Where did January go?? {Perham Photographer}

Wow, to think that in 2 months... Yes, only TWO MONTHS!! It'll be time for the Schultz family to expand by one. It doesn't seem possible, yet it gives me a little excitement knowing that until then, the days are getting longer and the temps will be getting warmer {well, maybe...}

I wanted to extend the Baby Portrait Plan invitation to all of you who are expecting or know someone who is... It's such a super offer that it's almost ridiculous, but I KNOW how difficult it is to keep track of photos, and those little milestones of Baby's First Year... This is the definite NO BRAINER of all photo opportunities!

5 Sessions : Newborn, 3, 6, 9 and 12 Months all for $159!! Regular individual sessions are $99! Plus you receive a complimentary 5x7 Gift Print with each session... and no obligation to buy anything else. At the end of the 5 completed sessions, you are entitled to your choice of one of MANY great gift options, exclusively from studio 60!

The wonders of a Newborn...

I can't begin to explain why the wee babies amaze me so much... Is it because they're so perfect and little? Is it because I'm a mother {somehow, I don't even think the BEST Dad's even comprehend the miracle of it all} and I know that after 9 months of being uncomfortable and gaining weight and going through what could be the most painful experience that should happen to a person without drugs.... it all gets forgotten when that little person arrives in this world. When they're little and just sleep and eat because they're growing and pretty soon running and in school.... but when they're tiny for such a short time, nothing else matters...

I had the honor of meeting this little man last week, and to be honest... As much as I feel like I've "done THAT before" and also getting prepared for #3 in our house in a couple months, I just can't help but get happy and goo goo eyed... Weird. I know. Especially when my 10 and 2 year old were arguing upstairs during the session {much to my frustration}.... Go figure.

Anyway! Here's a sneak at Mr. R's session. Thanks Mom and Dad for choosing me to capture his First Year.

Lots going on!

Oh for the love of everything that's good... I've been terrible at Blogging lately! Too many things to do, too much procrastination, too many distractions... TOO MUCH FACEBOOK! Ha! No really...

On Saturday I attended the funeral of my Great Aunt... someone who was like another Grandmother to me, but strangely like a long lost best friend! I've obviously known her my whole life, but recently, as an adult, had the chance to reconnect with her during a recovery from a heart attack... We talked about anything and everything, from soup to nuts and she just inspired me so much... I know I was completely partial to her and her whims because as my Dad's aunt, she always thought of him as a favorite... I loved when she would tell me stories about her childhood and also anything that related to my Dad and Grandfather... Dad's been gone for 5 1/2 years and Grandpa will be 10 in a few weeks... The Old Lady had a Christmas Cactus that belonged to her mother, my Great-Grandmother, and I received part of it after the funeral... What a way to start a conversation about the cactus that will HOPEFULLY grow and continue to bring back memories of my time with her!

Anyway, I cried like a baby, and I'm sure got some strange looks, but she really was an inspiration, being a widow for 37 years and raising 7 kids! Oh yes, I could go on and on and on... I'm just glad that the Lord intervened in her life, so I could have the chance to spend time with her... She'll be dearly missed.

I don't even have a photo for you, even as I'm looking outside and seeing some of the prettiest frost on the trees. I should venture out and get a few photos!

Today marks Week 30! I really can't believe it! Yesterday we had an ultrasound and watched 'Baby' puckering her lips and it was so cute... Amazing. The next few weeks will fly by, I'm sure.

Lilly is with my Mom and Faith is at school, so the house is quiet, except for the rumble of the dishwasher and my Husband of 3 WHOLE years {today!} is listening to Swap 'N' Shop in the Jacuzzi... ??? Yes. This is our life! Crazy.

Bring on the Babies!

Here at studio 60, one of the hardest clients AND possibly some of my favorite... are the babies. Sweet innocent little angels. One of the Good Lord's perfect miracles we can witness almost everyday. Of course all God's children are miracles, but when attitudes, tempers and even some degree of 'adultness' sets in... It's hard to believe that... HA!

No really...

I'm super excited to hear about the new babies arriving in 2010, and even more excited about the ones that will be visiting me for their portraits!

Here are some of the GREAT new announcements available at studio 60. Remember! These are totally custom to suit our clients needs and all of them are available in, of course, Blue or Pink, making for about 12 new designs all together! Love them sooo much!
