PS - I just had this question asked and thought it was a great one with a great answer ...

Q - If I have 2 kids and would like portraits of them together can I sign up for a 3rd spot to have them photographed together?

A - Absolutely!! That would work out wonderfully.

Enjoy!!

Here is little Miss "A" at 9 months ... this is the third time I've gotten to photograph her and she's just about due for her big 1 year session!!  I had so much fun with this session.  I adore shooting little ones in their homes because they are so relaxed and not overwhelmed by new things or new places.  We had a blast and got some amazing images!  I ADORE the images of her in the 100 year old bowl!!

Until next time (whenever that may be ... but hopefully not too long) ... Enjoy!!!

And, just because ... here's a cute little image :)

Another fun part of the PP of  Idaho annual convention is the print competition!  We can submit 6 images for competition and they are judged by a panel of 5 Master Photographers.  There are 6 judges and each judge rotates and 1 will sit out during a portion of the judging.  This is my third year entering print competition but the first year where I felt like I had a better understanding of what the judges are looking for.  My photographer friends and I sat in a darkened room all day to watch each other's prints come up and be scored.  It was exciting and fun!  Sometimes the judges will call back an image because they want to look it over again and talk about it and try to increase (or sometimes decrease) the overall score of the image. It's great when the judges do that because you get to hear what their thoughts are about the image and it's a great opportunity to learn.  This year, I learned a lot!!  The judges brought back 2 of my images to discuss and it was great to hear their feedback during the judging and then after the judging is over you can ask each judge to discuss their thoughts on your prints.  I am VERY happy with the way my prints scored in competition this year.  I earned 3 merits and a Judges Choice Award!

Now, here are my competition prints!

The Power Within

Rock Band ~ I have to give HUGE THANKS to my husband for helping me name this print!  The title of a print has impact in the judging because the title in announced as the print comes out.  This print received a Merit.

Another exciting bit of news from convention is that I was elected as a board member for the Professional Photographers of Idaho also!  It's going to be fun!

Now, without further ... here's the little cuties from the Limied Edition Valentine Mini Sessions!

Enjoy!

These dull gray skies, cold weather and unpredictable snow are really making me miss the sunshine and warm weather.  I love spring ... it's my favorite season!  The way the air smells so fresh, the renewal of the plant life, the blooming flowers, the birds chirping, the way the air is crisp but warmed by the sun, the tulips (my favorite flowers), going for walks with the kids and not freezing ... ahhhh, spring!    

This spring fever may have made me a little crazy too ...   

And returning clients will receive: 

a complimentary set of 24 notecards in addition to the 100% print credit   

And it gets better!!    

You can double your referral credit if you refer a friend who books a custom or signature session during this week.  Instead of the new 2010 referral bonus $75 print credit, you would receive a $150 print credit.*    

Yeah, I have lost my mind so get in while the gettin's good!
