Lots of pics to share. I need to do this more often!

In case you havent heard, Im going to have a Christmas special on 11/11/07. Im thinking of adding another day (the following Sunday, 11/18/07) so if you would like to have me take your Christmas card photo for $25, you get a free 5x7 and as many cards as you need for $1 each, let me know asap and I will consider adding that second day for sure. I just need enough interest before confirming. So, this is my idea. I want to have a winter wonderland of white, backdrop, bed, everything white except for kids in red pj's or sweaters. I will have brightly wrapped boxes to accessories but if you know my style, I like very minimal props so the focus is on the subject. Here's an idea - its just that though - things may change on the day of the shoot.

Simple and clean, that's what I like.

Okay...so next order of business. I finally got to one of Branden's football games and got some great photos. He loves the game but there was an injury to one of the boys and I just dont like to see that part. Next year he may try something different (he's interested in Lacrosse).

And here's a cool one - we might even make it into a poster.

Next I have the cutest pic. This pooch is such a doll. She was so well behaved. It made my job so easy!

Lastly, I was at the beach for a session last night (I think that's the last beach session for me this year..although I did one on December 27 last year so I shouldn't say that yet). I took this super cute shot of the kids, she's 10 months, he's 3.

That's it for me today. Im off to photograph a newborn this morning!! YEAH!! I'll update more as I still have four sessions ahead of me in the next few days!

Total Cuteness!!!

My friend Peg (another photographer) brought her son to me for some fun pics. I know your thinking - if your a photographer, why bring him to someone else - well..first of all, its so hard to photograph your own children and second, its really nice to see someone elses ideas. This little guy was so great! He did whatever we wanted him to do. I asked for smiles, goofy faces and serious ones and he was excellent! I think I might have to get this one printed BIG for studio!

Okay...so on another note....My sweet Marleigh is so funny. Her favorite song these days is "No more monkey's jumping on the bed". If you see her, ask her to sing it for you - its so cute - she has actions to go with it! I could listen to her all day knowing how quickly the time flies! She did just turn two a month ago and already that independence a two year old fights for has begun. She wants to do everything herself and its such a frustrating time. I guess that's why I enjoy the peaceful/cheery moments so much!

My Christmas Special has booked up! Im sorry if you missed it. I do have a mailing list for my specials so if you would like future notice, please be sure to send me an email with your interested in the mailing list noted in the subject line.

Have a great day!

What I like about fall....

Today I photographed my Uncle Dave for his business materials. My first professional!! I get to use him in my portfolio so here he is for you all to see!

I suggested removing the tie and jacket for a photo for his wife...I really like this casual style.

On my way home from our shoot, I stopped to take this photo. I love fall and this is why...along with the clean, cool smell in the air and apple crisp for a treat. Most of all I love wearing jeans and sweaters!

My friend Lisa....

Tonight I photographed my friend Lisa. She chose this pond near my studio as her location of choice and I think it was a great choice! She thinks I need a personal assistant with all I have going on these days. I appreciate that she notices I dont really sit home watching TV and eating bon-bons all day. I liked this photo best. If you want to see her entire album, its on my instaproofs site http://www.kellyroy.instaproofs.com/.
