Maddie...Senior 2011!

Ok, Ok...I know she is gorgeous and I could never take a bad photo of this beautiful high school senior, but I LOVE her photos.  She is so adorable in the simplest of outfits.  She has an amazing smile but also a captivating serious look.  Maddie was so easy to work with too!  She makes every pose look so natural...totally making me look good!  Thanks Maddie, for choosing Artistic Images!!

Humbled by Generosity

I want to tell you that this week I have a lot to be thankful for.  I have an amazing husband who has had to rearrange his life to take care of the kids since our nanny quit with no notice over the weekend.  I have an amazing sister, Ali, who has stepped in to watch our children so my hubby and I can go in to the studio and try to accomplish something.  I have parents who will do anything they can to help (like make the homemade frosting for Joshua's birthday cupcakes). A brother and sister in law who have helped to entertain by taking my kids to the Zoo and Six Flags! I have a business that is thriving despite a "weak" economy and wonderful clients to work with that make my job soooo much fun. I have 3 beautiful sons (one of whom is going to be 5 on Saturday).  And I have some of the most amazing friends that a girl could ask for.
I recently returned from a trip to South Carolina for the Phelan McDemid Syndrome Foundation conference (now known as PMSF).  We were all inspired by the research that is happening in the field of genetics.  Specifically the Shank 3 gene which has been discovered that our PMS children and many children with autism are missing. So much more research needs to be done but it all costs money. That is why the foundation has come up with the $22 for 22q in 22 days.  This fundraiser started August 1st and will go until the 22nd of this month.
I posted this to my facebook page and within minutes I had friends, aquaintences, clients & peers posting the info onto their page and going to http://www.pmsf.org/ and donating.
What was even more amazing was that several of my photographer friends actually took it a step further. For everyone who donated $$ and brought the receipt to their studio, they are giving their clients DOUBLE the amount they donate as CREDIT to their studio!  Isn't that Amazing???
Words can not express the gratitude I feel towards everyone who is helping these beautiful children.  The least I can say is THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart....And keep it going!!!

Together we can make a difference!!

Facebook Friday 2010!

Facebook Friday is BACK!

Last year I had so much fun photographing all of the professionals that came into the studio for our Facebook Friday!  It is fun now to see everyone's Facebook Profile Pic to be one that I took.  Since I am totally addicted to Facebook, I see how important a great Profile Pic is.  It is seen over and over again and if it is not good, then it will stick in everyone's mind.  I want your image to stick in everyone's mind because it is an AWESOME image of you. Networking with other professionals over the web is where the future is...so don't have your photo say the wrong things about you. A bad photo can say volumes about who you are as a business person.  I don't want that to happen to you!  Get on the phone now and RSVP at

All mini sessions encouraged to have a reservation.

Walk-ins will be taken on an first come first serve basis.

Portrait Session Gone Wrong!

I tend to brag on my children about how awesome they are whenever I get the chance, right?  Well this time I wanted to make all you parents who have had uncooperative children during a portrait session feel a little bit better. I had my sweet little angels come over for our "Take me out to the Ballgame" session since this was their first year in T-ball.  While they were here, I did some portraits of my littlest son, Joshua, for his 5th birthday swim party as well.  Can you say SPOILED????  They think just because they come to Mommy's studio to take photos that they automatically get to go to the treasure chest??? Guess again!  They think that just because they have seen Rebecca's comic relief routine many times that they can now roll their eyes at her????  Think again!!!

Needless to say, sweat was not the only thing coming out of my pores!  This has not been the first time they have acted up but it has started to escalate into this contest of "lets see who can make Mommy the maddest?"  Let's suffice to say that I got great images (no thanks to them) and I got some fabulous outtakes that I should now share with the world.  One day they may hate me but for now I am just wanting to let everyone have a good laugh!  Now never say "I'm sorry my kids were so bad" to me.  We are all in this for one reason...to capture our children the way they truly are so we can remember the stories later, when we are old and grey. 

Davis Family...Expecting!

Check out these images of the Davis Family.  This family is so photogenic that they look like models!  The newest baby boy is due any day now and they can't wait to meet him!
