes to getting their little ones to smile for the camera, and believe me when I tell ya - I KNOW how you feel. Here is my attempt to get our family's Christmas picture taken, and what started out as a great idea having our two Brittney Spaniels in the picture led to complete chaos! My husband's attempt to keep the dogs in place left him with grass stains all over his jeans. Thankfully Teri, a photographer I work with, was graciously patient! End result = no dogs, unhappy little one, and my hardest attempt to make him smile only that left me forgetting my smile. Oh well, I love this picture as it truly captures our family's personality to a tee!
