I think I’m in love

with little Jacob :) Wow…what a sweet newborn. I just shot this session yesterday but I just could not resist editing a few favorites. This little guy had such a calm nature and sweet face…and wow what a gorgeous mom! I can’t wait to watch how this little guy grows and to see what a handsome little fella he becomes…but in the meantime I’m happy to bask in the sweetness & perfection of all of his 9 little days of life. Mom & Dad…I hope you enjoy! :)

What I’ve been up to

Now that my shooting schedule is getting back into full swing I’m going to be blogging more. I have many new things up my sleeve for 2008 so I’m excited to be getting back into the groove. I have been doing ALOT of design work lately and I have some exclusive canvas designs coming soon…as well as lots of other great stuff…so stay tuned! :)

I have a few sessions to proof but just wanted to share a bit of what I’ve been up to…working hard on the administrative end of this business (have I mentioned how much that stuff stresses me out?!?) and enjoying my family…

I’m back!

I had a fabulous time last weekend at photographer’s workshop & get together in the lovely and frigid state of MN! It was a wonderful time…I learned lots & I mad some fabulous new friends. The talent & creativity there was amazing and I am still soaking in everything! The great Mark Stein was our leader and I must say, coming from my humble home-based business, his studio was AWESOME! Mark has been doing this forever and if even a little bit of his experience and confidence rubbed off on me then I will be incredibly grateful! Anyways…enough babble…onto the pics!

The group shot (© Mark/Stacey Stein): {L to R} Top Row – Ali Hohn, Kelly Bennett, Mark Stein, Kristin Franke (me), Alicia Thiede, Natalie Bacon, Martha Bravo. Bottom Row – Kenneth Deboe, Shannon Steffens, Alisha Robertson, Jodi Friedman, Faith Essary, Kristie Kulik and Carolyn Jones (bottom)
