Spring time sessions!

Hello all! I am so sorry I haven't kept up with the blog for my business. The past 6 months soooo much has happened. We sold our house and spent 6 months in a duplex and just in the past month have moved into a brand new home! We also have had multiple other unexpected life happenings which has left very little time for this little business.
HOWEVER, as life has kept a busy (but fairly predictable pace), I'd like to do a mini-session shoot for everyone who is interested!
I'm calling this my 1st annual Spring Mini-Shoot. On Saturday May 26th from 10-3 (I'll allot more time slots as needed) I will be offering 30 minute session for $60. During the 30 minutes we will walk around and take all sorts of pictures out by MSSU's little pond and red bridge. I will bring some props as necessary. I will then release all the pictures to you for your printing pleasure. :-)
If you'd like to reserve a block, please contact me and I'll put you in.

Open blocks:

10:00-10:30
10:30-11:00
11:00-11:30
11:30-12:00
12:00-12:30
12:30-1:00
1:00-1:30
1:30-2:00
2:00-2:30
2:30-3:00

I am looking forward to it!!!!

News Flash!

This is a very exciting time for my family and I as we approach the end of this month. As of now I am just under 37 weeks pregnant with our 2nd little girl, Amelia Louise. We are so thankful that this pregnancy has gone just as smoothly as the first one (with Averi Noel) with some minor bumps along the way. In the next few weeks as I wrap up my last minute sessions, I wanted you to be aware of some changes that will be occurring that will effect both new and current customers.

I booked my last session before Amelia gets here, however I will be taking a few sessions as time (and my tiredness) permits. These will be around late November/early December. Keep this in mind for Christmas photographs!

There is also a new/improved price list for 2010-2011 that goes into effect immediately. This includes all session packages, reproductive release, print prices, books, gallery wraps, accordian books, and other products. Please email me for an updated list.

All previous wedding customers: this year I trialed a new way of pricing by charging hourly for my services and having print packages/release separate. Currently (so far) 80% of the weddings I shot this year haven't ordered one print. This makes me so sad! I love your enthusiasm when you get to view your wedding photographs for the first time, but it's not fun that you don't get to keep them! Based on these high numbers it has been decided that I will re-do my wedding price list to prevent this from happening. If you have any suggestions how to improve this, please share! I'm open to all opinions!
So (to all of you who haven't ordered...you know who you are!)...I will agree to keep your pictures on my online gallery until you order, however, after the first of the year my new wedding prices will go into effect. Please, please, please order yourself a nice Christmas present....your wedding pictures!

During the first few weeks of Amelia's arrival we will be busy adjusting to having two little ones so please be patient with me. I will be happy to fill all new orders, but please allow a little extra wigggle room for me to design books and Christmas cards.
I will keep my laptop handy and will answer emails as promptly as possible.
Thank you allowing me to capture all your moments this year, it has been a real blessing for me!

Morgan is graduating!!

What a beautiful day for senior pictures...Morgan arrived with an array of clothing to pick from and was fully ready to be photographed. The session was easy...beautiful weather, beautiful Morgan! I have so many favorites I couldn't pick!

Garrison Family

We were all prepared for a cooler September day...instead we got a sweltering hot day! The Garrisons were troopers though....we brought towels and wipes to cool us off and got our session completed in about 90 minutes. Thank you, Megan, for allowing me to capture you, Travis, and your precious boys. And thank you for letting me torture you all!!

Hagensieker Wedding

KC and Michelle got married on a sweltering August day. This wedding was nothing short of lovely. They were very accomodating to my requests...taking pictures OUTSIDE. We all did a lot of sweating, but you can't tell in their beautiful photographs!!!

Ja'Kai

How can you not love this sweet boy's face? He just melted my heart the day I took his 9 month pictures!

Nave Wedding

A small modest wedding took place on July 17th at the Holiday Inn. CJ and Lia were extremely easy going and fun...the pictures that turned out are some of my favorites.

Here are my tops:
