Twas the night before the night before Christmas!!

Just wanted to share a few images of my little Santa! Isn't he the cutest little elf?

I'm sure there is a present in here for you, let me take a look!
Oh my looks like you've been too naughty!

Congrats Miss A!!

Congratulations to #1 Miss A, on winning the end of the year contest! It was a very close race up to the end, so I asked a few professional photographers from a forum that I visit to help in the judging. Thank you to all of my great customers from 2007 for such a wonderful year, I look forward to seeing everyone through my lens again next year!

Visit the blog next week to help in voting for the Best 2008 Senior Image!

Last Senior of the year!

I had the privilege of photographing this gorgeous senior this summer and then again this past week. We even ventured out in the beautiful snow!

He knows if you've been bad or good!!

These 2 were so stinkin' cute, red hair and lots of spunk! I love the way these images turned out from their family session. I do have to say that I think Santa needs to eat lots of Milk and Cookies this Christmas Eve, his pants are looking a little baggy!

Hope everyone is safe and warm!

Here is 1 image, edited 3 ways, of the ice hanging off my children's swing set. The first is the way the ice looks naturally, the 2nd is with a hint of blue to cool things off, and the 3rd is a negative view. Which one do you like best?

I wondered around my yard this morning taking pictures of this beautiful ice. It is kinda creepy sounding out there as the wind blows and the ice laden trees creak and moan under the weight. We haven't lost power, but my mom called this morning to tell me that there are trees limbs down and they are without electricity. I guess areas south of Gage County were hit harder by the ice storm.

Winter Wonderland!

I love snow! I always have, when I was a little girl I would spend hours outside playing in the snow, building igloos, and sledding. I was so excited to get to take Sawyer out in the new snow yesterday. We took a walk around the neighborhood, and of course I took my camera. Sawyer loves snow now too, but mostly he loves to eat it!!

Have I ever told you how much I love close-ups?

I promised this sweet family a sneak peek, and I am just now getting around to getting them on here. I will have the rest of your images ready by tomorrow morning.

Mr. Adorable

What do you get when you cross the cutest little fauxhawk, big beautiful blue eyes, chubby pinchable cheeks, and a sweet little pout? Meet Mr. B aka Mr. Adorable!! Although he didn't give me as many smiles as his mom would have liked I think I was able to get a few keepers.
