Friends show you your heart and soul

17 December 2011 Posted in My World

This is why having a relationship with your photographer is so important.

Amy did a wonderful job with my family photos. Amy and I have known each other for 4 or 5 years. We met through a photography-coffee group and bonded over our kids and sense of humour. One of the first times we went out together was on a trip to Ikea. All the parents out there know what a special kind of hell a trip to Ikea is with children who are not yet tall enough for the ballroom. Amy still wanted to be my friend even after watching me loose my marbles (and you know I want to insert another word for “marbles”) trying to keep my kids from jumping head first off the shopping cart, and stealing all the Ikea stuffies, as they are want to do.

Amy is one of the funniest, loveliest women I know, and I am blessed to call her my friend.

She captured the most wonderful pictures of my little family. She’s watched my boys grow up, knows how they alternately cling to me like little monkeys and then push me away. I love that she got pictures of us making faces (those weren’t posted, but I will treasure those too) and pictures of the boys (and me) tramping through the woods, picking up sticks. That is such a huge part of my bonding/having fun with the boys, and now we have the pictures to record it. And how many photographers would let her clients sit on the roof of her car, and then get such fabulous pictures.

When you have a friendship with your photographer, you end up with pictures that show your heart and your soul. That is precious.

Thank you Amy!

Go check us out. I make cute kids

Wall displays

15 December 2011 Posted in Menagerie, Products & Pricing

The printer I use has new wall displays. They come in sizes 1.5×1.5 feet, to 4×2 feet (and you could make them even bigger). Since I’ve seen them and started telling clients about them, there’s been a lot of interest. Debbie (and Derek and Jacob and Sadie) are my first clients to get one and I asked if I could come to help set it up with her.

Installation is super-easy. They come with a template you tape to the wall, and long tacks (you do need a hammer to get them all the way in). Then you put up your prints, and voila! A beautiful photo wall.

These awesome, lovely and loving pictures of this family will be the first thing they see every time they open their front door – best Christmas present ever!

Thanks for letting me come and hang out with you Debbie! And for the tea and chat.
