Long Time, No See

Wow. its been awhile since I have blogged! So many great things have been happening that my blog was kind of pushed to the side for awhile! Today is the day I get caught up! Caught up on emails, phone messages, edits, updating the website, facebook and the BLOG. How is everyone? I'm hoping everyone is managing this awful heat we've been having! We've lived in the AC for far too long and the kids have been begging to get out. But as soon as they are out they are ready to come back in and drive me a little more crazy! Business has been GREAT! So many wonderful families, children and NEWBORNS! ahhh I love my newborns. They are so very precious, those first few weeks are so special and I love capturing those memories for families! Sessions are booking up fast so if you want a weekend session talk to me soon. As scary as it is to think holiday sessions, eeek, will be starting soon. I have a few plans on making mini sessions that will be PERFECT for Christmas cards, holiday cards, or if you want pictures done but don't need a full session!

I'm also very proud and humbled to announce my facebook fan page has reached 200 fans! This means another giveaway. Be on the lookout for more details coming soon! This is going to be a great one!!!!!

If you would like to book a session please contact me either at breton@ridenour-photography.com or 240-285-4187. Being a mom of three small children email is always the quickest way to get a response! I try to answer all emails within 24 hours.

Be on the lookout for updated photos on the website, you or someone you know may show up!

I heart faces- Lets hear it for the boys!!

This week's theme is "Lets hear it for the boys". When I heard the theme I knew exactly which picture I was going to enter. This is BIG SHOES TO FILL and was part of daddy's Fathers Day gift. My son is forever playing with daddy's tools and boots and tries to "fix" things just like him! I love the little boy in my life, oh yea and the big one too. ;)

I Heart Faces- From a Distance

I heart faces does weekly photo challenges, this is my first week entering a photo. The challenge is "From a Distance". Yesterday I took the time to actually go out and photograph my own family. All these beautiful family pictures for other people and I had none of my own. ok ok I have TONS of pics but I wanted more "artistic" photographs. We set off to a local spot in town that I adore and I started snapping away. Why is it so much harder to get pictures of your own kids than other peoples? But we ended the day with several good pictures that I love!! Here is my entry:

Rain, Rain Go Away.....

Hoping the rain holds off for this weekend. At least for enough time to grab some super cute pictures from the two sessions I have planned..... sigh..... I guess it is spring! Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

Beautiful Family.

I had the pleasure working with this family on Saturday, Mr B. was sporting his 2 year old attitude and would quickly tell me when it was time to move on by saying "done". Ok I admit it was partially my fault since I had the family meet me at a playground at a park. Of course he would much rather play at the park then get silly pictures taken. Now I know for next time! On to the pictures.....

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Hope all the mothers out there have a wonderful day full of hugs and kisses! I had two great sessions yesterday and was blessed to wake up to three sweet little faces eager to tell me "Happy Mothers Day". After I was awake enough to get up, I was given three handmade cards. M, who is in Kindergarten, made hers all by herself including the darling little message inside. K, who is 3, drew a Kool-Aid maker on the front of his card and a BIG chimpanzee on the inside. A is 1 and of course to small to write her own card but my wonderful hubby helped her create a card that brought tears to my eyes. I'm so blessed. Everyday is a gift and we need to enjoy it to the fullest. Remember all those sweet little moments we all too often take for granted. When I photograph your family those are the moments I hope to capture. Pure genuine smiles, little giggles and even the temper-tantrums, because one day they will be no more and THEN you will WANT to remember those times. :) HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
