Project Life 2012 : Title Page

I have spent the better part of this year reading Becky’s blog and following along as other memory-keepers like Ali Edwards have documented their Project Life album, and I can honestly say I am ready and so very excited to begin the adventure myself this year.    I have opted to go all digital using the Jessica Sprague products for now.  (After working all afternoon on the title page I realized the template is 10×12….so I am not exactly sure how these will be printed into a book as that is not a standard book size.)

My album of choice?  Clementine!  I LOVE just about every card, paper, and embellishment in this kit….which doesn’t happen very often!

Anyhow, so far so good.  Here is my title page:

I ended up having to use photos from a photobooth shoot Holly and I did at the Mall of America before Christmas to get a photo of myself as part of the layout.  Definitely something I have to be aware of next year–getting out from behind the camera!

I look forward to seeing how this develops, and what process I use to compile all of our “stuff”  from the week.  Let the fun begin!

Welcome Elliot — Minneapolis/St Paul Family Photographer

 

The past two weeks have been busy ones at the studio, and one of the most fun evenings I have had this summer so far was early this week with this adorable family!  Mom wanted to both celebrate the arrival of the family’s newest addition, Elliot, but also get some updated images of her older children…and I am pretty sure we got it all.  This is only a small portion of the images I have been editing all afternoon, everytime I open up a new file I jump out of my seat and say–”oh, this is my favorite!”  Enjoy the sneak peek mom!

Mom also gets five-stars for her styling–these images are a perfect example of how to dress your family for a photoshoot.  Coordinating, without matching–similar tones, colors, and hues–loved the bright colors.  Perfect for a summer evening photo session!

Brothers–Minneapolis/St Paul Child Photographer

Had a great time tonight at the park with these two handsome guys.  We ran up and down hills, played at a park, wrestled in the grass…you name it!  I absolutely LOVE taking photos on a summer evening–you get color and light this time of year that is like no other.

This is one of my favorite shots, but there are oh so many to choose from.  I mean seriously, have you ever seen two cuter little men?

Jackson — Minneapolis/St Paul Newborn Photographer

Back in the studio this morning…..Meet Jackson, five days old and cute as a button!  This is just one of the many adorable images he produced, it’s practically a whole session of “keepers!”

I am still looking for newborn models, so if you know of anyone that’s due soon, or just had a baby, please send along my info.  Newborns are such a joy to photography!
