If an outsider took a look at our family and had to determine which female was the photographer, all signs would point to my mom. I am notorious for leaving the camera at home when I am not working a job or session. 

Thanks to her being a shutterbug though, my sister and I have ALBUMS of memories to look back on from us at every age. I love being able to relive our childhood through images. My dad captured video of us putting on talent shows, ballerina dances and singing. Man, we were always singing. These are things that I vaguely remember doing myself, but it is so special to SEE it and experience it all over again. 

My mom likes to cook and bake from scratch and I remember "helping" her do so. We weren't tall enough, and let's face it- I am STILL not tall enough, so we would pull out the cabinet drawer and stand on them to reach and see. 

One of my favorite parts was getting to lick the beaters. One for me, one for Kelly Jo. It didn't matter what kind of batter we were making, I wanted one of those beaters. 

When I first posted my desire to offer lifestyle sessions, I got a lot of questions about them. If you have ever attempted to take pictures with small children, let's face it... they do not do what you want when you want it. Oh, you want them to NOT lift up their dress AND smile... pick one. 

These sessions are meant to capture the "everyday" and your routines. The little moments that may seem insignificant now but will blossom into memories. The Cox family let me into their home for a couple hours one Sunday morning to freeze Callie at age three, loving playing princess and prepping for Easter. 

Lifestyle sessions are available in two hour increments for $250. For full day coverage, please contact me for special rates.

To celebrate my victory in finding a super awesome album printer (new for 2014 clients), here is an equally super awesome blog post about it. 

All of my wedding clients receive a 10x10" hardcover album included in their package, but these are available for purchase for any occasion or session. Most albums are priced between $75-200, and are custom designed by me for each client. This printer offers high end album options at affordable prices and is easily tailored to your preferences.

Before deciding that this company would be my new printer for hardcover albums, I tested them out using my own wedding images. Taking advantage of the 50% off for a "studio sample", I ordered one for myself. 

To order one for yourself, email me today to set up a consultation and to pick your preferences :)
