“A photograph is memory in the raw. ”

~Carrie Latet

I had a wonderful response to last week’s {wall art wednesday}.  I find it is a challenge for most people in this busy world to give thought to taking their photos out of albums and onto their walls.  Give your photographs and memories the place they deserve in your home.  Make a statement and go big.  You really will adore it and be so happy you did.  Here are a few more ideas to get you started…

I just love this one…I have a very similar photo of my two kiddos and they are around the same ages, too.  Think I should blow it up and put it in our bedroom?  :)   One photograph blown up big can make such an impact, don’t you think?

How fun!  I bet you would never think to put your frames this close together and in this pattern…look how they are all different sizes, too.  Might be pretty easy to do, don’t you think?

This one is similar to the previous wall display…I just love how it wraps around the corner!  So unique!

Just by grouping six or more (I love at least nine even more) frames of the same size together, you are making a huge statement.  This is pretty much what I have on the wall in the office except the frames are all square.  I.love.it.

What have you done to make a statement in your own home with photographs?  Share with us!  I can’t wait to share some of my client images…thanks to those that have already shared!  :)

“Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights, before the dark hour of reason grows.”

~John Betjeman

These two sweeties are just sooo precious!  I just love how they both are so different from one another!  Little Miss has the most gorgeous blue eyes, while her big bro has equally stunning eyes but of brown!  They are both so full of energy and curiosity, they reminded me so much of my own babies.  :)   This little man took an immediate liking to my red chair (how could he not, don’t you love it?  He he!) and was happy to take care of my son’s toy airplane that I brought along.  Ironically, it was a Southwest airplane–where both of his parents work!  Fun!  It was a fun session of exploring and playing–thanks so much for an awesome session, B family!  Here are just two sneakie peekies to tide you over for now.  :)   Have fun in Flagstaff–I’m sooo jealous of the weather you will have!

“He opened the jar of pickles when no one else could. He was the only one in the house who wasn’t afraid to go into the basement by himself. He cut himself shaving, but no one kissed it or got excited about it. It was understood when it rained, he got the car and brought it around to the door. When anyone was sick, he went out to get the prescription filled. He took lots of pictures … but he was never in them.”

“Where there is great love, there are always miracles.”

~Willa Cather

What a fun session!  I had a great time with this fab family that just moved here from Texas LAST MONTH!  I will be photographing their sweet baby girl when she makes her arrival in May, and I already have a soft spot in my heart for her.  Her name is going to be the same as my own Addison Grace!   Ahh, it brings back so many memories of just a year ago.  Babies are so incredible, aren’t they?  This mama rocked her session and had some fun ideas of her own, which I always love.  Big sister was a natural, too.  Thanks so much for a wonderful session–I look forward to seeing you again in just a few short weeks.  :)   Enjoy your sneak peeks!

“I don’t understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine’s Day.  When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.”

~Author Unknown

Happy Valentine’s Day!  Last night we had a little incident.  Jackson was a bit confused, and it just broke my heart.  You see, in the month leading up to Christmas we had Nemo the Elf staying with us so he could watch over Jack and Addie and then report back to Santa.  When Christmas was over, Bob thought it best that Jack’s “buddies” (his tattered, extremely well loved bear that he has had since he was born) go back to the North Pole with Nemo.  After a few days and seeing that Jack very much missed his Buddies, I decided that he should return.  :)   Fast forward to last night, when I hear Jack sobbing in his bed.  When I went to his room, he said, “Maybe if I hide buddies behind my back or in the bathroom Cupid won’t take him!”

I guess Cupid, in the mind of a three year old, is much like Nemo the Elf.  Apparently he takes children’s lovies.  How sad!  He broke my heart hearing his concern and saddness.  I of course reassured him that no one would take his beloved buddies and that he would be with us for some time.  All was well, and Jack happily asked where Cupid was this morning.

Happy Valentine’s Day, folks.  :)

“A brother is a friend provided by nature.”

It was wonderful to see this family again–can’t believe that it has been a year!  The brothers are still as handsome as ever and I couldn’t resist posting this shot of the two of them jumping.  They won for the highest jumps of the day!  Wow!!  :)   It was great to see you again, M family!! Thanks so much!

“A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.”

~Marion C. Garretty

Wow!  These two sisters and their mom were so fun!  They giggled and just had the best time with each other.  I adore the colors that they wore, too!  So bright and they totally made their photographs, don’t you think?  Their clothing choices really accented their eyes, too!

“Cousins are friends that will love you forever.”

~Constance Richards

How adorable are these three?!  I had the opportunity to photograph this little pumpkin when she was born, and now with her two cousins.  They adore their new cousin, and they are just so sweet with her.  Thanks for being my little models–boy did sister know how to pose!  :)

“Love is what dreams are made of.”

~Anonymous

The gorgeous blue eyed sweetie that graces my website is back, and this time she brought the whole family.  :)   Lucky me, aren’t they some of the most photogenic people?  What a wonderful way to start off the most recent day of Holiday Mini Sessions!  It was a day filled with lots of beautiful and sweet people…so happy to have been able to photograph everyone!  More sneak peeks to come.  E family, thanks for getting up with the sun for a great session.  I must add, too, that you have two of the most polite children.  It was a pleasure!  Enjoy your sneak peeks!

“Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero. “

~Marc Brown

We had so.much.fun with this session!  During a session, I love to just walk around and explore an area, and inspiration hits me at the oddest times.  When I spotted an abandoned shopping cart in front of an old, blue car repair shop, my mind just swirled with fun possibilities.  Luckily, this family was up for the fun and trusted my vision–as crazy as it sounded.  The shopping cart images are some of my favorites from the session.  Don’t they just look so close and fun all piled in there with Dad wheeling them?!

These two brothers are so close in age and love cars, trucks and each other.  It is so obvious…despite the good-natured lip-pinching–you’ve been caught on camera, sweet Finley!  He-he!  Mom Grace is the owner and designer behind Finley and Oliver, and she made these most adorable tees that her boys are wearing.  You might remember her from a giveaway we had earlier on the blog.   They are a stylin’ fam, I tell you!  I loved everything–right down to their shoes!  You all rock, thanks!
