Two Wonderful Women


Just a couple of beautiful pictures I needed to share. The first one is my wonderful sister Danae on her wedding day and the other is my new friend Ashley. Thanks to them for making me feel great about my ever evolving photography career.

Winter Fun

Our trip our skating and tobogganing during Christmas was so much fun, especially after we had all been so sick. I really do love winter.

Bring your frame to me before you order your pictures


This is a frame setting for Jamie and Dave. I have a few more tests for her to approve but I wanted to share some important points when setting up a frame. It is great to bring the frame in so I can see the actual opening size. They say 4x6 but the opening is 3.5 by 5.25 and the 8x10 in the center is actually a 7.25 by 9 and the 5x7 is actually a 6.25 by 4.25. It may not seem like a lot but is crops the picture a bit and as a photographer, cropping is very much a part of the art form and change the feel of a picture. Thanks to Jamie for being so patient - very, very, very patient.

A great idea after your photo session - 11x14 collage.

Thanks to Audra for giving many of these out for Christmas. What a great idea for anyone, families, weddings, babies, maternity... more ideas to come.

Danae & Trent's Wedding















This was the most exciting and nerve racking wedding day! It was my sister's wedding and both my girls were in it. I was also in it... how did I do this? With a lot of help from my assistant and husband Ray. I set the shot up and he took the picture - if I am in it. If I am not in it, then I took it, in my heals and long dress... yes I am crazy, but it worked out great and my sister has well over 18oo pictures that capture her entire weekend. These are a few of the great pictures that we took that day. More to come later. Thanks to my wonderful sister for making me and my girls part of the wedding day!
Love,
Your big sister

The Gargus Family



Another great Christmas card! I was the lucky one to have these very cute girls in my home since April. I am too busy with the photography to care for them now and miss them already. Thanks to them for trusting me as their dayhome and all the best to them in 2008!

Some catch up from November & December







I am trying to get some of the great pictures up over the last couple months. Thanks to all of my clients for using me to take their pictures and sending out Christmas cards. A special thanks to the two very beautiful women who used me for their new business card photo.
