I am working on a big post of Kate's First Birthday Extravaganza, including her portraits from the pre-birthday sitting. I am in love with all of the images so picking just a few for the post is grueling. I will also be posting a slideshow of the festivities, pictures set to music is my fav.
Again, I can't get enough of the tutu ~ cuteness overload in progress.
The pumpkins are here...
I am now taking appointments for Pumpkin Patch Pictures. Bring your little ghosts and goblins in their costumes or in fall attire for a festive and fun photo shoot. The sitting fee is $50 and includes a disk of your top 10 images.
Appointments are available after 5pm every afternoon and anytime on Saturdays. Hurry, spaces are filling up quickly...
Pink tights and a black leotard ~ classsic. The black and white tile floors just sent me over the edge. St. Peter's Taproots house was the perfect venue for these shots.
Sweet girl Abbie is taking her first ballet class and I was lucky enough to capture her excitement as she headed off to class. Maybe one day I'll have a little ballerina of my own. A girl can dream, right? Until then I am satisfied to capture little girl moments like these...
Host your very own "Portrait Party" with Linley Paske Photography. It is so easy and your guests will love it.
How does it work, you ask?? Pick a date + invite 5-10 friends = free pictures. Really, that's it!
Each guest will get a free 15 minute mini-session with yours truly. Got a great yard? We can shoot outdoors. Not a green thumb? I will bring a backdrop of your choice for an indoor shoot or we can creatively utilize your home interior. There is no sitting fee for any of your guests, and as the hostess you will get a package of FREE prints. See, I told ya it was easy!!
After the party, all images will be uploaded to an online gallery where your guests can order and have their prints delivered directly to their door. Plus, as a hostess you'll get additional print credits based on the orders from your party. It's a win-win for everyone!!
With the holidays approaching, this is a great way to get those Christmas card pictures taken care of, while visiting with your friends at the same time. A two-for-one deal. Yay!
Hurry and book yours now, the calendar is filling up fast!!
So here's a sneak peek from Baby Kate's one year photo shoot.
I was invited to shoot her 1st Birthday Party and I was beyond thrilled when I saw her "birthday suit". Since I am the mother of two boys, I relish any chance I get with a tutu.
I had to get a few shots of Baby Kate and Mommy ~ both beautiful girls!!
More to come...
Oh Palmer, what can I say about my Palmer??
He is inquisitive and tender. Such a sweet spirit for a little boy of two years old. He wraps his arms around my neck every morning when he wakes up as if he hasn't seen me in ages. He is calling out for me as I type this at midnight ~ he talks in his sleep like his Daddy.
These pictures were taken on his 2nd birthday at Venice beach. Unlike Peyton, who hates to get dirty, Palmer delights in the feeling of sand between his toes (and in his hair, his belly button and numerous other crevices).
My squishy Palmer, don't ever grow up...
Have I ever mentioned that I won the husband lottery??
Seriously, I don't think that I have done anything in my life to deserve such an incredible man. Not only is he an amazing husband, but he is the best father to our boys. He is loving yet firm, but mostly he is a big kid at heart. I love him for that.
He is going under the knife tomorrow and I am reminded just how much he means to me. I couldn't do any of this without his encouragement and support. My boys and I are blessed to have him every day. I love him ~ just sayin'.
