Can anyone guess what time it is????

Yes....I know it's hot outside, but it's not too late to start thinking of the Holidays.  Many of you have already booked your holiday session with me so I wanted to give you a little peek at some of the Holiday cards that I will be offering this year.  In case you are wondering....you don't have to book another session with me to order cards.  If you just recently had your session and you want to use an image to order cards at a later time (don't wait too long), you may do that.  Just let me know the image number of the image or images you are wanting to use and we will go from there.  I will no longer be offering the "photocard" this year.  The cards will ALL be press printed with a variety of finishes to choose from.  I will have samples on hand for viewing at your sessions, but for now....here are some sample images of a few of the cards that I will be offering.  Aren't they beautiful!!!

**ALL HOLIDAY CARD ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21ST.

i know i've said it before.....

but I LOVE MY JOB.  Not just because I love taking pictures and capturing those precious family memories....but because I get to meet so many wonderful people and special families.  

When Holly first contacted me she told me that she had been stalking my blog for some time and with #2 on the way....she knew she wanted me to photograph her boys.  She is a wonderful mother and has two beautiful kiddos....we had lots of fun.

Thanks Holly for entrusting me to capture these special memories in your life.  Enjoy....

baby blues and a tutu.....

Would you look at the baby blues on this little cutie.  "L" had THE cutest smile and beautiful blue eyes.  I think we had to be shooting on one of THE hottest days this summer....we were all melting, but "L" was a trooper.  :)

THIS has to be my favorite image from the day.....she's such a doll.

I had an opportunity to do something that I don't get to do very often....and I had so much fun.  We met at a local park to kick things off and then headed down town for a FUN urban engagement session.  Thanks again Rachel and Jeff!!  Good luck to you guys on the "Big" day.....

Boys will be boys.....

Having all girls...it's always fun to meet up with little boys who are so full of energy.  These little guys couldn't have been cuter or more fun.  Chelssy and Dana, it was so much fun meeting you guys and your adorable little family.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek....your gallery will be ready next week.  

and really....can you think of a better way to cool off after a HOT August photo session???

I will be out of the office from 9/09 - 9/13.  I will return all calls and e-mails once I return on 9/14.  For those of you who have already placed your orders, those packages will be sent out next week once I return home.  I'm off to Disney Land........

As promised....

here are some photos of Cabo.  Talk about paradise.  The water was absolutely amazing.  My husband went deep sea fishing the first two days we were there (kind of a work thing), so I decided to take a city tour the first day and take a spa day the second.  My city tour took us on a glass bottom boat out to the arch and then to the glass blowing factory in Cabo and to some other fun stops as well.  

When we first arrived in Cabo and got to our hotel...I never expected the view to be so beautiful.  The first image is a view from our suite during the day and the second was taken at night.  It was gorgeous....we just opened the window and listened to the ocean.

The first stop on my City Tour took us to the Marina where we boarded a glass bottom boat and jetted out to the arch...El Arco.  AMAZING!!!  We even saw a few sea lions along the way.

So....on the glass blowing.  What an art.  It was so amazing to watch the skill of these young men.  To think it all started with a bunch of recycled broken pieces of glass....

These last few pictures were taken the last couple of days in Paradise.  The last night we were there....a really impressive storm was rolling in.  I was able to capture this....

And these were snapped on our way out of town the airport.  Our cab driver stopped for a few minutes at this amazing lookout.  

Anyone want to head to Cabo San Lucas?????  

Back from Cabo....

and trying to catch up.  I got some beautiful pictures and I promise to share them just as soon as I get my galleries finished up.  Client's come first.  :) 

It seems like as if all my babies from last year are turning one all at the same time.  I have gotten to celebrate soooo many birthdays lately.  This is Mr. "W".  I just LOVE red heads.....don't you????

Michelle, I promise to have the gallery up by Wednesday.....I'm almost done.  Until then, here are few of my faves from "W's" session.  I have to say that the watermelon was genius!

and last but now least....my VERY favorite image from this session.  Doesn't it just scream SUMMER?
