It’s time to show off the Smith family today! We fit this gorgeous family into an EARLY morning Limited Edition session this fall and I’m so glad we did. We were working to find time to fit them in before a day full of activities/games and it came together perfectly with this beautiful sunrise light.

While I loved this session, I’m most excited about how this family decided to display their images! This was the first time this family had worked with us and Aimee was excited to not only have professional images created but also to display them in their home. She came in with a number of wall images so we could design something perfect for their space (one that already featured a gorgeous shabby chic door hung right on their wall – real statement piece!). While she wasn’t opposed to moving that large piece to replace it with a portrait similar in size (60″ +) we instead decided to design with it in mind and create a smaller series of images that could be hung together or moved around as they like.

Doing a number of canvases also allowed us to feature each of the kids’ favorite portraits of themselves and a couple different family poses for different spaces in the house.

By far my favorite thing to create for families are their personal home galleries! We wake up to 3 of our wedding images each day, and walk down stairs past 60 inches of portraits of ourselves (which will soon be growing with the addition of at least 5 new wall art pieces in our gallery to show off BabyB). And while writing this it seems a bit narcissistic, in reality it doesn’t feel that way at all. It instead fills my heart with love and joy for my family each day when I get to see us happy, loving and together on our walls. And the best part is little BabyB points and says ‘mommy, daddy, bear, lily’ when she sees them too!

Full family sessions are often tough to fit into your busy schedules (I know, scheduling acrobatics is a bit part of my job!) but imagine what we can create for your family and for your home with just 15/30 minutes… just a single Limited Edition in 2017 could add a little love and light to your home and I’d love to be a part of creating that for you.

Booking is open NOW for our 2017 Limited Edition Session dates and full sessions are already filling fast (sunset spaces in for fall especially!). You can book your Limited Edition Session right HERE right NOW!

free portrait sessions mini session giveawayI rarely have the chance to give a session away since we devote so much time to our clients the schedule doesn’t always allow for it but these new Limited Edition sessions are shorter and in excitement for kicking them off I decided to have a little fun and give one away on our Facebook Page! It was so fun to see people get so excited to share/comment and try for their free session. We had people enter trying for images of their seniors, families, kids, and even pets!

And this lovely gal, Olivia, was our winner!!! I know seniors get a lot of focus since the transition from high school is a big life event but so often we miss out on photographing the earlier teen years which I think are SO fun and important. This is the time when your children are growing up, testing out newfound independence, trying on new styles, and figuring out who they are. It’s also a time when teens are often shy, self conscious and may not always want to be in front of the camera (that was not the case with Olivia which was so fun!).

Olivia is a freshmen and this year is a big one for her too as she transitions into high school. She’s already excited to come back in a couple years for senior portraits but I’m SO glad we got to show off her personality and style at this age (so much will change in the next 4 years and I cannot wait to see her again in a few years).

Check out some of our favorite images from Olivia’s session and be sure to like and follow our Facebook Page so you can get in on the next chances to WIN a FREE Limited Edition Session.
