Friends at the Park

Check it out! Spring has sprung...at least for the moment. Berlyn and her pals were game for some fun at the park. I took lots of photographs of all of these awesome gals having a good time, playing around. I'm planning to use the photographs for Berlyn's podcast. I am going to add tons of the photos to her slide show to complete the podcast. It's going to rock because Berlyn and her friends are so much fun together and oh so so beautiful! Wow- I also tried out my new whimsy borders on these photos. I think they are fun and playful and I see lots of possibilities for some great albums.

Matthew gets his driver's permit

My son Matthew got his permit yesterday after a very long wait at the licensing office. He drove home from his driver's ed class last night with Dad. I snapped a couple of photos- while he was getting out of the truck. We're starting a new chapter - the start of more responsibility, privilege and independence.

Berlyn

This is Berlyn, a new rep/model for AMIT {class of 2010}. We had a fun time during her urban session- She said that she is an urban gal and loves the downtown atmosphere. Check out her pattered rain boots, perfect for this winter photo session. I just love your big brown eyes- they speak before you say a word-simply beautiful!

Berlyn will be A Moment in Time's featured senior rep on the "New for 2010" limited edition, iTunes photo session {to be announce in March}. Thanks Berlyn!

Hands

I was so inspired by the great weather this weekend I just had to get out and photograph. I did not take these photographs this weekend nor do I have the magic powers to make tulips bloom in Feb. and I found these photographs from last year and thought they would be fun to post. Spring is just around the corner and I can't wait. I am already seeing the tiny buds growing on my trees and crocus blooming around my yard and neighborhood. I love the changes of the season and the anticipation of the new surroundings. This little girl is the daughter of a master gardener and loves plants as well. I love how she is using her hands and fingers to interact with the flowers so gingerly.

Zach

What time is it? TRAIN TIME-- This is my client and friend Zach. He loves trains and wants to be a conductor some day. We had so much fun hanging out at Kent Station looking at the train tracks and waiting for the train. Check out his amazing jump. All for the love of trains. Zach you are awesome and I am so proud of you. Wait until you see his 4 wheeler photos-

Nicole

I had a chance to play around with my daughter Nicole and create some striking photos of her with her dramatic make up and look. She is a QT- I love her bunches and bunches.

Meet Max

Max is the greatest dog! I had an instant heart connection with his owner Barb and soon our dogs became playmates. Max joined us for previews and more. As part of my upcoming charity event - Dog Days of Summer- I am photographing a few pets to get ready for the promotion.

Stay tuned for more information. You'll see Max again when the event is announced. Thanks Barb for providing such a great model.

Senior of the Week

Alright! This weeks senior of the week is Rebecca McIntyre. Rebecca is such a classy gal. She's the first person I have ever photographed in a dress and a Letterman's jacket. It's a great look on her even though I select these photos to showcase her personality and fun photo session. She is willing to get dirty with the weeds and show her playful side in an urban setting. Rebecca has a winning smile and smiles easily. Rebecca is a senior rep for A Moment in Time {AMIT} this year and did a great job and so recently we met so she could select her favorite photographs that she earned as a rep. Thanks so much for a great job Rebecca. I'll miss you when you graduate. We still have some time before then...

That's Amore'

I can't wait to see you for your very own Valentine's photographs and cards. Special starts today and continues through Feb. 5th.

Tanner

Hey up there- great idea for a cool photo Tanner. Tanner is a ball player so it was fitting that we take some photos around his home field. He has a great game face but when he is around his pooch his is all smiles and a happy guy. Check out his photo on the senior section of my web site.
Tanner have a great bb season and I'll see you in the spring.

Here is a happy family at one of my favorite local parks {just before the Dec. snow}

Evanne and John are both teachers with huge hearts. Their girls are so dang smart and fun.

I have been photographing both girls since Evanne and John first got pregnant. It has been amazing to see their family grow over the last 4 years. How lucky I am too be able to document and celebrate all their special milestones with them. I am looking forward to creating a great personality {expressions gallery} with Seneca- the littlest one. Mom can really get her to put on all her great expressions. Until next time....where ever you go, go with all your heart.

The Dersch Family

This is the best looking family- they are all tan and healthy looking. Yes this photograph is from this summer {not taken between snow storms}. We were out at the lake on a beautiful, bright morning on the dock, dodging the boats being launched and trying to keep all of the photography equipment out of the water. Success... and some really cool photos of their family. Thanks Tyler and Conner for being such good sports.

Smiles and plays

it's so much fun to review these milestones and reminisce about my earlier days of my motherhood...brings back a wave of wonderful feelings and emotions.

These are wonderful times. So much to discover and share.

Hey Shauna- you are looking so cute in these photos. I had tons of fun with you laughing and having scouting around the farm. I love your expressions! You have it going "on". Hope you are having a great senior year. You deserve all the best and I hope you go after it. You are a super star in my book.

Seneca

"not sure I see anything in here"-- (but I'll keep trying , trying is fun)

Seneca is on the move- watch out- here she comes and she is fast. Little miss serious takes time out for a few smiles during her very busy day. She brought her two best furry friends (Couger and Elmo) along to her eighteen month photo session. Glad to have a moment to capture those big blue eyes that I love so much.
