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 . . .

These girls are so fun! We had the best time making little “flip books” with my quick release shutter – they would act out little scenes and then watch them on the back of my camera.

This family is so great – creative, enthusiastic, agreeable – all the things I could ask for. We had a fun time walking around the lily lake in Amana.

I love these kids to death. I got to hang out with them for a few hours last weekend in Iowa, and what a treat! They had loads of fun and Mom even dressed them up in their formal clothes from a wedding they were in last month, which means I had as much fun playing as they did! It’s amazing how much these two kids have changed – and stayed the same.

I’ve decided to take a whack at some more fine art photography. I have a bunch of nature images, which I love, but I’m looking to start working on some projects that are more intentional and thematic. For starters, I’m planning to create some pieces inspired by some of my favorite theatre. I’m thinking my first project might be influenced by Samuel Beckett. It’s not family portraiture, but it’s fun. And I definitely have time for both!

This little guy was dressed so well for portraits! He looks stylish, coordinated, and clean. But what I like most is that he’s comfortable so he can relax and focus on being himself. There’s enough distraction with a camera around; who needs uncomfortable clothes on top of it? I always aim to reflect the moment, and the subject for who/what it is. These parents knew that to have a comfortable portrait that reflects their son’s real essence, he needed to be relaxed and comfortable.

And while we’re here . . . there’s a lot to ponder about the composition in this photograph; especially the use of lines.
