Tis the time for dance


Here's a group shot from a group of little dancers I recently shot. And I don't think anyone was in red out of the whole group! I've seen a lot of red little dancers this year!
Cute-cute!

Prom 08


















I really enjoyed the chance to do some prom portraits for a few of these young people. I hope they are having a great time and since I promised I'd put a few images on my blog...I'm keeping my end of the promise. And then I'm turning in! They looked fabulous~ Happy Prom, People!









How many licks does it take....


and what does it take to make a little boy very happy? Not much...just his blankie and a sucker and he's good to go!

Carter and Lily







You just never know really, who is going to be camera shy and who is going to love the limelight. I had em pegged wrong again. Carter was Mr. Photogenic and Lily was not too impressed with her photo-shoot, and chose more contemplative expressions for her look over cheesy smiles.



They are both as cute as can be!

MOMMY CARDS




MOMMY CARDS are here!


What are mommy cards you might ask? Go ahead....ask!


They offer a stylish and hip new option instead of scribbling your name and number on some random scrap of paper you find when you meet a new friend. Mini portrait, slash, business card meets cool wallet option. Great to give teachers, friends at PTO, new contacts, etc. And let me tell you, GRANDMOTHERS think they are the best thing yet! I bet no one else at Pinochle Club has anything like it. (yes I had to look up how to spell pinochle). :)


The cards are two sided and slicky-shiny- yummy and I LOVE em!


Pricing starts at $45 for 50 cards plus creation fee.
BUT, if you order before May 6th, the creation fee is FREE and knock $5 off the total price. :)


I'll also waive reposting fee from any 07-08 session.


They make great Mother's Day Gifts as well. (For you or Grandma).
Give me a call or drop me a line with questions. Special ends May 6th~ don't forget!

A new storyboard design


Here's a new storyboard design I created using some of Sofia's dance images.
Next week I have a chance to meet a whole new set of dancers in Windom. What fun!

Back from Florida!






























We're back from sunny Florida! Even though we took family vacation in September to Disney World, through some unforeseen circumstances with DH's work we had an opportunity to return again! (We're hoping Sofie understands the concept that we will NOT be going to Disney World every 6 months). We really had a great stay at the Yacht Club and the weather was perfect. Since we were just there we took this opportunity to do things at a little more relaxed pace. Here's some images of our adventure. (Calvin is very proud of his Sleeping Beauty kiss).

Housekeeping

Just a quick post about some general 'housekeeping' here. As you may have seen, our studio will be closed next week.

I've done some maintenance on my website~ if you are unable to access certain pages as you were before, please drop me a note and I'll see what I can do for you.

Thank you!

"Quinn-cess"




Quinn-cess the Princess! This princess is ready to hit the beach- that is...IF we every get warm weather here in this tundra called Minnesota! But Quinn is dressed to the nines, as always, and I just had so much fun with her. You'd never guess she wasn't in the mood for portraits.


She is simply adorable as can be!

Yummy!


Isn't little Garrett just yummy? I love the subdued colors of this image, the way the lighting pops his eyes, and his expression and his cute little piggies sticking up. Garrett is just 3 months old but I can't believe how much he has grown and changed since his newborn pictures at just a week or so old! I guess 3 months can make a big difference!
I'm working hard to get caught up before vacation next week. Look for more of Garrett in the next few days. The studio will be closed beginning next Tuesday April 15 thru Monday 21st. Please plan accordingly if you have questions on order, for pick-ups or inquiries.
Thank you!

Mady's got style!


One of the things that people really like about the Show Your Style mini-sessions is that they get to do just that- SHOW their STYLE! Mady took advantage of that opportunity to be a little different, a little funky, a little daring- with red highlights in her hair! TOO COOL! Leave it to Mady to do things a little differently. I wonder if she'll wear it that way for the recital.....hmmmm....? Now THAT I'd like to see! :)

RED!


Gotta love that color! I photographed a lot of little red girls this weekend~ red costumed girls that is! Kendell was just one of several 'red' girls that got her dance portraits taken. I know another little red girl named Sofie that has yet to get her own dance portraits taken....I think her mother better get on the ball!

You Go Girl!


Abby- the little go-getter herself. She couldn't resist bringing in a pair of sunglasses to her dance mini-session. I'd say they suit her pretty well! I love all the pretty colors of all the great dance costumes, but I just thought this one called for a little black and white pizzazz! With two older brothers a girl needs a little attitude. Abby...you go girl!

RIBBIT!




The Show Your Stuff Mini-Sessions aren't just for dance, as Grant is here to show. The play HONK! features Grant as one of the froggie actors...and now Grant has the froggie portraits to remember his debut by! Ribbit!

Show Your Stuff and Dance Portraits are here~







Well, with snow on the ground...the only sign of spring today is all the beautiful girls in their bright dance costumes that I am nearly finished proofing from session one last week. Oh! I love all the colors and pretty costumes. I have just a few openings remaining for the sessions Friday and Saturday. If you know anyone who hasn't booked yet, please send them the blog link and have them give me a call or email. I've added some new artistic creation designs, new storyboard designs and other fun items to remember this fun FUN time with.
