Let me start off by saying this is what you get at most dance studios

(I should mention I got yelled at for taking this picture, I guess they were afraid I was going to steal their backdrop ideas or something? Or maybe they didn’t think I would buy the group picture without her ass in it? But I did in fact purchase the group picture. I just took this because it was funny watching them pose 11 3 & 4 year olds)

Anyway what I was trying to say was above is what you get with your studio but below is what you get with me! Here is just a sneak peek of some of the fun we had with my daughter’s dance costume (and I even was able to include my son)….

Hey Girl ~ I Heart Faces

This week over on I heart faces (www.iheartfaces.com) is the theme “Hey Girl”  Well I immediatly thought of this image.  What else makes you feel more like a girl then putting on some boots and  twirling around in a dress that really swirls?  Dancing to your own music, perhaps?

Hey Girl

Head on over to I heart faces and see lots of other girls . . .

I’m so glad we were able to finally get this session in!  We had been planning it since winter but life happens and the weather goes from bad to worse.  But luckily we had a wonderful warm early spring.  We lucked out on our day too, no real sun and it was a bit windy but it was warm which was great!  It was a pleasure photographing these girls, they were naturals!  Enjoy your sneak peeks!

For the Love of Lillipops

About a month ago, Lillipops announced that I was the winner of her spring fever contest. I was a little astonished to say the least, there were so many great entries from some amazing photographers. I was so excited. Anyway people who know me know my love for dressing my daughter (and son) in things that can’t be found at the local mall. Well with this contest I was going to get a super cute piece of clothing to photograph. Let me tell you, I’ll totally work for free clothes! But little did I realize that I was going to actually get two pieces! Mother and daughter matching skirts. These are so super cute, comfortable and flattering. Now the problem I didn’t think about was the need for an adult model; oops! So I braced the opportunity to get in front of my camera with my daughter. To say this is tricky was an understatement but we did have fun and my son was able to help out too.  I will say this, there is a reason I’m behind the camera instead of in front of it. Anyway without further ado I share with you these new fun skirts that should be in Lillipops shop very very soon! I hope you enjoy:

Beautiful Black & White ~ I heart Faces

The theme this week over at I heart faces (www.iheartfaces.com) is “Beautiful Black & White”  I love black and white images, they’ve always been a favorite of mine, my house is covered in them.  Recently I was looking at ordering a big canvas and this image is what I want to order.  I think this is a beautiful black and white image with two beautiful children, not just on the outside but on the inside as well. Big brother is actually going to get a bug that scared little sister.

I don’t blog a lot but I wanted to blog this session.  It started because I wanted to play with dramatic light which I’m not so good at.  I like bright images without dark shadows, but sometimes its good to step outside your box.  Of course I don’t think I really succeeded at dark moody dramatic images but I did enjoy what I did capture which is more my style anyway.  One of the images also made it into my 52 week challenge for Game On. I hope you enjoy . . .

Hugs and Kisses ~ I heart Faces

This week’s theme over at I heart faces (www.iheartfaces.com) is hugs and kisses.  I think a mom’s favorite image is one where her kids are hugging and kissing on each other.  I had a couple in mind but decided to go with this one because I just love the look on brother’s face.

I’m so excited that I have to blog about a little contest that was held by a children’s clothing designer Lillipops. If you haven’t checked her stuff out you must leave my blog right away and check her out (but then please come back).  Those that know me know I LOVE shopping for my kids.  And I LOVE photographing the clothes they wear.  I swear I just buy (my daughter especially) stuff just to photograph it.  And half her stuff I wish came in my size!  In fact I have been known to convo children’s boutique’s on Etsy and ask if they could make something in my size.  Which brings me to the exciting news of the contest I was talking about earlier.  I submitted an image for the theme Spring Inspired to Lillipops.  I agonized over two completely different images and finally just went with one; I didn’t think I really had that much of a chance anyway because there were at least two other photographers that had entered as well and I admired their work.   But then when the drumroll announced little ol’ me, I couldn’t believe it!  I’m so excited not only because I get to photograph a couple of skirts for Lillipops but I get to keep them and they are a matching mother daughter set!  How cute are we going to look?  Well you’ll have to stay posted to get a glimpse but I’ll leave you with the winning image.  Does she not look like she’s got Spring Fever?
