Why I live where I live...

Well, it's kind of a no brainer. :)

Realllllly can't wait for Spring colors & Summer weather... come on!! Anyway, this is something new I'm going to be doing on this blog, hopefully weekly I'll be posting a new reason "why I live where I live". I'm excited, I have some fun stuff in mind. :)

The cutest little cowgirl.

Stella's Nana got her some pink western boots and a sweet cowboy hat! She LOVES being a "cowboy" as she calls it! She's been super sick for quite awhile, but we're hopefully in the clear now! I think being a "cowboy" helps this little one feel a little better no matter how sicky she is.

I'm getting SUPER excited from Prom Minis THIS WEEKEND! Let's hope for good weather... ;)

MIA, but soon... back in action...

The last couple of weeks have been a ROLLER COASTER! So I am making huge apologies to anyone who's emails/phone calls/IM's have gone unanswered... I'm catching up as fast as I can! :)

We've been sick, my husband has started a new job, and then we had some little monkeys come visit us for a week!

My husband's sister (so... my sister-in-law) and her 2 kids came to visit from Washington state. It was so wonderful to have some time with my sister-in-law, but it was especially fun to watch my daughter Stella play with her cousins! She doesn't get to see them very often, so it was a real treat to have them here for a week!

It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks... but I promise there'll be some fun stuff on the blog ASAP!

My big girl...

I love all of these awesome blogs where photographers are posting their clients shoots as well as personal things about their own families, but I have the hardest time opening up in that way on this blog! I don't know why- I just feel really protective over my family. Mother Hen mode kicks in as soon as I begin uploading a post about the cute things Stella is doing, or how awesome my husband is, and I delete the post before it's been published. Besides, my life is incredibly boring for the most part! But, while I may never be as awesome as Tara Whitney or Jonathan Canlas or Sheye Rosemeyer or any of those other awesome photographers at posting personal work on this blog- I will continue to work harder at it. (I think I've promised this before?? haha)

Today, I quickly snapped these shots of Stella just as she woke up and walked into the living room to greet me for the day. It wasn't until after shooting that I realized my ISO was at about 4000! haha :) Love that grain!

And this is another one from this morning, I just think she's the cutest thing ever. :)

I'm challenging myself by using some of the other lenses in my arsenal a bit more. These were shot with my 28mm 2.8, wide open. I really do love that lens, I have no idea why I never use it. 

PROM MINI SESSIONS! | Sign up now, slots will fill up FAST!

Here's the best news you've heard all year... 

You don't have to get the traditional prom pictures!

There are only 8 of these awesome 30-minute time slots available on April 17th before prom,

slots are already filling up so book ASAP!

Individual, couple, or group sessions give you tons of options. Don't have a date, but want awesome prom pics? Go solo for an individual shoot- hey, you're getting all dressed up right?! Or better yet, get a huge group of friends together for a crazy group session.

And couples, guess what? No "prom poses" here. Each session will be unique, you'll have a dozen photos to choose from, and you'll have no lines to wait in for your photos! Sessions will take place downtown and will have an urban vibe. We'll get a variety of posed and candid pics for you to choose from. Plus, you can order a variety of poses to fill your print package, and you can add as many additional prints as you'd like with the purchase of any print package.
