New try at video slideshows

Okay, here is my try at slideshows using a new program that I actually purchased awhile ago, but I FINALLY (with a little help from fellow NoBSer and Utah Photographer Tina Miera) was able to post it here. This is the rest of the images from the Swanson session with little Ian that you see below. Let me know what you think...

Why I love my job...

Okay, so I had this family come to the studio the other day from Rochester, MI and it was one of my most favorite sessions EVER! (is that even proper grammar? oh well, who cares?) One reason is because their son is only a couple of days younger than my little Wyatt and just as cute, but also, because his parents were so cool. Ultimately though, it's because of the BEAUTIFUL images I will be able to present to them during their ordering session. I want to show you all of them, but for now, this is my favorite so far. I know you will enjoy it as much as I do. There's just something about the sweet innocence of a newborn against the contrast of the awesome tattoos on dad. (just wait til you see them in color!).

Free Designer Photo Cosmetic Bag!

Okay, I am so excited! I just received a shipping confirmation for my GA Designer handbag. It should be here on Friday and I CANNOT wait to show it off! For those of you who have seen the cosmetic bag that I have, you'll be excited about the July handbag special:
Now through July 25th receive a free matching cosmetic bag with your purchase of a qualifying handbag, including the Fairfax Handbag (shown). This is a great summer special if you've been waiting to order a bag for yourself or as a gift for someone. Think about it...one for you, and one for a friend. lol. Great justification for gifting yourself!

Six Weeks and counting

Wow! who knew that babies could grow sooo quickly? Wyatt is doing quite well and he is growing like a weed. He's six weeks old today and we took a few pictures just for kicks. I love this outfit and can't wait until it actually fits him. (he's swimming in it for now) Anyway, I thought these would be cute for a newspaper announcement (no, we still haven't done one yet-don't get me started...I am still working on creating a formal birth announcement to send out. Then again, maybe I should just start working on 1st bday invites. lol.) but grandma still likes the original announcement photo, so we'll see...

Get Back to work Lady!!

okay, okay. Having a new baby is hard work but due to popular demand I had to get back to work, so with some help from family members, (especially my sister) I was able to return to a very busy week. Clients came in from Ortonville, Oxford, Ferndale, Clarkston and Lake Orion. Here is a review from some of those sessions...

In the studio

It's been hard to get images of Wyatt in the studio, but we've made it a few different times. These are some of my favorite images from the first couple of weeks.

Introducing...Wyatt Matthew

So, since my phone has been blowing up lately and my email box has been PACKED for the past week, I know that everyone is anxious to find out how the baby is doing and what he looks like. Therefore, I am posting a few snapshot from the past few days for you all to see. My labor was super long, but it was totally worth it in the end. Wyatt was born on Tuesday May 6th, 2008 at 6:01am. At the time of birth, he weighed in at 8 lbs., 8.4 oz. and he is 21in. long. He is a great baby so far and he is really healthy. Lots of hair too, as you can see. So, for those of you waiting on return calls about the baby, please be patient. We are trying to get back with everyone, but the list is a long one.

Thank you to all who have come to our home, called, or emailed us with well wishes. We are so appreciative of your support!
