My boyfriend, Zach, was kind enough to hold still for a few shots while I played with a new lens. Typically he runs when I point the camera in his direction, so I appreciated his patience. I just had to post a couple of the shots, because I thought they were so cute.

I’ve photographed baby Addison three times now. Once, in her mama’s belly, once at about a month old, and now at five months. It’s so amazing to see how much she has changed through her photos as she continues to grow and blossom. She is such a sweetheart!

I have been busy, busy, busy shooting and editing photos this week. Outside of the business, I have been occupied with my dog Sasha who I took in for her spay this week. She has been in a lot of pain for the past couple of days, but has perked up quite a bit today. I even had to scream “NO!” at her several times this afternoon, which is a good sign that she is getting back to her rotten self.

Almost one week ago while taking our dog out for her morning walk, I heard the most distinct “meow!” coming from the woods at the edge of our property. As I walked closer, low and behold, the most adorable little orange ball of fur came toddling toward me, and I swear she was saying: “mama.”

Do we need another pet? No. Could I even fathom not bringing her in and caring for her? Definitely not. After some consideration, veterinary care, and a bag of kitten chow, we decided that little miss June (a name chosen shortly after her arrival) would be a part of our family. Isn’t she just the cutest?

In photography news, I have been busy with editing photos from a baby/family shoot on Sunday, and I am excited to share a few of those.

The weather has been so beautiful here in Chillicothe this week that I am very tempted to set up some sort of an outdoor office on the back deck, so that I can enjoy the sun shine a little while I work during the day. It’s times like this when I am so thankful to have recently purchased a laptop.

Stay tuned in the next couple of days for lots of images from my latest shoot!

I had the pleasure recently of photographing two sisters, Kailey and Kinsley. Both girls have such a sweet spirit; I feel lucky to have had the chance to capture some of that spirit in their photos. I am really beginning to love child portrait sessions!

A couple of weeks ago I met up with my first cousin, Julie, and her beautiful twins Landry and Gehrig for a portrait session. It was my first time meeting the babies, so I felt lucky to be able to experience their unique little personalities for the first time from behind the lens. I hope to have the opportunity to photograph them in the future as they continue to grow and change; they are truly adorable.

The blog is finally here! I have always intended to create a blog for Catapult Photography, and I am so pleased that I took the time this week to make that happen. Be sure to add the blog to your favorites, and tune in regularly to see lots of beautiful session photos, and even some of my own personal photography. I will also be posting frequent news and updates relating to my portrait and wedding work, and even offering some discounts to clients.

While I have your attention, I also want to mention my Senior Ambassador Program. Selected Ross County seniors who will be graduating in 2009 can receive a free Catapult Photography senior portrait session as well as other perks and discounts. Please click here to learn more, and submit an application. This is a great way for energetic seniors to save money and have fun too!
