Before and After Wednesday

It's "Before and After Wednesday" on my photo site. A new thing I'm doing where I show before and after and HOW I did it. Thanks to Bobby Earle for the inspiration.

Stephanie

Huge photo post on my photography site of one of my closest friends. She wanted a photo shoot, from which we would also make a time-lapse video, to give to her mom and kids on mother's day. Sort of a something to always have to look back on, to show her as a well-rounded person. Mother, yes, but also daughter, photographer, friend, woman. We had such a blast shooting and the video, with music, came out awesome!

Water, water everywhere

A few fun reflection shots after a hard Spring rain. More on my photo site.

Hop over to my Baby Gallery and say hi to a brand new sweet little soul. Welcome Chloe!

Feb. 09 wrap-up

Also traveled a bit for a maternity shoot this weekend. Fun, adorable couple that I was honored to photograph. Photos on my website: Thanks Libby and Aaron!

Just be [you]

Just added this poster to my Etsy shop. Created with love for my oldest daughter who is heading off to college soon. I wanted to have a way to remind her that who she is is exactly who she is supposed to be. Loved how it came out and thought there were lots of people out there needing this reminder. This can be customized with any name you like, (my daughter's name in the sample is Shade), or only say "Just be," or "Just be you." Size for framing is 11"x14". Printed on either glossy or matte premium photo paper. Just be you on Etsy.

Jan. '09 monthly wrap-up

My 2-page wrap-up for January. Used this adorable little birdie background paper from the fab Gina Cabrera at Digital Design Essentials and a few other goodies from Designer Digitals, pretty much my go-to source for everything I don't want to take time to make myself.

I have a couple photo sessions this month that I'm really looking forward to. A maternity session with an ice hockey player, later her sweet new baby girl and another with a young, very high-risk mamma-to-be who wants nothing more than to hold her sweet baby. So touched to get to be part of this time for them.

Vintage Bingo cards to print

I made a couple more Valentines Day related goodies and have them up on Flickr. They're 5x7 and you can print them yourself or use them digitally. Personal use only.

(free) Valentines Day cards

I made a couple sets of Valentines Day cards for my kids with the request that they not be "too stupid" or "all lovey". I have them up at Flickr and you are free to download and use them for your own personal use (ie: you can't make money with them.They will, of course, SAVE you money though.) Two of the 8 are shown here.

Welcome 2009. Proceed to rocking!

December '08 wrap-up

A wee bit ahead of the game on this one. I know I'll be busy for the last week of the month and I had enough photos to sum the month up quite nicely so went ahead and did this now. It's been 16 months in a row I've done this project and probably the longest continuous running project I've ever done. Really love them, like mini time capsules we can reflect on later. My grand plan is to have each 5-year group bound into hardback books. Quite a ways off still, but I think I'll make it.
I hope everyone has their very favorite kind of holiday, leaving you refreshed and renewed to start 2009!

November '08 wrap-up

Is everyone ready for the holiday season? We did all our shopping on one day, this past Saturday, and it's nice to know there is no more running around needed. Of course, I say that and immediately remember I need stocking stuff...

We have a ton of snow right now and as pretty as it is, the valley looks so magical, I'll be glad when it's gone. Not so much fun as I remember when I was little. If I knew then what I know now, I would have made my home somewhere warm and with less seasonal extreme. DJ said it wouldn't be right, to not have snow (or cold) at Christmas, and while I agree with him now, if all we knew was warm Christmases, than they wouldn't seem odd, right? Any of you who live in warm climates, do you wish you had bigger seasonal weather changes?
