Meet Luke and Emily, two positively scrumptious little kiddos. I took their Christmas portraits last week and loved working with them, especially Emily. She's just getting at that golden age where she actually LIKES getting her picture taken! It's fun to work with a willing model. But let's not forget about little Luke...this kid was a crack up! You could tell he was going to give his sister a run for her money in the future!

Christmas Special...extended!

Well, I figured that since I don't even have my Christmas cards ready yet...I can't expect others to have thought that far ahead. :) As a result, I've extended my Christmas special until December 25th. Make sure to schedule an appointment today!

The Christmas Special:
The Holidays are just around the corner (believe it or not!) and it's time to think about getting that family portrait taken. I am offering a special which will run until December 1st that includes the following:

• Family sitting fee ($30.00 value)
• Holiday Card Photo Creation ($25.00 value)
• Portrait CD with all your images (including the Holiday Card Photo Creation) from the session yours to keep in jpeg format ($95.00 value)
• All for just…$120.00

That's a savings of $30.00! Please view the images below which are examples of my holiday cards. Be sure to contact Tammy to set up your appointment today (as November will fill up fast!).

*** this special includes one family sitting fee; individual children's sitting fees will be charged accordingly

A Christmas Cutie!

Okay, can I just admit it? As much as I love the Fall....I love Christmas. No, I looooooooooooooooooooooove Christmas. And shooting Christmas pictures of adorable little kiddos like this one makes the season even better! Allie is the niece of my best friend and I'm so glad that her parents brought her in. She hammed it up big time for me and we had a blast with our session. Check out how adorable she is:

And here she is looking comfy in a teacup...how cute is this?

What a beautiful little girl!

loving this!

Check this out...I open my in-box this morning to find this ridiculously sweet e-mail from a client who just received her engagement pictures from me yesterday evening. This just made my day!!

Hey

I absolutely positively adored the pictures. Dan did too!! i really really liked the ones that were not posed that were "different". My favorite one was the one with the song on it. I also liked that old looking one of us holding hands that looked antique. Loved, loved, loved!!!

How was your birthday? Hope it was good.

Thanks much, Ana

PS...I am so so so happy that we picked you because;
-you take different pictures
-you are younger
-you are really nice
-you "capture the moment"
-you are reasonably priced

Okay, so not only did she call me younger (the day after my 28th birthday...hurrah!) and say that I was nice, but she basically sent me a disertation on why Capturing Moments Photography rocks (complete with a bulleted list). Love this girl! Can't wait to shoot your wedding next year, Ana! :)

Take a look at how in love these two knuckleheads are.....

We were just about done with our session when we came across this old beat up truck. Even though it was a Ford, Dan and Ana jumped right on for a super fun shot!

The "antique" holding hand one that she was talking about

birthday fun

Today is my 28th birthday! I've had just the most relaxing, perfect day ever. My little girl snuggled with me after she woke up this morning, my 3 year old nephew sang happy birthday to me as he curled up on my lap, my husband sent me roses, my parents took me out to lunch, and I was able to catch up on some of my favorite photography websites during Mary's nap. I couldn't have asked for a better day!

who doesn't love the fall?

Okay, I admit it...I'm obsessed with fall. It is absolutely my favorite season! I love the colors, the weather, the leaves - and let's not forget about the caramel apples! Yum! Just as delicous as those apples are the beautiful fall pictures I've been grabbing lately. The first 3 are from different sessions I did and the last one is a collage of my own little girl, Mary, going nuts in the piles of leaves. Did I mention that I love fall? :)

My very first post!

Wow....new blog.

My very first post. I feel as though I should be searching for the PERFECT words...something profound, exciting, and alluring. Something to kick off this new blog and get it started on the right foot.

Gosh, now if I only knew what those words were. Hard to think of while my little munchkin is tugging at my pant leg asking for "milk" (make that demanding milk). Anyway, what to say in my first post?

Umm...."welcome"?

No...that doesn't do it.

How about "yeah...BLOG!"

No...certainly not that.

What if we just say...."I hope you like it".

Because I do.

Hope.

That you like it.

So....welcome. Yeah Blog!

(off to get some milk for the little one...be back soon).
