My New Office Setup


So I finally got my Macbook Pro, the new 15 inch and I got the new 24inch display as well. I am so excited, I got it sort of set up last night. I do need to get the wall mount so that it will fit on my desk a little better, but I am so excited about all the editing I will get to do on this big beautiful screen.

Snow Day!!!!




The kids had their first snow day today. The boys played outside while Maddison and I stayed in and wrapped presents. It was fun for the most part, though, they did get bored and ended up watching way to much t.v. and video games. Now all electronics are off and they are playing something involving a fort/tent, so all is good.

Finally, I Got One!!!




So I took this guys brothers pics last week and he just wasn't ready yet for his turn. We also didn't get any of them all three together, so I went back this morning and with a little bribery got them done. I'm not above bribery, especially when it gives such good results.

Adding Texture...


I've been playing around with adding texture to photos, it's a neat way to change things up. I like the way this picture looks like it might have been taken years ago, I'm still perfecting my skills on this, but I think I might start offering it to clients.

Happy Holidays!!!



I had my final session before Christmas today, and what a dream session it was. For starters, this sweet little girl was just perfect. Never fussed even through all the clothing changes. Then their house was every photographers dream, tons of natural light, there really wasn't a bad place to shoot. So thanks little Miss E and her momma for letting me capture this wonderful time in your life, it was truly a pleasure.

Fun Session!!


My favorite family in all the world finally let me take their pictures today. My best friends family is one that I have never formally taken pictures of, even though we are together often. I finally got a time nailed down and got them taken today. I'm only showing one because there might be some presents involved and I wouldn't want to give anything away, but aren't they beautiful.

Sunday Morning Randomness





This is what I do when I'm procrastinating real work. I work on pictures that don't need to get done. It's funny how that works isn't it. I love the Christmas bokeh and thought I'd share, and of course I had to add the one of Jack concentrating so hard on Guitar Hero.

Christmas Frenzy



I'm nearing the end of the holiday rush, and wrapping up my last few sessions. Today I got to take pics of kids from the old 'hood. It was good to see friends that we don't get to see as much now that we don't live in the same neighborhood.

Sneak Preview



I got to take these two cute little guys pics today. There will be more to come, as their younger brother was recovering from the flu and just wasn't quite ready for pictures. These guys did great though, you can tell it wasn't their first time.

Fun Family Session



I had a fun little family session the week of Thanksgiving. This family was awesome, up for anything. We had a great time and I am finally winding down on the holiday rush. Only two more sessions to go before we take a little holiday break.
