Someone’s Turning 2!!

Last week I did pictures for this sweet girl’s baby brother and this week it was all about her!  She’s turning 2 next week.  I have known her since she was a little baby.  It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed already.  Her momma was one of the first people that let me do photos for her, when I was doing them for free.  And man, they were something else.  LOL  I’ve done pictures for her since, but I’m happy that she had faith in me after that first attempt….scary stuff!  This morning was so perfect!  The light was just perfect.  We were the only people around.  And it only took an hour!! Thank goodness because right at the hour mark, all of a sudden, there were about 25 people there with chairs, a preacher, and bagpipes.  A wedding was about to start any minute.  Woah, that was a quick setup!  Thanks guys again for letting me do pictures for you.  I love your family and I’m going to miss all of you when we move.  🙁  Happy birthday, sweet girl!!

1 Already?!

No, no, no!  How can it be?  How can he really be turning 1 already?!  Time sure does fly and that just makes me feel old!  So the very first child that I took pictures of other than Mya was Jaxon.  He was around a month old and I didn’t know what I was doing!  See here.  His momma wanted to use the same blue chair that we used when he was a newborn and that brought a tear to my eye.  If you know me at all, you know I’m one of THE most emotional people that ever lived:  Pisces sign, genes, who knows?  Now here he is a year later, cuter than ever!  He was so easy to work with.  He’s a happy boy, no doubt.  Poor thing, by the time we got around to the cake, he was shivering and just plain miserable.  But he ate some of his cake and when he was done, he let us know!  We made it all better by putting him in a warm bath with Mya….so cute!!  Happy birthday, sweet boy!  Now time, sloooow down!

Look Who’s 2!!

This evening I took pictures for a close friend and her family.  Her daughter is turning 2 at the end of the month.  She is the sweetest, most beautiful little girl.  And she is such a trooper!!  It was so cold at the park today and she laughed and smiled through chattering teeth.  Her parents are some of the first people that trusted me to take pictures for their family when I was doing photos for free.  I think I’ve come a long way since then.  😉  Looking back, I am embarrassed at the pictures I did for them before.  I hope these make up for those!  Thank you guys for freezing with me today!

Show It!

My session got rained out this morning 🙁 so I thought that this would be a good time to show some ways to show your pictures in your home.  I just ordered a ton of prints, canvases and mounted prints for our own house because we just didn’t have any family pictures up around the house.  I felt like it was such a shame.  I’m a photographer and I have great pictures stored on my computer of my Mya and none of them were hanging up!  So here are some examples of things you can do with your photos!  These you can order through ezprints.com right now or you can order these through me starting in January from your on-line gallery.

This is a canvas that I ordered for Mya’s room:

This is a side view.  It’s so cool because the picture is wrapped around the canvas.

This is a mounted print that I ordered for our entry:

This is a side view.  It’s very thin and you can order it ready to be hung.  It’s so easy and it looks great!

I also ordered one for our bathroom.  It’s a canvas of this picture, but the lighting in our bathroom is just awful so no actual picture of the canvas.

These are some more creative ways to showcase your photos.  I know that a lot of people are unaware that these even exist!  They, of course, cost more than prints on paper, but they look amazing in your home and can make a big impact, especially in large prints!

Newborn pictures coming tomorrow from this family.  I’m so excited!! So check back tomorrow for some good old fashion baby chub because he is one big boy!
