Baby Kenzie

I just love Sleeping babies! Meet baby kenzie. This little jewel was awake and happy the whole shoot but we wore her out and she finally fell asleep as I was packing up to leave. I always hear the parents say, " This is so weird they usually sleep all the time, I don't know what's going on?" Well let me just say when the photographer shows up...nothing is normal. That's the fun part of my job, trying to get my subject to relax and be themselves regardless of the massive lens stuck in their face. Hence why I have some quirky things I do with the little ones. Baby Kenzie was a doll and so darn cute!

I'm back

Oh this poor neglected BLOG... I'm back. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all. I have truly enjoyed this holiday season. My children make it so fun. Driving around listening to my daughter grunt and squeal at any sign of Christmas lights. Even if it is just a street light. This Fall was a whirlwind but the best yet! We had the most amazing location for my two big weekends. Thank you Barsoom Family! 46 photo shoots since September, 1 wedding and over 30 Christmas Cards created and sent out. A Big thank you to Kelley Frese- working with you makes it no work at all! I had a blast with everyone and even though it's a busy time - I am already excited for next years shoots. If you have any connections for great locations I am always on the hunt.


As if this has not kept me busy enough my husband and I have been finishing our garage. So many of you who have been in my garage for shoots hear about the big plans... well now it's finally getting finished. Here is a before and after.












My calender is up and current for those of you looking to book something this winter or spring. If you are a high school senior get booked early.


The website has been updated with some new pictures from fall. Also I have put together a little sideshow of some random pics from this fall.

"Fierce"

Our attempt at America's Next Top Model "Fierce" Competition. This was way too much fun. I don't think I could ever be a fashion photographer without cracking up at the models. You Penner kids crack me up. I had a blast!

Remember September

Sorry it has been forever since my last post. September rolled by quickly. So many little cuties. I love seeing how all these babies are growing. Becoming big brothers and sisters, sitting, standing, walking; so fun to watch. I honestly do feel like part of the family sometimes. I have had the opportunity to travel to many of my clients homes this last month and it is so great to see what everyone has done with the pictures. It makes me feel like I am doing something extra special when I see the memories filling your home. Love my job!

Heading into the busy RUSH of the holidays. If you have not received the link for this years Christmas Collection email me and i will be glad to send that your way. I am looking forward to hanging out with everyone in the next couple of months. I am working on my winter and spring calender. Here is some faves from last month.

Back to Work!

Well summer is officially over! It has been a whirlwind - My son turned 4, my daughter started walking, she got 6 new teeth, I competted in my first triathalon, and we were gone 11 weekends out of the summer 12. You may be re-reading to see if I actually said triathalon- yes I did but it was no Iron Man - The Hume lake triathalon. I do have to say that I beat my Hubby who I dragged into it with me. That's all I will say about that.

Summer has been great but now it is back to work. Fall is quickly approaching and so are the holiday shoots. I am pretty much booked with a little wiggle room here and there. The support from everyone continues to amaze me. You are all so awesome! You may have noticed a little change on my splash page. One square takes you to another BLOG called Captured and Created. This is the official home of all design products. Feel free to check it out. It is mostly a site for other photographers to purchase designs but you can feel free to check out what I am up to on the design end. Locations for the october and November shoot are still in the works. If any of you know a family with property, barns, orchards, etc... I am always on the lookout!

Here are a few pics of my kiddos at the end of summer. Micah is now 4 Mallory 16 mo.
