While we all love to ooh and ah over the perfect photo…I have to confess that for every great photo that I publish for each client, there are 2 to 3 outtakes.  I have to share this one.  I had the opportunity of photographing a family that included parents, children and grandchildren.  While I was going thru the photos for this family I just burst out laughing when I opened this photo.  One playing with his shoe, one looking for something, one looking at someone else…they are all doing their own thing…and then there is just one looking at me smiling. 

And a couple from the cute grandbabies!

As promised mom…I have your sneaks ready by Monday! 

This mommy and daddy are as sweet as they are cute!  I had a ton of fun at their session…and cannot wait to meet baby D!

Here is daddy giving baby some lovin…

And of course we cannot forget the first child!

She is one now.  I met her when she was 2 weeks old, and again when she was 6 months…she has gotten more beautiful each time I have seen her (and a bit more mobil!)

I have been busy.  Real busy…which is why I have not posted much recently.  I threw together a collage of a few of my recents from my mini sessions for the holiday.  I swear, I always get the cutest kids!

You all know how I feel about 6 month olds.  This little darling was no exception.  I could not pick just 3 sneaks…so you get 5 mom and dad…it is your lucky day!

And one in color…

Christmas season is already upon us…and that includes the rush of people hoping to get photos of their little ones for Grandma and Grandpa!  For all of you who have already scheduled their sessions with me, Thank You!  I will work day and night to get your photos to you in time for gift giving and card sending.  But, in order to do that I do have some ordering deadlines in place to guarantee this.  All card orders placed BEFORE November 30 will have thier cards in their hands by December 15th.  All print orders placed BEFORE December 6th will have the product in their hands by December 22nd.  My lab gets quite busy during the holiday season so the sooner you order, the sooner you will receive your items.  If you order after the deadline, i will do my best to get them to you, but cannot guarantee that I will.  I can request a rush order though my lab, but it does cost more.  Please inquire if needed.

Also, my schedule is currently unavailable to new sessions with the exception of Newborns (in which case i will do my best to accommodate).  In order to get those squishy sweet photos of new babies, the session must be held within the first 10 days of life for me to make the exception.  Otherwise, sessions will be booked as of January 5th and on.  

One last note…I know I am a bit behind on my sneaks.  I will try to catch up in the next few days! 

Thank you!

Jodi

Okay…I usually try to post just 3 of each session before I start proofing them.  Well…I missed this one as I was pulling the 3…and have to share it.  It is just such a sweet moment between mom and baby that I had to share it. 

Being that it was almost 70 degrees last week…I was able to get outdoors again and capture this little boy being as sweet as a chocolate cake!  I love watching the babies grow (I took his newborn photos too) into sitters and walkers.  Mr H was just learning to sit…but managed pretty good as you can see below. 

This past weekend I was proudly invited to an open house for Announce with Style.  They are an online company that creates beautiful cards, announcements, labels and other types of stationary.  You can visit their site at www.announcewithstyle.com.  I snapped a couple of quick photos of their display, as well as one of them!  Meet Samantha and Sam, of Announce with Style!

And a show of their display…

I took photos of many children and families while at the event.  Here are just a few.

I love having boys.  I probalby mentioned that a couple of times.  I am sure I would love having a girl…but I really love having boys!  These are not my boys…but they were just as fun…as you can see from the photos below!
