An Angel is Born

It's not the first time I've gushed over my absolute adoration of babies and it most certainly won't be my last. I can't think of anything else more precious, beautiful, and full of promise and hope than a new little baby. This is why I jump for joy at the opportunity to capture some of the first bonding moments between a new baby and it's family. I was lucky enough to have such an opportunity just recently with the arrival of little Angel.

Please join me in wishing this family all the happiness and prosperity the world can bring.

Beautiful Bridals

I heart these photos so much they deserve a post all their own. I couldn't have asked for a better client or location and the proof is in the pudding...

Excerpts from the Whirlwind

As promised I'm playing catch up to be able to share with you all some shots from the first half of what has proved to be a whirlwind year.





























Too many favs for one post :)...

Maternity Leave

Well as some of you may already know I have been busy cooking up baby number two. So far this pregnancy has proved far more challenging than my first. This coupled with our rather extreme schedule has begun to take it's toll. So we have decided to take a break so that we can all make it safely to the end of this pregnancy and enjoy a little time together as a family before it's back to being busy busy beavers. We will be back starting in November and will be taking on a limited number of sessions through to the end of the year. If you planned on scheduling a fall or holiday session/event please contact me ASAP to hold your spot. In the mean time check back in from time to time as I will be going through and posting highlights from the past couple whirlwind months.

More More More

Hello everyone! Like always I've been busy busy busy. The beautiful spring weather has me out and about shooting like mad. We just wrapped up a whole bunch of Easter Portrait Sessions that were a complete blast. We were so lucky to have such lovely flowers and absolutely perfect weather. I kept eyeballing the forecast and for a while I was quite concerned that April showers would bring a severely disappointed Loren but as luck would have it that was not the case! I've also been busy collecting all sorts of new lovely props for our newborn/baby sessions. I've got some colorful wraps for those oh so sweet "baby burrito" pics and the pièce de résistance of my recent acquisitions is a vintage wicker baby carriage! My mind is absolutely on fire with tons of new ideas for pictures. I cannot wait to get me hands on these new props and some sweet little babies, it's gonna be magic!

New Products and Goodies!!

Ok, so enough with the cliff hanger already it's time I filled you in a bit on what's going on. I am super super excited to announce that we have a new printing house on our team and the products we are now able to offer through them are to DIE FOR!! Mini Accordion books, Image boxes, Press Printed Albums and Books, Bound Proofs, Custom CD cases printed on gorgeous metallic paper and much much more. The quality is fantastic. They sent me some samples and this stuff is just amazing. No flimsy cheap cardboard wrapped junk here, no no sir!! You can feel the weight and just how substantial everything is the second it's in your hands. This is very exciting for me because I have been desperately trying to find something just like this. I love that I can now confidently recommend these products to my clients and KNOW that what they get they will absolutely flip over. You are gonna want some of EVERYTHING! :D I know I do! As I build up my collection of samples I will get some examples posted for everyone to see, but to really appreciate these products you need to experience them firsthand so that you will know what I'm talking about when I say these are just phenomenal products. Yay Yay Yay I am doing a little happy dance and so will you once you get your hands on these too.

Changes

Big changes are on the horizon. I'm just gonna leave it at that for now. Stay tuned.
