James is ONE!

Happy first birthday James! I had the pleasure of photographing James shortly after his first birthday, but before the actual birthday party. Let's just say he will be entertaining at his party! He dove right into the cake, and I have never seen such a mess! It was so much fun, and James loved every minute of it... right up until we started trying to get the cake out from between his toes and out of his eyelashes! :)

On a side note, clean up went much more smoothly this time since I didn't let the cake crust to my floor!

New Referral Program!

I'm so excited to announce my new referral program! For the many few of you that loyally read my blog... yes, YOU! :) The greatest compliment that I can receive is a good recommendation, and so I give you my thanks through a new program. For every session booked through a referral, both you and the person you referred will receive a FREE 8x10 print! I am thoroughly enjoying my time with you and your families, and I truly appreciate the opportunity to work for you!

And just for fun, a picture of my cutie pie on her birthday a few weeks ago. :)

Mother of the year!

It is now quite obvious to me that I am an AWESOME mother. My poor child is wearing his coat from last year. We couldn't find his snow boots. The mismatched hat. And not to mention my mittens... You know, since I'm prepared for the season and have purchased some that might actually FIT him. AWESOME.

The frozen tundra

It is OCTOBER people! It is not supposed to be freezing cold and snowing! Kudos to the Beltman family for sticking it out in the cold, wet weather! Devin was a trooper, and Aubrey did great, despite being obviously cold and changed into several different outfits. We didn't get many smiles out of her, but I really can't blame her! I think my nice, Indian Summer for photography is officially over... did it ever really start?

Mia 7 months

Yes, I did manage to make another baby cry! We did pretty good with Mia until I tried to put her in a basket. We lost her! She was a trooper though and cheered right up after we put her in the tutu. She had a contagious smile... I could just eat those little cheeks right up!

I have a new favorite thing!

It's called istock photo! I could spend all night playing around with the different textures and backgrounds that can be applied to my photos, but sometime I'm going to have to go to bed! There is so much learning to be had, and I can't seem to get enough! I had a maternity session with my bestest, best friend Heather and her family last week, and we had FUN! At one point during the session I was literally rolling around in the grass laughing.

The sex of baby #4 is unknown... I'm hoping for a boy, but with three girls already, what are the odds? I'm guessing that we will find out on November 6th, sometime early morning :)

Scott and Heather are a beautiful couple, and truly in love. These two love to laugh, and we had a little bit of a hard time getting some serious pictures... lots of laughing in between! And I'm not going to talk of the unspeakable things (and smells) that occurred when Scott was laying opposite of Heather with his head near her bottom. YIKES! Love you guys!
