Senior Portrait Session :: Meghan

Coming soon: senior portraits!! Meghan and I have been playing tag with our calendars for a few months...so finally today we got together so I could work on getting some senior images on the blog. We nearly froze our butts off (my fingers too!) but she was super sweet about it and here are some of my favorite images from our mini-session. She is a beautiful person from the inside out, so it was hard to choose just a few! Enjoy! (p.s. any 2009 seniors who have put off getting their portraits taken, contact me for some sweet discounts!)

 

:: FYI ::

Thanks for stopping by~ I will not be blogging new pics again until after November 22nd...so feel free to check out past posts if you wish! (And make a photographers day...post a comment or two while you're here ;-) Here are a couple I couldn't resist posting...my little movie star!

:: Weidler Kids ::

Today's attempt at photographing the kids went much better than the last time I tried. I really wished for some amazing pics of our own kiddos to have made into Christmas cards. They were unusually cooperative and I acknowledge that bribery was key in getting them to work with me (nothing like the promise of a Frosty to get what you want!) Here are a few from our mini-session this afternoon, and yes, we each enjoyed our Frostys afterward. I was pleased at how the images pretty well reflect their personalities... Syd's sweet demeanor, Ike's mischievious smirk, and Sam's giggle come through in a way even I didn't expect! Enjoy!

Simply Canvas Gallery Wraps!

I can't say enough about these amazing canvases from Simply Canvas! You can choose from a single portrait or I will create a unique design featuring your family (or a member if it)~ then it is printed on canvas, skillfully wrapped around a wooden frame and (literally) ready to hang on the wall out of the box. No framing, fussing or figuring out what mat color matches. It's really that simple! Not to mention an affordable investment you will always have & cherish.

Now, if you love your images framed, Simply Canvas does offer wooden floating frames for any size gallery wrap, and it just pops around the wrap~ again, EASY, no need for matting or glass, and beautiful to boot.

So, if you are thinking about unique wall art for your home, office or as a one-of-a-kind gift for a loved one, gallery wraps are IT!! I have three sizes as samples and you are welcome to stop in and check them out! (and this will be my incentive to keep my office area neat, lol) 

Below I took a few quick pics of the gallery wrap that arrived today:

The Best Day of Her Life (so far)

This is little cutie belongs to my friend Marlo, and she was having her own little adventure crawling through leaves at the park...it was her first time doing so, and she could not contain her delight! These little ones just capture my heart...I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Tyson Family

This afternoon I got to hang out with the Tyson crew for a little while and enjoyed getting to know more about them. Their 13 year old 'baby', Chelsea joined us for a couple of pics, and we had fun tromping around the neighbors' yards and a nearby cornfield for some others. Thanks again to Doreen, Lauren, Kyle & Kelly for appeasing my 'let's try this out and see what happens' ~ I was happy with the results and hope you will be too!
