Summer shoots are Sweeet!!!

>> Friday, June 25, 2010 – portraits

Had a blast photographing this little girl while I had her in my care for the day! These are taken with a simple Point and shoot camera so I was happy to get a few good ones. I must get her back for an official photo session! Can you imagine if I used my Nikon and actually HAD it at hand! (Note to self: when babysitting beautiful little girls - do not leave the camera in the trunk of hubby's car and let him go to work!!) She is so sweet and adorable!

Rookie Baseball at an end

>> Wednesday, June 23, 2010 – lifestyle, portraits

Well, my son's baseball season has come to an end. His last game was on Saturday! No more dirty, grass-stained pants, sweaty shirts, lost baseball caps, and relentless running around! Whew! Although I will miss the team and the great kids we met.

The boys were so excited to get their trophies...

Blogger space!!

Ok, so I am so very sorry to be in blog space and not have been posting. I have quite a bit that I am working on right now and with no excuses just have been plain ole busy! I do promise to keep you updated a bit more than this. I have been working on an art blog for some summer classes that I will be teaching so that has been a bit time consuming. I will post the link as soon as I have it up and running.

Also in the works is getting a new NIKON camera. Ancient, yet well-loved is my film camera but I would like to step it up a notch and go digital. I have a ton of slides and negatives to get scanned in as well (reason for the blog lag) but, in due time my friends. Please stay tuned and I promise to post more once I slow down a bit! Thanks a bunch!!!

Photo and Scrapbooking Gift Basket

>> Thursday, May 20, 2010 – products

It's that time of year again when my son's school hosts their annual Penny Social. Each class submits a themed basket to raise funds for school trips, cultural arts and environmental programs, along with other great events for the children. My son's class worked on a Photo/Scrapbook themed basket. Many great parents from his class donated some photo albums, personalized photo pens, stickers and fun embellishments. I contributed by offering a GIFT Certificate for a free photo session of choice along with a free storyboard print. I also added a handmade, plush photo frame and a customizable scrapbook page.

Here are some photos of the basket that I created. If anyone is interested in purchasing a gift basket in similarity drop me an email and we can work together to create a wonderful gift basket. What a great way to surprise someone with a gift for a free photo session and some great photo and scrapbook items.
