Packer Family

Garza kids

This cute family is saying good bye to cold Idaho weather and moving to warm Arizona. Boo cause we are going to miss them! Here is one of the kiddos cause I just couldn't wait. I'll do a bigger post soon.

Oh how I love babies...

I've been dying for some babies to practice on and man..they all came at once. Taking pictures of babies is a whole different experience. You are definitely on their time schedule. You might as well just plan on a whole afternoon when there is a baby in the studio cause they are just so fun. I have been busy learning how to knit so I could make cute baby knit hats, wraps and cocoons. My neighbor made this adorable hat that Rebecca has on. Doesn't it just melt your heart! Thanks Shelly for coming over and letting me practice on your sweet baby.

Rebecca

My husbands secretaries Angie and Nikki both had their babies two days apart, which made for an interesting couple of weeks. I was trying to fill in and do my best to help Matt so he didn't get too overloaded and kill over. There's no amount of Thank you's I can give to these two amazing girls for helping and doing a great job for my husband. So the least I could do is take some precious pictures of their precious new babies! Congrats girls and both of your babies are beautiful!

{Nikki} Wesley

Wesley's coming back for some more fun on Thursday...so check back to see more baby lovin!

Austin

Don't you just love Austin's hair. I love it! It's late so I'll do more of Austin tomorrow.

Brynlee

Brynlee is Olivia's BFF. They are inseparable and in fact are starting to act more like sisters than just friends. We had so much fun playing with my new petticoats. Wouldn't you just love to have eyes that color and skin that soft. Lucky Girl.

Brand New Baby Wanted and More Classes.

Tonight I made a splurge of a purchase. Of course, it has to do with another photography prop. My husband either rolls his eyes or laughs every time I come home with another old {new} treasure for myself. I thought about taking a picture to show everyone, but I would rather it be a surprise with an actual baby inside. So now that I have you wondering what this fantastic new prop is...listen on.

So here's the deal...I am looking for a brand new baby to help me play with my new prop. This new babe needs to be less than 2 weeks old. I don't know any expecting mothers who are ready to pop so if you are or know someone who is send them my way. I will offer you a smokin' deal of a photo session. Let me reassure you, you will not want to pass this one up.

I am still going to post some before and afters of my photoshop class it just has to get in line. We had a great time and I love to see what everyone has been doing.

More Classes

I am thinking about teaching a basic photography class and another advanced photography class. If anyone out there is interested let me know so I can actually get serious about it. This time around we are going to have some fun prizes, like maybe a fantastic Lastolite Tri-Grip reflector or even a Expodisc for doing a custom white balance. So if you want to take a class and want to get started in on the fun, blog about me on your blog {get one entry} and put a link back to me so we can spread the word {get a second entry}. Get the idea? Leave me a comment about who you are and we will get a drawing going. Once we get enough people ready for a class I will draw a winner! (Also tell me which prize you would want.)

Rockin' Babe!

It's amazing how fast kids grow up. Tonight when I was editing these pictures my husband asked, "Who is that...Is that Isabella?????" He couldn't believe it. He almost didn't recognize her. Granted he sees her everyday and maybe the hat threw him off, but still she's not one of our babies anymore. I attempted to take some of Max also but it just wasn't happening. We were running out of light and time, so maybe tomorrow he will be our rockin' dude?!

Perfect Class...Perfect Model

What a perfect day for a Photography class. I had the best students. Here is a little preview of our stunning model. After our Photoshop class on this upcoming Wednesday, I'll post some of the before and after shots of what the girls learned...so stay tuned.

Baby Ayvree

Ayvree is the sweetest little baby. And in fact a little spoiled. She wanted to be held the whole time. Thanks M for letting me photography your little sweetie! Here's a look at Ayvree.

I told ya so.

I knew July 1st would come before we knew it.

I still have a few spots left in my Mastering Manual Photography class.

There are only 5 days left to sign up.

Don't wait till the last minute and miss out.

If you want to sign up please pay before or on July 8th

so I can plan all the goodies for my fabulous students.

Finally a day without rain!

It's been raining here for almost the whole month of June. So on Friday when there was a break in the clouds we headed outside. One good thing about all this rain is it makes everything so green and beautiful.
