New Project…Automobiles!

Tanner, Justin & Ava in their Great Great Grandfather's Car

My husband’s family recently acquired a 1095 Sears MotorBuggy that used to belong to my Husband’s Great Grandfather. Now my Mother and Father-in-Laws are frequenting various auto shows across the Valley. Because of this I have been inspired to see if there is a market for Auto Art.

My theory is that I will create an art-piece of the vehicle that will PROUDLY be hung in the home. No more relegating to just the garage, no I want this are to be front and center in the home. So I am trying my hand at digital painting to see what I can come up with. It is fun taking on a new avenue in this business. We’ll see where it takes me!

I’d love your feedback on the images to help me develop this new project! THANKS!

Wow what a start to the year! We have had so many newborn babies in the studio this month.
The S. family came in for their maternity session in December and then Celebrated the new year with a new little girl!

I just finished editing and posting baby Dylan’s newborn pics last night. I am so thrilled to continue with this family’s 2nd child. It always amazes me to watch “my” kiddos grow up and become big brothers or sisters. Thank You B. family for including me in your budding family once again!

Halloween is Coming!!

Brenda — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 05:54:00 +0000

Most of you should know by now my favorite time of the year is Fall and I absolutely LOVE Halloween. Now that I have my own kids, Halloween has changed a bit with the focus on the kids and not me, but I still love this time of year!

I am having my next Saturday photo session on October 10th. The theme for this session is:

Celebrating Your Little Pumpkin with A Bunch of Smiles!

Packages start at $40 and include 2 sheet prints. Larger packages are available, as well as Photo cards and other miscellaneous gifts. The session fee includes one child, with a $10 fee per additional child in the image.

Sessions are booked every 15 minutes and are by appointment only – with the popularity of this session I suggest you call for your timeslot as soon as possible!

Due to the restrictive nature of these appointment times a $20 non-refundable fee will be required to hold your appointment time.

The background for the session is still being finalized, but I would love to have an outside set – weather permitting! You can bet that it will be a fall theme with leaves and pumpkins, though!!

I am so excited about this session and just love to see your little pumpkin(s) in their costumes or fall outfits. You are welcome to bring your child in regular clothes and then change them to their costumes here – good luck getting it off of them after the session though!!

Call (602) 527-6595 to schedule your timeslot or ask any addional questions you may have about the session.

Bryan – Celebrating Life Newborn

Brenda — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:23:00 +0000

I just love this family!! I have been their photographer since Ysabella was 3 months old (she is now 4) . This family is so blessed to have such a wonderful baby. Bryan was so easy going and his brother (Bruss) and sister (Ysabella) were so great with him!
If you are friends or family of the Bowmans and you know their event code you can see more of their images by clicking here!

Ysabella is already a pro at being a big sister, she was so happy to kiss baby Bryan and hold him!

This is Bruss’s big debut as a big brother! He was very curious about Bryan and loved kissing him!

Sweet snuggle time with mommy.
