Amazing Story...




Here is one of my clients that came to me last year. She is the sweetest little thing & I love her to pieces. This year she came to me on a Saturday & when I asked about coming to see Santa, the answer was no. Once I was talking to her mother, we found out that the last tie she sat on Santa's lap was when she was 12 months old. I invited her to come over & help make cookies & watch Santa. Before the end of the day, she went onto his lap & was quite happy. I think Santa did a great job with her & giving her a few hours with Santa helped her get over her fears. I was so proud of her, I gave her lots of hugs when she was done. Two thumbs up, girlfriend! Great job!!!

Family Ties...

This was my second session with these kids & they are adorable!!! I am working on your portraits now, so I will have them available for you to view soon!!! Thanks for the opportunity!!

A Warm November Day...











We made plans for outdoor photos, but due to the rain we were supposed to get, we went for indoor photos. It turn out to not rain & be really warm, so went went out for a few. I have so many great photos, my client will have to come & help me weed through some to find her favorites.

Old Fashion Christmas...


For all of you that miss the days of yesteryear, this will bring you right back to the 50's. When Christmas was more about enjoying your family & watching your kids string popcorn & cranberries. When it wasn't how much was under the tree, but that there was 1 thing under there with your name on it. Mr. & Mrs. Claus are available for Christmas Parties, Fire Houses, Day Care Centers, Tree Lighting's, etc. Find them at www.deckerthehalls.net. Book them today. P.S. To all of my clients, Santa is coming back one more time. Sunday Nov. 23rd and there are a few mini sessions available. To all of the mom's & dad's that brought there kids on the 16th, I am working on them now & will put them up as soon as possible on my viewing site. You will get an email with the link. Thank you to everyone that came, we were busy & I am sure I didn't get to talk to you enough. Thanks for sharing our day!!!

Ruff, Ruff...




For all of you that see me as only a family portrait photography, think again. I have been taking pet portraits for quite awhile & here are 2 of my latest. These dogs live in the same home and came on different days. Lucky for me. Of course their human mommy help me a ton. Thanks Mommy!! Plus if you look back at my other post you will see her third dog. We are waiting to hear the good news. Cali will be having puppies any day & we are all excited about that!!!! I can't wait to take pictures of 7 to 9 black lab puppies!!!! Guinness loved my camera & we got his pictures within a 1/2 hour. All of his pictures are beautiful. Maddie & Cali made me earn my keep, but they are all wonderful dogs. I love the large picture of Maddie, it makes me smile every time I look at it.!!!

Dance like nobody's watching


I have wanted to play with Jillian's dance photos but didn't have the time. Plus I was waiting to get some new things to use on them. I have some new textures & blends that make photos really pop off the page. I just started working on a book for a beautiful women & forgot how much fun it is to play. Seniors, if you like all of your photos & can't get mom to buy all of them, books are perfect. They start at 20 pages & look better then your yearbook. Plus you are the star! You can pick quotes, your favorite photos & I will design them just for you. If you are interested, call me.
