{ starting the weekend early....}


Hope everyone has had a great week! We sure have! Kim's been super busy in sessions, I've got a new Stylebook under way, and two more waiting in the wings! We gave away a $500 giftcard on Facebook, I know, right???? Congrats go out to Paula Holmes! Prom and dance orders are rolling in, plus all of yesterday's orders consultations included wall portraits! We love that our clients love their images so much and want them up on the wall to share with everyone! LOVE! And then the icing one the cake this week? I think it was today during a image preview session, a Mom was so blown away by her family and little ones pics that she cried! It happens alot, especially with the little ones sessions, and kleenex are always in the projection room, but I tell you, it never fails to make us feel like what we are doing means something to someone. It makes us feel good, and a little humbled too, I mean that what we do moves someone in that way....WOW! Wow. What a great week.........
p.s. ~ oh, and we are heading out early today! it's one of the perks of working here, have a great weekend!

{playing catch-up......Indiana Professional Photographer}

How many times have I promised not to neglect the blog? Six, seven, ten thousand??? I have the best of intentions to blog daily, but something always comes up, and lately, during a notoriously slow time of the year for photographers, I can't find time to take out the trash let alone blog ~ which is a good thing right? To be busy I mean, not the garbage piling up around our ears, that's just gross. What have we been busy doing???? I am glad you asked, we have had some really cute Special Occasions, Cherubs & Champs, In the Garden with Peter Rabbit for Easter and our upcoming special Rebel Riders, May 1st @ Brandt's Harley Davidson. You've probably seen them if you follow us on Facebook, (if you don't follow us, then shame on you....you should be, unless you don't have a Facebook account, then get one, but I warn you, it sucks you in and you will find you go to check on a friends status and next thing you know it's four days later and your kids have been neglected, your house is a wreck and the dog seriously needs to go out. Don't say you haven't been warned!)


These two little cuties, have been all over our Facebook page for Rebel Riders.....



















Cute, huh?
And this little Miss was our latest and last model for Rebel Riders, Kim photographed her today. Watch your mailbox, now that I have some images a postcard will be headed your way with all the details!





Kimberly and I also took our families to Chicago for Spring Break. Two separate trips ( separate trips?????? I know... usually Kim and I do everything together, but this time we did our own thing. Although it was in the same city.....baby steps though.)


Bruce snapped this picture at Legoland of Tate-o & I. I highly recommend Legoland, especially if you have a little one who likes to build (and his Daddy!) I'd love to show you some pics from Kim's trip, but she took none! It's the whole "Cobbler's kids have no shoes" thing. (Are there still cobblers out there or does everyone buy there shoes at Target, and the shoe clearance room @ Von Maur like me?)



And then there is this, which has kept me VERY busy! Here are a few spreads from our custom Stylebooks we do! Have you seen one? Do you want one of your own? They are Fabulous!







Our Stylebooks have been a huge hit and since I like each one to be a little different (like my Christmas cards!) they take time. LOTS of time, but I love them!


So that's a little of what we have been up too! Check back, I will try and keep this a little more up to date so you can stay in the loop, maybe once a week to start out. Baby steps, remember?
