You may think it's early

...but these book up fast! I am already scheduling Halloween Mini Sessions. They are short and sweet and book quickly, so call and book your session soon! Here is the flyer that I am putting up around town with some more info.

So, have I ever mentioned....

that my kiddos LOVE dressing up? Lol...because they DO!! Do your children like dressing up? Just leave a comment on my blog telling me what they were for Halloween last year, and get the chance to receive a free customized announcement/invitation/card design made by yours truly. Coolio, huh? Ü I will pick a winner at random at 4:00pm central time, on Tuesday September 2nd.

Love is in the air

Two posts in one day?? I know. Crazy. That is because I have the best clients ever!! Seriously--how adorable are these guys? (sorry, but you are!!) They are so striking, and so in love. Thank you J & P!!!

The Divine Miss M...

I am so lucky to be able to photograph little Miss M and her mommy! They have graced this blog before, and here they are again! Have you ever met a more photogenic pair?








I dub thee; Sassy Sasserton ...lol!!

So--it's just me...

Hello readers! (I so appreciate you! ♥ )

You may or may not have noticed that I changed my image on the 'how I'm different' page on my website. A good friend of mine took the pictures, and she did a fantastic job! (Esp. considering what she had to work with!!)

I am soooo weirded out when I am on the other side of the lens...that's why the photos of me are very few and far between. But--I figured--if I get hit by a bus tomorrow my kiddos derserve to have a picture of their mamma--kwim?

The first one is the image I put up on www.joyfulphoto.com . The second and third are just for fun! (Btw like the new hair color?? Ü )





Hmmmmmm, this must be what I look like to my kids most of the time!!!

Laura Ingalls Wilder anyone?

This is what my session this evening made me think of. I am geeking out over the sunny, happy, vintage-y feel to these.

I was honored to spend my evening with Miss M and her mommy--and here are just some of my favorites!

And so....

As the summer draws near its end...I was inspired to post this photograph. (Can you tell where my kids spend alot of their time in the summer??)

I look forward to sharing my life and my business with you, all right here. I'm thinking about starting a special contest next week--so stay tuned.

As your kids troop back to school and the weather starts getting cooler, remember to cherish every fleeting moment! Enjoy these last dog days of summer.....

It's a baby blog!

Welcome to the very first post on my very first blog! I have completely stayed up waaaay to late putting it together, so let me just leave you with this snapshot:



My two little squirts having fun in the wading pool on a hot summer's day! I will be back posting more good stuff soon!
