Visitors and Statcounter

I'm interested in seeing how many visits I get each day, and well, since you people don't leave comments, I had to round up a few widgets to do it for me. So, because I'll be tickled as a kid in a candy store when I reach milestones, I'm going to do a freebie each time I make it to 250, 500, 750 and 1000 hits. Each 1000 will have an even bigger contest/prize that day. So, lets see just how fast they add up. Oh, and leave me a love note every now and then too!

You might see a shadow behind me.

I am mentoring an old friend of mine for a while so you might see a side kick with me at your session. Rachael is still living in the dark ages, ahem, filmie, but I'm trying to convince her to go digital. I hope you got some great shots today Rachael! I'll do my grading later-- as soon as your film gets developed! Heehee, just teasing you!

Lainey-Lou

Whew, I'm exhausted! This little ball of energy gave me a run for my money today. Believe it or not, I love the challenge of getting the attention of a busy body so I had a great time today working with Miss Lainey. Check her out... Could a kid have more perfect hair, seriously? I hope you enjoy these few previews!







I've tried over and over to capture sunflare and I finally did it today. Not the best portrait in the world but I was really glad to capture the glow of the sun around her.

Some Changes

I have decided that until the Fall, I am not going to be accepting any more portrait parties through the Summer. I am definitely going to do the parties that are already scheduled so no worries there. I just want to focus more on custom sessions and more so than that, my family. I love parties! I get to meet so many new people and make so many new friends but they are also very time consuming. My family will always be most important to me and I need to take a little time off from parties to put them back first in my life.

I am completely booked through May at this time. If you would like to schedule a session during the summer, please contact me as soon as possible. I have limited availability through August.

I will open up my Fall calendar in July and will then begin accepting sessions for September through December. I will be only doing 2 parties a month during September-November so if you want to host a Fall party, get in touch with me in July. Full sessions will still be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays through November 21st. Sessions after that time will not be guaranteed for Christmas delivery.

I thank you for your continued support. I look forward to working with you!

When you really look around

you can really find neat things in the crummiest of places. I wanted something different for this session so we headed to downtown Birmingham to Morris Avenue. The brick paved streets are lined with gorgeous architecture, color and texture, and peanut shells too. The Peanut Depot is apparently a little Birmingham hidden treasure that's down there too. Mr. Too Rotten and far to used to the camera was hamming it up for me, or maybe it was because my dad was there with us. Regardless, I got some shots that are totally different from anything I have ever taken and I'm loving it. Because I love it so much, I'm going to offered 25% off or prints to the first person who books a new Urban Experience Session.

Wouldn't you know that the last picture I took is my very favorite and I missed the focus completely?? Arg...

Sweet Lily

I had the pleasure of meeting Lily and her parents at Botanical Gardens today. What a greay day for pictures. Spring has definately sprung there! I was beginning to think that Lily's mom and I share the same brain. On 4-5 different occasions we said/thought the exact same thing at the same time. It was a little bit bizzare but you know what they say, brilliant minds think alike. Lily will soon be big sister so this will be her last portait without her baby sister in the picture! I'm so glad that I could capture her for them. I hope you love these teasers! Have a great Easter guys!

It feels good...

to be back outdoors photographing again. I was a bit apprehensive having my first outdoor session of the year yesterday. I have been working indoors for so long and it felt great to be back outside again. The gardens were gorgeous. The weather was gorgeous. Miss Rylee is gorgeous. She was a bit timid at first, which is expected. Once she warmed up to me though, we had a great time! She is just too cute and sassy for words. I am in love with her gallery (that can be found on my website). I am rarely awed with 50 images from the same gallery but I absolutely love these. The tulips should be there until April 15th so if your thinking about a session, now is the time. Thanks for looking and until next time...
