Whats ahead in '08!

In the midst of the busy holiday season, I have also been working on some new things for next year with SH Portraits.

I have new packages to offer and a new baby plan (if you are interested in seeing these please just email me!). I also will be doing a special in January to kick off the new year, which will be announced early next week!

By the end of the month I will be posting a blog contest for the new "blog banner baby" (or child!) the winner will receive a great prize and be on my blog banner for the next 6 months beginning in January.

You will soon hear a different tune on my website too. I have been feeling like it was time for a change and another local photographer and myself now have the same music (we must both have great taste!). So, this combined with the new year have finally given me the push to find music that I truly love and defines my unique style too. Keep those ears open!

Stay warm and happy holidays to everyone!!

Awaiting An Arrival

I love maternity sessions for lots of reasons. But the two best are being able to show off your new curves and feel great about it, and of course what being pregnant means! I can't wait to meet this little one in a few short weeks (and my camera can't either!).

Cousins

It was a success! Grandma wanted portraits of her two grandbabies for her mantle and we did it. The day after Thanksgiving (I know I'm behind on posting!) I met up with these cuties, one fresh face and one familiar, but both as sweet as could be!

Grandma's House

I recently did this session at Grandma's house and I love this tree on the property! It made the perfect backdrop for a portrait of the children together!

Three's A Charm!

Well this "preview" is late since the gallery is already finished, but I still had to share with everyone on the blog! These three siblings were just a delight to photograph. They played, I hung out and captured it. A total blast!

First Snow

Many families in Western New York experienced their first snowfall of the season yesterday! So, it is official that winter has arrived.

On that note, I am once again sharing my favorite snow image of all time. This is my daughter who was freezing when I took this portrait while I begged her not to move. She got a big ol' cup of hot chocolate afterwards! I also won an award at the Erie County Fair for this portrait!


It is hanging up as a large canvas in my living room and the more I look at it each day, the more I love it.


I love snow - as long as it is in a black and white picture on my wall! ;)

Fall Color.

The leaves are almost all of the trees now here in WNY, but the colors are still as gorgeous as ever. This weekend is proving to be just perfect for outdoor portraits. A great family are the perfect touch!
