Twins boys

I've been blessed with some wonderful friends! Earlier today a friend of mine brought her 6 month old twin boys over and we had some fun with the camera! Take a look at these little darlings, they are just adorable!

Spring has sprung!

I was so excited the other day when I saw tiny little spurts of green in my garden. Spring is coming! I can hardly wait for the fresh smell of spring in the air, it's definitly one of the benefits of living in the midwest and experiencing the changing seasons. With the launch of my new site, and some dedication to promoting my business on the web, I have booked four weddings for 2010, and the leads are still coming in! This is so amazing and far exceeds my goals for 2010, 2011 is going to be even better, I can feel it! I have some availability for June and August yet, but July and May are booking up quick! I will be at the Bridal Expo in Wheeling, IL on May 15th promoting my business and hopefully making some new connections with brides for 2011. Visit http://www.bridalexpochicago.com/ for more details! Over the past week-end, I was lucky to have a newly engaged couple in my home studio for some cute engagement photos. I'll share a few of the favorites here.

New Website

Alright, I've got a new website up and running with the help of my friend Laura! Go check it out, it's beautiful!!
In the meantime, here are some recent shots from a photo shoot I did over the week-end of a cutie-pie! He is a very serious 18month old boy, but once you get him going, he's a ham!

New Products!

I'm super excited to introduce some wonderful new products....mainly for those newlyweds out there, but they can also come in handy for young parents too!!
The popular flush mount albums!! They are absolutely beautiful, and you must see them in person! They come in all sizes and page quantities!
Call me to set up a consultation and to view a couple sample albums!!

Looking forward

Things are going wonderful!! I have just reserved my space at the Bridal Expo on May 16th, 2010 in Wheeling, IL. This is going to be fantastic!! Over 350 registered brides perusing through the Expo in search of a vendor that will match their needs and budget! I can hardly wait to get in there and start booking some weddings!!!!! My husband has been very supportive of my new direction in the photography business. It's time to re-vamp my website, purchase some new equipment, accessories and build a beautiful portfolio! Tell all your friends!!!!

On-line Gallery

I have added a great new feature to my business. An online gallery for customers to quickly view and place orders from their photo shoots! I'm really excited about this and hope that my customers will be too!! www.szphotography.lifepics.com
