ooohhh la la....

This is a real "teaser" picture...as I cannot show any more! ha! I had a secret boudoir session today with a client who wants to surprise her hubby for his 40th b-day! It was super sexy, classy, and FUN! But- the rest are for their eyes only. We don't want to ruin the surprise! But I can share that this lady is HOT!!

Look what I found!!

My husband and I were finally cleaning out our garage the other day and I found this oldie but goodie (OK, so maybe it is not such a goodie any more, but it was worth a laugh!) Check out this hot pink LeClic, circa 1980 something. And the film was disc- does anyone remember that?? It was my first camera---and I loved it. But don't worry, I have upgrade a bit since! ha! In fact, I got my new Nikon D300 last week!! yippee!!

Meet the E. Family!

Gabrielle was the lucky winner of a portrait session and framed wall folio after bidding on it at the Diamond Girls Gala auction! So she decided to make it a family event with her sisters, dad, and dad's girlfriend. I have to say, it was rather comical. Get 3 sisters together (there are 5 total!) and there are bound to be some laughs! Thanks for trusting me with your family portraits! Enjoy your "teaser" pics! And thanks again for supporting the Gala!

Brady is ONE!

Brady is ONE! I really feel like my business is coming full circle when I photograph one year olds after I photographed their mommies maternity, their birth, their newborn, and their 6 month sessions! What can I do to make time stand still? (beside take lots of pictures??!! ha!) Brady's mommmy is one of my best friends since I was 5- we went to elementary school, middle school, high school, and college together....and we were on the gymnastics team together growing up! I love seeing Amy's kids grow. Hugs and kisses to the B. family! xoxo
