Pear Blossom

Our awesome neighbors just had a baby girl and one of our favorite neighborhood boys became a big brother.  At dinner tonight we asked him how it was having a little sister and his response was “ah it’s ok” LOL  Like Joe said, newborns can’t do much at this stage so they aren’t very exciting.  This little sweetie is gorgeous, a blondie just like her mommy and she has perfect complexion.

the rain had rescheduled our shoot once but we were not going to let it damper our second shot at a shoot.  The day started off gorgeous, but literally 20 minutes before our shoot it started to rain and it continued to rain throughout the entire shoot.  Luckily the location we chose had some coverage and we were able to get a mix of non wet photos and dancing in the rain photos.   These kids were terrific!!  They came in their favorite clothes, these girls are Matilda Jane junkies.  They probably have half of the collection!!  If you’re interested in the cute clothes they are sporting drop me an email and I’ll point you in the right direction to find out about ordering.

 I’ve tried to post this since last night but instead it kept freezing and then I would loose the entire post!  So frustrating, especially after you’ve written your post and taken the time to upload half the images.  I ended up going over to facebook to post because it’s so much quicker and easier.  anyways, look at these cuties!!!!!!

I took a mini blog vacation to get caught up on some stuff and finish some projects I had been working on.  I’ve got some fun sessions coming up this week, hoping to dodge the rain.  I love the rain but it works nightmares on my shooting schedule!  I had an amazing headshot session this weekend, love this little girl and her super sweet and soft personality.

I’m working on a photo shoot just for myself,  something that inspires me and gets me excited to shoot.  I’ve been collecting and searching for lots of fur pieces and I love this hat I found on ebay.  It’s a vintage fur pill hat.

I had a really fun Valetines Day shoot this weekend, we had a full house of cousins come out and have some fun together.  this is a mini share … I had to keep some surprises for their gallery

I’m excited to kick off 2010 with a special Valentines Day Limited Edition Photo Session!!!  I’ve gone crazy and purchased a ton of fun Valentines Day props, I’ve even set aside some clothes that would work perfectly for any Valentines Day themed shoot.Here’s the deal … Double the fun … book with a friend and receive each of your sessions for only $60!  Email me to book your session info@madisonavephotograpy.comI’ve created some adorable (and kid approved) Valentines Day Note Cards and Bookmarks.  I had Madison and her friend Mimi sit down with me and help me decide on the look and Madison later helped me piece it together just as she’d like it for her own Valentines Day goodies.  It’s important that I create awesome stuff that she loves so I’m excited to share these.   These are a great way to incorporate your favorite VDAY images with friends and family. Use them for classroom parties, special gift tags, add ribbon to the boomarks and make them extra special and fancy. You can even add googly eyes onto the whale for extra fun! These designs can be used for both boys and girls. If you’re interested in these templates for your own Valentines Day projects I’m offering them for $10.  The set includes 3 (4×5.5) flat card designs and 7 (2×8.25) bookmark designs.  These are PSD Files so you will need to have photoshop and should have a general knowledge of working with templates and inserting pictures into layered files.

I cannot believe I never shared this session!  It seems crazy to think that I skipped over this super fun shoot.  I love this family, in fact I just did their Valentines Day shoot and quickly was reminded just how much fun they are.  I love how their holiday session came out …

I’ve got some yummy outfits that either have the tags on them or are like brand new and only worn for pictures!  Every item is at least half off the original price and all pieces are current fall items.  A total steal!
