Happy Birthday Bella

cutest cupcakes ever!

Today I got to take my kids to work with me... I shot a 1year old birthday party at the zoo.

It was a great time, the boys enjoyed themselves, and what a beautiful lil birthday girl! I will post more images throughout the week as I edit. Just had to show off this cutie pie on her big day. Happy 1st Birthday, Bella!

Almost caught up...

Great job on the open house Mom! I got some cute photographys of the decorations!

Gimme a break!

Little people (mostly Ethan) are making me crazy tonight. It only took 1 hour to edit 2 images, with may distractions and interruptions.

I am sure I will be much more efficient when he *finally* goes to bed!

and stuff

!

Happy Birthday to my lil sis Carrie. Thanks for all the modeling you have done for us!

**I have been a such a slacker lately! Thanks to our small burst of spring weather, I am so far behind in posting and editing. Hopefully the storms this week will keep me indoors and on the computer! That means more for you all to see coming soon! **

little something for the blog stockers...

..you know who you are!

Announcing Kate

Portfolio entry has been updated...

Baby Kate

Adorable!

What a precious little baby!

I think newborns are my new favorite to shoot.

Miss Kate you are beautiful!

(..makes me a little baby hungry!)

Gotta love these Boys!

I love crazy black&whites of my boys!

Just a lil' taste...

Todd this one's for you....

Ria

Just a few to get a taste of how todays shoot went... I am sure I got some great portfolio images today, just gotta get them edited now! Can't wait to share them!!!

Portfolio

Ok, this entry will be a work in progress, so keep checking back... I will continually update with photographs that will be printed in my portfolio book. Some posted may not make the final cut... Feedback on any photograph will be greatly appreciated! Enjoy!

D & J

Cowboy Baby

Craig.. this ones for you!

Craig HATES it when I take picture after picture of flower after flower.... But he brought me these beautiful roses last week (just to say "I love you"...how sweet! Aren't all you girls jealous!)

I couldn't help take a few shots because they are so pretty! I wont pain you all with a ton of photos, just this one for now...

Models

I only need to find one more family! Call or email before I book up!

Playdo

Ethan has a new love... playdo. He can play with it and pound it into the table for at least 15minutes. This is quite an accomplishment for him, nothing keeps him entertained this long! I needed to keep him busy so I could get some photographs of him before I cut off the cute blonde locks. I love it, but... turns out I am the only one. Sick of people thinking he is a girl or joking about his "mullett." (now, let's see if I really get brave enough to cut it!)

Models Needed!

HELP! I am looking for some models so I can complete my portfolio book and try out some new techniques! I am looking for newborn, 6month old (just barley sitting up baby), 2 familys, pets, femininity (group of 3-4 women or sisters) and High School Senior.
The sessions will need to be completed by the end of March. I will provide a free session and CD with 10-15 edited images.
If you are intereseted, please email lbateman@wirelessbeehive.com or call 435/840-1685.
(this will be first, come first serve. only needing one session per catagory, except family- I will be doing 2 family sessions.)

My Family

Thanks to my friend Met, we finally have a family photo! I realized that even though Craig and I both take a zillion photographs, we don't have recent family photographs in our house... This will be changing soon! I already printed this photo (11x17, wished I had gone bigger now...) & all I need to do is get it up on the wall....

More stock photographs

Take time...

Found this while I was blog surfing- thought I would share...

Valentines give away contest

Thanks for your entries. And the winner is... Ingrid! She is making a lovely gift for her husband that includes the photograph of her and her daughter that I took last week. I know he will love it!!! She will enjoy her next photo session on the house!

couldn't help myself

...one more picture of Tara!

Ingrid...

I do like the warm glow of the sun from the window to brighten up little faces...
Ingrid, this is the one! To heck with a collage, after all the fooling around I did,
I really like this one all alone!
