Happy 1st Birthday Niece

Well, her actual birthday isn't until January 1st, but we celebrated today. And she was the belle (or shall I say diva) of the ball. Her party dress was adorable and she thought so too. Just check out how she showed it off. What a little diva!! Can't believe it has been a year already!

Happy Birthday girl!!

Choo Choo Fun

I was playing around again. This was taken at the farm where we got our Christmas tree...he loved the wooden train they had, what little child wouldn't?!

Anyway, I thought this was too cute not to share. Enjoy!!

Santa is a movin and a groovin

And here is the proof! Actually, I was playing around with these great actions. If you you want to play around with them, check them out at http://www.phauntactions.com/blog/ . She has some awesome stuff.

Anyway, here is my version of Santa, thanks to my Dad's train set! Looks so vintage, huh?!

Merry Christmas!! Have a great Christmas morning!!

Christmas Cheer

Here is a little Christmas session I did this morning. I have only worked on a few images, but I couldn't wait to share!!

Well, here are the few images. Enjoy!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Enjoy the great big meal and the love of your family and friends!

I wanted to add an image, but it really doesn't have anything to do with Turkey Day, it is a Christmas photo! But it is what I am most thankful for...my gorgeous son!!

Enjoy!!

Playing with textures

I took a break from proofing pictures to play around with textures and borders. Here is one that I came up with. I am still new to doing this, so I have a lot to learn.

I think that it came out good. This is one of my fave photos. If you look at my first post you will see the image without texture. It does look better a little larger, so click it to see!

Good night and Enjoy!!

Beautiful Family

On Sunday I got to photograph a family in their gorgeous home!! The weather was not as good as we would have liked, however I think we got the most out of it! I have a few images to share. Tell me if you like them!!

Enjoy!!

The Boys

Today I got a new challenge! A family shot a little larger than I am used to! It was such a pleasure to get the photograph this family. They seemed to really enjoy themselves, as did I.

Christmas sessions with my niece

Today I had a session with another niece!! It turned out that my Sister-in-law purchased the matching dress to my son's outfit, all by coincidence!! They looked like an advertisement, it was so darn adorable!!

Well, enough talk. Here are the first few images that I cleaned!!

Enjoy!! Remember to click them to see it larger!!

Autumn Love

Hi all, Today I totally did something different. I photographed adults! It really is refreshing once in awhile to photograph subjects that understand and take direction. Not, that I would change from taking children's photographs ever... I just love that. Call it a great break!

Today, I had a couple that made it very easy for me to photograph. The colors are bursting here, which is so appropriate!! It was overcast and chilly, which actually works great with the Autumn colors.

Well, I promised a few photos. So, here they are!!! Enjoy!!!

My Niece

I have a few more photo's from the Christmas session with my niece on Saturday. Don't you just love those big brown eyes?? So gorgeous!!

Enjoy!!

Believe

This was just for fun, but I really fell in love with it! This is my son from our Saturday Christmas session. It looks better bigger, so click it and check it out!

It really gets me excited for Christmas! Enjoy!!
