What a precious addition to this wonderful family!!! I had such a fantastic time with these guys, and I just *adore* mom.  We had to break up the session into two parts, and the second day I arrived at her house she had  SATC on in the living room where we were shooting. If you know me at ALL, you know that was probably the most fantastic surprise – ever.  :)  Kayden was sleeping peacefully, we were chatting away while I was snapping photographs, and Carrie Bradshaw was on in the background.

::swoon::  :)

You know how you meet people and you just click with them?  Yep – she was great AND she took one look at my very chipped, darn it, I KNEW I shoulda polished my nails before I left nail polish and exclaimed, “Pompeii Purple!!”.  We both ONLY wear that color.  It’s the best OPI color, just in case you are looking for one that is simply fantastic.  Maria – you are the best!!  Thanks to you and your family for a wonderful session.  I can’t wait for you to see the rest!!

My very first ad ran this week! I know the blog has been neglected, but the week has been insane! I’ve just recently started a new commercial project for a local United Way branch and it, along with regular client sessions, has been keeping me more than busy. Thursday I was able to pick up the copies of my very first ad in the incredibly slick magazine for Northwest Indiana Parents – Children’s Essentials. Click on the link to subscribe today! It’s a fantastic resource for local parents, and best of all it’s FREE!!!!

As you can see, Butterfly Kisses and I decided to join ads. I think the results are lovely! If you are an expectant mom, or know someone who is, don’t hesitate to contact me about the maternity/newborn special! Although my calendar books up quickly, and sometimes months in advance, I always have room to squeeze in newborn clients. Please call while you are still pregnant to book!! That ensures I will pad my schedule enough to fit in the unpredictability that comes with newborn arrivals.

I was fortunate enough to have my very first photograph featured in this magazine, as well! I so love this photo, and I was equally as excited to learn in would be featured in the C.H.O.I.C.E.S article. Click on the link to learn more about this wonderful, local group.
