8x8 finao session albums

Awhile back on facebook, I mentioned an exciting new product I'd be offering and I have finally gotten around to posting some images of this very classy, handmade album by finao. You will want one when you see it!

I am in love with this product for many reasons. First, the smell. That awesome leather smell hits you right when you open the box. No faux leather here! Secondly, the cover options. Finao offers endless options in classic leather as well as vibrant colored leather, embossed leather, metallic leather. I could go on. Let's just say there is something available for every personality or decor. Last, but not least, is the 30 pages. This allows clients to have just about all their session images in one place to cherish for a lifetime. This album is a great heirloom piece to pass on to your children.

I'd love to get this sample in your hands to look at! The images below just don't cut it. Next on the list is to make one for my own family!

18 months!

“I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.” Shel Silverstein

This quote sums up Miss L. She is such a little lover. Daily, she is full of hugs and kisses for most anyone and loves to laugh and roll around with her sister. She is busy, busy, busy! Loves to vacuum and clean things with baby wipes. She helps herself to the cereal and has even graduated to getting her own bowl. She has hit the stage where she will not think of doing anything unless she can do it by herself!

I think children are complete miracles. What a blessing and a joy to be able to raise this sweet girl.

Daydreaming

This cold weather has me daydreaming of being somewhere warm and sunny. I was looking through my photos today as I gear up for a girlfriends' photo catch-up weekend and came across lots of palm tree filled photos. Photos of my family splashing in the pool and having a great time. It was almost this time last year we were in Palm Spring, CA, escaping this crazy weather! How I long for that weather right now! As I looked at the photos, and past my desire to get out of this freeze-box of a city, I realized that it wasn't just the great scenery that committed those memories to my heart (ok, it helped). It was the act of being together and having fun as a family. Without all the competing to-dos stealing our attention. My aha was that I could create that experience right here, right now if I wanted. We don't need no stinkin' Palm Springs! So I pledged to do just that. I will shut off {some of} the to-dos and make some memories now, that I will commit to my heart always! I challenge you to do the same...


Here's a few more. I love to see my girls with their daddy. They light up when they are with him. There's nobody else on earth but him, that loves them like I do! Sigh. ;)

Brrrrr!

It was cold last Saturday! I had the pleasure of photographing these three in their home last weekend. It was a good plan, as Saturday was not as warm as we'd hoped! So we were able to pop in and out to keep warm, which was very nice. Thanks for having me. I'll be in touch real soon with the rest!

The Lake Family

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy a few of the Lake kiddos.

Maisy: 1 year!

I can't believe Maisy is one year old! I will miss seeing this family every three months. You get to know clients when you see them that much. They become friends. Miss Maisy is such a sweet soul. Happy birthday Miss M! Hope to see you more in the next year.

The Coles - peeps group 4

(see THIS POST for the peeps reference) This fine family is also in our Thursday night dinner group. Like the others from our group, we've known each other awhile now and gone on many a trip together. Fun trips. I miss those trips! We are on a hiatus from trips for awhile. I actually knew Stephanie's older brother before I really knew her. I'm so glad we connected and have stayed friends through the years. They are a great family!

The Millers

I always love spending time photographing this family! I am so grateful they continue to chose me to document their family. Enjoy a few from Saturday!

Hernbloom Family

I had a lot of fun at this session. I know getting portraits taken can be stressful on parents with little children. I get it. I have a couple of those little children myself. Even though I love a good posed family shot, it's so fun to have all the fun shots that really show personalities. The action shots. The silly shots. The laughing shots. That's why I like this first one below. There are many great family shots in the bunch, but this one is one of those they'll look back and get a chuckle out of. One that will make them say to themselves, "I remember that time," instead of "What year was that?"

Enjoy.

Laura: Senior Year

I had so much fun doing this session and getting to know Laura and her parents! It was very difficult to choose which images to show because I love so many of them! We headed downtown for her senior session and found some fun spots. If you have a high school senior or know of one that needs to schedule a session, call soon. We can still get them in this next month!

Laura, ENJOY the rest of your senior year!

Nelsons

Thanks for being so patient waiting for your sneak peek! I enjoyed walking the park with your family and watching your girls enjoy their grandparents! Enjoy a few from our time together.
