minor set back

Well, as expected, closing my Facebook wasn't as easy as I thought. NOT because I wasn't ready, but because the darn thing is tied to my growing photography business. Since I know there isn't much traffic here, I need some help with growing the following on my 'new' Facebook photography page. I apologize in advance for even having to ask this, but would all of you friends (and mostly family) who follow along with this blog kindly reLIKE my photography page on Facebook. PRETTY PLEASE! andddd promote away if it's not too much to ask. Eek. Starting over from scratch with the photography page kind of scares me but it has to be done. Ugh!

Thanks so much in advance!!!

Click here for the actual page.

Also, I'll slowly be adding more of my albums back to the photography Facebook page... so much to do!

P family session

Of course I forgot to post the finals from this session... these repeat offenders and good friends of ours are always a pleasure to photograph. Thank you again for spending a couple hours with me and letting me capture how much your children have grown over the last year. Click on that link... crazy! They're adorable!

This dude went from one extreme to the next in a hurry. He was loving up my camera :)

 and one more of the birthday girl (her birthday is just before Lia's)  :)

B & S session

Where do I start? Large groups... children... over 300 photos... yeah, we got a few. This was a great bunch to work with and I'm SO glad for the experience. I truly hope "grandma" enjoys them as well!

Check back for the collage of craziness from this photo shoot!

S family!

Last weekend the S family joined us at our home as we rummaged around the property to get some good shots of the family. Little did I know... there are quite a few gems around here! I was quite pleased at the tiny creek down in the woods, and a huge thank you to my lady K for pointing out the old truck just sitting in the field waiting for us to sit on it! I know my own children will be very pleased to climb all over it for mommy to take more photos ;)

Thank you K and E (and B and M) for being such great troopers!

(and hope you enjoyed the baha ride on the golf cart... courtesy of the best neighbor ever)

Lesson learned: Smith children create chaos when photographing other children... who am I kidding, Smith children create chaos at all times.

:)

N family!

Last week I had the pleasure of getting to know little man C and baby H at their home. They are both so adorable! Little C reminded me a LOT of Nash...possibly because they share the same birthday! If I remember correctly, Nash was almost 3 pounds larger but Little C has caught up very nicely. Thank you again to the N family for letting me spend some time with you! I hope you enjoy :)



S family & engagement photos

We lucked out this past weekend with some gorgeous weather (very unlike Wisconsin) and I had 2 days to take photos.

I had the opportunity to take some of Dave's cousins family with some engagement shots thrown in there as well. This little guy is a riot and reminds me a lot of my Tayt. Possibly less beasty than Tayt though :) After getting photos of the 2 families this weekend, I have come to the conclusion that one must take a bajillion photos of kids just to get a couple good ones. Here are some of my favorites :)

A big THANK YOU to this family for letting me gain some more experience. And for the ice cream ;) Thank you also to my sister, Casey, for providing the editing and eventual burning of the photos to a CD for this couple.
