Help needed for a special friend...

One of my favorite previous clients is in desperate need of in-home nursing care for her sweet little girl! I just thought maybe someone reading this would know or ANYONE who could help out? If you know any nurses in our area, please ask them to spread the word that we are looking for special nurses (RN or LPN) to spend overnights and weekend hours with this little sweetie. Even if they are not looking for a change, they may know someone who would be interested. Contact Jennifer at Prairie River HomeCare, 800-598-5546, for more information. Thanks for any help you could give this wonderful family!! If you are able to help find a nurse I will give you a free portrait session complete with a leather session album (that includes 40 5x7 prints - a $1500 value) Contact me if you have any questions! Thank you so much :-)

BIG NEWS!!!

It's official! We are building a new studio!!!! If you have been in my current studio you've noticed I don't have enough room LOL. The new place is going to be SO great! I can't wait to show plans etc once it's started. This is all going to move pretty quickly because I need to be out of my current space by the first of the year. These next few months are going to be INSANE. I'll share more details soon. While I'm here, I should show a quick preview of some cutie TRIPLET girls that I photographed last week (yes and they are 2...it was quite funny!!) Also I wanted to share an email I got the other day from a recent client. Like most family sessions with young children...we had a heck of a time! The little one was having a bad day...she was getting a bunch of teeth. I can't blame her for being annoyed we were trying to take her picture then LOL. Anyway, it was chaotic but I promised Mom we'd have some great images. I sent the slideshow to her last week and this is what I got from her yesterday:
"Jennifer- It's so funny to hear all the comments we've had about "seeing the love in our family through your portraits". We, too, think that you did an AWESOME job of capturing that. My husband and I have been laughing because we didn't have a lot of "family harmony" that day! :-) But somehow you managed to capture what we do have on so many other days! Anyways, thanks again for sharing your talents with our family."
Seriously...things like this are what make me LOVE my job. When I work it means I'm away from my own kids. It give me a little more peace knowing I'm doing something for people that will always have a special place in their home, and something that will be enjoyed for generations to come. Thank you so much Angie for making my day!!! OH one more thing. I'm not going to be at the studio tomorrow. I'm going away for the weekend with some friends to scrapbook. The funny thing is, I'm bringing my computer so I can work instead LOL. I just have WAY to much to do right now to take a weekend off. Anyway, I'm hoping I'll have lots of sessions ready when I get back. I'm excited. It will be fun to work and be creative while having fun with friends! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND :-)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN (a day late)...

(from my kids...Aidan the Pirate and Ashton the Skunk)

Eric and Amy

I was so thrilled to be able to photograph a wedding for some friends of ours a few weeks ago. Eric and Amy were high school sweethearts. They finally found their way back to each other years later and realized they were meant to be together. Their wedding was so beautiful. Here are a few favorites from the day: A tender moment between Mom and Daughter: The kids: (Eric's son was a Ring Bearer, Amy's Daughter was the Flower girl and her son was another ring bearer) SO pretty! The rings: Eric and his son: Amy and her matron of honor: The bride and groom: The new happy family: The cake: Their first dance as husband and wife: Thanks again for asking me to be a part of such a special day!! Best Wishes!

You know those fun bridal shots I did recently...well they are being used for the advertising for the Owatonna Bridal Fair! I'm so thrilled!! I thought I'd post this here in case any brides want to check out the event! It should be great!!! And I just wanted to share one more of a cute little guy that I did recently. He is so much fun and is always so happy!! I love the new background too!!! (yes, I have a background addiction).
