I have a studio! I am super excited, I just can’t put it into words. The studio is located in the Northwestern Building at 275 East 4th St in downtown St. Paul, directly across the street from the St. Paul Farmer’s Market. I’m sharing the space with a few other photographers, so I have instant access to more equipment and props!

To celebrate, I’m offering in studio sessions for only $25! Contact me today to schedule your session! There is still plenty of time to grab that family portrait for Holiday Cards and gifts.

Here’s a map of where we are!

My favorite from her session - even though she moves too fast! It's a bit out of focus!

Is it Fall already?

Wow, where did the time go? It’s already September 21st, and I realized that I haven’t updated this since February! So, you’re wondering: What have you been doing that you haven’t written/ posted in that long? All I can say is that I’ve got 2 young kids, while running a business and keeping a house!

So, while I sort through some awesome images that I’ve taken over the last few months to showcase here, I’d like to tell you about some Fall specials I have going on. The first one I am super excited about is to celebrate my daughter’s first birthday coming up: $1 First Birthday Sessions! This offer expires on November 15th, so call to schedule your little ones Birthday Session today!

The second offer is for the entire family – an entire on location session for only $50! And if you order Holiday cards within 2 weeks of your session, I’ll take $10 off each pack of 25 cards (regularly $40), each order custom designed.

Also, I am pleased to announce that I am going to start photographing weddings again for the 2010 wedding season! For $750, the first 10 Bridal Couples that book me for their 2010 wedding date will receive: one love session, all day wedding coverage, and a CD of digital negative with accompanying release, and 15% off their album order. That’s a HUGE savings! And we will add a second photographer for only $175! All consultations are complimentary. Call 612-756-1449 to see if your date is still available!

Same footsteps??

So, yesterday was obviously Friday, and for more info than you ever need, I am needing to pump for my daughter for a certain reason. As I was doing so, with my pump on the ottoman in front of me, and my daughter in her baby papasan chair, my 2 1/2 year old son looked at my pump. There is a spot to be able to a picture of your babe to aid in “let down” and he asked what the clear plastic was for. I told him it was for a picture. He looked at me quite inquisitively for a moment and ran away.

I heard some rustling in the dining room and asked what he was doing. ”Getting a picture” he said in his little voice. ”What picture?” I replied. He answered “Mommy’s picture”. Then a zipper. Ahh – he was trying to get into Mommies camera bag and get her work camera! He wanted to bring my camera so I would take a picture of Darby to put in my pump! How sweet is he?!?!? Instead I urged him to grab his disposable camera that is still in the clear plastic wrap to take a picture of mommy!
