Yes...I am way behind!

Yes, studio family members, as you can tell, I am way behind on my blog. Not that I am making excuses (but I am), my oldest son fell on Saturday, February 16 & had to get stitches in both the outside & inside of his lip. This was an experience in itself. As a mom, nothing is worse than seeing you kids in pain. I am happy to say, though, that he is doing much better & it looks like he will not have a scar!
Okay, Okay...Back to the blog. I am currently trying to catch up to where I should be. I have a wedding this weekend (March 1, 2008), but after that I am just going to "blog it" all weekend! Thanks again for your patience guys! Don't loose faith in me!

A True Fairy

Little "K" is truly a vision in her fairy costume. Her "GaGa" brought her early Saturday morning for her first ever Winter Wonderland shoot & she did amazing! It is hard to believe that she had been up since 3am! I wish I looked that good after no sleep! Well, as promised "GaGa", Miss "K's" pictures turned out great. She is a little super model waiting to grow. Enjoy your pictures "GaGa" & take care of Colby!

Happy Birthday Miss "R"

Miss "R" came in to do her 4 year old portraits as well as, Valentine's Day cards. Now Miss "R's" mom is the most organized person that I know. Her family sends out cards for every holiday. She once told me that she thought about scaling them down, but she said that everyone loves seeing Miss "R" grow!
You know they say great minds think alike...I also like to send out cards for every holiday! My boys, on the other hand, don't enjoy it as much. Could it be because they have to pose for all the holiday pictures...I'm still trying to figure that out. Anyway,
Miss "R" is truly a pleasure to photograph. Her personality keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time! I am blessed to have such wonderful customers!

How can you resist this face?

Little "J"

Little "J" is the vision of a storybook snow princess. Not only is she pretty, but she is continually tilting her head or twirling around to get just the right pose for just the right picture! Once again, there are some children who make my job too easy. Little "J" is one of these children. She enters the studio with a smile & leaves with a smile. Don't we wish we could all be this happy! Hope you enjoy her pictures mom!

Waiting on the Snow...

Princess "D" was one of our last Saturday shoots. On this particular day, the weathermen were calling for snow to start moving in just after lunch. During our shoot we were continually looking out the windows to see if our "big snow storm" had arrived. Princess "D" was the perfect fairy. Her genuine smile came through in all of her pictures. Here at Memorable Moments we strive to capture each child's character in each session that we do. I believe that we did just that during this session. You go Miss "D"!

Finally!

Royalty has Arrived!

When Miss "K" enters our front door, we know that we are going to have a good time! For this shoot, she brought a big bag full of her fairy & princess costumes. She thought that all the princesses, including Tinkerbell & the Little Mermaid, should have the opportunity to get their pictures made in the snow. After several minutes, I talked her into saving her Little Mermaid costume until our studio beach session, but Tinkerbell had to make an appearance! What would we do without children to keep us young! Enjoy the pictures mom!

Even Tinkerbell needs her time in the snow!

Princess "C"

One of the parts of my job that I like so well is meeting new little people, both through births & referrals. Princess "C" came into the studio ready to roll! She laughed every time her feet touched the snow. Sometimes my job is just too easy!

Snow Fairy "M"

Who knew that snow fairies would be so cute! Miss "M" is a real snow fairy. She lives up in the North Carolina mountains with her mom & dad. When she arrived at the studio & saw that our snow wasn't cold, as she was used to, she loved it. We had a great time with this shoot. I am still pulling snow out of my hair!

Winter Wonderland Princess

Yes, it is hard to believe that it is that time again! Old man winter has arrived & with him, not only has he brought cold air & frigid temperatures, but he has delivered a beautiful Winter Wonderland set to the studio as well. This set has definitely grown in popularity over the years. We have a limited number of spaces & it usually fills up quick. This year our first little snow princess was Miss "H". Now, she takes a little while to warm up to the camera. When she does, however, her smile could melt even the largest iceberg! Her mom has been patiently waiting to do these portraits since Miss "H" was born. I definitely think her pictures are worth the wait. Here are a few of my favorites!

I'm Back!!!

Hey Studio family members! My mom, sisters & I have returned from our annual "Just the Girls" Cruise. This year we went to Key West & Nassau. We had a great time & the weather was beautiful. Needless to say, we all got burnt. I have included a few pictures from our trip. Hope you enjoy...

Here we are posing in front of the Atlantis on Paradise Island

Our ship docked in Nassau

This is an island off of Key West. Keep booking those appointments & turning those orders in guys.....This is where I want to retire!! Ha! Ha!
