a sneak peak -

Look as this sweeeeeet family.... :) Aren't they precious!
They had about a 3 hour notice for this session...I had a rescheduled session on this day and thought what the heck...I'd just give them a call to see if they wanted to take this appt instead of waiting...She literally had 3 hours to get ready for it! And she even went shopping before the appt! Dayna, you rock!
Haven't been able to work on your pics just yet...but, wanted to at least get a few sneak peaks done. Can't wait to work on all of them!
Baby is so precious!!! and GORGEOUS eyes!

Happy Fall!

Well, I haven't been able to post many sneak peaks (pretty much at all!) this whole summer. It has been very busy for me...a real challenge trying to keep up with everything.

I am completly booked for 2008. I have a waiting list for cancellations...if you would like to be on this list just give me a call or email. There is a possibility that I may do "mini" sessions in late October. (this will only be if I get caught up with my work).

I will also be adding some Christmas Card samples on the blog soon...........

Hope everyone's summer went awesome! It sure flew by!!!
