Another day designing! I seriously could spend every day playing with the images I take! :o)

I completed another Storybook today! I was fortunate to spend an afternoon with Annie and Pride, her horse back when the weather was actually nice! Her parents have asked me to design this book as a present for her birthday that's coming up! How cool will that be to get a book of you and your horse?!?! I hope she likes it....

Here are a few of my favorite pages!

Enjoy!

So I had to share a couple of my favorite images from this session! These siblings were very fun and so, so cute! We kept having to reschedule our session because of the weather and finally on the fourth try we got a beautiful day!

Haley's session






I really enjoyed photographing Haley this past weekend in downtown Barrington! She is an aspiring clothing designer and actually made some of her own outfits! Even though it was a little chilly and it actually started to rain at the end, we had a great time finding all kinds of neat spots to take her photographs! And we left the ladies at the coffee shop wondering what we were up to with all of our trips in for wardrobe changes!

Thanks Haley!

New Holiday Card Designs






It's not too late to have a portrait done for Holiday cards this year! I had a little fun this week creating some new card designs..... Any design can be customized with images of your children or family! And there are lots of options for verses and text! When's the last time you sent out a photo card? And don't you just love it when your friends send one?

Check out all the designs on the website - www.bellaviestudio.com
Click on 'Portfolio' and then go into the 'Press Printed Cards' gallery.

Happy Friday!

Renee and Jimmy





Thanks Renee and Jimmy for a super fun engagement session! And you can't even tell by the photos how cold it really was! Thanks for being such troopers! Here's to hoping next October is just a wee bit warmer.....

Today was a busy day at the computer! I had lots of fun creating a few greeting cards, artworking images for a wedding album and putting the finishing touches on a Storybook design! I have to share a few pages of the book that I just love - check them out! Enjoy the rest of your Monday and keep smiling even though the weather is gloomy! Fall is such a beautiful time of year!
