My First Published Picture! TZ Zeitung!

January 30, 2009

Wow I am SO excited I just have to share this! My last post here I posted a sneak peak for Jaana and Austin…what I didn’t mention is that Austin plays hockey for EHC München. Well a few days after the session, Austin did an interview with someone from the TZ Zeitung about his ‘playoff baby’ and they wanted to use one of my pictures for the story. So I figured it would be a small picture hidden somewhere in the text, but its HUGE! Check it out in today’s TZ Zeitung! It looks awesome!

Sarah: Congrats! How awesome is that!

David: That is awsome! I wish I would have read this last week... I took a look online and didn't find it. Looking forward to finally shooting with you and the others again at the end of this month!

Robin: Hey!! That's grrreat!! You have to show this to us on the 28th!!

Tamra Hinman: Congrats to you!!!

Jaana & Austin

January 21, 2009

On Monday I had my first session in 2009, and what a great session it was! I had SUCH a good time with Jaana & Austin…they were lots of fun, laid back and willing to try anything I asked! And they were so cute together… I never had to ask for smiles because they just came naturally when they looked at each other.  This session really helped me find a style for maternity that I love…romantic, moody, classy and a touch of sexy. I had a really hard time picking a few shots for the sneak peak, but here are a few of my faves:

The Bahens: The photos are amazing! you did a great job. Jaana, you look awesome, Austin too

Candice and Doug: WOW!!!!! Those photos are stunning! We absolutely love all of them. I am anxious to see the rest!

Laura Brett: What a beautiful family, and lovely mama to be! Great job! ++

Virginia: These are gorgeous! I love the belly-to-belly shot!++

Mandy: I love them all, and I just think its so great that you incorporated texture in there too. Its daring and fresh. Love the connection in the last shot...it just rocks.

jenny mcmasters: WOW! These are beautiful! I love #'s 3-5!!!

Megan Parker: GORGEOUS!!!

jennifer: oh wow these are absolutely beautiful, gorgeous work!

Katherine: These are all beautiful! My favorites are the first two!

Bethwyn: What a STUNNING Mama to be! These are just WOW! And I love your blog too, very funky!
