Last week I posted a FREE giveaway on my facebook page for babies ranging from ages 6-9months. I was so pleased to see how excited you all were. And cute baby faces I did see!!! I filled all my spots with FIVE adorable girls… I couldn’t believe I had all girls- and it was so much fun playing dress up.

I thank all my moms – and adorable babies- that came to my ice rink studio lol. I really had a great time with you all and I can’t wait to see you again soon!  I am thinking cake smash!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh man… I had so much fun. I really can’t wait to do this again. Hopefully next time I’ll have some fun props to do to the mix

Meet my wonderful hair dresser!!! Isn’t she beautiful!??! And my new do- when I actually take it out of the pony tail holder- looks great!

We had a urban family session downtown Sandpoint just before WINTER came brrrrr

“Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile.”

I simply just ADORE this family!!! I really can not say enough wonderful things about them all.

Sadly, we haven’t seen each other in a while due to just life events, but I was super happy when she called me to do family photos. I couldn’t wait to see them all and play!

 

 

I would like to say that we all had a great time, but this little man… I don’t think he was too sure of me making silly noises and my camera. Although when the camera was down he would say my name- and that my friends is always nice to hear when a 2 year old just says your name so cute!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a sneak peek of our beautiful session at the BEAUTIFUL Talus Rock- if you have never stayed there, I HIGHLY recommend taking a weekend and treating yourself. I promise you will LOVE it out there

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A friend of mine recently got a cute new puppy.. and I had this FABULOUS idea that it would be fun to get some puppy photos of her. When we met up, I told her that I never had done this before but how hard can it be.. I mean I deal with kids all the time. As long as you keep their attention, make noises and offer treats here and there, things would be easy. Ummm. HELLO- MCFLY?!!! Where is my Dunce Cap! That was TOTALLY not the case.

I big BIG props to pet photographer.. in fact, I totally admire them! They make it seem so easy. I just kept telling myself, they MUST have more than 1 person help them to get those adorable  shot that they get. On a happier note, I have found something that I can study along with my normal oh-so-cute babies.

I enjoyed my time with this cute little pup and enjoyed all the loves and cuddles she gave me. She ALMOST made me want a pup of my own… ALMOST I say- then reality slapped me in the face LOL.

Here is a peek into our quick session!

See.. isn’t she so cute. Just a little cotton ball… that sheds and licks you LOL.. But she is incredibly lovable and loves to snuggle. Made my heart pidder patter!

I seriously thought this week wouldn’t end… ok and I feel like these next 2 weeks are never going to come and end either.. I guess that is what happens when you are watching the calendar and clock for D DAY! As of today I have 11 days left of carrying this baby in belly. I can not express enough to you how excited I am to just hold this little miracle. Time really can not come fast enough.

Friday was my last Sun Kissed Summer Mini Session… and I have to say, it was a lot of fun seeing everyone and capturing those cute images. I hope you are not bored with seeing more, because I have this one more session to share!!

I first met this little guy when he was just a newbie.. and NOW look at him- such a big- happy- boy. And his beautiful momma is expecting another one.. YAH!! I can’t wait to meet this little one she is growing. I am hoping it will be a girl!

Here is a sneak peek into our session~

Check out this watermelon. Talk about playing with your senses. Or at least it did mine. Completely opposite on the outside and the inside YELLOW. Every time I looked at it, my mouth watered thinking it tasted like something tropical like pineapple but no joke, it tasted JUST like a normal pink watermelon! I still can’t get over it

* J & R- thank you so much again for coming to see me. I truly enjoy you all and hope to be able to see you again once baby is born I hope the rest of the summer is nice to you!! And lil man C- Thank you so much for all the smiles you gave me. *

The last time I got to see this cute little one, was when he was a newborn! I am always amazed on how grown up kids look when I don’t see them for a while. You would think by now I would actually GET that they grow up lol.. but EVERY time I am just shocked!

I have to give you a little back story on this family- only because it just warms my heart. I first met this momma when she was engaged. She booked us to do her wedding a few years ago and it was the MOST emotionally sweet wedding. This couple was (and still are) so in love. It seriously just poured out of their pores! I prayed that their love would last a lifetime and be spread to other couples everywhere!

When they announced that they were expecting, it was only natural to do some fun maternity photos. I was so happy that this couple was going to have a baby!! I know too that their family couldn’t wait either to see this little one.

So when little C was born, we met up once again to do some newborn photos and created some pieces that were as beautiful as their love

Well, they are expecting again and I am so HAPPY that I get to once again capture this miracle from a family of 3 to a family of 4! Since I have not seen this little man in 15 months, we set up a day to do family photos and kick off the Sun Kissed Summer Mini Session idea. I had a lot of fun with them- like I always do!!

** S & J, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your life to capture your finest moments! I am so glad that I get to be a part of it!! **

I am so happy on the response I have received for the Sun Kissed Summer Mini Sessions. You all are eating up the watermelon photos I keep posting on Facebook.. LOL “eating up”… I made a funny!!!

Here is a sneak peek from yesterdays session.

One of my fave things about summer is how beautiful the sun can be in the evenings. If I could… I would lay in the grass and let the sun kiss my face as the sun sets behind our mountains. The evening sun, here in Sandpoint Idaho, has this beautiful glow to it. And as a photographer- its like GOLD. It can create some beautiful images.

Before I take my final leave of maternity leave, I wanted to offer something fun for all my wonderful clients and fans.

Sun Kissed Summer~ Mini Session

I had put up a voting question last week to see what you would like to see.. Something to do with laundry or watermelon.. well for a while, it was all so very close… and I personally couldn’t make my mind up. So, I am offering you BOTH.

Mini sessions last about 15-30 min (that more depends on how slow this prego body of mine moves). Mini sessions are a lot of fun and it lets the kiddos have a burst of fun with no pressure to be “picture perfect”- not that I EVER expect that.

Either one of these fun sessions can be for boy or girl… So lets have some summer fun!!

There will be only 4 session spots available- first come.

8/16

8/19

8/21

8/29

Mini sessions are booked at $150 and includes your session and a disc of 5 digital images. You will be provided a link to view your images and pick your top fave 5!!

I hope you all are enjoying these last few weeks of summer. As for me…. I am counting down my days to D DAY!! It actually can’t come fast enough LOL- but I guess that is the life of a prego momma!!
