Remember Funny Photo Friday?

So since I have been a total slacker when it comes to posting a funny photo every Friday, I thought today might just be the day I start back up...okay so today IS the day:)

You probably remember seeing this photo in the preview for this family, but alot of you may not have seen it...so that makes it okay. I told the kids to be silly and of course this was towards the end of the shoot. This is what I got. I love every kids idea of silly here. But as you can see the one with the big arrow pointing to her totally cracks me up! I would totally expect her to be giving me a girly pose like the other two on the left of the picture. That's why I love kids, they are so unpredictable at times. It's especially great when they let their super silly side shine through in pictures and in every day life. So enjoy this funny photo. Looking forward to next Friday!

Just FYI

Hello there Splendor People, just wanted to give this quick update to let you know that the calls and emails for spring are coming in. So if you would like to book a session with me, please contact me so we can get you the date you want. I'm so blessed and thankful for all of you!

Here's a picture of me, I found it and thought it was hilarious and thought you might like to see how awesome the 80's were! I'm not sure if this was my mom or dad's idea, but I think I was 5 years old here. It's so funny to see the decor because I remember all of it! Good times for sure! Okay there you have a little 1985 to look at, now don't forget to call and book your session!

Happy Birthday Hudson!!!

Just look at this little sweetie pie! Big blue eyes, and such a sweet disposition. He likes to talk and explore! Yesterday was his 1st birthday and what better than to have your very own photo session to document. It was funny because when his mom would sit him down he would just sit there and look around at first, but then when he discovered that he was free to explore it was hard to keep him still for even 5 seconds. He wanted to crawl off and pick up anything he saw on the ground. Well Hudson, happy birthday and I'm very honored that I was able to make memories for you and your family. It was a joy! On that note enjoy!!

Back for round 2 (Jones Family)

Let me first say that I had so much fun with these two! They were such a blast to work with and there were many, many laughs!! We had done their family session last week and we weren't able to get any of just mom and dad. So when Lynn emailed me and asked me if we could possibly try for the next weekend and do some quick shots of the two of them, I was more than willing because I know how important it is to have those pictures of just the mom and dad. Especially when you have little ones around all the time. Sometimes we need to remember who we were as a couple before the kids came along. Well I am so we glad we went back to do this. You can see the joy and love that these two have for each other. It was a perfect afternoon, no distractions and only time to focus on them, and trust me it shows!! There's no doubt in my mind that these two people were made for each other! I love when it's so apparent! So enjoy Lynn and Andy!!!

The Jones Family

Look at this sweet family! These kids are just gorgeous, and I can't get over their eyelashes. They are so long and just beautiful! This is another old friend from high school. I am loving seeing all these people from the past. I love seeing their families and just how beautiful all of their kids are. If you will notice this precious little girl "who is a mini me of her mother":), ate up the camera....she was really getting into it. I love that! This sweet baby boy just turned one and couldn't be more handsome. Lynn, I'm so glad you allowed me to be a part of your beautiful family! Enjoy!

CAN'T forget this one!

A Sneaky to a Sneak Peek

Just wanted to share this picture from my session yesterday. I love it! What a gorgeous little girl. More from the family session later. For now enjoy this little beauty.

Jenni & Andy + baby on the way!

What an adorable couple these two were! I think I told them at least 10 times how cute they were. They are expecting their first baby girl in about 6 weeks. I loved seeing how in love these two were, and being able to capture that for them is such a blessing. Many years down the road when this baby girl is older and looks at the pictures of her mom and dad right before she was born, will be able to see how much they love each other and how loved she is. It was a little on the chilly side, but you would never know it by looking at these pictures. I love that! Thanks Jenni for being such a trooper, and thanks to Andy for being my sun blocker, human GPS, and for being comfortable enough to show me just how much you love your wife and baby girl on camera! Enjoy guys!

Facebook Give Away

Okay, I have alot of things brewing for Splendor Photography in 2010. A ton of ideas that are racing through my head non stop. The first thing I want to do is make more people aware of Splendor. Since everyone (almost everyone) is on facebook, I want to bump up the fan list. The Splendor facebook is where I do alot of interacting, posting new sessions...etc. So right now there are 159 fans as we speak. I want to get to 500 fans as my first goal. So once the fan list reaches 500, I will hold a drawing for a free session for up to 4 people. Everyone that is a fan of Splendor will be eligible for the prize.The only requirement is that once I do reach 500 fans, I will ask everyone who is interested in the drawing to put a comment on the facebook page. So, tell all of your friends to become a fan so that you can have a chance of winning. There is a direct link at the top of this blog in the link bar, it will take you straight to the facebook page! There is also a link to the facebook page here

A session with Splendor Photography consists of :
*1.5 -2 hour session at the location of your choice
*A disc containing 20-30 high resolution photos
*A print release form allowing you rights to print

All photos are specifically and carefully edited. I am looking forward to seeing the fan list raise to 500. Now go and spread the word!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I'm a little late on this post but that's okay, I have been taking a much need break. It has been nice. I had such a wonderfully blessed holiday season. I can't even begin to tell you. So I wanted to share my Christmas card and a few pictures of my babies. They bring me so much joy and I couldn't imagine my life without all 3 of them. They are all so different but yet a lot alike. I hope that made sense. Well here we go, my life...

A little holiday cheer

This sweet family braved the cold for some family photos in time for Christmas. We had to make it fast because it was misting outside and a little chilly. Look how sweet these kids are...very well behaved and sweet as can be! So here's a little preview...

S family

Who says you can't get great pictures when it's 44 degrees outside and not a glimpse of sunshine anywhere? Well this family proves that you can! How cute is this little one? She was so sweet and a little on the shy side but she definitely let me see her personality, and look at those curls! I really enjoyed this session and this family is such a beautiful family! Enjoy guys...it was great catching up with you!

H family

Is this sweet girl precious or what? It was another cold and windy day, but I think we accomplished some amazing shots. I'm in love with this first one, and all of them :) Leah, hope you love these, because I DO!!!!!
