New Friends

One of the great things about being a photographer is all the wonderful people I get to meet and work with,

such as this high school senior, and her mom.

I met up with them yesterday for a beautiful morning on the beach.

While we had never met in person, we were instant friends. 

During the shoot we talked about graduation and her big plans for the future. She seemed so excited, so ready. Her mom, however, mentioned more than once how it "made her weepy" to think about her little girl graduating and moving on in life.

 When we were done we hugged, certain we would see one another again.

I am so glad our paths have crossed.

For my new friends I found this little quote that seemed so appropriate for this time,

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."

A Few More

Last week I posted pictures from a family session with a promise of a few more of the kids.

Because of a few other (exciting) things underway with {TREASURE photography}

it took a few more days than the "few" that I promised, but here they are.

Better late than never, I hope.

I had so much fun with this family and a large part of it was because of the kids. They were so great, so fun, and seriously so easy. I loved talking to these boys and hearing what sort of things they are into. It made me wonder what things my little boy will be into at this age. I think I may have made some new friends.

Isn't his smile so infectious?!

I love it!

I have got to get this little girl on a play date with my daughter.

They are 2 peas in a pod and would get along great. Seriously, this is on my to-do list.

And this baby, oh, this baby.

Look at his eyes! They are so big and so beautiful and so expressive.

He is such a happy baby, and oh so cute!

(Mom, you can drop him off during the girl's play date too - I'll take care of him!)

Sneak Peak

I met with this gorgeous family on Saturday afternoon.

It was a beautiful - warm - sunny - Florida - January afternoon. It was perfect.

(Sorry to all of you buried in snow. Come visit!) 

I am just posting a quick preview tonight - we've had too many late nights in this house this week.

So watch for more of this cute family in the coming days, but I didn't want to make them wait any longer.

This last picture makes me smile from ear to ear.

So much personality in these 4, so much energy. So much beauty.

I love kids.

Referral Gift

2010 was such a great year. After my family's big move from Oklahoma to Florida at the end of 2009 I took a long break from shooting . Then I slowly got back into it and completely enjoyed every session.

2011 already seems to be shaping up to be a great year, and I wanted to do a little something for those who helped get things started for me here in Florida.

So all of my 2010 clients, if you refer someone to me in 2011 you will be eligible for my 2010 price on the 2011 "Complete Session Package." The only catch is that all sessions must be booked and completed in 2011. Just tell whomever you are referring to mention your name in their initial contact with me, and you are all set!

Thanks again for letting me capture your treasured memories!

Seniors 2011

I had the opportunity to go exploring with this High School Senior last week. I love her. She's so fun, intelligent and beautiful. We talked about her plans, her hopes, and her thoughts for her future.  

Her future is most definitely bright.

Endless possibilities lie in front of her. Endless adventures await her.

It is up to her what she picks. It is her choice which roads she chooses to walk down.

Being such a level headed girl I know she'll choose nothing but the best.

And I for one, can't wait to see how it all unfolds.

(P.S. Be on the look out for my new Senior Session packages in the next week.)

A Little Bonus

Late this fall I started to make these videos for my clients. They seem to have been received well so I have decided to continue them this year. It is a fun way to view your photos for the first time and a great way to share them with your families and friends.

Feel free to request a specific song during your session!

2011 Pricing

In the coming few days there will be a new pricing tab with all this information, but for now here is the 2011 Price Sheet:

Be on the look out in the next week or two for a few more announcements detailing information for my 2011 sessions, including the print price list. I am so excited about this year, its going to be fabulous.

I am currently booking sessions for all of 2011. January is full and I've already got requests through March, so hurry and contact me if you want a session in either February or March before the dates fill up!

The Journey

It is late tonight, but before I lay my head down I definitely owe this family a preview. So I won't be too wordy. As I edit photos it is typical for a specific word to come into my mind that defines the shoot and the emotion I feel from the pictures. The word that continually popped into my head tonight as I worked was "journey."

This family is embarking on a new part of their journey in life. Soon their youngest will be graduating and leaving the nest. As I looked through these pictures it was hard not to think about where they've been and where they are going.

And in an effort to do as I said and "not be too wordy" - here is the preview to enjoy:

(I love that they're all looking toward Dad in this picture.)

(As we were wrapping up the session they told me that they had done a similar shot like this for many years, in fact I had seen one from a summer trip. I am so glad they stopped and asked that we did this shot so we could continue their tradition.)

SISTERS

On the merry-go-round of life SISTERS are a source of strength.

 

SISTERS never have to ride alone...



...until they are ready.

And no matter how independent they become...

...or how many bumps there are along the way...

SISTERS are always there.

"A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost." ~Marion C. Garretty
