More sneak peekies…

I am SO very blessed to meet so many FUN, EXCITING, NICE, and just generally CHEERFUL people in my line of work! I LOVE getting to know people. The other day a client sent me to a fun little store to check out some amazing cards that she was going to use for her Christmas cards…the store was darling and I am SO in love with paper. Many of you may not have known that about 5 years ago I started a scrapbooking company called Scrapworks. I sold my portion of it later…but I have always been a LOVER of all things paper. I have taught scrapbook classes all over the US and have always loved to scrapbook.  As a child I used to decorate all of my letters to cousins and always got 100% for my beautiful coloring in school. I think my craft has just switched to taking photographs now…

So when I peeked into this fun new little store I was pleasantly surrounded by the SMELL of paper (my fav), and the SIGHT of paper, and even the texture of the paper as I got to touch all the samples.

LYDIA  BEAULIEU is the delightful owner of PAPER JOY

It is a darling little store and when I walked in they were in the midst of hand making holiday cards! I LOVED watching them and seriously would have stayed longer and helped if I didn’t have to get back to all the beautiful images I have taken lately!

The store is located on Campbell and 40th street and is right next to a fun little bakery so it smells great all the time!  SO if you are needing holiday cards done….you can check out PAPER JOY and get started!

Another fun person I have gotten reacquanted with recently  is Jared Bartlett. We went to high school together  and became friends again through facebook…don’t you LOVE facebook!   He is the owner of Resonate (RZN8) media

He is AMAZING at what he does. He specializes in branding, logo, website work and more….he has totally helped me with my newsletters and I have LOVED the response I have gotten from them! SO if you are in need of his services check him out. He and his family came to my afternoon mini session last week and got super muddy with me! Here are his two boys…they are SUPER silly!

After the Bartlett family I got to photograph the “R” family….I photographed them couple of years ago and it was so fun to see how big the kids had gotten. I LOVE to watch kids get older and see how much they have changed…

After the “R”’s  I got to hang with my good buddy Stephanie…you may recognize her from this show….SONORAN LIVING

We have gotten to be fast friends over the last couple of years and so she brought her sweet family for me to  photograph….aren’t they cute…

and for this last shot….I told her son to kick my camera….and this is one of my favorite images! (the camera was not hurt too bad in the making of this picture)

Next up I got to hang out with the “K” girls….they are four sisters that are SUPER giggly and unfortunately got very muddy….(sorry amy)….but we got some GORGEOUS shots of these funny little girlies and it was so fun to see them again. I photographed these girls when I was just starting out a couple of years ago and they are SO incredibly photogenic…

And the last family that had to deal with the mud and rain was the “V” family…I had photographed them a couple years back as well and it truly is a treat for me to see how BEAUTIFUL some of my first clients have become!  It just warms my heart to have repeat customers that trust me with something so important as a great family picture! Here is mom and dad…

and brother and sister….

and then just sister….

In the next couple of days I will have more sneak peeks up from this past weeks session and sweet little “L” who just turned 3 months as well as a baby shoot of some of my fav clients.

Stay tuned….and check below for HOLIDAY MINI-SESSION DETAILS….there are only 4 spots left. And…don’t forget to check out the details of the photography classes below as well!
