I’ve got some great ideas for Father’s Day photos, and I am taking time to get all the pieces in order this week. I have been prop and background shopping lately, so you’ll have the option to get a look that you’ve never had an opportunity to experience with me! As I gather my things, I will post example photos so you can see what I’m talking about. I’m getting excited – are you?

Happy Birthday to this guy. He’s now the big 1-2. The last pre-teenage year is a big one, isn’t it? We headed back to Richmond Beach for this session – one of my favorite Seattle area locations. It’s just so stinkin’ pretty! I can tell that mom is so proud of her son. And rightfully so. He is handsome, polite, self-confident, and creative!

This really cool show – Shen Yun – is coming to Chicago on April 10-11, and I won’t be there to see it. Boo Hoo! I hope someone I know in Chi-town will go, and then tell me all about it…

Less than a week to go for Winter Whimsy 2010! I’m really getting excited about this event. I’ve been prepping for this for quite some time, so you can expect it to be good. :)
For those of you not able to attend, there’s still time to get photos this month. I know the weather is rainy and gross, but don’t forget I travel! I can come to you with a portable studio, and we can shoot indoors – with or without a backdrop. I do it all! Is it someone’s birthday soon? Did you have a new baby? Has your child reached a new milestone? Call me right away so we can capture these memories.

In anticipation of Valentine’s Day, I’m planning a Women’s Winter Whimsy Spectacular in January! Don’t you love spending time with the girls? I know I do!

January 16th will be the perfect opportunity for you to shed some sunshine on your winter blues, and come away with a really awesome gift for yourself or your significant other for Valentine’s Day! You’ll be pampered with strawberries and chocolate, you’ll work with a makeup artist to make sure you look your best, and you’ll feel liberated and sexy during your private portrait session. When it’s all over, you’ll receive a little red book to remind you that you’re beautiful just the way you are. Lingerie is welcome, but not required. It’s all about what makes you feel good! This is my way of upholding my promise to providing real photography for real people. I can’t wait to see you there! Stay tuned for details . . .
