Back to School with the Freckled Frog!
Posted on August 8, 2008
Well, it is already time to get ready for school! It is hard to believe that summer is almost over and it is time to sharpen those pencils and get ready to stuff the brain full of knowledge goodness! In order to celebrate this time of year, the Freckled Frog has invited me to join her on August 23rd for a party! Details are below and don’t procrastinate because appointments will quickly fill up!

Little Red
Posted on June 26, 2008
Well, if mom used to be known as “Big Red”, then shouldn’t her son be known as “Little Red”?! Especially if his hair is redder and even brighter than moms! I was in Raleigh last week meeting little red and just had the best time as he showed me his books, his rocks, his grandparents yard…etc. I think he really loves his home and was so anxious to share it with me!
I thought that instead of showing multiple pictures from the session, I would show you a newly designed storyboard. These are so much fun and go perfectly in a child’s room!

Swedish Babies Part II
Posted on January 2, 2008
The next Swedish baby that I have had the chance to meet was also just a bump in a belly last time I was here. My sister-in-law had her second boy soon after we left last year and we have been so excited to finally get to meet him.
He is such a calm and observant baby. He just looks around and takes everything in. Here are a few images of him and his mom and big brother.

This little guy will walk before he ever crawls. He has absolutely no interest in crawling and loves to walk around!


Here are couple with big brother Linus. And when I say big, I mean a seven year old that is almost as tall as me! (okay, so maybe that is not saying much!)

These two just make me laugh!






This image makes me smile.

Christmas Cards and Deadlines
Posted on November 20, 2007
Many of you have been asking about the Christmas card designs for this year and I have been a little late getting them up this year!
A few things to think about:
You can tell me text to go into the inside of the card to save you time!
All cards come with envelopes.
You can choose to not have a template and have the picture extend to the edges to fill the card.
All cards are 5×7 except the first example which is 5×5.
These cards fit perfectly in a frame!
Prices:
Set of 50: $125
every set of 25 after 50: $50 (I can only order them in sets of 25)
And here are the samples…..







The deadline for the cards is November 27th.
I will be going out of the country to visit family in Sweden from DEC. 16th until JAN 13th. This means that all deadlines are firm.
Christmas orders other than cards must be ordered by DEC 3rd. Anything ordered after Dec 3rd may not be delivered until my return in January, so please don’t procrastinate!

How do you say no….

to this face?!

Seriously….I don’t know how mom does it! I had the pleasure of hanging out in the woods of Rock Barn the other day with the Auten boys. We had a session last year about this time and they have grown so much and look so different! You would think taking pictures of three boys would be challenging, but they are the sweetest boys! It really wasn’t hard to get them to stand together…and….dare I say?…..HUG! Big brother opened his arms wide and the two younger snuggled in real close. They are really are as sweet as they look in the pictures!
Here are a few more:




See you next year at the crooked tree!
