The Best Husband...EVER!!!

My hubby surprised me Christmas morning with my long awaited, long drooled after camera. He bought me a Canon 5D with battery pack and I am still giddy with happiness! I had no idea, he completely surprised me. In fact he went as far as to lie to me. He called me from work and said he had some bad news. The Christmas bonus had come and it was only half the normal amount. He said he'd already bought my present thinking we'd get the full amount so there wouldn't be any left for me to use on him. I was furious!!! He had to warn his boss that I may call and raise heck, he told his boss to just play along. Rest assured, I did not call his boss. I just dipped into my photo business money to buy his Christmas presents. He on the other hand spent the bonus all on me and then some. He is SO good to me!

Yummy little newborn!

This little lady is only 6 days old. My photog friend Sue who works out of Kent called and asked me to come shoot with her today and I was happy to oblige. I LOVE to shoot newborns! Once you get them fast asleep you can mold them and shape them any which way you please. This little girls parents were game for anything and we got so many amazing shots. Just as we were done and the baby had here diaper on and was getting ready to go I had an idea. I asked Dad if he had any tattoos and he said he had two. Well of course I made him strip his shirt off and shoot a few more. Those turned out to be my favorites! Mom was hiding a little tattoo of her own so of course we had to get that shot as well.

A little more of the Martinsons

Jaque your album is ready to view on the website. I'm so in love with every picture!

Sneak Peek for Jaque

UM...WOW! Just started editing these and I love so many of them. Here's a few to get you started. Jaque, you can tell Darek that Alan thinks he really should learn how to smile. We've got a semi grin in a few of them but that's about it. Alan said he's going to pose for me with a big smile on his face so I can cut his head out and replace it where Dareks is. Don't worry, I told him that would just be creepy!

Hide your daughters!

Mom's hide your daughters. Make sure they're out of the room before you view this post. You wouldn't want them swooning and possibly fainting at the sight of these boys. Here's a few more of Tasha's future heart breakers!
P.S. Tasha's pregnant with her fifth and it's a girl. These boys are so excited, when they saw my Lula their eye's lit up. You can already tell how much they're going to love her. I can't wait to see how fiercely protective they are of their sister!
P.P.S. Tasha your gallery is ready to view on the website!

Tasha and her slew of boys!

I just finished proofing this shoot and have edited only one picture but I have to share it. This is seriously the first one in the series...AWESOME! Tasha was so worried that we wouldn't get anything good. Not due to my abilities, but due to the "mass" of boys situation! Honestly they were so much fun to shoot, we all had a great time! I'll post more later but here's a quick sneak peak.

Jen your album is ready!

Was that fast or what!!! I whipped these bad boys out and now I'm off to bed. Don't look at the time I posted this. Crap now you just looked. It's the only way to get all my work done, I just don't sleep. I'll get you your password to view the pictures tomorrow...or I guess today! Ok, now I'm officially delirious.



I TRIED AND I FAILED, OH WELL IT'S GOOD FOR A LAUGH!

Christmas Cards

I've been really busy lately. Everyone is wanting that perfect picture for their Christmas cards. I've sold the copyright to a few pictures so clients can have their card made. Next year I plan to offer my own designs to clients instead of selling the copyright. I think it will work out less expensive for them. I'll work on them over the year so I have a good variety to offer. For now here's a peak at what kind of magic I can work! I designed cards for my two best friends Natalie and Nena, then one for my own family. The last two are being printed on a metallic paper so they will have a little shimmer to them. I can't wait to see how they turn out!







LAST BUT NOT LEAST...MY OWN LITTLE BEAUTIES!
