Soooo.... I wanted to tell the world about a totally DELISH package I got yesterday... Uhm yeah.... 3 bottles of wine from my friend Heather who was married a couple weeks ago!!! YEAH!! I'm so excited... and TRUST me.. This stuff is sooo good... :) This morning when I was taking these pics, I realized I had never had wine for breakfast before... and ya know what? I liked it...

More Fall Daze...

This ranks right up there in my FAVORITE category.... This little guy was soooooooo cute and smiley!! I think I said, "Oh my GOD! He is soooo cute!" about 100 times.... Anyway ~ here's a sneak peak of their session.... I should do more outside, but alas..... the snow did me in and now it's just too wet... :(Ok, so I lied and I got the "Puppy Dog Eyes of the Year" photo.... But who can resist that????Love, Love, LOVE!! it!

Congrats Johnson Family!!

Ms. Lilli and her family are the winners of the FALL DAZE 16x20 Framed Print (in Barn Wood of course) from studio 60!! CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks to all of you who joined in the fun, and lived through the rain and reschedules!

New Card Designs from studio 60...

Just got this in.............. LOVE IT!!!!!

This particular one has been modified for a Thank You Wedding card, but is actually quite versatile for Christmas, New Year's or whatever your liking!! Just thought I'd keep the Holiday ideas flowing since they're sneakin' up on us PRETTY quickly. This particular card is 5x7 in size with a wide opening... so it's folded on the short end instead of the long.... All cards include the envelopes and if you are a procrastinator!!!! these cards can be ordered and received fairly quickly although I really wouldn't recommend that!

A Little Peanut!

Maggie & her Mom & Dad stopped over for a few pictures! What a cute little babe! It's hard to even remember Lilly when she was only 3 months old! They're just so little!Mommy said that she LOVES being the flying baby!!! She just giggled and smiled the whole time!

Heather + Joe (the WEDDING)

So..... Our little trip was lovely. Bayfield is the prettiest little town and a very refreshing change of scenery when all you see is CORN outside your door! I love the lake, the blue, the pretty colors of fall and the fact that I got to witness a good friend being married off! Here are some of the maaaaaany images from their wedding... Enjoy... PS: the whole damn place is on a hill so don't give me any grief if everything looks like it's leaning!!!Joe didn't see Heather before the wedding and I love this shot of the Best Man looking at Joe, and Heather's brother's (far right) expression!! Priceless!Check out that tree! It couldn't have been any prettier!And of course........ The first dance......I COULD NOT resist.... Heather, luv ya!!! Joe!!! Hey JOE!!! Where are you???

New Album Cover Choices....

So I was just looking at my Album company website and noticed that there are few new cover choices out there!!! Now, if you haven't figured it out yet, or you're just a little slow, I have made another trail in the studio 60 woods to include Boudoir Photography... :) Simple, tasteful, marketed towards the married women of the world who need a little pick me up and a little fun! I won't go into detail, but just give me a holler and I'll send you the info I have thus far....
ANYWAY!

Here are some of the new choices.... Most are available now, and they should all be ready in the near future... But I had to share what Christine over at Finao posted in her BLOG about these albums...

Ya, we got it. A whole new color card for the One and Upper Elements. Suede that is lush and deep and sensuously invites you to draw patterns with your fingers. Patent leather, so sinfully smooth it evokes unspoken thoughts.
Welcome Urban Legends, a pallet that is the city, the night, the good and the very, very bad ...

Red Light District (devilishly deep red patent leather)
Something Wicked (sexy thigh high black patent leather boots)
Lusterin'HOT (totally hot pink for naughty girls)
Queen For a Day (Rich, deep purple. So many meanings, so many thoughts)
Copenhagen (Warm tobacco brown like the back alley lights of an old city)
Fexy Bleau (cool blue, the color of the movies she made)
Junk Yard Dog (dark and brown and mean - Bad, bad.)
Rainy Day Woman (muted moss, wafting smoke, memories of another time)


How awesome is that????

It's refreshing for a company to be so stoked about their own product and not be afraid of showing it!

Love Love LOVE it!

Work Faster When It's Colder!!!

I think we broke the speed limit with how fast we did these photos!! We done good! Some great friends and their cute kiddos.... What more could you ask for?? Thank you guys for supporting my madness!

Morgan.... the cutey petutey!!Taylor.... Thinking... It's cold out and what am I doing in this tub???
I'm a sucker for the interaction moments!!
...and my absolute favorite.... Love you guys!

Another Fall Favorite...

I just had to include another picture of one of my babies here, especially since we're going for the fall theme and all... This is Skye, my first 'Baby Girl'... I just love her! And yes, she ALWAYS sits with her legs crossed and proper like this!! She doesn't fetch. She's afraid of thunder. She jumps like a deer and there are NO squirrels around at all... She steals things that you sit outside and I think she only knows how to 'Sit', but she's a good foot warmer and she keeps my Mom company at her place... I wouldn't have her any other way.

Mike + Emily (the ENGAGEMENT)

Mike & Emily stopped by for a cloudy run around 'The Hill'.... Here's a sneak peek at some of their images... I sooooo can NOT wait for their wedding in December!

Fall Daze by the Barn, 2008

For those of you who haven't scheduled yet.... it's probably a good thing because it seems Mother Nature had other plans for the weekend... Here's a few sessions we got in whilst the sun was still shining!!!
Everyone remember little Lilli from a few months ago?? Isn't she adorable??

We dug out the tractor for Izack and it was a hit!!
The troops.... my two daughters, Faith & Lilly; and my nieces and nephew, Cassie, Maggie & Curtis...
Hmmmmmm Mom! All this stuff to play with!!1
My little buddy Curtis...
Kallie examining the gourds....

Lilly's First Birthday

Well folks, today is Lilly Anne's First Birthday... We had a little party for her last night... Lots of new clothes! Lots of cake to eat (and to clean up....) and lots of fun!
we finally just gave her a big 'ole piece instead of the whole thing and she dug right in!!!

Kristin + Justin (the WEDDING)

We had so much fun for their wedding... We took most of their images at Lakeside Gold Course, Perham, MN... I said to myself..... "Self!!!! You should learn yourself how to golf... If nothing else.. for the scenery." It really is a beautiful golf course, with little nooks and crannies and water ways and bridges and did I forget to mention that LUSH GREEN GRASS???? It's my favorite. Love it. I'll shut up now, here's the sneak peek... :)


Aren't they adorable????

The course was busy since it was soooo gorgeous out and I had to laugh because these golfers were lookin' at us kind of weird, like they've never seen 10 carts go by with people in formal clothes before..... strange...
the kiss. the perfect ending to a perfect day. or should I say, the perfect beginning to the rest their lives!! ahhhhhhhhhhh.... mushy!!! ;)
