WE’RE HEADED TO COLORADO FOR A MINI VACAY :)  We’re totally excited and have been planning for just a few days. And didn’t actually know if it was really happening until 8:00 tonight. But it’s on! Gotta love being married to a guy that is totally stoked to pack it up at the last second and bust out of Ohio. 

 

I will be working on the way down. (ya, we’re totally driving the ENTIRE trip with no overnights.) So if you’re expecting your post-holiday set of photos or galleries on the 4th, there will be no delays. 

You can reach me via email or phone on Wednesday 12/30. Then busy skiing, snowboarding, snowshoe hiking, ice skating, dining, watching the OSU game, and snuggling up to a fire with Matt in a warm little house in Evergreen. I’ll be back in the office on 1/4 with lots of pictures.  

Think we packed enough granola?

AND HOPE YOU HAD A RELAXING, THOUGHTFUL AND FAMILY-FILLED CHRISTMAS!!!

These crazy cats were FREEZING by the time we were done. That’s what happens when you plaster your soon-to-be with hand-fulls of snow ;)

On the less crazy side, here were a couple pics that stopped me today. Beth’s laugh had me smiling behind the camera. It’s contagious!

Oh…and I tried something new with the processing. You like?

Best gift opening smiles

December 27, 2009

I left my camera at the house after the Gray family Christmas. But I have photos from tonight’s Mt. Vernon Christmas with the Byrdy’s. Of course I shoot people opening their gifts to catch their face, but sometimes the best face is of the one giving the gift!

Mel wins best gift-giver face…

Mike wins best gift-getter face. This was him opening his new OSU stuff to proudly display on his desk at work in Huntsville, AL.

Jim (matt’s dad) couldn’t keep his hands off his Stauf’s coffee.

Then things got a little trashed

Fun times at the Byrdy Christmas.

Now that gifts have been opened and our bellies are stuffed with Karen’s homemade wedding soup, the fire is blazing and we’re sitting down for a movie. Great night… hope yours is lovely too:)

I hurried home from this morning’s session and started sifting through the 1500 images. Can’t WAIT to start working on them!

Love this shot because Eric has the best face. Looks like he’s singing Christmas Carols to the family…or maybe he’s making fun of me. I guess I can be a bit ridiculous at shoots :)

More awesomeness from one of my 2009 seniors!

Do you remember this shot from the preview?

I told you he rocked and I SO wasn’t joking. 

Finally ready to share…

These feels a little more Ralph Lauren to me…

I’m not sure his color combo could have been any better for the setting.

Note to senior guys (and girls!): It makes a world of difference when you come to me knowing the style that suites you best. Brock knew who he was and what he style was. He even had a name for it. This made it super easy for me to run through locations and describe the settings I felt would best compliment his personal style.

If you’re not sure exactly what your style is, feel free to bring a couple of your favorite outfits to our consult and we’ll talk through it together!

I have creative clients. And I’m proud of it:)

Here is some of their work using a photo from our session!

Corey and Liz’s card featured little Becca this year, using a photo from her 1st birthday session.

LOVE what the Ruoff’s did…

Sunday Dec 6 – The Ruoff’s. Norm (the yellow lab) didn’t get the spotlight in this year’s Christmas card. Kelly – far right – has a pretty sweet idea for this photo. Maybe she’ll let me share when it’s done:)

Keep in mind…

December 4, 2009

You can always turn your family shoot into an album! I offer different options for albums, in a range of prices so you can get a high-quality album for less or spend until your heart is content:)  

And the 5×7 size makes a great stocking stuffer at Christmas (sorry to temp you now…this’ll have to be for next Christmas!)

This baby…and a few others…will be headed to Africa this weekend for the Miller family to enjoy~

 

 

5x7-3

5x7-4

5x7-5

The pages of the albums were designed by Carrie Krebbeks. A little perk to ordering albums through me: They’re gonna be crazy-ridiculously cute after Carrie gets her hands on them:)

 

I’ll try to remember to publish pics as albums arrive so you can see the many different options!

And the catching-up continues:) 

I’d be lying if I said I’m posting all my favorites for you here because there were a whole lot more I wanted to share. But I need to stop somewhere! The Hoops were one of many families this fall that combined a milestone shoot of their child with some lifestyle family session time. Happy to do it and especially love when I know there’s another session coming in the near future to watch these cuties grow!

Meet: the back of Ally’s head. The hair bows are adorable and worthy of their own picture.

Jonathan played soccer in college so naturally little Ally would be a little soccer buff.

I don’t even remember what was happening here. It’s just cute.

Sometimes a mistake isn’t really a mistake. Lovin the action shot. They were all over the ground!
