Valentine’s Day is around the corner!

It may seem early, but there isn’t much time left to order a custom photo gift for your loved ones for Valentines Day!  This custom made photo jewelry is made specially for you with many options to choose from.  The cost range for the jewelry depends greatly on which item you want.  This fine quality hand crafted jewelry comes with your choice of sterling silver, gold, or precious stones…nothing fake is ever used!  Real diamonds can be added to any piece as well.  If you don’t have a photo in mind, no problem!  You can also send me your child’s art work and that can be scaled down and placed in a charm for a necklace, key ring, or bracelet.  Monogrammed pieces are also available.  Email me if you’re interested and I’ll give you the details.   This also makes great Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gifts.  Order early because there is a lead time to produce your custom piece.

Also, we do offer custom Valentine’s day cards!  The deadline to order these is Feb. 3rd!

Baby Vivienne turns 6 Months!

I can’t believe that the little newborn I photographed in the Spring is now 6 months old!!  Sweet baby Vivienne is showing off her Halloween costume in this session as well as her cute little baby face.  Here are some photos from our session…

Jake’s 18 Month Session

I’ve been photographing this little guy since he was 6 months old!  It’s amazing how fast kids grow!  Jake and his family are some of our great friends!  I had a moment at the end of the session where our two boys were playing together.  My son was laughing at something and Jake wasn’t too sure why he was touch his big rock!    I wish I knew what kids were thinking!!  Here’s a peak inside this session…

He’s giving me the “model” stare… I love it!
