This was from the Perry Family’s fall session. They also incorporated their cousins for a group kid photograph for the grandparents as a gift. It’s not often that six children will behave so perfectly for a session, but they were the best to work with.

I met the Whitmore Family at Papa John’s Headquarters’. They have two of the most mild mannered children ever. I’m used to running after your kiddos and I LOVE it. So when I actually get children that sit and a smile for a picture, I’m almost at a loss. I soooo often get from parents, apology after apology for kids running everywhere and each family thinks their kids are being uncooperative but it’s really untrue. I haven’t met a family yet that has been more difficult to photograph then my own:)

The Wheeler Family were great to photograph. Veronica, who was simply beautiful inside and out brought her sister along to help make everyone laugh. I think she had me laughing for the entire hour. Thanks for a great session.

I have been blessed to have some of the most caring people in my life. Megan is no expection. She cared for my daughter Annabelle while I work through the day. I am no longer at her center but miss her dearly. What more can a working mom ask for other than wonderful caregivers?
Most of you know that photography is not my full time job, it's only a hobby. I work an 8 to 5 office job, Monday through Friday. But photography is a great creative outlet for me and I am thankful for all of you that contact me for sessions.

We photographed Braxton at the Papa John’s Headquarters as I do many of my clients. He is so adorable with his beautiful blue eyes. It was nice seeing his mom Kim, who was my Chi Omega sorority sister at Eastern, which feels like so long ago:) Thanks Kim and Braxton for a great session.

Another Papa John's session, as I mentioned in the summer it's a beautiful place. I met the Baker Family for this session in July and we just had another session a few weeks ago. It's alway nice to see repeat clients. Our latest session was at Blackacre which is one of my favorites in the fall.

These two handsome boys made for another fun session at Papa John’s headquarters. In the summer, I can most certainly say that I am about ¼ as busy as I am right now. It typically takes me 7 to 10 days to deliver your images but right now it is taking a bit longer. I am working day and night to get them to you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience:)

Papa John’s Headquarters, is one of the most desired locations for sessions in the spring and summer, so many of my clients love it there. Although, this fall it appears that Locust Grove is everyone’s favorite because of the autumn colors. Locust Grove really is great place for capturing the elements of fall.
These boys were precious, I met them one evening this summer at Papa John’s . It was a very sunny day, most of you may think that we want a sunny day for our session, but honestly overcast is best, direct sunlight creates a lot of contrast.
It is always nice to meet so many families. Thanks Bentley Family.

I had a very busy weekend, 6 sessions scheduled with a few rain outs. In the fall I plan for good weather but of course, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature. Sunday, I had a great session at Papa John’s, two at Blackacre Conservancy Home and one in-home session.
After our shoot is complete, then what happens? A session takes 7 to 10 days for me to edit. (a wedding and a senior session take longer). I upload your images and each is digitally enhanced, skin is touched up, vignettes are added and colors are enhanced. After I am done editing, your first presentation of our session is through a web based slideshow set to music. Unfortunately, it is just that, “web based” I wish I had an option to make it a cd for you but it’s designed to give my clients, a meaningful first impression of our session. The link will stay up for as long as the software service will allow me. Currently, links have been active for two years.
The next step is you will receive a “still” slideshow of our session through email. With this slideshow, you will get each of your pictures in color and in black and white. Also, a few with special coloring. Most one hour sessions, result in 35 to 50 images.
Finally, you will receive through the mail a cd of high resolution images with a printing release for you to print anywhere you wish. A few of my favorite places are snapfish and kodakgallery. Here locally my favorite is Costco. I highly suggest you get “matte” or “lustre” finish, it makes a huge difference in getting a professional quality. When you receive the cd, please feel free to put your photos on facebook and email them to family and friends. Payment is due the day of our session and can be made payable by check or cash.
Although, my ultimate goal is to deliver your images within 7 to 10 days, in peak times it could be a little longer. Photography is my 3rd job, 1st is being a mother of two small children, 2nd is working full time as an office and event coordinator for Summit Energy Services and then photography. I would love to some day pursue photography as my full time profession but for now it just remains my passion:)
The Beach Family could not have been more “picture perfect”. Really! How gorgeous is this family? Not to mention they were all super sweet. The jumping shot is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for a great session!
