Welcome to my blog!

Many of you know my dear friend and fellow entrepreneur Carrie Tracy.  She is another artful soul who happens to own the coolest boutique in town, Bloom.  She sent me a couple photos she took of how she hung her adorable little guy’s portraits (from Photography by Carrie of course!)  I just love her design sense and thought I would share her vision.  I also offer those gorgeous frames here in the studio for those of you who have fallen in love with them just by seeing them in this post.  I adore these frames and they’ve been a huge seller here in the studio.  If you mention this blog post when you order one of these frames, I’ll give you 10% off!  Happy Monday everyone.

This adorable little girl started my day with such belly laughs yesterday.  I had to share one that I think will make you smile.  Baby C you are Adorable with a capital A.  Much love.

Wow, where does the time go?  I have a zillion shoots I want to post but just not enough time to do it.  I’m going to try though.  Christmas has got me crazy, I can’t sleep, I can’t think—but I can always eat!  Here’s Cassie, one gorgeous senior girl from Saxony who is stunningly beautiful.  I can never get enough of her!   And the girl is not only a pretty face–she’s an all star athlete!  I couldn’t ask for more.  Cassie you rocked your session.  You inspire me.  Much love, C
