I love my job!

Friday, June 29th, 2007

I met with a couple this evening; we worked through the details of their wedding schedule, laughed, looked at albums, talked about pictures, and  mostly just dreamed about their day. What an incredible thing that me, a total stranger, gets to play a small role in that!

I never dreamed that when this hobby turned into a thriving business that I would love what I do so much! My favorite part is writing it as my profession “Professional Photographer!” Does that just sound cool? A close second is that this career made me start blogging and now I can’t stop!
I love that I’m still learning from every couple and from every wedding! All that precious knowledge pours into the next couple…it’s so great!

Well, I hope I haven’t talked all of you into becoming photographers and therefore talked myself out of a job. If I have, see you at the next Pictage meeting. :)

Sample Photobooks for 2008

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Wow…I feel like I’ve been searching forever to find the perfect proof books and wedding albums for my 2008 brides! I have buying samples left, right and center; I love what I’ve found! I have such a variety of choices: soft cover, hard cover, small, not so small, included in package and available a la carte! I think every bride (and groom) will be happy!

Proof Books:

5 x 5 - Hard cover (These are adorable! Great to display at the office, on an end table or coffee table. And they would make wonderful gifts! It displays 1 picture per side.)

8 x 8 - Soft cover (Easy to hold and great cover designs! Also perfect as a coffee table book. Its larger size allows 4 pictures per side.)

8.5 x 11 - Magazine style (Totally functional and at the same time trendy looking! It will feature 6 pictures per page - cause it only prints on one side.)

If you’re like me, you’ll want one of each! I’ll see what I can do about that. :)

Wedding Albums:

12 x 12 - Hard cover (Absolutely gorgeous! I mean breath taking but, of course, pricey. But for the brides that want the filled out package with all the amazing extras…I have the book for you!)

I’m still looking for more wedding albums options before make my final decision about 2008 packages so if you have suggestions I’d love to hear them…seriously! I just wanted to give you a sneak peak at my newest ideas.

I don’t want the packages to be crazy with a million options and thousands of “additions” to the package. I like simple. I like being able to tell people upfront how much it’s going to be. That’s the kind of photographer I wanted.

Hot Summer Days with 2 year olds!

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

It was well over 90 degrees today and I loved every minute! I don’t know why I love the sun and being hot so much, but I do! Adriah and I invited friends over and we had a blast on the water slide!

 

It was so fun to see thegirls go from not wanting to be near the water, to putting in their toes, to getting their hair wet, to sitting on the slide, to sliding into moms arms and then finally getting the courage to do it, “All by myself!” I’m treasuring these moments because I’m realizing how fast they fly by!

 

I thought these pictures would make you smile! Enjoy!

Goodbye to little Cadence Alana…

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Here’s the press release from Children’s Hospital today…

On behalf of Ryan and Brianna Morrison, Children’s notes that their daughter, Cadence Alana, died Saturday morning (June 23).

The Morrisons’ other children remain in critical condition in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Children’s in Minneapolis. As released earlier by Children’s, three sons died within a week of their June 10 birth.

Ryan and Brianna issued the following statement:

“Though our difficult time continues, our faith remains strong. Our families, friends, and churches have provided us with great comfort, for which we are deeply grateful. We continue to express our thanks to the staff at Children’s. Please keep us in your prayers.”

No further information is being released, at the request of the parents.

No words can describe this loss. So I won’t even try. They need our prayers more then ever. Thank you for your love and support for this family as they grieve the loss of 4 precious kids.

The Morrisons and Adriah!

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

My husband and I love the Ryan and Brianna dearly and through the process of the sextuplets birth and hospital stay we’ve come to know the Morrison and Balken family in a deeper way! It has been our pleasure and blessing…and Adriah (our 2 year old) loves the attention!

We were at the Children’s hospital today visiting the babies and hanging with the family! Adriah had a blast! The hospital is designed with kids entertainment in mind. Attached to the family resource center they have a huge outside play area.

 

I took some shots of my over-heated daughter…

I know most of you who have been following the Morrisons and their babies are wanting to know what’s been going on in the past week. Please continue to keep this amazing family in your prayers.
