I remember as a little girl I would rearrange my bedroom once a month. Yes, I think my obsession for design began when I was seven. I loved creating different displays…I still do. One thing that I enjoy doing is working with my clients to display their photographs in their homes. Whether it is grouping images together to create one beautiful display, or choosing one image and showcasing it, I love the creative process. I have been working on my own personal display in my home, and I thought I would share that with you today. It is a mixture of recent and old family photos. I choose to mix up the frames and textures of the mattes. Many of the images are custom framed, some are from Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware. I still have more images to add…a work in progress.

Next up, I’d love to share with you a few images from one of my wonderful clients homes. The first image is a grouping of five images to create one amazing display. There is also room to add on for future images as the children get older:) The image in the middle is a 16×20 print with a three inch linen matte and my favorite black wooden frame. The four surrounding images are 11×14 prints with a two inch linen matte with the same black wooden frame just a smaller version.

This family also decided to matte and frame their favorite family image. I just love it!

Finally, they wanted single images of the kids on canvas. Canvases were 16×24. They looked fantastic!

If you would like me to see your displays, email me a photo I’d love to see them!

Photographing these adorable sisters was a wonderful way to start 2012! We lucked out and were able to go outside with weather that felt like Spring. The littlest one was eight months and had the prettiest blue eyes, simply adore this age. Big sister melted me with her big brown eyes and beautiful smile. Both of the girls were a dream to photograph and I look forward to sharing the gallery with Mom and Dad. But for now, here are a few of my favorites.

If you have had the opportunity to visit my studio, then you have seen the beautiful blonde little girl on the pony hanging on the wall. It will forever be one of my favorite images. Well, that beautiful blonde little girl has a brother, and I simply adore both of them. Every year their mom and I think of ways to “rock out” their holiday card. The result was wonderful. Can’t wait for next year:)

Here are a few of my favorites.

When I received the email from Mom that Mr S is now a year old and ready for his one year old photos I thought to myself “where did a year go?”. I thought it would be fun to do a little compare and contrast with this post. I want to start with a precious newborn photo of Mr S, so angelic.

And now a year old with the biggest most beautiful brown eyes.

Of course I had to get a few shots of sweet Miss L.

This is the photo of them together last year.

And them together this year.

My favorite, I just love his cute little personality shining through in this photo.

It’s always wonderful to see you G family. I’m already looking forward to our photo session in 2012!

I wanted to take this time to wish everyone a very happy holiday. I hope all of you enjoy spending time with your loved ones. I am truly so grateful for all of the wonderful families that I get the opportunity to photograph throughout the year. I am looking forward to seeing may of you again in 2012 and meeting new families along the way.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Gosh, what a way to end the year. This handsome little guy was officially my last session for the year and we had such a great time together. Sweet baby j had the sweetest blue eyes and a smile that makes you melt. C family I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, I can’t wait to show you your gallery:)

I just wanted to put out a friendly reminder that ALL holiday orders need to be placed by December 5th to assure holiday delivery. So, if you don’t know what to get the grandparents, I’m sure they would love beautiful photos of their grandkiddos. Also, my gift certificate promo will be ending on December 9th. Finally, the studio will be closed from December 19th until January 3rd.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

This year I am so thankful to be the mom of two amazing kids. I hope all you enjoy your Thanksgiving this year with your friends, family and amazing kiddos. ~ Beth

Mom and Dad are simply overjoyed with their sweet baby girl and it showed in the photos. Baby C was absolutely beautiful and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to capture her during this very precious time. Here are a few of my favorites from our session. Enjoy.
