My Own

Downtown has quickly become one of my favorites places to take portraits. There is so much interesting color and texture and it goes great with cute trendy clothing! On Sunday I took my own kids downtown for a few new photos. Usually they don't enjoy the whole photo process when I try to photograph them together, although they tend to do better separately. But because their daddy works downtown, they think it's such a treat to go down there and they did much better than usual for the photos. We may be doing all of our sessions downtown now-ha!




Claire is letting her hair grow long and I think she looks super cute in her braids.


Stella is finally starting to take some steps. We're in trouble now!


Notice the major lack of teeth Grace is sporting these days! She starts 2nd grade next week.


I think it's time for another blog contest as well. I'd love to know that you all are out there reading, so here's how to enter the contest. Just leave a comment on this blog post saying anything you want (make sure to include your name though!). Leaving a comment will enter you in a drawing for a free 5x7 brag book with your next session. The brag book will contain 20 images from your session bound together with a spiral binding and a frosted cover. Perfect for carrying around in your purse to show off your new photos! Good luck and I'll let you know the winner in my next post.

    I read your blog all the time especially when you send out an update. Also, my niece is a budding photographer and I have encouraged her to read your blog for inspiration and she DOES. We both think you are talented and enjoy the variety of photo shoots (beach, country, famililes, etc.)that share with us. Thanks!
