It was fun to see some of my work in print the other day. This image was taken last year one evening on the University of Minnesota campus. We had only a couple of minutes of light left that evening to take a few images. Part of this image was taken 20 minutes before the choir showed up. I'm so glad I took that one image, because I needed it and it turned out beautifully.

If you have time on April 30, May 1 or May 8 you should take the time to see this choir. They work so hard and the experience is like listening to angels. The April 30 performance is free.

Hi everyone! I am excited to share the news that I will be beginning a new chapter in my life. My husband recently finished earning a Bachelor degree in Accounting and now it's my turn!
We are late bloomers :) but figure it is better late than never. Right?
I am going with the intent of earning a Bachelor degree in Special Education. I am very excited about this new adventure. But because I love photography and my clients so much I have decided to continue offering my photography services but on a very limited basis beginning in June 2010.
If you wish to hire me as your photographer please call as far in advance as possible so that I will be able to say "yes!" to your session.

Also today was the last day to get in on my Spring Special. Thanks to all of you who booked!

8 days left!

Just a reminder that I have a couple more openings for those wanting to take advantage of my Spring 20% off sale! Book within the next 8 days and receive 20% off your session and any prints you order from this session. Also, very rarely do I let discounts apply to Session Cd's but this time I am! Be sure to order it at the time of your session and also have your session fee waved! It's not often I offer a deal like this!

More Henry

I can't get enough of storyboards. I love having a collection of images in one 10x 20 inch print.



There's just something I love about using black backdrops that allows for no distractions and the color tones of my subjects to glow. Look how Mandy's eyes just sparkle!

Henry

On Friday I was thrilled to meet Olivia's 14 day old little brother Henry. Olivia was one of my last sessions last fall before going on vacation, in case you recognize her cute little face.
I can tell that Henry is going to have no shortage of hands to take care of him, his big sister is already practicing patting his back, giving him cuddles and she's working on her reading so she can read to him someday.
Congratulations John, Mandy and Olivia on your beautiful addition! I hope you enjoy this sneak peek!



Mommy's Hands



Daddy's Hands



This was taken towards the end of the session. Henry had struggled to stay awake the whole time, finally he tuckered out and curled up around the spotted cow.





I just loved this one! While Mandy and Henry took a feeding break Olivia read her book to her "baby". I love seeing this family's love manifested in their child's actions.

Ta-Da!!!!

The moment I saw these I knew I had to offer you them.

"What is it?", you ask? "It comes in a package of 3!" I tell you.

Well, actually I wouldn't ignore your question but I might be so excited about these that I can't wait to tell you about it.

These 3 inch square brag accordian books are an adorable way to display 8 of your favorite images from your session with me and they are so small you can easily carry them in your purse or briefcase.

Cover options include black, brown, and red "leathers"; black, tan, and chocolate fabrics; or a personalized custom photo cover. The covers are magnetized so if you have multiple books they stick together, and get this-

They stuck to the fridge for me!

These make great gifts for the extended family and are affordable enough you can keep one for yourself!

$40 per set of 3 books.
Personalized custom photo cover $10 extra per set.
Must purchase 3 identical books.

So Excited!

I am so excited about a new product I am going to be offering! It's a big secret for a couple of days here while I wait for my studio sample to arrive so I can take pictures of it and tell you all about it! I just can't wait!!!
Check back soon, as the professional lab I use is so super quick and I'll have my sample in my hands and on my website in a very short time!

Seniors!

Now is the time for 2010 Seniors to make sure they have prints for their graduation announcements and also 2011 Seniors to get their sessions booked!
