A Cedar Rapids Resturant
This resturant is called Zeppelin. I didnt get an opportunity to eat while I was there, but my husband tells me the food is fantastic - we are actually hoping that they build a new resturant right here in Cedar Falls! WOOT! that would be awesome!
catching up...
I realize I am a bit behind. Seems like everyone says that when it comes to having to keep up with a BLOG and Facebook and other social media. I love what I do, but I think I need some help keeping up with all of this stuff! ;) Here is a little bit of what has been going on around here- enjoy!
About a year and a half, there must have been something going around in all the water, because I also photographed about 6 babies in one week! I love those sweet baby faces! I will post a few of those sweet little souls as well as a new baby book that I just finished designing.
I had the opportunity to photograph this sweet little one 3 years ago! Thanks to the Woods Family for coming back! I also got to photograph her brother, who last time I photographed was a newborn ;)

SPRING BREAK 2010 -
I will be here - in Cedar Falls working...ok, creating AMAZING fashion inspired portraits of 2011 SENIORS representing Cedar Falls High School as well as Dike High School!
I have a few openings left for my 2011 SENIOR models Reps. If you love and want to make some extra money as well as earn free stuff - you need to call me! I only have a few openings left! 319-239-3736
Why trust your senior portraits to someone who doesnt know their camera? Who doesnt have the EXPERIENCE to create beautiful images? Some one who may be a little cheaper, but creates images that look unrefined? To me, it just isnt worth your time to not get the very best in photography! After all, you will only be a high school senior ONCE!

BABIES AT MY STUDIO...
this week has been full of babies. How I love them! How I wish I could kiss those sweet baby cheeks, but I am sure their parents would be kind of grossed out by my lips all over their babies.... It is so difficult to hold myself back...they are PURE CUTENESS! Love them!
Here are a few I photographed in the last couple of days...
This is baby Quinn. He is the inspiration of some new products I am helping my lab design...you will have to check back and see when I post them ;-)

Meet Benjamin Button - oh I mean Baby Cullen. He's like this little man -
I love the bright vibrant colors -
Meet Baby Nolyn. He cried the majority of his 3 month session...but I finally captured this sweet and beautiful image...my fav from his session!

This is Baby Chase. I went to his home for this session. Always serious. He cracked one special smile for me and here it is! Luckily I captured it! 

I first photographed Baby Cale before he was even born! His parents came in for their maternity session....and now he is 9 months old in these images...Next time he comes in, I will photograph his one year portraits...I hope the weather cooperates and we get to go outside. He should be walking by then and I am sure I will be chasing him!
