Call me crazy, but I'm pretty grateful that she's not leaving me just yet
...although, she may not feel the same. ;)
Cherishing these "baby years" that fly by all too quickly.

Fall Minis
Update: Fall Minis are BOOKED!
I will let you all know about any cancellations or last minute openings.
Hello Friends!
After much consideration, I made the decision to not take any more FULL sessions (this includes full child, family, newborn, maternity, etc.) for the remainder of 2013. Instead, I will be offering a limited number of Fall Minis. This will allow me to catch up with old clients, meet some new faces, while also keeping my workload in check and allowing me to spend time with my family. Last holiday season was so crazy that I felt as if I was hardly present to enjoy it with my own loved ones.
Not that I don't love my clients...but you get what I'm saying. :)
Below is the info for Fall Minis.
Emails have already been sent out to current clients, so if you are interested--hurry, hurry!
Due to travel, family events, and workshops I will be attending this Fall, I only have room to open about 10-12 slots!
Can't wait to see you soon!

Father's Day
So, I'm a little late to the game...but Happy Father's Day! Haha...got a little sidetracked somewhere in June. Anyways, wanted to share these personal pics- I hope you don't mind...
So least year, when I was just beginning to delve into the realm of photography (enter beautiful brown bed sheet as backdrop) I came up with this idea for a Father's Day shoot. See, I used to be a teacher and every year for Father's Day I'd bring in a button up, a tie, some funky "dad" hats, mustaches, glasses, etc. and have my students "dress up" as their dads. I'd take a picture, have the kids paste it to the front of some construction, and viola- best Father's Day card ever! Tears, every year I tell ya. I basically made a mental note to myself: "Do not forget this idea when you have kids one day".
Well many years later and wouldn't you know- that little mental note alarm went off in my brain and I was so excited to take this photo and give it to my husband for his first ever Father's Day. It was a hit (despite my less-than-stellar photog skills) and I vowed to do it again the next year.
Well, when my hubby opened up this year's picture he just about cried (...and it wasn't because he was impressed with my photography skill growth. j/k) You see, even though he sees his girl every day- he keeps that original Father's Day picture on his desk at work. He looks at it all day, every day. In his head, our little girl is frozen in time in that picture. Seeing the picture this year, seeing how different, how grown she looks from the original pictures just brought him to tears. It was as if the whole year that had past came rushing forward to catch up with him. There she was, our little girl, pig-tails sprouted, sassy attitude and all. She wasn't a baby anymore. And although I know it breaks his heart, I know he'll replace the office picture with this new one. Because next year, when she looks even older, he'll look at this current one and wish she was this tiny still. Thus is the viscous cycle of "time".
So now, the only problem is that I need to somewhat stick to the original cheese-ball set-up every year. I figure, it's just for us- so let it be cheesy! It's not about the ugly backdrop and silly posing....it's about that adorable little miracle baby of ours...growing right before our eyes. She's pretty much amazing....We think so anyways!
So Happy Belated Father's Day to all of the amazing Daddies & Pop-pops out there. I knew I married a keeper way back when and I loved him a lot, but it wasn't until I saw him with my daughter that I realized my love for this man would never be the same. Quin and I are pretty lucky ladies to have him in our lives. We love you, Ry!

Seasons
I grew up on the east coast...so I'm a huge
"seasons" girl. I seriously love them all, for a million different
reasons. And it goes without saying that whatever season is coming up
next becomes my new "favorite". What can I say? I love the change, the holidays, the anticipation...
Well, this weekend was the first time it really started to feel like summer around here (and it had nothing to do with the 90+ degree weather, I promise). We swam all day, ate dinner on patios, and Q had her first experience with the ice cream truck. It was heaven. I think it's safe to say that summer is my absolute favorite season of all.
...for now.

Testing
If you followed the thread on our facebook page regarding resizing and uploading images to the web, this may be helpful for you. Both images were saved with the same editing, both at 960/640, 300dpi, one as jpeg, the other as png, using MCP Facebook Fix resize and sharpening actions.
What's your preference? I know mine...

Going on a Bug Hunt...
...aka making "location scouting" for mama, fun for everyone.
right.
At least she found a big hairy caterpillar towards the end.
And mama found some amazing light.
It was a win-win.
:)
And of course, a bathie is a must after trekking through the bug-ridden outdoors.
I super nature-y, can't you tell?
