The Village Voice Magazine- Business Feature :-)

Yay! I got the proof today and am just truly excited to see my business spotlighted in the Powell/Delaware County magazine as the business feature for April 2009. I feel truly honored I was able to be featured. This publication gets mailed to every single resident in the area....so I am hoping for lots of new business! This has been in the works since last Fall, so to see it NOW is just so exciting for me!

To a wonderful 2009.....I will be waiting by my mailbox everyday until I get the magazine- it should be here on Monday ;-)

The Village Voice

Well, I am super excited to see this for the first time. This has been in the works since last Fall, and to actaully SEE it feels great! I actually got a sneak peak before the magazine goes out. It should be in the hands of all Powell and Golf Village residents today, I think (by mail). I hope this generates lots of new business and I feel truly blessed I was able to be 'spotlighted'. I am blessed for so many things! I am truly a lucky gal!

More Images from last week's sessions....

Hopefully will have these done tonight! Thanks for your patience.....Usually I have them done in a week, so I am a couple of days off ;-) I know both of you are on vacation too! Adding more....

There's No Place Like Home....

Using my 'vintage texture' technique...
Click, Click, Click...'There's no place like home'. When I saw this, the 'Wizard of Oz' came to mind~ hint, my title After doing these 2nd sets of images~ I LOVE the color orange. Especially now with Spring. It looks great with the BLUE sky and black/brown of the leaves and trees. Orange is my new favorite color! I think her attitude boosted with that great color- she was all over the place. Well, for starters I had us on a scavenger hunt looking for 'acorns'. She found one- the image I captured (which I had to be fast on on my toes) is one of my favorite photographs- love it! She carried it with her to the wee end of our session where she gave it to her Mom. I am still working on a few, but take a look into the sea of orange!

1-2-3 Go.....Scavenger Hunt Time

Don't you just want to grab it off the computer screen?????
One of my favorite photographs...

Never left her hand.......until she gave it to Mom Wanted this photo to really POP! 'Pop' is my new word to go along with my new color. My hubby is like- not everything pops. I am always saying...look how that pops when I see something that has a great contrast! My artist eye is never off duty.

Olivia the Angel

I just started on these- more to come over the week

Library in the Park????

I love how this turned out. I had this idea in my head with books........

Oh My....It feels so good to be working again. I actually got to do a session with girls I see quite often. Sarah, their Mom, and I have become very good friend's over the past year or so, and we get together at least 2/x week for playdates and fun- always coffee on hand! I was so excited to take my spin on some images for them.

Miss Maisy, 5 and Mya who will be 2 in a matter of weeks were such great subject's. Miss Maisy was sooo excited to get her picture taken by Mrs. Jennifer! And Miss Mya fell in LOVE with my antique doll- that was mine as a baby. She was loving on her 'baby' and not 'mine'. Ok, then~ :-) At the end of our session, she kindly placed 'her baby' in the back of my van and said 'bye bye baby'.....so precious!

I hope I captured these little girls spirit and essence of their beautiful childhood. Sarah, thanks so much for being a wonderful and true friend. You mean a lot to me and I hope you LOVE your pictures. I have some more I am working on, but here is your sneak peek.

Like Mother...Like Daughter. This desk is a family antique that looked beautiful set up here!

Lil'Mark's Greatest Hits

Naturally, feelin' the music- jammin on the couch
About to throw his guitar into the 'crowd'

Lying on the floor here- just like rockers!

This was hilarious! He was going up and down strummin' his guitar. Again, not taught- just natural to this little rocker!

Love the Mohawk- he just woke up from nap. Had no idea he was going to do this show for us- or I would have put him in some 'Rocker' threads and really spiked his hair ;-)

Mark LOVES his guitar! He was not taught how to 'play' it- so this kid has got the gift of music and naturally feeling beats and rhythms! He is soooooo fun to watch. He gets his leg moving and goes up and down and makes these faces (shown in pics). Again, these are faces- not screams. In fact, if Craig or me start to sing he comes over to us and touches our mouths to stop. Well, I don't blame him- have you heard me sing? Ha! I need to video tape the next time he does 'Eric Clapton' and post it. Little Mark-Cool
