Random Photographs

I have been thinking about putting some prints in a local gallery and I am looking for input on what people may pay for some lovely framed art? or what people may be willing to pay for...

All suggestions are welcome so I can see what people think is reasonable....

oh, and not just these photographs, whay would you like to see?

(the one of Craig is just to show you what we do for fun at home, pose for crazy photos or set up stock shots, such great family fun!)

Finally used Snapfish to create a book! I just made a small book with random photographs to see how it would turn out since I have never used them before.... it turned out great, and it was soooo super easy and great print quality. I could not make them any cheaper, I paid less than $15 for a 20page 5x7 book. Anyone looking to make a small brag book should use snapfish! If you need any help OR need some photographs for your book- give me a call! (great idea for valentines a beautiful book of pictures of his girl, mother's day and father's day are right around the corner too!)

Black and Whites

Looking around today and realized I really need some updated photographs in my room. I am only using black and whites with a thick white matte and black frame for all the photograhs. Here's a few I have been playing with... thinking of going with a larger photo for the boys on the couch, maybe even canvas...

M&H

Freezing cold day for outside photographs, but we braved the cold and got some great shots... Here's a few of Mike and Heathers engagement photographs... will post more later.

baby blue eyes...

...and here is the best photo I could get of William who would not stop playing his new games ALL day long!

Don't you love these eyes! (no editing done to this photo, his eyes are that blue) Just wanting to share one of my favorite Christmas photographs!

Dear Becca

Here are your afterthought christmas pictures... it was 10:30PM kids were already in their jammys and very tired...but they managed to pose for a few good shots... i am not to crazy about your group shots- Angelo is chewing M&M's in them or crying/wiggling. I like this idea best...what do you think?

Away in a manger...

Roses in Snow were laying in the nativity scene.....

I took William out today because he's been wanting to learn to take photographs. We were driving around and found wild turkeys, deer, trees covered in snow... and I saw the nativity outside a local church. I look and look and could not figure out what was missing...

The Christmas holiday is so hipped up with shopping and gifts and Santa Clause... that I think many (including myself) are forgetting the real reason for the season...

Jesus!

it's me!

..only better!

Ethan's favorite places

Can't keep this little guy outta the bathroom! He loves to wash up, bathe, flush the potty, and brush his teeth- and if the door gets left open he helps himself to all of the above!
