Christmas Sessions Have Begun

Can you believe it's that time already? I did the first Christmas session this week. Little Ella is one of my favorite models. She is full of funny faces and she is just learning to talk so her favorite words are "hi" and "uh oh" Here are a few of my favorites from her session. Keep an eye on the blog for upcoming sessions. In studio Christmas sessions are $15 and spaces are limited so call now to book your appointment.

Back To Work

Just want to let everyone know I am back to work after the birth of my sweet little girl Isabella Ansley. She was born Sept 24 2008 at 11:33 p.m. weighing 6 lbs 4 ounces and measuring 18 inches long. Christmas is upon us so be thinking about those Christmas sessions. I will be posting details as soon as possible on Christmas backdrop choices.

Isabella at 29 Weeks

I finally got my scanner working so I could post a picture from my 3D Ultrasound a few weeks ago. The little stinker must be camera shy like her daddy because she already knows to hold her hands over her face during pictures. This is the only one we managed to get of her. We are going to try again in a week or so and maybe she will cooperate a little better then.

Special For Blog Readers

I am trying to revamp my website. I have been awful about keeping it updated with current pictures and I am going to try my best to do better. Right now I am looking for 2009 seniors. If you are a Senior and are interested in having me do your pictures, call now and schedule your appointment and I will waive the session fee for any Senior session scheduled in August. That is a $30 savings. All you have to do is give me permission to use them on my site. It doesn't matter which school you attend as long as you are a 2009 senior. Also if you are expecting and are intersted in Maternity pictures I will waive your session fee for those as well as long as you give me permission to use them on my site. They need to be made between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. Call now to schedule your appointment.

Counting Down The Days

Well I am now 30 weeks pregnant. I am getting very excited to have this baby in my arms instead of in my belly. She is due Oct 18th so hopefully by the time the leaves start changing I will be up to at least a couple of sessions, because it's my most favorite time of the years for pictures. I have already been looking at newborn pictures for weeks and I have so many ideas I can't wait to try with her. I plan to start Christmas sessions around the first or second weekend in November and I am already trying to come up with props and ideas to make them different so hopefully within the next month or so I will have some sort of idea locked in and I can post some pictures of my setups. I am hoping to do a formal setup this year as well as a more casual fun one, so I have lots of ideas going through my head for that. I am still booking sessions now. I am hoping to continue to do pictures up until just a few weeks before she is born so don't hesitate to call if you would like to schedule a session.

It's a Girl

Well as of last Saturday I am now 20 weeks pregnant. We found out on May 23 that we are having a girl and we are very excited. I have been busy shopping for crib bedding and of course every now and then I have to buy a cute outfit or something that I run across. My brother's girl friend was nice enough to paint her room yesterday but then we decided we wasn't too crazy about the colors so we plan to repaint part of the room this weekend. Anyways her name is Isabella and we can't wait to finally meet her.

Spring Is in Sight!

I was out of town last week and was so excited to come home and see how much the trees are blooming out and how much my flowers had grown. Today of course it is snowy and rainy and cold but at least we know spring is almost here. I have been pretty busy this weekend. I did the Monterey Youth Leaque Baseball pictures on Saturday morning and the "Miss Buttercup" pageant on Saturday afternoon. Things are starting to pick up since spring is right around the corner so if you need "last minute" senior portraits or anything be sure to call soon.

And on to the subject of the baby, things are going well with that too. I have been feeling a little yucky lately. Just when you think you are past the morning or in my case all day sickness, it comes back stronger than ever. So I am looking foward to feeling a little better. And hopefully just 5 more weeks until we find out pink or blue. We can't wait!!!
