Who’s that girl?

October 30, 2008 – 10:29 pm

If you’ve contacted me lately you might find yourself wondering who that girl is responding you your emails. Allow me to introduce to you the newest member of the lifeXpressions family, Kelly…

A Mom of two adorable little guys, a lover of photography, and a lifeXpressions client herself for more than two years Kelly certainly knows the drill and I have no doubt she’ll fit right in and become a wonderful asset to lifeXpressions. Her main goal is to help me stay focused (trust me, not an easy task!) by answering emails and helping to ensure the day to day tasks flow smoothly from session booking to print delivery which will leave me a little more time to do what I do best - take pictures! :)

So, if you get a reply from Kelly, be sure to give her a warm welcome and for Pete’s sake go easy on the girl, I’d like to keep her around for a while. ;) *giggle*

Here’s to a wonderfully smooth 2008 Holiday season!

Introducing Sydney {Then & Now}

September 10, 2008 – 9:00 am

Sydney and her family are very special to me. I first met Sydney in ‘06 and I knew then and there I had met a very special family. Their love for Sydney, and each other, was evident. I felt privileged to have been welcomed into their lives. I’ve since photographed little Sydney on numerous occasions and was honored with the opportunity to photograph their newest daughter Sienna shortly after her arrival…I’ve been included in so many magical moments for this family it seems only natural that their images would be among those to grace the pages of The Big Book of Babies.

Allow me to introduce to you…

Sydney {then} as published in The Big Book of Babies:

While I wish I could say I have more recent {now} photos of Sydney, her family has since moved to North Carolina which has limited our time together some what. To get a little peek of how adorable Sydney is now (and to meet her adorable sister Sienna) you’ll need to pop over to my post featuring their visit back to the sunshine state last Janurary. Beyond that, well, you’ll have to check back to the blog in a few months when they make their way back to Florida for our annual session.

We asked Sydney’s Mom to answer a few questions for the blog, here’s what she had to say…

What is your favorite weekend activity to do with the family?

“I honestly love a day at home with the girls where we can just play together on our own schedule. Having to get out the door with two little ones can sometimes be a stressful task.”

The most requested toy in my house right now is…

“Whatever the baby is playing with! Somehow that item magically becomes very interesting to Sydney as well.”

One thing I hope to never forget is…

“how my girls smell after their bath.”

If there were 25 hours in a day, I would spend that extra hour…

“Playing with Sydney & Sienna of course!”

What I’m most looking forward to in 2008…

“Hopefully working a few things out with my business so I can spend more time with the girls”

(Check out their adorable new children’s clothing line; www.fliggity.com!)

What do you love about lifeXpressions? (Hey, you know you would ask too!)

“I seriously love the creativity and the quality of the pictures - I don’t know what your ’secret’ is but I can’t find anything like it here in Charlotte!”"

Introducing Dominic {Then & Now}

September 7, 2008 – 10:05 pm

I find it quite an honor that this family has chosen me to document their most special moments time and time again over the course of the last almost five years now. It’s really no surprise that the editors of The Big Book of Babies decided little Dominic should grace their pages not once, but twice! In this first image little Dominic was only 6 months old and barely able to sit without support. The second image featured in the book shows a very excited and happy little 1 year old during our annual holiday session.

Dominic {then} as published in The Big Book of Babies:

and here is little Dominic {now}:

Introducing Jack {Then & Now}

August 20, 2008 – 7:00 am

I can say I’ve know Jack since before he was born. ;)

I first met Jack’s Mommy and Daddy a little more than a year ago now for their New Beginnings Session. Their image showcased in The Big Book of Babies was a result of their subsequent newborn session. Jack is a big brother now and just bursting with energy, evidence included below for your viewing pleasure. ;)

We asked Jack’s Mom to answer a few questions for the blog, here’s what she had to say…

What are your child’s favorite books to read?

“Anything with airplanes or boats.”

Where do you shop for women’s clothing, you know, the kind of clothes that make you feel wonderful and don’t scream “teenager” or “mom”?

“Macy’s Dillards, Banana Republic, Saks Off 5th Ave, Puddy ‘n Pearl, and Mollie Montgomery for traditional items”

ha ha ha I think I’ve finally found someone who likes to shop as much as I do. Good taste too, hm, maybe I’ve found a new shopping buddy! ;)

Photographs are important to me because…

“They document memories, windows into our pasts - where we’ve been, who we were with, what we were doing, expressions…”

My favorite little escape from parenting is…

“A night out with my husband - to enjoy a nice dinner and each other over a glass bottle of wine in peace and quiet.”

Do you have any special plans for this summer?

“Going to a Buffett concert for sure!”

What do you love about lifeXpressions? (Hey, you know you would ask too!)

“Your ability to capture the ‘everyday’ shots and turn them into something beautiful that sends sparks to your heart and will be cherished forever! :) THANK YOU!!”
