Energy!

I wish I could bottle the energy these kids have and keep it around for long tiring days! I get to photograph them every year around this time and every year we do a photo in the same chair, which they are just about outgrowing. Thanks for having me again this year and it was so fun to see the wall of photos getting more and more full :)

Mini Shoot - Big Collage!

Thanks so much to everyone who took part in the Mini Photo Session two weekends ago. It was a really fun day. Exhausting, but SO much fun to see 12 families on one day. Some new to me and some old friends and family. Thanks also to everyone who helped make the day run so smoothly. You girls can find yourselves immortalized forever in the collage too. Here is a little snippet of the day and some of my favorites.

At the Orchard

I got to take a little mini road trip out to Northfield and the Fireside Apple Orchard for a fun photo shoot with Harper. It was such a beautiful day and fun to get photos of Harper who I have been photographing since she was a newborn (and also photographed her parents wedding)! SO fun to see her run around and enjoy the apples. Once she got one in her hand it was hard to get her to set it down. I especially loved the last photos of the shoot where she was finally enjoying really biting into an apple.
Here are a few detail shots of the apple orchard on a perfect fall day! LOVE the sign. I wish I could also duplicate the smell of the apple mini-donuts...mmmm.....

Holiday Cards are here!

Honeybee & Peony had their mini-shoot at the studio today and it went wonderfully! Part of the day was the introduction of the holiday cards for 2008. They will be posted tomorrow, along with the order form and price list. Here is one sample of a new design for this year.

New Studio Space!

Leann now has a new studio space for photo shoots and meeting with clients. For those of you who want to do a shoot, but don't want to be outdoors or at your home, this is a great option! The Holiday Mini-Shoot session will also be taking place here this coming Sunday. Please note, you can click on any photos to see them larger. Thanks for the studio photos, Jessica!

Little Will

I cannot believe how fast a newborn turns into an adorable squishy little 6 month old. This is little Will who is the baby if great friends of mine. He was such a joy. Smiled pretty much the entire time, until he got sick of being in the bucket. These photos were taken at my new studio space.
