Thank you to everyone who sent your well wishes and thoughts over the past week.  Two days after my last post, Sophia was admitted to the hospital for dehydration due to Rotavirus.  And may I just say, that is the nastiest virus EVER!  Sheesh.  Luckily, we were just there 2 days letting the IV do its job while the virus ran its course – it was a long couple of days and nights!

However, we are home.  Happy.  Hydrated.  Playing.  And LOVING this gorgeous weather!!  I shot this a few minutes ago because the blooms on the trees are just too pretty to miss.

I also wanted to mention that the website for Legacy Pregnancy Center is now live, and you can check it out here:

www.legacypregnancy.org

I was excited to help this organization in any way possible and had a lot of fun working on the donor side of the website.  Stop by and if you are able, support this organization!!  =)

On a side note, I have obviously had to reschedule and postpone several sessions recently, so stay tuned for a slew of posts…from newborns and families to boudoir, there will be something for everyone!  Thanks for stopping by!

I am so very excited to begin offering these fun little local workshops for teens wanting to take their photo skills up a notch!  Think on-location, fun, casual, informative…and even more fun when you bring your friends!  I am happy to meet with you one-on-one, or you can choose to bring up to 4 of your photo-loving buddies.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity if you are photo-crazed!  I will answer all your questions and tailor our session to your interests and desires.  It’s really like a cool version of a day-camp.  =)

Oh, and did I happen to mention that if you’re a senior, you get a discount on your senior session with Alissa?!  That’s right.  Just click for more info.  You won’t be disappointed!

A very talented lady contacted me a month or so ago, wondering if I’d want to photograph her handmade hats and dresses for sale through her adorable business:

Noggin Knots

Ummm, yes please!  And so she stopped by last week with a pile of beautifully crocheted hats and handmade pillow-case dresses in the most darling fabrics to adorn some beautiful girlies.  So fun.

And although I rarely have my children “pose” for pictures – that’s just not me – Sophie and I did take advantage of the day we had our blizzard and decided these would fit the bill.  She’s so NOT into modeling, (although she wanted to help me out with this one, sweet thing) you would laugh if you knew the measures her daddy was going to in the background and how ridiculous we were as she fidgeted away, begging to be finished.  hehe. 

Anyway, I am working to build a portfolio for Marcie, with Noggin Knots, and thought I’d have a little fun with it…I’m looking for a 2-3 girlies, aside from my own, to be the cover girls!

Here is what I need:

(ages are approximate as the dresses are made to fit loosely)

Baby Girls size: 12 months ::: 18 months ::: 24 months

To be eligible, you must leave a comment here with interest letting me know what size your little one is, and be willing to sign a model release allowing the images to be used on her website and mine.

All entries are due by May 24th (2 weeks from now!) and 2-3 winners will be drawn randomly from each size category.  No pictures necessary – this is for fun!

Free session, no min. purchase.  You may buy prints at 20% off if you choose once the proofs are released.  All sessions are “mini” in size, meaning 15 min. or so.Are they yummy or what?!!

STAY TUNED FOR SOME SWEET GIVEAWAYS COMING SOON HERE ON THE BLOG!!!Looking forward to hearing from you!  And don’t forget to check out all her cute things – go buy something and treat the little girlie in your life!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you amazing mamas out there!!!

After hearing from several of you mentioning you’d love to see something more one-on-one, just helping you out in certain areas of business and photography, I’m hoping this fits your needs!  I have my first session coming up and am super excited to get these little mentoring sessions off the ground!

Introducing:

Information to come on hands-on mentoring for local teens – stay tuned!

I absolutely *LOVE* what I do and really enjoy sharing my experience and knowledge with others.  I’ve loved taking pictures since I was a little girl and cannot imagine doing anything else for my career!  There is something magical about capturing a beautiful moment that is then preserved forever – a memory you get to mull over for years to come.  And the thing I love most about what I do is not only creating these images for my children, but also doing that for YOU.

I have considered two options that may interest my local clientele: a workshop for moms wanting to take better pictures of their kids, and also a little photography camp for kids/teens.

I am also open to the idea of working with other photographers just getting started who want to build their business and grow their photography skills.

I get emails almost daily about certain aspects of my business and have had quite a few inquiries over the past year regarding whether or not I’d ever teach.  I’ve thought about it for a while and would love to know where your interests lie, who you are and what you might be looking for.

I have one exciting idea that is about to enter the planning stages for 2011 (this is BIG!) =), but in the mean time, I would love to pick your brain and see what might be a good fit for me and YOU.

Please vote below so I can get a better idea of how much interest is out there and what ya’ll want!  =)

****IF you are interested and vote in the poll below, PLEASE SHOOT ME AN EMAIL OR LEAVE A COMMENT WITH YOUR NAME so I can add you to the contact list!  Thanks, and I’m excited to hear from you!****

And because a post is never very fun without some eye candy to go with it, here are a few random favorites:

Remember to leave your name in the comment section and/or email me!  (I have several votes with no names)  Thanks!!  =)

***EDITED TO ADD 4/30/10: For those of you who have expressed interest in having me come to your city, please contact me with the location you have in mind.  Thank you!!!***

Please pray.  Pray for this little girl who has inspired me and has had me glued to Google Reader for days!!!  My heart goes out to her family and I’m just so blown away at what this little one has overcome in the past week.  My hope is that she will see many miracles in her big future!!
