BRRRRR! Wow, we have had our share of snow. I know other parts of the country has also. I can't wait for spring now. Well, even though several appointments had to be postponed due to either snow or sickness - things have been crazy around here! Mother's Day portraits are in full swing and we are seeing more and more new babies each month!

Our new "Organic" baby plan is catching on and the moms love the look. I've posted a couple from one session below. I look foward to the nice weather when we can go outside for portraits!

I just got back from our conference for the Professional Photographers of Pa. The meeting originally was for earlier in February but got snowed out. Go figure. The speakers were good and I learned quite a bit as I always do. And of course I bought a couple new backgrounds from my friend who is always more than happy to show me what's new with her creations. It's great because no one else will have these backgrounds. I added several colors of fabric for draping as a background or an accent and I added two muslin backgrounds in cool colors. I can't wait to use them. I figure I'm safe until mid April when we have our State convention...

Back in January I travelled to our national convention and made some serious purchases. Of course all had to be special ordered so they are just now coming in. The poor UPS guy. New lighting equipment and a new toybox type prop that has a weathered finish to it - that will be used for organic style newborn and baby sessions and who know what all else!

Going to meetings such as the Prof Photographers of Pa. and going to classes like I went to in January and being involved with my photographer friends on forums I belong to continue to be such an inspiration and I come away with so many ideas.

So what else can I tell you - well, how about when you come in we are offering coffee and cold softdrinks for our clients (and kids too). I want our clients to feel at home while they are here!
