Organic Bloom Frames Retailer AND a Free Frame With Your Session!!

Organic Bloom frames are the “IT” frames right now – they’re beautiful, funky and fun!!

There are 10 amazing designs, TONS of color options, and any size you can imagine, from 2×2 and up. You will fall in love with these frames, just like I have. I want to fill every room in my house with these!!

Aren’t they gorgeous and fun? Below is a “Lucy” design in the color pewter. AMAZING!

New Logo!

After asking just about everyone I know, spending TONS of time tweaking and obsessing, I decided I was making things WAY more difficult than they needed to be with this logo-designing! Let’s see… I switched fonts about a dozen times, I interchanged flowers and even a (super-cute, but just not perfect) bird, moved the pictures from the front to the back to the middle of my name… it got out of hand. So I stopped obsessing and just went with my favorite!

And really, I’m so happy with this new logo. I love the colors (though I’ll probably change them when I crave some variety) and I love the dandelion! I’ve done a little updating to my blog to incorporate the new logo, though it’s really a work in progress (I want to find a new template). And my next step will be updating my website!


Hope everyone likes it as much as I do!

The ‘H’ Kids

The “H” kiddos belong to a good friend of mine. I was delighted when she asked me to take pictures for their Christmas cards. We did a little mini-session in their yard… while my little munchkins ran around and made things difficult for me!! Lesson learned – the kids can’t come, even when it’s a quick session for a friend!! 🙂



Isn’t her dress adorable? I love it!

New Product – Disc Tins

These adorable disc tins are a new product offering for 2011. When you have a full session and purchase a disc of your images, the disc will come in one of these tins. The tins not only look great, they keep your valuable disc safe. Each disc and tin is personalized with photos of your choice and custom wording to suit your family – you can choose to put your family’s name, the date, or special wording like Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, etc.

I’m so excited about these – they’re fabulous! If you’d like to see them in person, please ask me at your session. I bring samples of products with me to each session.
