Check out how stinkin adorable these Easter cards are!!! I'm thinking I need to schedule a little mini session for my kiddos so that I can have some of my own to send out this year! {Especially because I was a complete slacker and failed to send out Christmas cards... for the second (or third!) year in a row}. Book your session NOW in order to have time to get these adorable cards and share them with friends and family!
I am also the lucky aunt to this cutie pa-toot-ie!!! I forget what a challenging age this is to photograph... she gave us a run for our money, that's for sure - but thankfully my two oldest kiddos were there to help catch her attention for split seconds at a time or I don't know if we would have gotten any! She simply loves my daughter... We love having her in our lives and it's been such a joy watching her grow up into a sweet and silly little girl! Enjoy...
Mmmmm is there anything better than a squishy baby??? I can't think of too many things... This guy sure has grown since his newborn session back in August {which you can see by clicking HERE}. I'm the lucky lady who gets to call him nephew, so his mom didn't freak out when I grabbed him and gave him kisses all over. John has the sweetest personality and it wasn't hard to get the smiles out of him. I think six to eight months is one of my favorite ages to photograph. They can usually sit up - but can't quite crawl away from me, they smile at everything and they're all chubby and squishy!! Perfection. Enjoy these adorable pictures... Love this little guy!!
I'm officially feeling "slow season". It happens every year. At first, it's a huge sigh of relief after the insanity of fall portraits and Christmas orders and Holiday cards etc. etc. But by the middle of January, I'm ready for some sun and I'm ready to pick up my camera again. I've got the itch. So - in the meantime and with it being Valentine's Day and all that fun stuff, I thought I'd spread some love by offering all of my amazing and wonderful 2011 clients a crazy opportunity: get your session on disk (complete with custom packaging and a print release) for HALF OFF. Yes, your eyes read that right. 50% off. Can you feel the love yet?
Grab this chance while it lasts - sale ends Feb. 26th!! Also - make sure you're signed up for the BDP Insider - I'm in the process of nailing down all the details for Spring Mini Sessions!! These are going to be very special! I'm working with an awesome vendor (no I'm not going to tell you who just yet!) and let me just say - they are going to be very fun!! I can't wait!! So stay tuned and remember - BDP Insiders get first dibs on mini session slots - so get them while they're hot!
Hope everyone is feeling very loved today - and not just by me!!
If you check out the post below you'll see that I really do have a legitimate excuse for being a slacker right now... going from two kiddos to three leaves me with WAY less time to sit in peace and quiet editing pictures late into the night. Instead I've been feeding a cute little baby and getting every bit of sleep I can manage!!
I usually always do my editing late at night after the kids go to bed because I don't like to do it while I'm with them during the day. I'd never want them to look back on their childhood and their only memories of me be with my eyes glued to the computer day in and day out. After all, one of the things I love about being a photographer is that it enables me to stay home and raise my babies and still do what I love at the same time!! It's always a struggle trying to find that perfect balance between "mommy" and "business owner" - but I'm constantly working at it! That's what matters right? Life is forever a work in progress...
With it being slow season right now (thank goodness!!), I've been trying to edit some personal pictures that always get put on the backburner. These are some fun ones I took of my daughter while we were out in California for Thanksgiving. Wow - I really am a slacker. Better late than never right??
Stay tuned for details on Spring Mini Sessions and maybe some other fun stuff! Are you signed up for the BDP Insider??

I love every sweet and crazy part of this girl...
On January 6th - which also happens to be my birthday - I was given one of the greatest gifts of all... a sweet, innocent little newborn baby. Getting him here was definitely NOT a gift, but of course it's all worth it in the end. Any mother knows what I mean. The indescribable feeling when you're handed this precious little person for the first time. It amazes me how fast they grow... I'm so glad that I was able to snag a few shots while he was still super new. Somehow three weeks have flown by without me even knowing it! Thank goodness my mom was here to help with the session because it was a fiasco!! My 4 year old was having a total and complete mental breakdown, I was tired and still recovering and we were all adjusting to life with a new baby!! As I shared earlier though, somehow we managed to get one awesome shot that I am SOOOO happy and grateful for!! I felt like I had a glimpse into what my clients must feel when they see images of the important people in their lives for the first time... All I could think about was getting that picture on. my. wall. asap!!! (And you better believe it already is!!)
Anyways, this is my new little man and his awesome big sister and brother!!! I love them each to PEICES!!
My "plan" is to get him into the studio again for some more newborn pictures... but we'll see how that goes. I have tons of adorable boy hats I wanted to get him into and didn't get a chance!!
I'm going to keep the writing to a minimal - mainly because I should really be sleeping instead of posting this picture, but I just can't help it. I'm in love. I've had a wish granted!! It was crazy and I wish I had a video of what went on behind the scenes, but I was somehow lucky enough to capture this image of my three beautiful children... The top little bundle arrived last Friday and has been such a joy. I can't wait to get this blown up as huge as possible on a gallery wrap. I can't think of anything better. Enjoy... =)
I still can't believe another year has come and gone!! Where has the time gone? To say the least, 2011 was AWESOME here at BDP - thanks to YOU! As a tribute - below are some of my personal favorites from this year's sessions and a few of my personal pictures thrown in the mix too. I have been and am so blessed with such truly kind, fun and real clients - it has been my pleasure to photograph you and your families!! I'm looking forward to another wonderful year and can't wait to see what and who it has in store.
Changes: I have updated my 2012 Pricing - which can be found under the "Investment" tab in the menu. I am happy to announce that I am offering all return clients a special thank you for the entire year - your choice of two complimentary gift prints!! Just because I love ya so much.
Side note: I will be taking a maternity leave beginning next week until who knows when... February or March probably. Stay tuned for pictures of our new little guy who is due to arrive any day now!! In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact me with questions, scheduling, etc. and I will get back to you as soon as I can!
Enjoy this little peek into how lucky I was this year... Happy New Year!!!!
This was probably one of the easiest, quickest, happiest sessions I've ever done!! Talk about a Christmas gift! Michele contacted me several months ago about photographing her family while everyone was in town for the holidays. I'm so glad the weather was perfect because this was the only day we could do it!! They are the funnest bunch of people - I had a blast with them!! Hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek, and thanks again so much for an awesome session!!!
This was Mr. M's second time in the studio this year - you can see his session from February {HERE} . The last go-round he was not in the mood for pictures, so I was curious to see how this time would go. The second they walked in the studio door he jumped into my arms and gave me a hug!! Off to a good start! He didn't last too long, but long enough to catch some adorable shots of him... he's such a cutie pie!!! He was clapping, dancing and blowing kisses the whole time! Thanks for a fun time guys - it was so great to see you again! Enjoy your sneak peek!
