Welcome Luke!

What a small world! Krista contacted me out of the blue to photograph her newborn, Luke, this past Monday. When I arrived at her home, we both instantly felt we knew each other. We discovered that we had met back in 2003, when I worked at the Children's Center for the Visually Impaired. I was a TA for a preschool class and Krista was doing her student work in occupational therapy. Who knew?!
Luke's older brother, Ben, was such a flirt...I couldn't help getting a few shots of him as well.

Luke is so adorable and was so calm through most of the session...he especially loved to be wrapped in his fuzzy blanket...who wouldn't?!

This was such a fun little session. I enjoy going on location, and especially into my clients homes. I feel they are much more relaxed and it makes for great images. Unfortunately, I had to head out of town right after this session for a funeral. I am hoping to get all of the images posted by the end of this weekend.

White Christmas:: Minnesota

I finally found some time to post a few images from our trip to Minnesota. As soon as we got back in town I had tons of work waiting for me...finally I am caught up! When we arrived in Minnesota, we were greeted with about 4-5 inches of snow; with more snow the next day. Christmas day dumped a lot more on us...leaving snow totals around 12 inches! Wednesday was the perfect day to be outside, so Paul and I decided to go out and play.

We found a great little spot in a grove of pine trees....it would make the perfect hideout or fort for any child with a great imagination! It was in this same spot that we found where several deer had been sleeping.

There was a ton of snow, but not the kind needed for sledding...below was my feeble attempt at it.
My sister-in-law has begun crocheting...she looked so adorable all bundled up on the couch with her yarn and needles!

I love the holidays, but am glad to be done with traveling! I am now looking forward to new bookings for 2008 and designing some wedding albums for my brides from last year. There have been a few updates to my website and more to come. I want to thank all of you who supported me last year and made it a successful one! God Bless!
