Hello to all of my wonderful clients. It has been a wonderful and busy fall season and I enjoyed each and every one of our sessions this year. As always, thank you, thank you, thank you. For both referring your family and friends to me, and for continuing to come back and having me be a part of your children’s lives as they grow. I love my job, I know I say that all the time, but it is true…I really do. 
After almost 4 years of working on-location in Portland, I have finally leased my first natural light studio. I’ll still be doing on-location work, but this will allow us to have a dry and warm place for sessions on these dark and wet winter days, and will also allow a nice central location for newborn and baby sessions with guaranteed great light. I can’t wait! I just got the keys today, so I’ll be working on beautifying for a few weeks and open the doors after the holidays. I’ll post photos of the progress soon for you as well. When I officially open, I will be running a really great special (for the rest of the winter before outdoor portrait season starts at the end of March) for studio mini sessions, so be sure to check in with me and especially tell your pregnant friends and family! I’ll be booking a limited number of each age group so I can really learn the new light with various aged kiddos, but would especially love to work on some maternity and newborn sessions so I can get some new “before and after the baby” studio samples.
And now in other news…do you remember my wall gallery giveaway earlier this year? I got to meet a lovely new client, Lynn, and her family of 5. 2 year old twins, and a new baby boy. Here is a photo of her finished and hung gallery. She went with the thinner wrapped canvas prints that require no framing. Beautiful, classic look. The largest canvases are 16×20’s, the middle sized are 11×14’s, and the smaller ones are 8×10’s. Please excuse my snapshot with glare! I will run another giveaway soon, still haven’t decided if it should be another wall gallery giveaway or a coffee table album, etc…feel free to chime in with ideas!
Finally, here are a few quick snapshots of a display I recently put up at an OB clinic in Emmanuel Hospital. It is in the non-stress test room, so hopefully it is making some very pregnant women smile while they sit strapped to the machines for 20 minutes 
Left wall, back wall, and then right wall, when looking into the room:
I at least know it was making the nurses smile while I was hanging it, the concesus was, you all have BEAUTIFUL babies.
