I’m adding a new product to my current list of goodies, and I’m so excited about this!  They are custom designed “storyboards” from your session.  For those of you who are wondering “what in the world is a storyboard,” then please read on!  It is basically a collage of images designed to tell a story or convey an idea above and beyond what can be done with a single image.  I’m currently offering them in the standard 10×20 size, although I may expand into other sizes if there is a demand.  They contain two to five images.  Here are some examples that I put together from my last children’s session.

***EDIT - I’ve just noticed that the white borders don’t show up due to the white background, but they are printed with a white border.  Check out the album on my Facebook Fan page  to see them with borders.  Kids Storyboard web

I finally finished the last (but certainly not least) of my little trio of newborn sessions – sweet baby Madeline.  She wasn’t so sure about this photo shoot at first, but after a little snack she was all smiles!  She may have the tiniest little bottom that I have ever seen, but unfortunately she really put her foot down when we tried for some naked shots.  I don’t think Mom and Dad will mind a girl with a little modesty that early on. :)   I have to give big time props to Mom too – you could have unleashed a team of professional stylists on me when I had a 10-day old baby, and there is no way I would have come away looking half as good as she does.  Way to go! :P

Here is a little preview of Baby Evelyn’s newborn session from a couple of weeks ago.  I know that Mom and Dad have been waiting very patiently, and I’m sorry for the delay!  Little Evelyn was soooo *tiny*, I even got to put her in my itty bitty basket!  As you can see from the big smile on her face, I think she really liked it.  :)   Mom and Dad were kind enough to let me use them (well, their hands) as props too, and we got some really sweet ones.  You’ll see what I mean …

This turned out to be a really fun session.  Mom wanted shots of the kids “in action”, and they certainly were! :)   We have known this family since there was only one little one, so it was extra special to photograph all three of them.  Dad and Grandpa joined in for some of the action too, but I’ll spare them the internet audience.  :)

Finally, here is a little sneak preview of sweet Baby Kennedy’s newborn session.  She’s only 11 days old here – what a cutie!  I got to try out my new pink hat on her too.  She certainly did it justice!

This is too cool – my website was chosen as a “favorite site” to be featured on the PhotoBiz website at http://blog.photobiz.com/bloggers-corner.  What an honor!  This is the company I used to create my website, and they have been totally awesome.  If there is anyone else out there looking to start a website geared toward photography or any other “visual” business, I highly recommend them! 

And I know I promised a preview, and it’s coming!  With 1 session last week, the holiday weekend, and three more sessions this week, I certainly have my hands full! :)

Welcome!

July 1, 2009

Welcome to my photography blog!  I plan on using this blog as a place to put “sneak peeks” from my sessions, information on specials and events that I will have from time to time (maybe even the opportunity to win something), updates to my website, and the occasional pictures from my personal life, probably of my most favorite subject, my daughter Emory.  :)   I hope that you might get to know me a little better through this slightly more informal format.  Thanks for stopping in and check back often – I should have some session previews starting next week!
