TGIF


Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone! 

I hope you get to relax, enjoy the sunshine, and maybe take a nap or two (Clara definitely has the right idea if you ask me!) as summer kicks off this weekend. Sounds like it will be a hot one - a trip to the pool may be in order, don't you think?

I'll be back next week with more sessions to share and a feature on St. Bridget's Flower Farm!

Myelle [North Liberty, IA Children Photography]

I'm not sure how to start this post, as these photos are somewhat bittersweet for me. Lindsay first contacted me in the spring of 2011 to take Myelle's 6 month photos and we became great friends very quickly. Sadly, Lindsay, Adam, and Myelle will be moving in the next few weeks out to Oregon (their dream location!!). I am so happy for them, as this is where they really want to be and have been given some great opportunities, but I am sad for me as I will really miss my wonderful friends.

We met up last Sunday evening, at the most gorgeous place - St. Bridget's Flower Farm (more info on this place in a future post - Cathy is so incredibly sweet and you have to see the impromptu bouquet she made for Myelle as we were leaving). We had a great session, exploring the beautiful farm and getting some pretty photos along the way. I hope you guys enjoy the sneak peek! Lindsay, Adam, and Myelle - thank you for being such wonderful friends, I can't wait to come out to visit you guys sometime soon! You will be sorely missed (thank goodness for Skype!!).

Myelle found a very patient cat to "nap" with. I think this is one of my favorites! Myelle-8063 copy*

The light in these next few just makes me sigh with happiness. I just love these photos of Myelle with her mom and dad!!

Madera Custom Portrait Album

Earlier this year I started offering Madera Custom Albums to my brides & grooms, and I'm also thrilled to offer these gorgeous Madera Custom Portrait Albums to my portrait clients. Albums are a great way to show off your photos, and although they are a bit more of an investment from the traditional hardcover book that I offer, these Madera albums feature custom layouts, layflat pages, and more photos.

I just love the images that Melissa and Dave chose for their Madera Portrait Album from their recent maternity session, and I think they would agree that the quality of these books is outstanding. Truly this album took my breath away when I opened it, and I believe each client that chooses to purchase a book like this would feel the same.

These books feature a custom cover and I offer them in 8x10 or 5x5 size, and in my top portrait collection (although available as an upgrade in any of the other collections with books). These books would also be a great addition to a wedding collection as an engagement album or parent album. I strongly believe that photos belong in tangible form, not just on a disc in a drawer and this is a beautiful way to display multiple photos for generations to come!
