Beckham is 1!

Have you had as much fun as I have watching this little guy through his first year? I just can't get enough of him. Our shoots have always worked out so well, and I have to say he is my best cheeser! Always has a smile in his pocket. This shoot was no different, and his cute mom went all out!

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot...

Happy Birthday Beckham!

Prom

I had the oportunity to take some pictures of my nephew before his Prom and I wanted to share my favorite one with you.

And they lived (danced) happily ever after...

Design

I had the opportunity to create a bridal shower invitation and had the BEST time bringing it to life! The theme of the shower is more vintage flowers and pink... pink... pink! I was so happy with how it turned out that I thought I would share it with all of you.

This is the front and the back

I have had such a great time designing cards, announcements, and now this invite that a part of me wants to totally go in that direction! I love creating! But then I remeber how much I LOVE taking pictures and I just couldn't give that up. SO... designing is going to stay in the backseat. But I will admit, I will jump at these kinds of chances to design! It was too much fun!

Family after my own heart...

Emily emailed me to set up a date to take pictures of her two little girls a while back. I was so excited, but super busy so we had to schedule it out a bit. The date of the shoot was fast approaching and I recieved a call from Emily saying her two little girls had been sick and she needed to reschedule. I totally understood. Ughh. Who likes to have their kids sick? No fun at all. So after talking a bit about tentative dates she decided she wanted to wait until her little one to arrive (she was expecting). I agreed and told her to call me when he arrived and we would schedule then.

We must have been on the same wave here because I got an email from her just a few days after I had my little bundle saying she was ready to schedule the shoot! I couldn't refuse her! Babies need to have their pictures done very fast after they are born if you can and after all of our other reschedules, I wanted to do these pictures! So we set a date and got them done!

This is a family after my own heart... as I mentioned above. Let me tell you a little about their set up. Emily has 2 little girls and 1 little baby boy. Her oldest girl turns 3 this month... that's right. She has 3 under 3! I LOVE this about her? Who else out there is as crazy as me? I, two have 3 very little ones, my oldest is not quite 3 1/2, so I have a little more time on her, but it can't make that much of a difference. The one thing I can say is that Emily totally has it pulled together! I, on the other hand, often don't. She was handling the three with ease. She made it look so easy, anyone would want to do it her way! I was glad I did, but wished I could pull it off like she does!

It was so great meeting you, Emily! Loved your little ones! Here is a sneak from our day...

It feels so great to be back! Stay tuned because I have more fun pictures to share from other shoots!

Little Cache

I wanted to share some pictures from my little man's newborn shoot. He was just 4 days old and was so fun to shoot! I had a blast posing him and forming him. He was a champ through the whole thing and am really seeing why they say the sooner the better for these little guys. He slept through it all without any fuss. It was great! Here are some of my favorites...

Where I've been... and will be

I have been out of the office the last week becuase this cute little bundle has just joined our family! What a fun reason to be out! I am not taking any appointments for the month of February but am scheduling for March. If you would like to set up a shoot send me an email or give me a call. I will get back to you when this little one isn't captivating all of my attention!

Sam

Love the name. Love the face. Love the smile! This little guy was a total champ! It was freezing and he just giggled his way through the cold. It was a dream shoot. I had a great time taking the pictures and editing them too! Thanks guys, I loved meeting you!

*I just wanted to mention again that if you have an appointment with me on Friday please give me a call to reschedule.*

Tyce

This little guy is so freakin' cute, I can't stand it! I have been dragging my feet a little about having our little bundle join the world, but when I was with this handsome little man I couldn't help but get excited! He was awesome! He slept, and slept, and slept! It couldn't have gone better and I could have kept snapping away for hours.

Thanks, Rach, for such a fun afternoon! I had a blast! Here is a little sneak of your special little guy...

Baby news & Scheduling Update

Yesterday Steve and I received some rather shocking information about the little man that we are getting ready to welcome into our family...

He is coming on the first week of February!

This is a full week earlier than I had thought even possible as my due date is the 15th. I can't tell you what a pinch this has put on our time left. I still have mountains of things that I need to get done before this little guy gets here and my time just got cut a week short. We'll make it work! I have to say that I am super excited to see this little guy so all the rescheduling will have to work!

This brings me to the reason for this post... I will not be taking any appointments for the month of February. I will be happy to schedule anything for March and will take those appointments as you call.

**Also, if we have a standing appointment and you have not talked to me in the last 24 hours, please call me about your appointment.

Neidig Family

I love this family. Not only because they are extremely photogenic, but because they are my great friends! I was so excited when Chris asked me to photograph her family while everyone was in town for Christmas. I got to see everyone that I usually only hear about.

Thanks guys, for putting up with the extreme cold temperatures and bright sunny morning! I had a blast and loved seeing you all!
