brrr!

that's the only title i could think of for this post. wish it could have been about 10 degrees warmer but we still made it work.
he has the most beautiful blue yes.

and little "E" was happy to have my full attention!

and this one is just for laughs!

she owed me bigtime.

the first time i photographed little "M" as a newborn she was a pistol. she wanted nothing to do with me or my camera but i refused to give up and still was able to capture her sweetness. so this session (her 4 month) was quite the opposite. she was so happy to see me.

love the booties and hat

and she really made me happy (ok, happy is an understatement) when she fell asleep as i was beginning to leave. i was thrilled because the back room has the best light of any room i've seen. we got some skin on skin with daddy!

my boys! my boys!

Yeah! i bribed my boys that i would take them to the park to catch frogs as long as they dressed up in what i wanted them to wear as well as allow me to take some quick shots. well, it worked and was so worth it!

So here's some recent stuff from last week! this is going on my mantel along with a few other photos!

handsome and photogenic

these little guys were so fun. they made my job easy b/c they rarely gave fake smiles, were happy to participate everything i asked and my reverse psychology wasn't even necessary.

pumpkins, mums and a bundle of cuteness

this is one of my baby planners. mom sent me the following request prior to her session. here's what she said: "I was thinking of outside: leaves, pumpkins, hay bales, mums, you get the idea.... I want the pics to say "fall"."

i think they do say "fall" don't you?

i've been tagged...

ok, so i've never done this before but it sounds fun. my neighbor and friend julie has tagged me. i am to list 7 quirky things about myself so here goes:

1. when i eat dessert i tend to hide from the kids... if that means waiting until they go to bed i will. if that's not an option, you might find me in the bathroom or even the laundry room. i just want to enjoy each calorie that i indulge and really make the most of the moment.

2. i almost always have to take a hot bath before bed. i feel like it's the best way to warm up if i'm cold and relax so i can fall asleep. yes, even in the summer.

3. i almost always have coffee brewing first thing in the morning... even if i don't have time to drink it i just like the smell and the routine. it reminds me of a happy morning!

4. whenever i take my laundry out of the dryer i have to smell it. in fact, i really don't mind doing laundry... just like it when someone else puts it away.

5. i am a total dreamer. my mind never shuts down which can make it really difficult for me to relax and just chill on the couch or watch tv.

6. i am not a neat freak with my house but only with my floors. with 3 kids stomping around they can get pretty bad. i can't stand crumbs/food on the floor or sticky floors.... as they just get stuck to my feet and tracked into the carpeting and who knows where else. i would rather sweep and mop my wood floors anyday over picking up toys.

7. i love to repaint my home until it's just perfect. i am known to cover my walls with about 4 different coats of paint until i get it just right.

ok, so now i am suppose to tag some more friends so here ya go:
1. Stacey Huddleston
2. Steph Mueller
3. April Carter
4. Michelle Hoard
5. Sara Willhelm
6. and humm, i think i need more friends who blog. i am not so sure why more people don't . it's not hard and it's so fun!

the fall maddness has arrived

everyone craves the color of autumn... and so do i. keep your eye on the blog as i am getting ready to post a slew of sessions!
for starters, here is a sweet family of three who just so happened to be my daughter's spanish tutor.

still all smiles

this little guy is on his third session with me and i love that he hasn't learned to stop smiling at the camera. it makes my job so easy because i don't have to work too hard at it. not that we want just smiles but his sure are contagious!

and look, he's still smiling at me! love it!!

indian summer session

so we didn't really get to take full advantage of the scenery due to extreme sun and hot weather but thank God for some great shade. here's another repeat client that i just adore. these twins are so easy to photograph surprisingly.



here they are going head to head.

a fantastic reason to have a sale!!

We have evened things out in the Sherrick household with another baby in the oven!!! So please join me in celebrating the unborn life of baby number four! Right now I am just over the first trimester....yipee!

I am offering discounted (half-off) photo session fees (regularly $150) for any sessions scheduled within the months of January and February 2009. This is a great opportunity for all those folks I had to turn down due to being "over-booked" this fall. It's also a great Christmas gift if you are searching for something special to give this Christmas. Please contact me asap (via the CONTACT tab on my website) if you are interested as I do fill up quickly. This special excludes "baby planners".




Ok, I must leave you witha photo of a beautiful family happily awaiting the arrival of their third baby.

a seven month old baby equals...

a very happy baby. mom and dad were thankful that little nora liked her photos taken better this time than her newborn session. she lasted so long for her age that we just kept shooting. it's funny how babies get their second wind sometimes. i can't narrow down my favs so here are just a few. i am feeling generous with sharing photos tonight i guess!

i just loved my cabbage patch kid (her name was irissa chrissy) as a child and this just totally brings back memories.

this is my favorite as it's a book about her!!
