I’m home now after almost two solid weeks of travel, and ready to get caught up on all my sessions…so those of you who are anxiously awaiting your slideshows, it won’t be long now! Here’s one from my brief visit with Stacey, David, and the granddolls two weeks ago. Their family shots these days consist of wrangling the kids together and hoping to get something usuable; and we did!

These just cracked me up!!! I’m a little worried some of you may be too young to know the songs, though.

I think all of you know that great images of my Granddolls are what really makes me happy, and I think you know that they happen to be two of the most difficult children on the face of the planet to photograph! Their mother and I  are both pretty handy with a camera, so you would think that between the two of us we would have a boatload of great images, right? WRONG! It seriously is so, so hard to get eye contact with these two. I suppose its because they have beeen photographed literally from their first breath, and they know exactly how to foil us. Thankfully, as they get older it is starting to get a little easier…and at my last visit I got this:

This session was intended to be a surprise Christmas gift for the grandparents of these twin girls, and no one (including their parents!) thought that they would actually be able to keep it that way. But lo and behold, neither of these sweetie-pies uttered so much as a hint, and their proud grandparents received a wonderful Storybook and dvd slideshow on Christmas that thrilled them to pieces! Btw, grandma made the little ponchos and jackets that you seee in these images, and that makes these even more special!

This little sweetheart has been in front of my camera almost yearly since she was a tot, and it’s always such fun to see her grow and change. The camera just loves her, and so do I! Just look at what we got this year:

REMINDER:  The canvas sale ends at midnight on Saturday (actually, more like 10 pm because I will be in bed, lol!). So if you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time to call me!

Here is a great idea for those of you that had your children photographed recently by me – Photo Valentines!

Each design is sized at 2×3 inches – so that you can print TWO on one 4×6 print and cut them apart.  With the cost of 4×6 prints at your local photo developer at like 12 cents, you can afford to have fun!  The possibilities are endless – they can be pasted onto pretty cardstock for a bookmark, or tied to a pencil or lollipop if you want to go even farther.  The digital file with your child’s Casual Moments photo inserted is $20; I can email it to you as soon as payment is received. Call or email me now!

I’m a little behind on posting sessions on the blog, but this one just melts my heart. I’ve been photographing Ethan since he was three and I can’t believe how fast he’s growing! His mom brings him to me every year and gets a Storybook, so it’s really fun for her to have a collection of albums that captures his look and personality over the years as he grows. This year he just blew me away with how confident he is, and his new big-boy-non-fake smile is just dazzling!

And the first one is my new WordPress blog! I have wanted one for quite awhile in order to show larger images, but was overwhelmed as to how to go about changing over from my old typepad one. Luckily, Pam and Theresa from Blogs Of Photogs were able to help!

So here is my very first new image – I took this of daughter Nicole and her husband Steve when we saw them at Christmas:

Can you guess why they are smiling? And why I’m smiling?
Because we’re going to be grandparents again in early August!

Some of you may remember seeing these gorgeous twin girls before on my blog – they were brought to me for a secret session by their Dad as a surprise for their mom: Husband of the Year

This time Missy joined them for some updated images. Look at how they have grown! They look very much alike, but before too long I was easily able to tell them apart. Here are a few of Sarah.

I think.


Look at her dimples! That's how I know it's Sarah. At least I'm pretty sure.


And here is Hannah. She has the blonde hair and real blue eyes. Oh wait, so does Sarah…no, I'm sure this is Hannah.


Yep that's her. Pretty sure.


How perfect are their outfits?




And the whole family this time:
