Holcombe, Wisconsin Class of 2010 ~ Downtown Fargo

Thanks for coming all this way Craig! It was very nice photographing you and your family.

What a crazy couple weeks this was! Finally, the river is on the decline, already dropping more than a foot in a couple days. As crazy as it is and as hectic as it gets, Fargo rises to the challenge and pulls it off! I’ll be done with the river pictures for awhile – I’ll get out there when things are close to normal again and snap a few more for comparison. I’ve had many great compliments here and on Facebook and by email for showing the day to day changes. The geek in me likes to show those kinds of things. I also know that plenty of people that live here don’t get to see that every day on their own and certainly people that don’t live here have no idea otherwise. I’ve seen clips on the news showing the many people hanging out on the Main Avenue bridge to get their own shots and to see the river for themselves. It certainly has be a local hot spot this week!

So, back to other matters – I said I wasn’t shooting anymore this month but within days that changed. I’ve photographed 2 sessions that I’ll get posted soon and will have another one next week! I’ll be posting those soon! Spring is right around the corner [we hope!!] and session dates are filling up. My weekend available dates decrease in the spring for family/sports obligations. If you’re thinking of a session before the end of the school year, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, schedule soon to ensure a date with delivery time before you need them.

2010 Seniors – we’re ordering announcements! Don’t forget to make your appointment or place your order soon! Graduation will sneak up on you with all the fun things going on in the next couple of months.

2011 Seniors – NOW is the time to get your spring or summer session scheduled!

Is it too early to talk about the holidays? I’m just going to mention it now real quick. Every fall I have to turn away some families for holiday card sessions because they wait too long to schedule and I fill up for those pretty fast. Especially those wanting fall leaves – we know those are only around for a week or two! Schedule now, reserve your spot, ensure your session early. You won’t forget, I’ll send out reminders!

March Newsletter coming soon – are you signed up?!

It’s my birthday and I’m sharing it with you! Come celebrate with me and check out these cool specials!

As 2009 in nearing it’s end, I’ve taken some time the past few days to think about so many things that I want to do in 2010. But every time I look ahead, I also look behind. I glance through blog posts and online albums, I see the images that are a top my desk. And I feel such a rush and am full of heartfelt gratitude and warmth and am ever thankful every day for my awesome clients that have made this year extra amazing. I’ve met some really amazing families – full of hope and strength and neverending love. I’ve laughed and played and held newborn precious bundles in my arms. I’ve been licked and sniffed by dogs, kept at a distance by cats [and those of you that know cats, you know this is totally ok]. I’ve worked with families and babies, pets, high school seniors, friends and siblings. I’ve been so blessed to be in the company that I am – to have made friends with my clients and hold them close to my heart. And I am so thankful upside down, backwards and sideways to be doing what I love. Those of you that know me well know that my family comes first in my life. My kids are my everything. They drive me to be my best so that I can inspire them to be their best. They are why I fell in love with photography and they are why I hope that I can continue to love photography forever, and share it with all of you.

We’re smack in the middle of the holiday and in Fargo, a blizzard. My feisty young ones are tucked in and sound asleep. The tree shines it’s pretty white lights. The packages are all placed. And before I go to sleep I needed to share my Thank You.

Here’s a look back at 2009 and all of you who chose me to create something special for you. I am thankful for you and hope to see you again soon! Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season and in welcoming 2010!

This is such an awesome special – what a great way to get an early jump on planning your 2010 sessions! Class of 2011, it’s not too early to plan your senior session! Missed out on a family session for the holidays this year? Book it early for next year, don’t be left out again! Session discounts happen very rarely – I’d love to have so many people take advantage of this awesome special and have some wonderful images made of you and your family!
