Baby, it's cold outside!

Brrr! Isn't this snow something? I'm staying warm and still editing all of the photos from next week. Most of you have your galleries complete by now, but if not you have received an email from me with a time estimate!

From Friday:
*slurp*

I just cannot resist babies with their fingers in their mouth, it's just so cute. That and baby feet... :-D

Today I went to my cousin Daniel's HeadStart Preschool class to talk to them about Photography. We talked about how cameras work and why people take pictures. We looked at some of my pictures and talked about what kind of stories that were happening in them. It was great fun and I'm sure I'll be back several times to visit the class and take photos of them! Here's a picture of me and them:

Me, like, teaching and stuff

I have a few sessions left for next week if anyone is interested!

What a week! I am a little tired, but extremely jazzed at how much fun I had this week! I did several sessions, and am introducing another new product!

This Collage features 5-6 photos (5 if name is on collage) and is perfect for older babies and kids. It can be made in any color! These are also great for sharing with Grandparents (who don't always have the room to display alot of different photos) or hanging in your childs room.
