This is HILAROUS!

Okay...to all of the mom's,dad's,grandma's,grandpa's, aunt's and uncles that think that we must shower our little angels with expensive gifts (we all do it)....please watch this.

This is SO True and these are the moments that we all love so much. To hear that little laugh that comes from their belly, priceless!

I have a beautiful little girl to post about, but she definately needs her own post so check back soon. ~T

"Trendy Kids" photo contest!!

Complete Details!!


I am having my first ever "Trendy Kids" photo contest and I hope to have a great turnout!!

What do I need?

I am asking for a snapshot of your trendy child or tot and that's it!

Then what?

After all of the entries have been recieved by the March 10th deadline. I will submit them to a panel of judges which will be made up of photographer friends/colleauges and they will choose my "Top 10" trendy kids. The "Top 10" will then be put right here on the Blog and then it's up to the public to choose. So.... that means that you'll have to call on your friends, family, neighbors, grocery clerk, everyone that you know to vote!! You get the idea.

Who can enter?

The contest is open to children between the ages of 6 months and 10 years old and since I will not be judging the contest, it's also open to current clients. All participants must be local and live within 30 miles of O'Fallon, Mo. or be willing to travel to complete their session if they win.

What will they win??

There will be 3 winners and they will all receive complete sessions. Photo packages will be awarded for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place. Packges are still in the works and will be revealed soon!

So you're thinking "What's the catch?"

No catch really. All that I ask is that I can have most of the creative control over the session, which means that I will choose the location, composition and make suggestions for clothing and hairstyle. Model release forms will be required so that I may use the photos from these sessions in my portfolio.

Do you know a "Trendy Kid?"

Enter their picture TODAY!!

My loves!

With Valentines Day approaching, I wanted to get a couple of pictures of MY sweeties! I'm always puzzled at the fact that I can capture beautiful images of children and famillies that I am so delighted to work with BUT....when it comes to my own, ugh!! It takes some serious bribing! I was happy coming away with these sweet images of my kiddos, and now we're off to Target to buy a transformer and a baby. Bribes work:)

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Sharing a few recent favorites

This little girl is one of my favorite kids to photograph!! She is obviously just beautiful and she loves the camera! I always love to see what we come up with, it's usually different and she lets me get silly! I just plopped this hat on her head and this is what we ended up with. These are just the first few, I'm sure there will be alot more. Mom and dad you are going to be in big trouble when she's a teenager (she's only 5 now). She's beautiful!

Until next time! ~T
