Sneak Peek : Matt + Kids

Just a couple of Matt + family for now. It was cold and these guys were TROOPERS!

These kids were sweet and willing to go with my random ideas! I let them get out some crazy-creative energy and away we went!

I managed to take 941 pictures in just under an hour and have whittled it down to 430. Needless to say, I'm still digging through the pictures ...

Thanks Matt + Family!

A Delightful Day : Hadlei

We took a little trip on this gorgeous day. Our objective of the day was some strolling and window shopping! While I already have a few sweet souls crossed off my buying list, *my* wish list needed a jump start!

Hadlei was a very good little girl today and I'm sure Santa knows it!!

A Chilly Afternoon : Hadlei

Hadlei is either going to grow up loving the camera or running from it. If she's smart, she'll use a camera so she'll never have to be the subject again!! Here she is, doing what she does ... {no, not window peeking!} helping me practice!

P.S. Hey North Central Iowa: I'm heading your direction this upcoming week!

Back In The Saddle : Openings!!

Note: The flu bug is a good { read: quite terrible } way to detox the Halloween candy binge. I'm feeling MUCH better and hopefully that is behind me for the season. We'll see.

Our weather is spoiling us!! We've already had SO many park playdates so far this fall than anyone is allowed to have with the freedom of NO bulky coats! We're loving every minute!

Our phenomenal weather trend looks to continue next week. I have a couple of options available for appointments next week. If you're willing to work with me, I'll knock $15 off your session prices for babies/kids/families. I have some ideas that I'm wanting to whirl!

So here's what I have:

+ Monday, November 8 { 4:30 - 6 or 5:30 -7 with forecast 64 }

+ Wednesday, November 11 { 5:30 -7 }

Photo Opps This Week!

Since this is all new and I'm making up the rules as I go { ... well, kinda. I guess the Secretary of State, the IRS and the weather weigh in a smidge more on most of my rules. :~) }

I'm going to start offering "Photo Opps". Last-minute sessions that will be last minute, but discounted.

I have some innovative new session offerings still under wraps and am solidifying indoor studio space for winter snaps!! {{ I love the outdoor shots, but I can't wait for backdrops and rugs and more, more, more!! I'm very partial to the up, up, up close pics ~ so this should be GOOD!}}

Alright. The first Photo Opp is on this Thursday from 5-ish to 6:30. Brian has a meeting at 7pm, so I MUST wrap by 6:30!! { He doesn't know that I've conjured this whole idea up yet, so HE may end up being my Thursday evening appointment! :~) }

Who's In?

Sweet Elizabeth

{LoVe} Elizabeth. I'm a little bit biased, since she looks EXACTLY like her mother at this age! Elizabeth loved the camera and {obviously} the camera loves her!

Check out this sassy manicure thanks to Auntie Amanda!
