The Final Session of 2012...

I did my final session of session of 2012 the day after Christmas. Normally I would have been off but there was a family who had come all the way from Georgia to spend the holidays with their family so this was the only time to squeeze this in.  We were hoping for some indoor and outdoor shots but as the weather would have it, it poured all day!  But the shoot must go on...so I packed up my on the go studio equipment and headed out in the pouring rain.  Here are just a few of the images I captured that day...

If you have been putting off having photos done due to bad weather or just trying to find time to fit them into your busy schedule, give me a call and I can bring my "studio" to you!

An Almost Cancelled Session...

Just now getting to blogging this amazing session I shot before Christmas.  I almost had to cancel this session due to an injury my dog sustained the morning of when her and a buck faced off, needless to say the buck one and my dog spent the rest of the day at the vets office in surgery.  I went ahead with the session and am so happy I did because the images that I was able to capture turned out beautiful.  

However, after the session this amazing family that I had just photographed came home with me to help me with my kids as well as go and pick up my dog from the vet and get her safely home.  I am so blessed to be able to not only have had the opportunity to photograph this family but to call them FRIENDS!

The Snow Globe Frenzy...

Snow globes and ornaments are just a few of the fun ways I was able to showcase some of my favorite photos from sessions I have done over this past year.  I have to admit I had a lot of fun creating them for my clients.  I hope you all enjoy them as well...

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas from the Fowler Family!

* These are all images...but did you know that I can order actual Christmas tree ornaments for you to hang on your tree.  If you have had a past session with me and would be interested please send me an e-mail and I would be happy to show you some of the beautiful templates available!

Celebrating the Big ONE - 3x Over...

I had the privilege of being able to spend an afternoon with a very cute and handsome threesome!!! These beautiful babies are celebrating their first birthday.  Let me tell you photographing three 1 year olds is no small feet, especially since 2 of the 3 are learning how to walk.  They did extremely well though and I am so blessed to have had this opportunity!

These photos were taken in Historic Williamsburg, hope you enjoy them...

Top Secret Family Recipe....LEAKED!!!

I first met my husband back in 1999, that Thanksgiving he drove up to my parents house to spend the day with my family.  That morning for breakfast my mom served Pumpkin Pancakes with Apple Cider Syrup, let me tell you guys pancakes let alone breakfast doesn't get much better than this.  Once we were married, my husband had unrestricted access to the recipe...let's just call it a family pass.  After we were married we were both working nights as RN's up in the NICU and he decided it would be fun to make breakfast for everyone, so he decided on pumpkin pancakes.  Of coarse as all you who have tried them know they were a huge hit!!!  And the next thing I know, I see him standing at the copier handing out copies of the recipe, so this is where the leak began.  Since then, he has leaked it at every hospital he has worked at.  So, in the spirit of giving and to help you all welcome in the fall...here is the NOT so "Top Secret Family Recipe!"

Pumpkin Puff Pancakes with Apple Cider Syrup

Pancakes:

2 Eggs

2x the Fun!!!

I had the privilege of photographing 6 week old twin girls along with their parents.  The biggest challenge for us was trying to keep both girls happy and the place they were the happiest and felt the most secure was when they were in their parents arms!  Hope you enjoy these photos of this beautiful family!
