Oy!

Hang in there, please don't mind the mess I've made of my blog.... I hope to have it looking a little nicer soon! I don't like this header, but I think I have an idea on how to get it to 'work' now! I just need TIME :)

MUST KNOW {COLOR}

I did a maternity session last week, and when everything was done, we loaded the session onto her computer to look at. I was starting to worry that none of the pictures were properly exposed! I was beginning to freak out and worry that I didn't take ONE good picture, and that I would be doing a lot of work on them in Photoshop.... we then opened my blog and I quickly realized that it wasn't the pictures, it was actually her monitor, and colors on her screen. I was a bit surprised that she hired me, after seeing my work on her computer! lol.... so I thought I better bring it to everyone's attention that not all monitors will show things the same way. I know this too because last year I had a really old monitor, and after buying a new one... I went back to see some pictures I posted on the web to find they were all extremely overexposed. My monitor was dark so I was over compensating. A big mess anyway. SOOOO if things don't look 'right' on your computer, please take the time to check it out somewhere else and see if you can 'see' a difference! My prints that come back from the lab are really close to how they look on my monitor.... but if anyone has a concern, please do not hesitate to talk to me about it!! :)

Work, Work, Work....

It's so much fun going through pictures.... today I am working on proofs, as I have about 5 sessions to go through. Taking a little break to share this image of a family I had SO MUCH FUN working with. They are so sweet, and the children were so well behaved... we went to my favorite location too! Here's just one that made me smile.... there are so many good ones to come, but I just love how Mom is holding her son and all he wants to do is make a funny face..hehehhe I can't wait to share more!

{Personal News}

Personal....but the kind you want to share with the whole world............. Baby #3 will be joining our family end of April 2008!!!! Yuppers, I am pregnant! We are so excited, especially the kids!! Still very early but if any of you *really* know me, you know I can't keep a good secret like this for too long....heheheh I found out earlier this week, and the Dr. has confirmed it!! WOOHOOOOOOO okay back to editing pictures :) Thx for checking in!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

This time I'm sending BIG Birthday wishes to My Daddy who turns 50 today :) Anybody who knows him will agree he looks much younger for his age! We are meeting up with him and my Mom...along with my brothers and Alix and going for supper at Jubilations to celebrate. I will be away from my desk Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun... I will be checking my email throughout the weekend though!

Another special Birthday Announcement to my very good friend Angie :) Happy Birthday Chicky!

Something New!

I've been wanting to learn how to do one of these storyboards for some time now. I was sick yesterday and again today and finally had some time to figure it out (in between proofing sessions!) Thank you Angela for letting me use your proofs to try this with! Sorry I spelled Blais's name wrong........I would have had to start over to get it right, so I applogize! This storyboard is a 10x20 collage with 4 portraits from your session and would be plaque mounted... no framing! I'm going to print one for my family next month and will post pics of it on my wall so you have a better idea! I think that these would be beautiful gifts at Christmas time! Thx for looking :)

Birthday Boy #2

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUSSELL!!! The party was last week, but today is officially your day and we hope you had a lot of fun!

{Angela's Family}

See how fun my sessions are?

These boys were dancing in their seats... too cute!

I want a fence like this to take pictures against!


Okay, so this last one is a bit different then what you are probably used to seeing. First of all..... I did crop the mom/dad's heads on purpose, this wasn't a mistake ;) And it isn't because I don't like them, or they aren't beautiful people! I love how the focus is on the kids and them holding hands... I love it. I think some of you will 'get' this one, or you just won't like it and that is OK! I also added a watercolor conversion just for fun :)

Have I shared these already?

...I can't remember!? I was going through folders tonight and came across these beautiful blue eyes......she looks like a doll!! Sorry if you have already seen them, she's worth posting at least twice anyway! ;)

Tom & Allison Germain

Spent about 10 minutes with the newlyweds (Tom is my first cousin) here are a few we came up with! Thx for looking!
