Happy New Year!

I hope each and every one of you have a healthy, happy and prosperous 2009. Thank you all for your continued business and support.

As always, I'd like to hear from any of you who would like to offer new ideas for products in the studio. Is there something you have seen elsewhere and would like me to offer in studio? Let me know.

Books: We are now offering a book with paper pages. This book costs us less to produce so it is less to you as well. We waited to offer this book because we wanted to find one that offers the quality you have come to expect from us. We found one and it is wonderful.

Long Time

Catching up . . . .

As most of you know by now, I'm a grandmother - twice! Yes, Lilly just turned four and she has a brother, Gage, born in February. I have such a great time with them and would love to be a full time grandma. Lilly loves to come to the studio to dress up and she looks at the photos of the young girls in their pretty dresses and insists that she do the same thing. What fun.

Gage is quite the big boy and the happy boy. They came by the office the other day and we just threw them in front of the camera and got a couple of cute shots for you to see. Enjoy!

Last Week

Last week was a very busy time at the studio and this week is looking to be as busy. I was fortunate enough to have a few children that have been in the studio many times before. I'm honored when my clients continue to come to see me year after year.

I was allowed to photograph Reagan and she is as sweet and cute as ever. We did a variety of poses which included a favorite dress and a family portrait. I'm showing one of her with her lovely hair (don't we all wish we had her hair?) and one during her tea party.

Later in the week Ava came in for her six month session and brought her older brother and sister (both of whom I have photographed their first year) and let them take part in her session. Ava joined the tea party, but I've chosen a photo of Brooke and Sean having the tea party and then Ava posing in her lovely dress. Isn't she a doll? Big sister, Brooke has turned into quite the lovely young lady and handsome brother Sean is quite the gentleman!

They enjoyed dressing up in Miss Sheri's clothes and hats.

Binkie Buddies are here . . . . .

Okay, this weekend I have been working on the Binkie Buddie photo shoot. Yep. If you have a baby that likes his/her pacifier and you are concerned about breaking them in the future - these things are for you! They are the cutest. You just put your "binkie" in the mouth of the buddie you have selected - then when it is time to take them off the "binkie" you simply remove it and let them keep the buddie. They have bonded with their buddy and it isn't as traumatic for the child. The web site isn't up yet, but it will be soon. I'll keep you posted and give you a link with it is in operation.

Milo Gallery

Have you guys been to Milo Gallery on Highway 70 in Kingston Springs? It is such a cute place to visit. You want to just hang around in the cool shade in front of the gallery and cruise around looking at the neat "stuff". While there, pop inside the gallery and check out my work they have on display (and for sale) there. Tell Nicki and Ron that Sheri Reno says hello.

Some Days are Diamonds . . .

Some days are diamonds in the garden. After our first blooming came and went, the second came back even better. I expect the garden to only get better as the season progresses. The weather is beautiful and our new purple chair is ready.

Kayla and Gracie

Today Kayla came in for her senior session. Congratulations Kayla! The session went quite well. We spent a couple of hours inside and outside and time just flew by.

Kayla was accompanied by Gracie (with mom, of course) and I captured a couple of images of her as well. Both subjects were quite delightful! Gracie is 21 months old and you would think she had been coming here since birth. Thanks Gracie!

Fun sessions with Sheri this week!

I have had a couple of "fun" sessions this week with some of my regulars. First of all Rosaleigh came in for her one year portrait session (part of the baby package at Fine Art Photography). At her eight month session, she brought her sister, Lilly so I've posted their black and white image as well. We have to offer equal time, you know!

Later in the week we have Katie. She has been coming to the studio regularly since birth as well. Yesterday was her five year portrait session. WOW, has she gotten tall. I'll post more beautiful images that we took, but I wanted to get these out there this morning. It was a fun day inside and outside at the studio.

Have a great day, everyone. The weather here is perfect for a session!
