I can’t say enough nice things about this dress and Is designer that is Nina Is wearing from Bambalina. I adore it—every detail is perfection. The designer is incredibly talented and genuinely kind, which makes supporting this brand even sweeter. This featured post of our Nina says it all, please check it out. Contact me if you’re interested in photographing your girl in one of these beauties.

Check out these cuties. The family had a special delivery right before their shoot was scheduled. We were able to include their sweet newest addition of their baby sister. So many cute shots it’s hard to pick just one to share.

These two are still firm believers (so am I)
I think this is their third time with Santa so we had to get creative. If you look close you can see their fur baby dressed in matching Jammie’s. So dang cute!

Fun story about this family. They traveled all the way from Chicago for a visit with Santa. Although there are plenty of great photographers between us, I’m beyond flattered they picked ME!
This was their second visit for photos and I just adore this family!
Only one set of grandkids could make it to this visit but they brought along their sweet great grandpa. His smile lights up the room (and my heart)🥰. He was so excited to be a part of it all. Grandpa is well traveled thanks to his amazing daughter who takes him on all kinds of adventures. Definitely living his best life!

I’ll be sharing a few photos from our Santa session over the next several days. (From those who ok it of course)

These two boys are the sweetest. The youngest wasn’t too sure about Santa but they pulled through with some great shots. This one we had to sneak Santa in 😆

Here is little Miss Maggie In her Valentine cuddles. Her cute pose proved harder than I thought to incorporate into any idea I originally thought would work. So when all else fails, snuggle her in a bunch of furry bears 😆. I think I will be sticking to my own poses to save my sanity next time. 😂😉 Thank you again for all who played and I may do another In the future!

PLEASE VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE 💘⬇️

Here are the top runners for the contest.

It was much harder than I thought it would be and since I couldn’t narrow it down to three, we have four. I had to turn to my family and friends to narrow it down. And these are their choices (and one of my personal picks)☺️

Now I need all your help in deciding the winner.

Vote by ”liking your favorite photo that you would like to see edited into a fun Valentine scene.

Choose by the subject only, not the background.

The photo with the most likes at the end of the day will be the winner. 2-2-22💘🥳

♥️ Contest has ended as of today 2-1-22
Stay tuned!

Hello again everyone! I’d like to share a photo of our youngest. This little Valentine will be 18 months old already this February. This type of photo is called a composite. I take my photo and several other images and backgrounds. Layer, position, and edit them to look cohesive to creating a fun result.
I normally don’t offer these because they take a lot of hours to complete so just to mention, these are not offered for sale at this time.

However….keep reading. ☺️

So as many of you know my page has been silent for some time. I’ve been on a break from
doing photos since Covid and my now busier life with a new baby. If you are reading this I know
you have been a loyal follower of my page and I want to thank you for sticking around! I’d like to show some appreciation and have decided to do something fun. New followers are welcome to play too!!!

(And if you have read this far THANK YOU!) 😆

I am going to do a little contest. I will be editing a free Valentine composite for one winning follower. It will be a surprise, different than the one you see here.
Few rules.
You must be follower my page and like this post. 👍🏻
Next you need to comment below with ONE photo of your little valentine(s). You can have more than one child in the photo but only one photo is to be submitted per person. I will select the top three photos based off the criteria below.

Hints to be picked as a favorite will be:

Full body photos.
Well focused (not blurry) and yes I can use cellphone photos.
Creative poses. (It helps me be creative)
Looking straight at the camera is ok but not necessary.
Valentine colors or outfit will be a bonus!
Good resolution photos are important.
If you have an older phone the quality of the camera and photos may not work for this.

Don’t worry about back ground that won’t be used.
Keep in mind a fun or unique pose can make your composite more interesting.

FYI my favorites aren’t based off of cuteness
(I think all kids are cute☺️) It will be if I can see a vision in your photo to pull together a fun composite for you.

You will have only a few days to enter.
Dead line is the last day of January.
No submission will be considered after the deadline.
I will post my three favorites on February 1st and you all will vote for the winner.

Hopefully this reaches all of you so you can all participate. I’m excited to see what photo you comment below!

Now let’s have some fun!!!!!♥️♥️♥️
