Open Dates & New Friends!

Wow - when I posted my current fall schedule most everything was snapped up in just about one day. I am looking forward to meeting great new families and visiting with some previous clients! The following are the current open dates for the remainder of the year. I may open up a few more dates in December, but there will be no holiday delivery for those dates. I am also starting a waiting list for any October or November dates if you are interested in that let me know!

November 22 - morning or afternoon session
November 23 - afternoon session only, from 2pm & on
November 29 - morning or afternoon session

November 8th & 9th have now booked as well, there are only 3 official dates left for the year!

Now that the business end of things is aside - I of course have some pictures to share! This is my little guy Reid (the unhappy one of course, we have a screamer) and his buddy Tristan. Tristan is my best friends little guy and they are just 3 weeks apart. So of course we are hoping they love each other as much as we love each other. Unfortunately at our impromptu playdate the other day, Reid wasn't showing the love!

Its not always about the camera. . .

but it is all about having the camera handy! Only this morning when all three of my boys were seemingly in a great mood and in the right place at the right time - my camera was not. (of course!) But guess what was handy - no not my point and shoot camera either! My camera phone. Yup thats right folks, this was taken with my camera phone. Unfortunately because it was with a camera phone it isn't something I can ever print, but I can make it into wallpaper here on my computer!

I am often asked what is the best camera on the market right now, or can you help me learn how to use my camera. I will of course help when I can, but in the end folks it isn't about the camera you use, it is how you use it!

So enjoy my little men, I sure do!

Fall Schedule

Hi everyone! I have put together a fall schedule for this year. Please keep in mind that my schedule is limited due to having a new baby. If you do not see a date that works for your family, please email me and we will see if we can work something out!

All sessions booked from now through the end of the year will require a $50 non refundable deposit. If your session must be cancelled, your deposit will go towards your session fee during the months of January 2009 - June 2009. All orders placed before November 20th, will arrive to you by December 1st. I can not guarantee that orders placed after November 20th will be here in time for the holidays, so be sure to book your sessions early!

Ready for the good part? All Deluxe Sessions booked this fall will receive one set of complimentary 5x7 Holiday Cards (postcard style) to send out to your friends and family this year!

I look forward to hearing from you and photographing your beautiful families!

And lastly - of course a photographers blog is useless without photos right?! So here is another of Reid. Next weekend I am meeting with a lovely family so you will all get to see a different face!

More Reid!

Since I am on maternity leave and not working, Reid is going to be our little blog updater! Well that and many of you have asked to see more of him, so here he is! I can't believe it has been 2 1/2 weeks already!

Our Session

If I have learned anything this past week it is that it is so much easier to photograph newborns that don't belong to me! So I have attempted here and there to photograph Reid and of course I must share with everyone. He is still doing great, just the perfect little guy. Or as my son Justin would say "no his name is peanut!".

Where has she been??!

Well the answer is I have been on maternity leave and I was waiting for this little guy to arrive. He made his entrance into the world on Saturday at 11:42am after a very long and eventful labor. He weighs 7 pounds and is 20 1/2 inches long. His name. . .Reid Patrick Lumley. So enjoy the only 2 pictures I have taken of him since returning home! No really, only 2 I'm exhausted! Oh - we call him Spike because we can give him a mohawk!

Bippity Boppity. . .

Boo! It seems to me it was her favorite song because Mom singing it resulted in smiles, clapping and "more Mommy!". So it is only appropriate to name her blog post the same. Sessions are getting harder and harder for me lately at 33 weeks pregnant but having fun little ones like this makes it easy ;)
