Heather and Josh lucked out with an absolutely gorgeous November day for their wedding. It is not often we get to do outdoor photos in November! Heather and Josh had a beautiful ceremony and Heather certainly was our little Dancin' Queen at the reception... what fun!

Free Newborn Portraits!
First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage, Then Comes...
Well you get the idea! It seems everywhere we look we are running into past brides that are expecting their first (or second!) little one and we couldn't be happier! We have decided to offer a free newborn session to all of our former wedding clients. Portrait session must take place before baby turns six weeks. For all our brides we have missed out on this deal, we will offer a one time free children's portrait session if booked by January 31st, 2010. Sessions will include online proofing, ordering and sharing along with a complimentary 8x10 of your choice.
Here are some helpful hints for newborn sessions:
- Most parents opt for the au'natural bare bottom look, however, if you prefer your little one to be covered up, choose simple clothing. Avoid characters on clothing.
- Crank up the heat! For sessions in our home office, we will generally turn up our heat or have a space heater running to keep our newborns comfy when the clothes come off... a warm baby is a happy one! If you schedule a session in your home, please do the same!
- Feed your child before arriving for your session. A full belly makes a more content little one. However, you can certainly take a feeding break at any time.
- Mom and Dad - wear long sleeve solid black or white shirts. We will often use the parents as a "backdrop" to hold the little ones.
- Book your newborn session early... we prefer to do newborn sessions as young as possible. The smaller the baby the easier they are to pose - they still have that snuggly curl in a ball and look cute thing going on! Also, the older the baby gets, the more likely it will develop baby acne and cradle cap.
- Bring props! Do you have an adorable newborn hat or a baby blanket that grandma knitted? Bring these items along to personalize your session.
- Finally, keep an open mind! We often photograph newborns sleeping as this is when they look the sweetest and are the most comfy. If you are hoping for a bright eyed photo of your child in the first weeks, you may be disappointed (often they will appear cross-eyed when we can catch their eyes!)

Congrats to Mike and Steph... here is a sneak peak of their pics! Mike and Stephanie had one of the more touching ceremonies that we have seen in awhile. Their wedding was held at a friends home on a beautiful, although chilly, fall day. Steph looked beautiful, and Mike spent the day beaming at her! We wish them both a beautiful and long marriage.

We recently had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Gus and Christine. Gus is just a big goofball and Christine is a total sweetheart. They had a great time celebrating their special day with all their family and friends. We were able to take some beautiful pictures out on the deck at River's Bend Steak and Seafood Restaurant.
