2012 was a good year. There were ups & downs; lots of emotion- joy; sadness; it was a year to remember. The year we lost our Grandma Grace; the year we welcomed our baby girl, EllaGrace. I took pictures along the way. Here are some of my favorites from our year & here's looking to 2013, with smiles on our faces!
Paxton
Two months old already. What a fun age. Bright-eyed & ready to check out the world; smiling at silly expressions- delighting in his mom's sweet kisses. Welcome to the world Paxton, it was great to meet you on your trip home!
Welcome to the World, Cooper
The youngest of three boys. He will certainly be loved, protected & wrestled. & what a sweet, sweet boy~ Welcome to the world, sweet Cooper.
Maeve is One!
Maeve & Fiona's pictures centered around Maeve's first birthday, as well as my breastfeeding photo project. I absolutely loved going into their home, letting the girls show me their toys & watch them play, all the while documenting it with my camera. I've decided this is how indoor sessions should go for me- at the pace of the children, in their own environment, doing what they do. It's a good fit. Happy (belated) birthday Maeve~

The (Almost) Final Product
It's been a long process, but I finally have all my packaging materials as I want them. I think I've been through about four or so logos since I started my business, not exactly the most professional thing. Now I understand why photographer's recommend having your marketing in place before opening the doors, so to speak. In the end, I designed my logo myself. I am so satisfied with how it turned out. I wanted something that looked clean & simple, yet professional. Putting that logo into place with the business cards, discs & final packaging wasn't necessarily hard, but it was time consuming, mostly because I wasn't sure exactly how to turn my vision into a reality. Then it all came together. I ordered the business cards & stickers through my photo printer. The eco-friendly disc sleeves came from another source. I then put those stickers on the sleeves. The discs & 'permission to print' cards came from yet another source. I then realized I had the perfect whole punch to finalize the package & tied the business card around with some very thin jute. When I put these packages together, I have to admit I get excited. It's just such a pretty little piece, holding your photo treasures inside. But the most important part is opening up that (almost) final product & getting your images on your walls!
