2010 has been my busiest season yet, thank you to everyone for such a wonderful year, it was so fun to meet each and everyone of you.  I’m hoping to start posting more regularly or at least once a week.  Unfortunately, I am heading into the crazy madhouse season of three kids in sports, Iowa football season tickets, and ramping up Announcing A Baby for the insane holiday card season…There is little time left in between and I’ve been focusing all my energy into getting galleries out on time and filling orders which is ultimately the best thing for my clients, although I know you all love the sneak peeks.  I would like to, however, compile a collage of the last 2-3 weeks of those sessions that haven’t been blogged….we’ll see how that goes!

With the winter season just around the corner, I will once again be holding In Home Sessions.  I’m really looking forward to that, some of my personal favorite images have come from the comfort of your very own home.   And if you can be flexible with your schedule, I might even be able to squeeze a couple of those in for non baby planners in November and early December 2010.  So if you’ve missed getting your family photos in this year, please still do email me so I can place you on a waiting list.

Have a great week, what’s left of it….and to all my clients who are Hawkeye Fans, see you Saturday.  Well, maybe, amongst the 70,000 other people there!

Can’t wait to meet up with these two again when baby arrives!
