New!

I’ve been working on expanding my products and offerings this week, and I’m really excited about some of the new stuff I’ve got going on! Check it out:

  • Hair and makeup styling for engagements, bridals, or any portrait session. Fifty dollars and we’ll get you all done up before the shoot. The stylist will also come along for the photo session to make sure you stay looking fabulous. FIFTY DOLLARS! Do you know how awesome that is?
  • Newborn sessions: for one hundred dollars I’ll come to your home wielding cute props (or I can use what you already have) and my camera. You also get twenty five birth announcements out of the deal, which brings me to my next point…
  • Cards! Folded or flat cards printed with one of your images on smooth cardstock and designed to say/be whatever you’d like. Wedding thank you cards, holiday cards, birth announcements–you name it, we can do it.
  • Metallic prints, canvas wraps, and mounted prints now available on the proofing site.

p.s.: that’s my niece June. Isn’t she the cutest?

The Inside

It’s still a work in progress, but we like it.

More pictures to come when we get things decorated and furnished (our couches came this week!)

In the garden

we’ve got potatoes, tomatoes, strawberries, green beans, purple beans, bell peppers, lettuce, peas, butternut squash, zucchini, cucumbers, cantaloupe, and herbs.

It’s kind of my pride and joy.

These ladies like to wake us up early on saturdays, but the fresh eggs are totally worth it.

welcome to the neighborhood

I recently decided to pull out my old 35mm film camera and start using it to photograph everyday life. It was an honorable endeavor, but since my everyday life has consisted pretty much solely of work, I haven’t had a whole lot to photograph (besides what I was already photographing work, which is a different story).

Any time not spent working has been devoted to setting up the new apartment my husband and I moved into; so that’s what I’ve been shooting. It’s been an awesome change for us (from teeny tiny studio to two bedroom duplex), and I’m thrilled to have some more space to decorate, but things have been moving extremely slowly.

Two months in and we’re just now getting around to buying couches.

Anyway, I’ll be posting a few installments of the film from our new neighborhood and home.

Aurora & Ben, Preview

A few weeks ago I had a stroke of inspiration and decided it would be amazing to shoot a handmade themed bridal session (remember the felt flowers I was making?). Aurora and Ben graciously agreed to model for me and we shot it today. I’m so thrilled with the images I had to post one before doing the rest of the editing. Check back for more!

p.s.:  isn’t she gorgeous?
