Stay-home workin momma.....

Ever wonder what a stay-home-working-mom does during the day?  "Oh you must have so much time to relax and do whatever you want?!"

YUP - I DRINK WINE, CARE FOR MY SON and TAKE NAPS

I must admit, I do wish some days that was the case!!!!  But reality is, it's not so glorious and rather quite tiring and strenuous on the mind and body. Some days are crazy fun and easy and other days I just want to give up and go cry myself to sleep.

1. Make sure I have the correct white balance
2. Add a hint of warmth
3. Play around with contrast.....LOVE me some dramatic shadows!
4. NATURALLY touch up blemishes, dry skin, wrinkles, etc
5. Enhance the eyes or other fine details
6. Remove unwanted background distractions
7. If outdoors, enhance the sky if needed/desired
8. Add fine touches if necessary once client sees their images

Good question!

This inquiry often comes up at consultation meetings and it's wonderful to know what a photographer offers prior to your session with them. That can sometimes make or break the session booking! I am an open book and want my clients to be happy with what they will receive from me. I only offer the highest quality of products from well-known, reputable labs with excellent customer service!

Do you want to have beautiful photos taken but worry that they are going to be shared amongst the world on all social media platforms and end up forever stored "in the cloud" somewhere?!

Don't worry, your session is safe with me!

dark skinned 6 month old baby in white outfits with white backgrounds, some happy, some crying, some closeups. photographed in studio in Rochester, Minnesota
I love all photography sessions: families, children, seniors, newborns, small intimate weddings, everything!  But I think my favorite just might be studio sitter sessions! At this age the child is learning so much and taking everything in around them. 
They are learning to roll over, sit & balance, touch & textures, finding their voice, stranger danger and so so much more!

These brave little souls come into my studio not knowing me and only wanting their mom. And moms want them to open up to me quickly because the sessions go by quick & life is busy....no one can stay in the studio the entire day hanging out with me....well, some might be able to!  😊

I have recently been requested to take some product photos for someone. I love this idea & cannot wait to get started on the project! It's something new, something different & something to continue to test my skills.

I took some test shots the other day of my own wedding bouquet to capture the details and show off the elegance. This lovely bouquet was made by my husband's very talented uncle!!!  xoxo  Thanks Mark, much love still....every day I'm amazed at it's beauty!
