Blaser Family Portraits

I had an enjoyable evening with this family. 
It only took us about a year to get these done. lol. 
Dani bought her mom a gift card last year for Mother's Day and it took us a while to get our schedules together and for the weather to cooperate. 
But we finally got them done!

Here is their preview:

Breanne - Mommy and Me Session

Breanne's Mommy and Me Session was perfect! I could of photographed her and her kiddos all day - but it was a mini session so we were able to capture some sweet images in a short time. The kiddos were so well behaved and her sweet little boy didn't want to take his eyes off me....don't know if that's a good thing or not. lol. He was so CUTE!
I enjoyed my Mommy and Me Session with Breanne and I hope she will cherish these images for years to come!

Aurelia's Newborn Portraits

Aurelia was such a sweetheart for our session. She let us do the two composite shots her mommy wanted and was still up for more sleepy pics. I enjoyed our session, was a little scared of breaking her - she was so tiny!
I also want to thank Aurelia's mommy for the sweet phone call about her composite portrait - it made my day, I am glad she loves it.

Here is little Aurelia:

Update on my Progress....

So it has now been 2 weeks since I posted my "I have an Addiction" post.

Figured since I posted my secret addiction and my struggle (lol) I need to be held accountable for it. It's no where near where I want it to be but this weekend I made some good progress, thanks to my wonderful sister Cyndee. 
My sister was staying with me for the weekend (by the way this is the person that calls me a hoarder when it comes to my props) and she saw I hadn't done anything yet so she was sweet enough to tackle the room with me. It felt like an episode of Hoarders  (I think she would do really well as one of the head organizers) she wanted to throw everything away and I wanted to keep everything. 
She was very patient with me and after a quick hour and a half we had great progress.

I am so incredibly thankful for my sister she helped me clear the room up and made me realize I have way to many props and I really need to dejunk them so I can have the space I really want!

So I have made this cleaning endeavor into 4 simple steps:

1. Clear a path and put things in groups. - Check!
2. Dejunk
3. Organize
4. Decorate

 I am totally laughing at myself (which I am sure lots of you are) all this over a tiny room! :)
Hey some people struggle with biting nails, swearing, or smoking as their bad habit, this is mine and I have to own it!

So here is an updated picture after my sister left:

As you can see I have lots of stuff...my drops are being held up by more stuff. lol. And my closet is full.
Next step is to dejunk then it's on to organization! :) Hopefully in the next week or so I can post an update.

 My sweet sister did give me a little guidance as to how to keep my space from looking hoarded again. She designated me with a special "box".

OH how I love my sister! :)
Just so you know Cyndee my box is still empty and the room is just as we left it!

Jennifer - Mommy and Me Session

This is my beautiful friend and her sweet kiddos. 
As always I enjoy working with them and love capturing the sweet bond she has with each and every one of her kids. 
She is an amazing mama, I call her Supermom, and she is expecting a baby girl in August. 
So excited for her! :)
She has been waiting a while for this preview so I won't babble on.

Here is your preview Jennifer:

Snyder Family Portraits

It's taken me a couple of days to finally get this family's preview up. So many sweet moments were captured and it took me forever to narrow down my favorites to share. This family is so cute and was a blast to work with. I was lucky enough to photograph the little girls while they were newborns, can't believe how fast they grow up in just 5 short months!

Here is their preview:
