All-Stars!

I finally got to shoot an All-Star game today!
Here are some of my favorites....







What a great day!

I also want to wish my husband and all the other fathers out there a Happy Fathers' Day!

Poster unveiled...

I've been doing sports shots for the past 3 years...generally at an hourly rate with a CD, or digital downloads per file.
Anyway, I saw that there were photographers out there selling 16x20 posters of one shot. So I went through some of the pictures I had of my kids and made composites. The one above is of my daughter Brianna, and is one of the samples that I am having printed to present to clients.
I am hoping it goes over pretty well with my client base.

A month is too long....

To not be bloggin'!

Things have calmed down quite a bit. I had some grads come through (see below), proms, baseball/softball, and I met with several potential wedding clients. In one week I have booked FOUR weddings for the winter! WOW!
I do have some softball left - its ALL-STAR time, and I am excited about the girls playing in the tournament. I stepped down as manager and I put my husband Tim in my spot. So now I will get to stand in the bleachers, cheer, and....you guessed it - TAKE PICTURES!!!!
I also have something special that I am working on for sports. I saw an idea at one of the fields and decided to put my own special spin on it. I hope to have it ready to show later on in the week.

But for now,

Here is my most recent grad client...


Isn't he handsome? He is very well mannered and while we were shooting he pulled out that diploma for a pose and I simply had this feeling of pride. Another young person who had finished one section in his journey of life and is on to the next stage.
Congrats on your graduation, Clayton!

Cute Boys!

Its not often that I get families with little boys! I got lucky last week with these two:



The older one was SO shy when I first met him almost a year ago. I didn't think he was ever going to let me take his picture!
But last week was different! He showed me a bunch of his toys and he is a big Thomas the Tank Engine fan! I think I may have some around the house that he can have since my kids are too old.
I think I got a little carried away with him - I got tons of shots of him by himself.


The baby is absolutely gorgeous! Such a quiet and peaceful little guy! Not quite a newborn, but I could tell that he had already changed so much within his six weeks.

I am going back on Sunday to get some more shots!

Weekend work!!

Last weekend I went out to one of my favorite client's house to take pictures of her side of the family. Her children are gorgeous, as usual, all the girls in matching dresses.
The youngest, Peyton....

YAY!!!
And I can't always please everyone.....



Its been a whirlwind of a week, more baseball photos to come...
