Valarie with an "A"

I met Amber this afternoon down by the train station. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful, but chilly, day. As we started walking into the shade, it felt like the temperature dropped 10 degrees. Amber was brave though. We did lots of shots outside, with her wearing short sleeves. She’d put on her coat between shots and wear a hoodie in some of them, but I know she was still cold. We had a pretty good time walking around the new riverfront area, and then we headed to her church’s gym to set up the mini studio. She loved my new backdrop, and so did I! Ok, enough rambling, on to the sneak peek!

Fun times at Ritter Park. I did baby Blair’s newborn pics about 4 months ago and now it was time for an updated family pic, since there had been none since any children have joined the family :) Jules was all about running and playing at the park. Not so much for posing (except in 5 second spurts) The leaves did catch his attention more than anything else I think. And of course, swinging from mommy and daddy. So, on to the pics.

Baby C’s mom and I go way back, like kindergarten way back. We’ve been buds forever and now she’s got a little one that I got to take pictures of. We had a good time, talked a lot, and Baby C was content as long as she had the pacifier. We got it away from her a bunch of times, and she slept for a little while too. Here’s the Sneak Peek of my favorite 3 shots!

I’ve not blogged in a long time. Bad Valarie! So here I am. My husband’s work schedule has changed a couple times, so now my work days are Wednesdays. We’ve gone several places over the past couple months and occasionally run out of things to photograph, then get new ideas again. Some of my favorites from the past couple weeks.

I knew Lori when she was a baby, but haven’t seen her since she was probably 3 or 4. She didn’t remember me at all, but that didn’t stop us from having fun walking around Louisa and Yatesville Lake. The whole family came along, and her mom told me that her younger sister is already planning her senior pictures, even though she’s still got 2 years to go. My favorites are here, and the rest are on facebook and flickr.
