New backdrop and super cute subject

Here is one of my new backdrops for 2008 and a super cute subject too, okay it is just my daughter. It is actually quite an accomplishment to get a good picture of her since she is always on the move, maybe I can become a sports photographer, I am certainly getting plenty of practice with a moving subject. Oh about the drop. It is a hotspot drop (notice the lighter area in the middle) and it is called Brown Sugar.

Merry Christmas

To all of my wonderful customers and their families, the Aune Family wishes you a very Merry Christmas. -Bret, Kristin & Kyndal

Sisters

Friday I met up with two sisters to do pics of them for a gift for their Mom and Dad. We got some great outdoor photos even though it is winter. For anyone wanting outdoor pictures you don't have to wait until spring, here is proof!

Here are a few from their session.

Something about the lighting on this one I love.

My fav

Having some fun.

We got a few of them individually too.

Just in time for Christmas

Maurice was due Christmas day, but came a couple of weeks early. I took his newborn pictures on Monday and he was already 2 weeks old. He was such a good little man for the session. Here are a few quick pics.

Christmas Season

I can't believe Christmas is only 2 weeks and 2 days away. These last few months have flown by, I guess that is because of the busy season of a photographer. I am now done with my sessions for the year, except for a baby that is due on Christmas day that may come early. I still have one session to proof, collages to make, and one more order to try to get done by Christmas, so much for taking December off. It really has been great though and I finally got our own family cards done and sent to the lab on Friday. We got our tree up yesterday, but it is not decorated yet. I guess there are a couple of reasons for that, one that I have been so busy with the business and parties and such, the other is that we are terrified of what is to come with a 15 month running around. According to the experienced parents we should just decorated the top half of it! I am finally feeling caught up though so I found some time to blog today. I can't wait to post our Christmas card, but I will wait until everybody that we are mailing them to get their card, I don't want to ruin it.

Alyza

Here are a few from Alyza's 9 month session. I do think this is my favorite age for photos(I probably say that about every age) 9 months old are so smiley though!

More of the Robey's

Mark, Carrie and Taylor came back to see me for more pictures. This time they brought big sis Sydney with them, she was sick when they came for Taylor's pictures so we saved the family portraits for another day. So here are some of the girls and a few family shots. They are such a fun family, it was joy photographing them. Oh, and they are worship leaders and sing Christian Rock. The have a website with samples if you want to hear them Jacob's Road

The Girls


Sydney, isn't she a beautiful young lady. She is the same age as my niece.

Family Fun

Fun Session

I had a wonderful outdoor session this weekend and I know that I am going to have many favorites from it, but for now I wanted to give Mark and Carrie a little sneak peek. So only two for now. I am sure you will see more from this session later.

Holiday sessions

I actually got the proofs done before I got around to posting the previews here. Anyway here is a sampling.

Will

Emily

The twins, remember them from their newborn session.



Okay one of Mom and Dad with the girls

Zoe


Ball? No Jackson, it is an ornament. Good thing they are plastic.

My Beautiful Niece

It has been a very busy, tough weekend. I will be posting from my weekend holiday sessions soon. But for now I wanted to share a picture of my niece. You have seen her brother Billy on my blog before, this is Courtney. Don't you just love her freckles? I had them when I was little, actually I still do, so she gets that from me.



Also, I am trying out a new logo. Let me know what you think.

Brady

3 Month old Brady is my new Baby Planner. You will be seeing more of him at 6, 9, and 12 months. Here are my 2 favorites, both serious ones, but I love the eye contact I am getting with him here. The little Monogrammed outfit that he is wearing was ordered by his Daddy at Pottery Barn.

4 year old and 3 year old times two

Here are a few favorties from an family session that I did about a week and a half ago. I got the proof done before blogging this time, so check out my site to see more.

Catching up

Well I was without my laptop for about a week and a half. So I was trying to do some proofing on my old home pc, which is super slow. I finally got my laptop back(I wanted to hug the DHL delivery guy), and I am catching up with things. I still have two more sessions to proof, but I will be caught up before you know it. I am now catching up on some overdue blogging.

Here is a session that I was able to finish on the home pc, although I haven't shared it yet. This little guy is so cute, and he was super smiley. Check out all of that hair too!

Artist's Favorite

I now have a new logo that you may seen on some of your proofs. It is an "Artist's Favorite" logo. Often when I am proofing I will just love certain images, so I decided to mark them. Maybe it will help when you are deciding what to order by giving you a second opinion. Maybe not, but at least I am having fun doing it.

Here is an example from Savannah's session. I think this is my new favorite from her session. I converted the color to what is called "midnight sepia",which I think really works here.

More Holiday Portrait Samples

I got a few willing subjects to photograph on my Holiday Set, at least as willing as a 1 year old will be. So here are some samples. This is Emma and Lola, Kyndal's little friends. The little pettiskirts that Lola is wearing in the last pictures are part of my studio props, so if you want to use them in your portraits please let me know. I have one each of red, white, pink, and black. They will fit 1-3 year olds.

Holiday Portraits

I got a chance to take a few sample photos on the holiday set. I will have a few more samples later. There are still time slots available, give me a call or email me to book your session. I am featuring these samples on one of my holiday card designs.

Savannah

I got to see another one of "my" babies again. I took Savannah's 18 month portraits. I have been photographing her since she was a couple of weeks old. I just love her new curls.
