My first flush mount album!

I just can't help but show this off! I thought it might be nice for past brides who didn't order an album, and current brides trying to decide on their album, and future brides to see what is possible!
This book is so pretty! It was done with the photos from a wedding that I had last fall. Thanks to Brett & Lindsey for letting me use their pictures for my sample.

First, the front cover, Zookbinders brand album, standard black, size 10 x 15, 15 pages (30 sides).
Then a few pictures of the inside of the book:
A view of the gilding (in silver) and the tiny middle where the panoramic print meets at the binding. Your whole book can be done in panoramics if you wish!This next picture is of the smaller PhotoBook I had done. This is size 9 x 6, and is great for parents/siblings/wedding party members who want a smaller version of your album but for less cost than the flush mount books! This is the front cover:
And some pictures of the inside (the pages are glossy, so please excuse the color distortion from the glare!)Now I will show you the digital version of the prints that are in the book so you can see the designs I did (it's kind of like a bunch of storyboards put together).
This is the front page:
Then this layout shows the back of the brides dress with the little photos of the girls getting ready:Then a page of the Groom:And the groomsmen:A page for the beautiful bride:
The bridesmaids:The bride with her family:
The groom with his family:
Some important people (like grandparents etc)
The Bride & GroomThe wedding partyThe party posing with a car that belongs to the groom's grandfather:The wedding processional:The ceremonyThe receptionAnd the final page So that's it! I am very happy to be able to offer these beautiful books to my brides! I suppose if you wanted one from your session, we could always do that, too! :)

Two for the Harris family

We did family pictures and Benjamin's pictures, so they get two sneak peeks! :)

Reid & Reagan

These kids are super cute, and they did such a great job getting their photos taken. We started off at my house with the studio and their little personalities just showed right up...especially little miss Reagan! She's a sassy one! :) Then I gave the kids some options and they wanted their pictures taken by a brick wall, so we headed downtown. I love the brick wall ones...heck, I always love old brick walls, and these kids are just adorable, so that makes for great pictures! Once they started getting mosquito bites though, Reagan let us know it was over! :)
Here are Reid & Reagan:

Thanks so much for a fun session!

Laur Family Photos

The day we took these pictures the weather was not on our side! We met up at the home of someone Dana had gotten permission to take pictures at, and it is such a beautiful place, but as soon as we got there it started sprinkling! (You can see the raindrops hitting the water behind them) So we rushed for about half and hour and took pictures as quickly as we could, as quickly as the kids would cooperate! :) I think we managed pretty well for rushing like we did, we have lots of cute pictures of this sweet little family!
Last time I did this family's photos I got a cute one of Mommy with Reese, and it happened accidentally again this time! So cute! :)
Thanks for having me do your pictures again, it was fun! I'm glad we didn't let the rain stop us!

AnnaBelle's One Month Photos

AnnaBelle was a pleasure to photograph for her one month photos! We had to reschedule her from a few days earlier because I wasn't feeling well and didn't want to give it to her! But she did just great on the day we got to take her picture...so it was meant to be! She slept a lot, and I actually got a sort of "smile" in one picture! Here's AnnaBelle:
Here's the "smile"!
I believe they said her grandma made this little blanket...so sweet!
Thank you for letting me take AnnaBelle's pictures! She's adorable! :)

Thought you all might enjoy a few Ava funnies:
Above: this is Ava stuck inside the handle of one of her purses! She was very sad about it, I don't know why she did this, but it sure was funny! We thought we were going to have to cut it off, but the handle was fabric and finally stretched enough for us to get it off! :)
This is Ava swimming in the bubbles she made with an entire bottle of her sister's shampoo!
And here's Ava wearing my foundation:
It's hard to see, it kinda matched her skin tone! When I tried to wipe her face, she said, "No Mommy, it's pretty!"We have been trying our best to teach Ava to obey us when we tell her to do things. She isn't very good at it right now and gets into quite a bit of trouble (as you can see in the above photos!) Last night Johnny was in the garage, and I asked Ava to go tell her Daddy that it was time for supper. She went, then came back in saying, "He's not coming!" Then a few seconds later he came in the door, and she looked at me and said, "He obeyed." So she does know the meaning at least, even if she thinks her Daddy is supposed to "obey" her! :)

I'm finishing up a few more sessions, so check back for more later today!
