2009 Christmas Cards

I've got some awesome cards this year!! I'm so excited to show you. I must apologize for taking so long to get them posted. And I really wanted to put clients' pictures in each and every card, so that you could tell more how they will look, but I was just running out of time. So you'll have to use your imaginations! :) So without further ado: FRONT: BACK: FRONT: In this one, all of the empty, white boxes would hold a picture: BACK: I will have one more to offer, but I haven't received it yet. Its a little more contemporary. Thank you to all the awesome, generous people on ILP and to Heather McBride designs and Beyond Red & Green for your amazing templates!

My New Niece/ Monroeville, AL Newborn Photographer

When I found out that my brother and his wife were expecting, not only was I ecstatic about having a new baby in the family, but my wheels automatically started turning... I would finally get my first newborn shoot!! She is such an angel and I had sooo much fun doing these pictures.

My first baby boy in a long time! He was sooo adorable. I could just squeeze those cheeks! And those eyes..oh my!!

This child had the most beautiful, reflective eyes!! And this Christening gown was handmade by her grandmother..it was gorgeous! What a little angel.. And y'all know I'm a sucker for long, pretty eyelashes.. check these out! And I'm playing with a little texture on this one:

Sneak Peak-sisters

I was tickled to be able to photograph this family. This beautiful girl was my best friend in high school. We live miles and miles apart now, but I love keeping up with her and her precious family through blogs, facebook, etc. I was so happy that she wanted me to do some pictures for her! Her girls are little angels!

I love this one.. such a natural, beautiful smile..right from the heart.

And this one... what about those big, brown, soulful eyes!

These girls were crackin' each other up...so funny!

Now, I couldn't NOT post these... please see this series of pictures. Happy baby with balloon. Balloon POPS..surprise/shock!! Very sad & scared baby... poor thing! (sorry mom & dad..hope you aren't upset with me for sharing this one!)

Storyboards

I've had several inquiries about the "storyboards" recently, so I thought I'd post an example:A storyboard is one large picture that is made up of multiple images (of your choice). Depending on the layout of the storyboard it's typically between 10x20 and 16x20, and it's printed on a very sturdy matboard. Its great to display on a shelf or easel as is or have custom framed! There's also another example here. (this is the 10x20)
