Bymoen Family

Sorry, I have taken their Christmas card down so it is a surprise for all those who are getting one..... I will repost it after Christmas.
Original entry: "I really want to thank Mom's everywhere for all that they do to get a family picture... it is not easy - it is stressfull and frustrating. When I started my studio pictures I learned very quickly that you can not make a toddler do anything! But when you catch their attention for only a milla second - you have pure photographic heaven. It is not an easy task to get clothes picked out, pack up for the weekend, get up early, get yourself ready, your kids ready, keep them clean, keep their shirts tucked in, keep them happy and get them to the studio to hope that they cooperate. My job is to keep Mom and Dad calm and to entertain the kids enough to get through all our great ideas. I love what I do. Thanks Deana! I am honored that you picked me to capture your wonderful kids for 2009! "

Pam & Allan's Wedding Album


This is the Front (on the right) and back cover of Pam and Allan's album. I love every wedding and have no trouble making sure that it is an unique as each couple is. This is one of those couples who really inspire me to be a better at everything I do. I will have the rest of their album posted along with the Kelly album over the next week. It feels good to be getting caught up.

The Kelly's Album




The beginning of the Kelly Album - sorry I did not have time to post any more during the day. Stay tuned by 1 am (yes I work better at night - life with kids means that I am great at night shifts!) for more pages. This couple has the spirit, kindness and love that I know will come through in their wonderful album. He is a pilot and she is a teacher so we had great ideas to make their momories special to who they are. Thank you to them for their trust in me and kindness in waiting while I settle me life here. I have learned a lot in the last year and the number one lesson was that until I am ready to hire staff to help, I have to keep my wedding bookings limited. I will not compromise the quality of albums and edits because I am a profectionst. Creativity can not be rushed and going through thousands of pictures takes time - and I love what comes out at the end! Memories captured for generations to come and put into an album that will last the test of time.
