{Welcome Miss A} Sheridan, Wyoming Baby + Newborn Photographer

Alissa — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 16:06:22 +0000

I just love babies, and am realizing that I love my job all that much more when I get to meet, hold and snuggle these tiny people! This little one was just 6 days old and so completely perfect that I think I’m going to have a hard time controlling myself in the blog post. =)

She was BEAUTIFUL. And so was her big sis. And her parents. I truly enjoyed meeting this family and spending a few hours documenting what is truly the most monumental moment in married life: the welcoming of a child.

And how lucky am I to capture that? I think I mentioned I {LOVE} what I do. And here she is…Miss A.

and with her adoring big sis…and her over-the-moon parents…(the shot on the left made me laugh – doesn’t it look like she’s going to be a ballerina???) =)you can tell this little peanut is going to get loved on plenty. No worries there. =)Congrats to this family – I wish you lots of sleep, laughs and love!!!

Oh. My. Goodness. Warning: baby fever will be induced if you choose to scroll down. =) Please refrain from eating your monitor…because this new arrival is beyond adorable and in my opinion, quite edible!
Really, I photograph a good number of babies. And they’re all adorable. But every now and then one comes along that just captures your heart and makes you want to take them home. Or keep them home, in this case seeing that this sweet mama, her two boys and sister drove 2 hours to meet up with me this morning – THANK YOU for trusting me with your precious babe; it means the world to me to have such wonderful, faithful clients!!! And mind you, plenty of this little guy will be seen here on the blog as he’s signed up for my baby plan. I’m so excited to watch him grow this year!

And not to keep you waiting any longer…Thanks for stopping by, and leave some love for this little beauty and his mama in the comment section! We’d love to hear from you! =)

Today I had the honor of photographing this little beauty.And I just might add that I fell in love with her. Sigh. Seriously, she was the tiniest little person born just 11 days ago at 37 weeks weighing just over 5 lbs. She is precious and beautiful, and I would like to order one just like her. =) And did I mention her mom and dad waited eight long years for her?? I think her debut has been long awaited!

Her mom and her grandma traveled from out of town to meet with me, and I hope these images make it worth their trip! I typically love black and white images for babies, but these just felt fresh, colorful and sweet just as they were. Thanks to all three of these ladies for such a fun(ny) afternoon!! I can’t wait to share the rest with you! Enjoy!

{Mini Session for Kids} Sheridan, Wyoming Child Photographer

Alissa — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:23:12 +0000

2010 is looking to be a fabulous year, and as the bookings line up and my time becomes less and less available I wanted to provide a way for families who prefer a quick, miniature session of their kiddos this year, to do just that. =)

Here are the details! Space is limited, so don’t hesitate to contact me early!

{Happy New Year, Part 2} Sheridan, WY Photographers

Alissa — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 23:05:07 +0000

Sorry for the slight delay…I’m learning I really shouldn’t promise anything on this blog because my life seems to get away from me at times! At the moment, I’m painting my kitchen cabinets (endless amounts of cabinets) and it is sucking the life right out of me! Actually, I’m quite enjoying most of it but it is so. very. time. consuming. I had planned to take January and February off from work and then….well, I created a whole new variety of work for myself. =) I’m getting the itch to start taking sessions again though, so hopefully I will finish this project sooner rather than later!!

As for sessions for new and returning clients, I will be posting some new specials and things (in addition to the current special) and will start booking mid February! Keep an eye out for those!

If you are interested in a spring session, get on the books now as I typically book 6-8 weeks in advance. I have some new collections and offerings this year that I think will be a huge hit; I’m getting very excited for a new year!!

Speaking of New Year, here is the second part of my 2009 Year-In-Review:

I truly have the most amazing clients!! I am so blessed! This sweet lady was one of my first sessions of 2009 and was so much fun to work with!And she had one very cute little man, I might add:

This next family is one of my most treasured clients – I absolutely adore them! We met early in the year to photograph this handsome little guy:And several months later, he’d grown up a little more and was about to become a big brother:And then his baby sis arrived and my camera absolutely loved her!:This next set is of one of my very favorite clients – I’ve had the pleasure of working with them for years and have enjoyed seeing their girls grow and getting to know their sweet mom:And new clients that I feel so lucky to have met:And another sweet baby girl I got to photograph; love those first few days and weeks (this first one has always cracked me up…it’s like she’s trying hard to answer a question!):Okay, I’m realizing this is way harder than I ever thought possible!!! Picking just a few from each session feels like torture. Okay, here we go. Keep going. =)

Onto one of my most memorable sessions of the entire year; I seriously fell in love with this family!

Well, seeing that I have another slew of client folders to get through, I will stop for today. More to come…and hopefully within the week! LOL. I’m off to put my painting clothes back on! =)

Have a happy weekend!

Although it’s now into the second week of January, I’ve recently been reflecting on all my wonderful clients this year and wanted to say a huge

THANK YOU

to each and every one of them! I truly had the best year ever, and I only have my valued and incredible clients to thank for that!! From awesome engagement and boudoir sessions (click both words to view more sensitive images), to family and newborn sessions, my time spent with each client was so rewarding and fulfilling! I feel incredibly blessed to work with such fun people, make such great friendships throughout the process, and do what I love most!

2009 in Review: (Part 2 and 3 coming over the weekend!)

Thanks for looking, and I’ll be back in a day or so with even more favorites from this past year!

This little bundle of love arrived on my doorstep this afternoon – but he wasn’t left for us, unfortunately, but brought by his sweet mama! =) I had the pleasure of photographing him a little over a month ago still tucked away in his mama’s tummy, and unfortunately missed his birth as he decided to come in record time while I was driving to the hospital! But this can officially be his debut. =) He was truly the strongest, most alert and UNSLEEPY baby I’ve ever been around for just over a week old. The kid is ready to crawl!

So his mom and I enjoyed spending our afternoon attempting to get him to doze off into sweet baby land, while he defied all sleeping odds entirely. I snapped off about 5 pictures of him actually sleeping before my 2-year-old began banging on a “drum” and woke him up. Mind you, I normally do not have my children around, but my husband was home and her two older boys were here as well. And so we had one big happy family! =)

I just want to congratulate this sweet family on the arrival of their third boy – he’s precious to say the least!

Have a great weekend everyone! I will be back soon with some pictures from our Thanksgiving holiday weekend: think 6 kids under the age of 7!!! =)

{Welcome to the World: Special} Sheridan, Wyoming Birth Photographer

Alissa — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:08:07 +0000

Nothing is more exciting and monumental than welcoming a new life into the world; and having those beautiful and fleeting memories captured on film can make it that much sweeter. I’ve recently had the privilege of being invited to photograph the birth experience for two special clients, but as luck would have it, neither one worked out at the very last moment. Last night one of my clients welcomed her precious babe in record time as I was driving to the hospital! =)

What does birth photography entail? I will come to you, whether you are having a home birth or a hospital birth and capture this incredible time in a creative, documentary and sensitive way. I will be documenting the interactions between your spouse and children, some of the laboring experience, and of course the welcoming of the new baby! My style is entirely unobtrusive and documentary in nature so that you can labor peacefully with me in the background; in fact, you may not even know I’m there.

And so, because this is an avenue I’ve been wanting to pursue for a very long time, I am running a special! I am now taking bookings for February (and beyond), and the first 2 ladies to book a maternity and/or newborn session with me will receive FREE birth photography (as well as a complimentary brag book of the event)!

Book now to take advantage of this offer! I can’t wait to meet you and your sweet babe(s)!

As promised, here are a few more of the beautiful little girlie from yesterday! My husband keeps telling me I’m only allowed to do these sessions as long as my baby fever doesn’t overwhelm me and cause me to start asking for more babies. ;) We’ll see. Who knows, but it’s pretty hard not to get a wave of “baby fever” when perfect little people like this show up at your front door. ;)

I couldn’t decide on this one between color and bw…
As an artist it’s always fun to hear which image happens to be the favorite, so let me know which one YOU like in the comments below! Either that, or just leave a little blog love for this sweet family!!! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

I wanted to also say thank you to this family – this was their third session this year, and it’s been so much fun watching your family grow and change!! =)

This is the Beauty I was lucky enough to spend my morning with! Her mama and I tested out the light in my new house and chatted while the little Miss fought hard against going to sleep. She decided sleep was overrated and instead, much preferred to eat her morning away. Who doesn’t prefer that? ;) And so, we waited patiently. Until the very end when we got this:

I have a million and one images to get through, but this one kind of jumped out at me and I wanted to share really quickly. Stay tuned for many more to come in the next few days! I have a maternity session in an hour, so I need to get ready for that. It’s going to be a full weekend with a senior session on Sunday, but that’s fine by me. ;) Just grateful to be busy and given the opportunity to do what I love. Have a happy weekend!!
