This group of samples includes our family Christmas card this year. We chose to use the 5×5 trifold cards. The flat samples aare 5×7 cards. Again, these cards are press printed and double sided. Colors and text can be changed to meet your needs and likes. Cards arrive about two days after your order is completed. I sent my own cards out this week!
One of the hardest things for me to do is to capture great pictures of my own children. Fortunately I have a very nice friend who stands behind me and makes silly comments at my children to get them to smile and look natural. I am very happy with the pictures I got this year and I will share my own Christmas card a little later once I get mine all mailed out! Until then, please enjoy the pictures I captured! Special thanks to one of my friends who helped me get the family shots - you did a great job!!!

Here are a few samples from this year’s Holiday cards. I just love the cards I have ordered this year! I love opening the boxes as they arrive and looking at the beautiful cards! If you are interested in having a session for cards please give me a call. I do have a little availability before the holidays.

Here is the back for the above card…
This is a double sided flat card sample
Here is a tri fold sample - again it is double sided. The front of the card has the three kids and then you open it up to the greeting. The final open reveals all three kids with the back having the picture of the dog.
Another sample of a double sided flat.
One more sample of a trifold that I just ordered
I will post a sample of a bi-fold card soon. I just have to go find that one…but for now take a look at these. We can change any colors to suit your needs. Check back soon for some more samples.

My second shoot this afternoon turned out to be a real stunner! I met up with my clients in their gorgeous backyard and we snapped right as the sun was setting over the lake. The orange colors are so bright and beautiful and look great with the red shirts everyone was wearing. I had the pleasure of photographing these girls in the spring but this time around we went for the whole family and I am so happy we did! They are a spectacular looking family and so loving and warm! These pictures really capture their bonds. Thanks to you all for a great afternoon and thanks especially to the youngest who was a perfect darling even though she was feeling a little under the weather. There may be quite a few to look at in this post as I am going to have a hard time choosing my favorites!!!
Enjoy!

And a few serious yet beautiful pictures of the girls!
Today I had the joy of photographing a family that is “all grown up”! I have to give these young men LOTS of credit for being GREAT sports today as I shot their family pictures and tried to get some of them just being them. I had a great afternoon. I laughed a TON, realized that when photographing people that are over 6 feet I should bring a ladder, and in general just enjoyed this family of adults! It was a gorgeous day and the cool weather was just an added bonus. Thanks to all for such fun! I can’t even begin to think about what it will be like when my own family is at this cross road in life, I just hope I too am a smart momma and I get pictures so I can remember every stage in my child’s life - both young and old!
Enjoy!

And just for fun…a few silly ones - see even grown boys can still play!
I love the week of Thanksgiving as it is the perfect time to get those sought after holiday pictures. The kids are all out of school this week and I have lots of sessions to keep me busy because of the break. I love the colors in these pictures. We shot at one of my favorite spots with all the green, moss and water and I absolutely LOVE the reds, creams and browns the family wore. We had a great time today even though we had a little bit of an unexpected moment. One of my friends kind of fell off the dock this afternoon right into the grassy waters below. Fortunately it was only up to her ankles and everyone was a great sport about it, so great in fact that we continued shooting even after the splash and still got some great shots. So thanks for the great sportsmanship and the fantastic laughs this afternoon. It will for sure go down as one of my funniest shooting moments!
Enjoy!

And just one of the fall…gotta include that one! As a note, I am not usually so callous as to take pictures of a child who is crying but I have known this family very well for about four years so I had to capture this “precious moment” so we could always remember it!
I had the joy this weekend of seeing my brother, his gorgeous wife and their wonderful kids. We had lots of fun and the kids really enjoyed playing with one another. I also was able to persuade my niece into sitting for some pictures, not her favorite thing to do but a bucket of play doh and some mini M&M’s worked wonders!
Enjoy

Yesterday found me at this household once again for a third year in a row! The boys are getting so big and are still just as cute as they were that first year when I photographed them. I just adore these three little guys and I am so happy that I continue to have the opportunity to photograph their smiling faces each year! Check back again very soon. I have two more sessions from this weekend to share as well as a few more that I will be doing this week!
Enjoy!

Here are just a few fun ones!\
Here are some samples from my other shoot on Saturday. The dogs were SO well behaved. We did torture them a little asking them constantly if they wanted a cookie or if they wanted to go on a ride but they were so great! Their little heads would tilt to the side everytime you asked them if they wanted to go on a ride and it was SO cute and funny! Thanks for the laughs!
