Doing classes a new way!

2010-04-13T09:33:00.001-07:00

I've had so many people want to take my classes but it just doesn't work with their schedule. So I've changed up the way I am going to be doing classes. Instead of being a 6 week session at a certain time and place you can schedule them for whenever works for you and your friends.

The classes will now be in your home. Each class is $200 but is divided by the number of friends who sign up to take the class with you which is a maximum of 8.
Schedule them during the week, evenings or weekends, monthly or weekly, whenever works best for you.

Same changes go for our Photo Fieldtrips. Schedule one whenever you like with your friends. Split the cost and we can go wherever you want in town (park, urban, etc) and I'll show you great places to shoot, talk about settings and look for great light!

Call or email us for more details or to schedule a class with your friends!

Fan us on Facebook!

2010-04-13T09:00:00.001-07:00

On June 1st I will draw a name of one of my Facebook fans.
The winner will receive a free session! So fan us on Facebook and tell all your friends!

Helping fight poverty.

2010-01-30T19:49:00.000-08:00

My girlfriend and I have entered a competition. Although it seems odd to think of competing with other people to help fight poverty. In that sense there are no winners and losers. Anyway, the Grameen Foundation has started and Ingenuity competition to see who can use social networking the most effectively to raise money for and educate people about micro loans. So, for each session and seat booked in one of my classes through February 9th I will be donating $27 to the fund. $27 was the amount of the first micro loan given by Nobel prize winner Mohommad Yunis. Our goal is to find 270 people to donate 27 each by February 9th. So book a session, sign up for a class (in OP or Lawrence), just donate and/or tell all your friends! www.momsinthemirror.com

Like a portrait party but different.

2010-01-29T15:13:00.000-08:00

I used to do portrait parties all the time but my schedule got full and I also never liked feeling so rushed. I still get calls and emails from people asking me to do them so I've come up with something sort of similar but different. :)

The Digital Mini-Sessions. Get 2 of your friends (total of 3 of you) for this mini-session and for $350 each you get a 20 minute session and all your digital images (approx. 10) on CD. (No session fee) This is a great way for you and your friends to not only pay no session fee but to also get all your images on CD so you can print them to your hearts content. Print them for yourself, for your family to scrapbook with, whatever. With only 3 families it gives me some breathing room. If one of the kids isn't in the mood at that moment we'll just give them a break and do one of the other kids and then can go back to him or her when they're ready.

I'm a big planner so its no surprise that I'm already thinking about Mother's Day and Father's Day. Schedule a session in March or April so you can have time to print your images for those Grandparent's. They make great gifts!

Bellies Bellies and more Bellies.

2009-01-28T12:20:00.000-08:00

I have been shooting lots of bellies and it has been so much fun. I now have a maternity gallery on my website showing a wide variety of styles. Here are some of my favorites!

Family Time!

2008-10-21T06:12:00.000-07:00

I love nothing more than when a client wants me to capture them in action. No stiff poses, no worries about everyone looking at the camera and smiling at the same time, just them doing what they do. They are my favorite kind of images because they are real. These are a few favorites from a sessions this weekend.

Sneak Peek!

2008-09-22T17:09:00.000-07:00

This precious little girl is only 4 days old! I just had to put up a few so Mom and Dad could see them.

Just playing around.

2008-09-22T16:30:00.000-07:00

Another photographer friend of mine and I took her daughter out earlier this week to play around at a new location. So much fun!

Just can't keep up!

2008-07-28T07:47:00.000-07:00

Somehow posting on my blog always gets pushed to the bottom of the to do list.
Again, here are some of my favorites from recent sessions.

Sweet Baby J

2008-07-14T14:05:00.001-07:00

I think this little girl wins the prize for the youngest baby I have ever photographed.
Just 4 days old and she couldn't be any sweeter. Here is a sneak peek for mom who I know is anxiously awaiting these pictures.

Lots and lots of portrait parties!

2008-05-27T16:59:00.000-07:00

I had so many portrait parties and sessions in May I wasn't sure if I was coming or going sometimes. Here are some of my favorites from the four portrait parties I did in May.

Urban Session!

2008-05-27T16:51:00.000-07:00

This guy was so much fun. When I first met him I just knew that pictures in the park just didn't go with his awesome long hair and cool t-shirt collection. His mom was all over my suggestion to do an urban session though I don't think she was prepared for the tornado sirens to go off in the middle of our session.

Lil Baby Boy

2008-05-27T16:38:00.000-07:00

I've been doing this little guys portraits every month. From month one to two he didn't seem to change much but just get a little fatter but from two to three months he really seemed to lose that newborn look. Can't wait to watch this little guy grow.

And they said it couldn't be done!

2008-04-29T19:04:00.000-07:00

I took pictures of this little lady about 6 months ago when she was 18 months. So now it was time for some 2 year old pictures in her beautiful pink dress now that the weather has warmed up. She does not give out many smiles so I was thrilled that we were able to capture more than one!

Another sneak peek.

2008-04-26T20:19:00.000-07:00

These guys were such good sports letting me take them all over the park! You'd never know this little guy had little interest in getting his picture taken.

Sneak Peek.

2008-03-26T12:42:00.001-07:00

A sneak peek for a fun family. These guys were troopers to be out in the chilly weather!

Fun Sisters!

2008-03-26T12:38:00.000-07:00

These sisters reminded me that you don't have to be a kid to have fun goofing around.

Where does the time go?

2008-02-13T14:15:00.000-08:00

Perhaps my new years resolution should be to keep my blog updated better. I have had so many wonderful sessions since my last post. Here are some of my favorites. And by some I mean a lot because there are too many to pick just a few.

A portrait party in the garden.

2007-10-17T18:30:00.001-07:00

What a fun day this was. Is there anything better than a parade of little girls in beautiful dresses to photograph? These girls really spoiled me. They were all so easy to photograph and just as sweet as they could be.

Busy Summer!

2007-08-02T12:25:00.000-07:00

My 3 sons

2007-07-17T11:57:00.000-07:00

Every once in a while I have to sneak in a few pictures of my 3 precious boys. I look forward to when the baby is a little older and I can start taking even more pictures of my 3 little boys.

Miss L

2007-07-05T11:04:00.001-07:00

This pretty little lady had absolutely no interest in having her picture taken. So we just sort of went with it and ended up getting a few good ones. Hopefully next time she will be a little more willing. This last picture is my favorite. She was talking about doing some yoga with her mom and this is her 'namaste' picture.

M & J

2007-06-28T13:53:00.000-07:00

I had to start my blog with images of these two kiddos. Here are some of my favorite images from the session. I have been photographing them since they were babies. Even though they don't live in the area anymore I still get to do their pictures when they are in town twice a year. I love having the same clients year after year because it allows me to watch these little (or not so little) ones as they grow. And I have the privilege of capturing it.
