special moments...

as a photographer i am often in the position to share in the moments that make up a lifetime of memories...the expectation of a new addition to the family, the birth of a baby, a birthday celebration, an engagement, graduation, a family photoshoot ~ and this little guy is no exception with the celebration of his recent baptism.


his parents brought with him a couple of special items that will forever make these photos treasured ~ the bear was a gift from his grandmother that says a special prayer each time it is squeezed; the beautiful blanket lining the basket belonged to his mom when she was young; and he also has on a bracelet engraved with his name and baptismal date.

next time you are looking through old family photos stop to think about the items surrounding the person...sometimes these special items, along with your memories of the moment, are captured on film. as someone that gets to share in these moments with each of the families i work with, thank you. i hope these photos along with your memories will be treasured forever.

more about storyboards...

many of you have asked about story boards after seeing my product guide and asked exactly what are they?

here is a sample, you typically take multiple photos and put it into a layout (aka collage)...i have tons of templates that vary in size from 5x30 (with 5 photo openings) to 40x60 (with 8 photo openings). this particular one is sized in 16x20, so you would either order it in a mounted print or a canvas of that size.

storyboards work well when you have a hard time deciding exactly which photo to choose and want to have them all. it is best if they fall into the same story line (these are all from a newborn session) but you could also do one after a Watch Me Grow package ~ so you would include a newborn, 4 month, 8 month, and 12 month photo. i even have one from a senior session after not being able to decide on my favorites...just ask for more information if interested.

finding the right words??

I will admit it, keeping up with my blog is a struggle. At first I thought I'd just use it for a sneak peek at sessions and cool articles, then lately I haven't even done that. So, my new thing for today ~ find a saying that fits the family. This one says it all about Family L.

You are the tiniest thing I ever decided to put my whole life into.

I look forward to watching your beautiful girls grow...thanks for sharing this moment!
