Drayson is ending his senior year in a couple of months, and before he graduates we got some great senior portraits when he was in the studio last week! here are a couple of previews...

Sage (and George the giraffe)

2011-03-11T17:15:00.000-08:00

Sage and her mom and dad (and George as I mentioned above), were in last week for her 2 year pictures. She was a little tired when she first got to the studio, but after some fun with the all important George (which created many great shots!) she was her old self again and was teaching me colors, shapes and even counted to 10. Here are a couple of her previews!

collin and danielle (and mom and dad)

2011-03-08T16:44:00.000-08:00

Collin and his little sister Danielle came in for a session last week. Of course Mom and Dad came along too. Collin has been to the studio many times and I got to meet his little sister this time! They both did great, here are a few previews.

nick had a super cool idea, he wanted some of his senior pictures with his guitar and he wanted to be in the snow. so we did just that, and even though 5 minutes into the shoot one of my feet went into the creek, (water was very cold), we endured and got some AWESOME shots. here are a couple of his previews.

Oliver 6 weeks

2011-02-22T12:27:00.001-08:00

I just got this telescope a couple of days ago that i have been eyeing for years, so Oliver is the first person to use it. (EXACTLY the reason after all these years i have eyeing the telescope that i finally went ahead and got it!! lol) Anyway, here is my little grand-model Oliver Arthur, at six weeks.

Lily's birthday

2011-02-15T07:31:00.000-08:00

Lily was in for her 4 year pictures, and she did so great, posing her little heart out and giggling on cue!! Which in turn had her mom and I giggling. And any day laughing and having fun is a big plus!!! Happy Birthday Lily!

Oliver

2011-01-20T16:42:00.000-08:00

too cold to take the baby to the studio, so brought the studio (at least some of it) home to him! here are couple more grandbaby pics.

2011-01-18T20:07:00.000-08:00

he is perfect!

2011-01-13T22:04:00.001-08:00

Get Ready to say "NO WAY!!". To all the people who have been trying to make appts or pick up pictures, and havent been able to reach me, i apologize. I promise to get back on track asap, however, this week the best thing ever happened to us. My daughter was feeling horrible, cold shaky and in a lot of pain on Sunday night. So a panicked, (with much panicking as you can imagine if you know me) a super quick trip was made by all of us to the ER. After a quick diagnosis (was thinking appendix, food poisoning, ..) she was rushed to...., are you ready for this part... the DELIVERY ROOM. she has had no symptoms, no weight gain,none of the normal signs you know you are pregnant (not going into too much detail, lol). She was a trooper, no meds, no complaining, course when you are in shock its kind of hard to complain. I, was pretty sure i was still asleep and dreaming had to sit on the floor to keep from falling there! so roughly 45 minutes-one hour after we got to the hospital MY (well i have to share) new grandchild came into the world a total shock to us all. The funniest part ever is that since we didnt know what was wrong and that we would be coming home with a baby, i didnt have my CAMERA!! He will have a story to tell when he grows up about how he came into the world. My friends and anyone who has ever been into d studios with small children know how much i want a grandchild. my dream came true on 1:10 am on 1.10.11. Here he is!

Lisa

2011-01-03T11:22:00.000-08:00

This gorgeous senior has some very unique and interesting extra curricular activities. One among the many, is that she is a member of the Civil Air Patrol! How cool. She is very photogenic and I had a great time photographing her. Here are a couple of her previews.

Happy New Year!!

2011-01-03T11:21:00.001-08:00

2011 will be an exciting year for d studios, building on all my years of photography (19 years) and all the great clients i have, this year is gonna be AWESOME!!!

Merry Christmas!

2010-12-24T05:54:00.000-08:00

This year has been a great year at d studios thanks to you all!! thank you and Merry Christmas.

Danica

2010-12-14T06:40:00.000-08:00

I have know this little sweetie's mom since she was a little girl, and I have known her dads parents a long time as well, I photographed their wedding also. Which makes photographing little Danica's first photo shoot an honor. At only 7 weeks, not only did she stay awake the whole sitting, she even SMILED!! here are a couple of her previews....

Danny and Katy

2010-12-09T10:39:00.000-08:00

They say that "the beauty is in the details". the details in this wedding were phenomenal. Snowflakes were everywhere (even outside is was a light snow all day,they must have put in their order early!). The church and the reception hall, the Rivoli theater in Monmouth( a super cool place for a reception, by the way) were both decorated down to the smallest detail. We also stopped at Monmouth College for a few pics, its where they met. One of the preview pictures reminds me a lyric from a Brad Paisley song "your best man's embarrassing speech", I love that picture. Both Danny and Katy's friends and family seem like they are all so close. thanks for letting me be a part of your day, enjoy the previews.....

Jack, Alivia and Leah

2010-12-06T17:14:00.000-08:00

These three are all 2 years old right now, well at least until big brother Jack turns 3 soon. I loved their energy, and talk about smart kids, WOW. We had a ton of fun, tried lots of things and succeeded at most! lol I am putting up individuals on my blog, coz i only got a couple of the three of them all in the same place at the same time and am saving them till all their proofs are ready!! Here are some previews...

Miah, Presley and Xavier

2010-11-24T14:41:00.000-08:00

These kids and their parents were in for a family sitting last week.Again, i love this because I photographed their parents wedding a couple of years ago. Presley just turned 16, and if that wasnt cool enough, she just got her braces off, so i was sure to get her to smile her biggest smile! Miah was such a trooper because she was getting tired but she toughed it out and gave me some awesome, awesome smiles as you can see here! Here are a couple of their previews...

Childrens Portrait Study

2010-11-24T13:26:00.000-08:00

Open House at d studios this sat during ol' fashioned Christmas. 1:30-4. "unveiling" the new line of childrens portraits. I am giving away the sitting for this and the finished painting to one lucky person on sat. This is a $200 value! Be sure to come in and have a cookie and register!

Arabella

2010-11-24T07:51:00.000-08:00

Now look at this little beauty! I photographed her before she was born when I did her mom's pregnancy portraits. She is so cute, and her mom, dad and brother are so happy to have this sweet addition to the family! Here are a couple of previews.

Kalleigh, Josie and Nathan

2010-11-24T07:45:00.000-08:00

I photographed these children's parents wedding several years ago, which means having them come to d studios is an honor. I have photographed Kalleigh several times since she was born, as well as her brother and sister several times. If you have ever been to the studio and seen the picture of a little guy dancing like crazy at a wedding, that picture is Nathan! Still one of my favorite pictures! Here are a couple of previews from this session...

Kayla

2010-11-24T07:30:00.000-08:00

Kayla was in for her senior session last week. Her Dad and Grandma came along to share in the fun which I thought was awesome! I also loved her big beautiful eyes. We did some cool things for her pictures, here are a couple of previews...

Chelsee

2010-11-24T07:26:00.000-08:00

With very few leaves left, we still were able to get a few outside pictures during this seniors session. She also has two adorable little min pins that we had a lot of fun with! Here are a couple of previews from adorable Chelsee's portraits....
