the lulu belle minis...

are ready for scheduling!  We'll be doing one day at each location, so excited to have two fabulous places this time!  Keep in mind these are kiddo only sessions.  If you'd like a family session, email me for info.  If you'd like to schedule, send an email for which date you'd like and we'll get you set up. Happy weekend everyone!

twas the night before school starts....

and I was busily working away.  So many fun things happening, so many exciting things coming up, so much to catch up on with the blog (story of my life, 'eh?! :) )  But first, I may have to address the fact that school starts tomorrow.  The girls have been tucked in for hours now and seem so excited that they can hardly stand it.  Kindergarten and preschool, something new for both of them.  I'm going to be a sobbing mess.  Yes, I'm a sap.  I'm sure I'll be dragging the camera along, but I'll be doing good if I get anything worth while in between the tears that are sure to come.  On the bright side, that means I may be able to get the blog caught up this week.  So many sessions from summer I'd still love to share before the holiday craziness hits full swing.

Speaking of the holidays, the schedule is nearly full (crazy, yes!).  I've got a few dates left for full sessions, October 25th minis are full, October 10th minis have two spots left and September 19th minis have two spots left.  If you'd like to book for one of these or a full session, please email or call asap.  I will be announcing the Lulu Belle mini dates this week.  Keep in mind those are special sessions for the kiddos only, but they're super fun!  

And speaking of Lulu Belle..... guess who's open?!!!!!  That's right, their 2nd location in the Dellagio off of Sand Lake Road in Dr. Phillips.  I was there the other day dropping off some canvases that'll be on display and I was able to get a few photos of their gorgeous new digs.  So fun, so bright, so cheery, I want to live there!  Here's a little peek, although trust me, it's even better in person!

Gosh I love that place!  So happy back to school everyone!!  I'll be back this week with loads of updates ;)

17 or 25....

it's hard to tell somedays.  I photographed her when she was 13, and now this.  She's beautiful.  And getting ready for her senior year.  I realize how quickly time flies.  I'm still going thru the many many images we shot that night.  So many gorgeous shots I can't even stand it.  So just a few for now, but I'll be back with more, oh so many more!  

did you miss me?

We've been back for almost a week now and I dearly miss the lovely mountains and much cooler weather already.  But coming back and going head first right back to work makes my heart happy.  And yes, the big announcement is  ready.... let the holiday scheduling begin!  Ok, ok, so I am actually later than normal in my scheduling announcement, I'll blame it on the crazy summer.  In any case I'm looking forward to a fun filled, crazy paced holiday season and can't wait to see so many families again and meet new ones too!  Sooo, if you'd like to book a session for the fall or holiday season, send me an email, info@amysmithphoto.com.  I'm booking for full sessions and holiday minis.  The Lulu Belle Minis for the fall will be announced in a few weeks.  Keep in mind that if you'd like your photos for the holidays, your session must take place prior to November 1st.  Orders must be in by November 7th.  The schedule fills very quickly and once it's full, we will start forming a waiting list.

Dreaming of the lovely mountains again, a few of the girlies from our trip.  I spied this gorgeous little flower field just down the way from my parents cabin.  My hubby was nice enough to indulge me in a photo op as he knows I often whine  speak of how I rarely photograph them.  It was late in the day and there was a haze from the earlier rain shower over the mountains.  The girls were giggly with excitement to know that they could pick as many flowers as they wanted.  I so wish we had backdrops like this here.  Heavenly.

  

a girl!

well, three of them actually.  After a long run of boys, we have a baby girl :)  At least she'll have lots of boyfriends to choose from someday seeing as how there's that boy baby boom going on.  She was eagerly welcomed  into a home full of girls.  I met these two last fall and instantly fell in love.  Sweet girls!

and their sweet baby sister

and her watchful companion who snuck into my shot :)

boys...

they keep me on my toes!  This little guy is always fun, I love it.  Those big brown eyes, his momma is going to be in trouble one day soon!

I had to snag a few of his little brother too.  Not so long ago, he was this little guy.  Time goes much too fast!

boy boom

Not only is there a baby boom, but it seems to be mostly boys.  I've had quite a fun of them.  That's ok, when they're as cute and sweet as this little guy, I'll take it!  He's the cutie who was hiding in here.  I loved his blonde little hair and those sweet little lips.  Love my newborns.
