Just a few before bedtime that made me smile. We had a blast during this downtown session. There are so many more where these came from, so watch the blog this week for the full peek and slideshow!

I have just two slots left in November and am then booked for the remainder of ’08 and will begin scheduling for ’09 sessions.  This time of year is definitely always a little insane, but in a good way. If you’re a current client or have an upcoming session scheduled, watch for an e-mail soon with a link to this year’s custom-designed holiday cards for inspiration …. some really great designs! And, of course, we can design just about anything you can imagine as well.

Cheers!

Last year, I blogged about her girls and our photo session … three of the cutest little things ever. And today, I had to post this and blog about their mom … because she’s making some of the cutest, hippest baby gear ever. And affordably! She’s just getting started, but I read on her blog today that she’s going to be featured in the KC Star on Aug. 17. All you hot mamas … and hot mamas-to-be really need to check out her stuff. She does custom work, too, so I have a feeling the designs are endless! Way to go, Brit!

I know she won’t mind that I borrowed the image of her cool, custom baby wipe cases — how cute are these!!!??!!! And she’s home grown … all products are made right here in KC … what better way to support our local economy.

is a little spitfire. And she knows it. But man oh man, what a little bribery will get this mom. It seems our little girl has a sweet tooth and she’ll do just about anything for one of those little Dum-Dum suckers. Even sit still in a chair while mom snaps away. This is what she gave me in five minutes of shooting and it was soooo worth it! Yes, she’s wearing the same sundress from her 18 month session, but I fell in love with these the minute I got her to laughing in the viewfinder. I’ve been meaning to post this for awhile, but it’s the height of our crazy busy late summer/fall photography season and things get a little nuts.

So, without further ado … our Bella Bug and her own “blue chair session” …

So what did we do with these great images? We ordered five amazing gallery-wrapped canvas prints, of course! Here they are hanging in our home and my studio. The four vertical canvases are size 14 x 30 and the larger canvas is a 24 x 36. I LOVE the way they turned out! While there is absolutely no shame in traditional, framed and matted wall displays, I always encourage clients to “think outside the frame” and try some alternative ways to showcase their images.

And speaking of creative imagery, here are some of the ways recent clients have chosen to showcase theirs …

A 5×5 “Perfect Little Brag Book” … just the right size for purse or briefcase:

Several 10×10 custom-designed coffee table books complete with custom photo covers, high-quality press-printed pages and visual “stories” that are truly one-of-a-kind:

Another canvas gallery-wrap – this one is a 16×20 and I think the feeling in this image was perfect for a canvas:

And, finally, a wall display in my studio comprised completely of images mounted on 3/4″ standout which comes pre-drilled with holes in the back for hanging pictures flush against the wall, no frames needed.

All of these and more are available to each and every client – just ask to visit the studio to see samples and get the creative juices flowing!
