Dog Photography






Yes, we do pet photography! Our pets are members of our families, so why shouldn't we have beuatiful and fun portraits to remember them by forever? Lucy and Buster were fantastic and aren't their little doggie expressions just priceless? Just bring some treats and some patience!

NorthStars PeeWees Hockey


Yes, I'll admit I was a little nervous after telling the team they should bring their sticks into the studio. (14) 12 and 13 year old boys in a small space, expensive equipment with hockey sticks? Might not have been a good idea. They were LOUD but they were well behaved....in fact, probably the best I have ever seen this bunch since kindergarten. These boys are BOYS... pushing and shoving, laughing and yelling. But a great bunch of boisterous boys. I had to yell a couple times myself to be heard over the controlled chaos. But I think after I "proved" myself last weekend, the boys knew not to mess with me too much. LOL. And in the end we came up with a couple great posters for our State Tournament. Good Luck NorthStar PeeWees. It was a great and fun season. As Mason said, "Best season so far"!

What is more precious that a new little baby? Little Farrah was very bright eyed for only 2 weeks old, but she couldn't have been a more perfect little model. I am just loving having all these new fresh little ones in the studio! Can't wait to see here again for her 3 month Milestone's photos. She is sure to have some chubby little cheeks by then.

Happy Birthday, Tori!



Another sweet birthday girl! I love how her Milestone's Storyboard turned out. Her mom did a great job of thinking of outfits that would all coordinate at the end of the year for a cohesive panel, showing all her stages...holding her head up, sitting, standing with help and standing and walking on her own. What a first year and I am so honored to be a little part of it.
And don't you just love her birthday cake? It's so fun when cakes are brought into the studio!

It was great having a senior in the studio again. I love working with them, their ideas, their fashion. This session was kind of like a shot in the arm of photography enthusiasm in the middle of a cold winter. Thanks for a fun afternoon, Alesha!

Newborn

There is so much that is inpsiring about newborn photos....the hope and the anticipation for the future is wrapped up in such a tiny little package. I seem to be at a loss for words, so I'll let the photos do the talking. Cliche, but true.










The best time to bring your newborn in for photos is, well, as soon as you possibly can. This time goes by so quickly and babies pass from the newborn phase into the sweetness of an infant in the blink of an eye. These were all done before the baby was even a week old! The studio will be warm and cozy. We will alot several hours for the session and take our time, allowing time for feeding and snuggling. You may even want to schedule your newborn session before the baby is born, and we will shuffle the time around if needed.

Graduation Announcement Time

I have been spending a lot of time on graphic design and have a bunch of new grad announcements for the new TwentyTen graduates. Go check them out - they range from clean and sleek to animal prints and grungy. And, in most cases background colors, accent colors, fonts, etc. can be coordinated to your photo choices. So, when browsing through the announcements look at the overall design that catches your eye. Consider the concept, the photo and text placement and then we can customize it to make it just as unique as you are!
