Tristyn Lee…

March 27, 2009 – 9:49 pm

You might reconize this little guy.  It was his album that won awards at my photo convention this year. The storybook album of his first year.  Tristyn is now 2 and it was time to get him in for another session. I love that he looks like a little man in these shots.  Tristyn is always full of personality for me when I photograph him. I get all kinds of facial expressions and really enjoy working with him. After the session we headed outside and let him play….I grabbed the camera and started shooting.  Those few outdoor shots are some of my favorites. It was wet and sprinkling a little but I chased him around and had a blast.  Thanks to his dad, Josh, for bringing the little guy up to Portland!  Here is your sneak peak…

Where have I been?

March 25, 2009 – 12:57 pm

I know…Its been a while since I have posted. I am here…I have just been sick for way too long. Unfortunately when your brain is clogged it makes it hard to focus.  I am still under the weather but I am doing what I can to get things done.  I have several things to post and update you guys on and will get everything caught up by this weekend.

First I do want to share that there is quite a few things changing! We are working on some rebranding…which includes, new look, new logo and new marketing pieces. Stay tuned for the “new” look.

Hang in there with me…I will post soon.

Little Cortlyn…

March 11, 2009 – 4:53 pm

My little Urban Fairy!  What a fun shoot this was!  Cortlyn is turning one next month and her mom, Kara, wanted to have me design some birthday party invitations for her. I love doing this!  It gives me something fun and creative to work on.  The theme of the party is going to be Fairy Princess and I believe the rumor is Tinkerbell will be making an appearance!  How fun for the kids! I was really excited for this session when we decided to do more of an Urban fairy look.  Kara could not have picked out a more fun and wild outfit! Cortlyn looks adorable.  Thanks to the Bailey family for letting me photograph you and your beautiful daughter. Thanks also for putting up with the cold! Here is a small sneak peak…I hope to add a couple more images soon…

UPDATE:

Here is a couple more images from little Cortlyn’s Session…

Now I Lay me Down to Sleep Foundation…

March 11, 2009 – 2:07 pm

As I am sure many of you keep seeing my America’s Cutest Kid contestants I wonder how many of you really grasp what the charity is that this benefits? I know some of my kids that I have entered have either been in the NICU or know someone who has.  It was today that I received two emails that were originally sent to Kim Anastassatos (mom of the Welker Girls).  I just entered the girls and Kim sent out an email to her friends and family members on how to vote.  Two emails were sent to her that I have asked to share:

1st email:

Kim, the girl’s are BEAUTIFUL…how can anyone just vote for 1?  I can’t believe the contest is for the “Now I lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation…” because last year my cousin lost her baby boy after 90 minutes of life due to Trisomy 18.  Her photographer is also part of that foundation and she met us at the hospital and took the most beautiful pictures for this same foundation.  Very Cool, it was an amazing blessing to look back and have those 90 minutes captured!!!
-Wendi

2nd Email:

I am sitting here at my computer BAWLING – I wish we would have had
professional pictures of our Christopher. Our digital camera just doesn’t do
him justice. The pictures of your girls are amazing (of course)!
-Sara

(just a note on Sara…She had her son die at 7 months pregnant so has experienced this)

My heart broke when I read both of these emails.  It was a good reminder why I decided to join this contest. The Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation is a wonderful gift photographers are able to give. I want to thank Kim and her friends for sharing this information. I also want to thank everyone who has been voting! Every dollar you contribute is going to a beautiful cause!

To learn more about this organization you can go to www.NILMDTS.com!
