Seeing Double!

I finally has the opportunity to photograph newborn twins! Okay, they're six weeks old and not all curled up like a newborn, but I pretended. There was so much I was hoping to do but these two gals would NOT go to sleep, therefore, I couldn't achieve what I wanted. Thats okay - you dont know until you try. Here are the highlights from Hailey and Hannah's session last Friday. Enjoy!

Lovin' the Sunshine!

Here are some more of my sweetie that I took yesterday morning. I am loving the sunny warm days we are finally having. Enjoy!

And the black and white versions.. sometimes I can't decide if I like color or black and white more.

March Giveaway Winner!

Thank you for all the entries! I enjoyed reading your nominations. I have picked a winner for March, her name is Tracy. To respect privacy, I am not going to tell you the information given to me in the nomination until I have talked with Tracy herself and find out what she would like me to share with the public.

For the rest of you ... don't despair. The contest continues and all entries submitted in March still move forward to compete against the nominations that come in for April.

I'll post again once I talk with March's winner and give you her story.

Just playin' around

CONTEST

CONTEST: Nominate a friend who has not used my services to win a $40 gift certificate. That would give your friend a free weekday studio session, or a $10 Saturday studio session, or $40 off an on location session! Not bad, right?  
    Email me with why you think your friend deserves/needs/wants this session. I will choose from the different stories which one I think should have the session.. for whatever reason! It could be that they just haven't had a family picture taken in ten years, or that their anniversary is coming up, or all of their family is out of state and never gets to see the kids.. use your imagination, just be honest. 

BONUS: If your friend wins - you also get a $10 gift certificate for yourself! 

 Send an email to Shutterbelle@hotmail.com with the subject line "Nomination". You don't have to include your friend's contact information if you dont want to. I will contact you to let you know they have won and find out then how to get in touch with them.

Andrew's 6 month session

 I went against my own usual advice and tried to take pictures of him when it was close to his nap time. The timing worked for me... just not for him! He wasn't his usual excited, happy, laughing, smiley self. I was disappointed and I dont particularly love any of these, but he's still cute. Here are the highlights of my brief attempt:

Will 9 months

Okay so this session was actually almost two weeks ago and I barely remember doing it now! Will is always a doll. In this session, he wore outfits that each of his parents wore as infants.. that is pretty neat!  I didn't have time to do real editing to most of these, but here are some highlights of his session:

Gianna

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Gianna's family on Saturday. They were so sweet - and I appreciate their patience as my camera had a mind of its own just during their session. It worked fine for the next session so I dont know what that was about - sorry guys! Anyway, I think we got some lovely images to share. Here are my favorites (you can click on them to see them a little bigger):
