Thank you so much for stopping by my little place on the web! This is where I will post sneak peeks of new sessions, new product offerings and promotions, and share a little bit about my world.
I am a natural light, on-location custom portrait photographer {ok, that's a mouthful}. It fills me up so much {you know, that natural giddy high} to witness the connection between families or to glimpse through a child's eyes into their heart. Children are just so pure. I must confess.....I am SO BLESSED to be able to do what I love while still being at home with my family. Thank you to my very supportive husband {seriously, you have no idea how much he does}!
All detailed information is provided on my website {link is above}. You can also subscribe to this blog by scrolling down to the bottom {where you can sign-up and not miss any promotions}. Leave me a comment or two below a post ~ they make me smile {really big}!
I truly believe the day she was born the sun floated down and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Sigh…loveliness.
September 2, 2010 - 6:57 am - God has blessed you with a talent of seeing beyond what most of us can see. I love photos that make my heart smile.
September 2, 2010 - 6:44 am - These are so beautiful, Misty! Love them all!
September 1, 2010 - 9:38 pm - I thought the integrity in her heart was the true beauty.
Just say it.. You just thought it ~ so now say it out loud: Awwww…
Are they both not completely charming?
August 31, 2010 - 8:12 am - These are some terrific dog pictures! Great portraits and location.
August 31, 2010 - 6:18 am - Awwww!
August 31, 2010 - 4:34 am - AWESOME- all I can say! These made me smile :0)
Yes, I know, I’ve been absent from here. With sessions, summer, and preparing for school…just so much all at once. I have never been a mom of a high schooler before, and this is all new territory for me. Do you know how many checks I wrote during our freshman orientation/registration day? Oh my!! Then my youngest will start middle school Monday…farewell to elementary and all those sweet filled days! I don’t know about other moms, but I am missing Kindergarten and Mrs. Innes right about now…
Here’s the first of many sneak peeks…Can you say “Hello Gorgeous?” Her personality really is all that you see ~ she’s just pure sweetness with a sprinkle of spunk!
I have so many thoughts running around in my head of what I could say about this family. I crack myself up right now about how emotional I am about this. I’ve already stated earlier that they are A.MA.ZING. Why though am I so affected?
I’ve had the privilege of photographing this family since the oldest was born. I think this is our 5th or 6th time. He is now 13. Every time I am in awe of how the love and laughter just flows out; how they dance with such ease as a family. They move as one unit; there’s an unspoken trust. A genuineness. Truth.
I love what I get to do; what I am so privy to witness. Thank you, as always.
August 29, 2010 - 7:23 pm - Love these pictures Misty. My family is beautiful but you bring out the best in them!
August 17, 2010 - 9:35 am - This is a great series of images. The light is fabulous well done! Richard
August 10, 2010 - 11:48 pm - Wow those are so great of David and Carrie! I love them. We have that same shot with the kids heads on top of each other. Great job Misty. But then again you always do an awesome job! Wish you could take our pic's. Coming to idaho anytime soon?
August 10, 2010 - 6:57 am - The best capture of beauty.
August 10, 2010 - 6:55 am - The best of your work.
I’m in the middle of processing this a.ma.zing family and these two images stopped me.
This was real. Unposed; in the moment. A true daddy relationship with his daughter. Secure.
August 7, 2010 - 10:18 pm - mmmm...just beautiful!
August 7, 2010 - 9:45 pm - This makes my heart smile! What beautiful images!!
More to come of this amazing family…
August 13, 2010 - 8:17 pm - I reeeeally love the pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Misty you have a real talent and of course you had some great material to work with , but then I am prejudice. (Carrie's Mom) GREAT WORK!
August 7, 2010 - 7:50 am - How fun! I love this shot!
I have drooled over this for a year now, and was finally able to get it! There were many colors to choose from, but I fell in love the richness of Aubergine {and it looks great in my bedroom}!
So who wants to sit and lounge on it? I will be doing one afternoon of mini-sessions for Christmas at a local park in October. This is especially PERFECT for those who want to update their family picture, but don’t need a full session or for those just wanting to send out a super fun Christmas card! I will let you know the exact date soon…
{Oh, and Yorkie will not be coming ~ she’s very temperamental!}
August 2, 2010 - 10:30 am - droooooooool...
July 30, 2010 - 10:21 pm - I think Gabby would look spectacular on this! But.....It is my favorite color!!
July 30, 2010 - 11:05 am - It is gorgeous...love the color!
July 30, 2010 - 10:29 am - OHHHHH...my girls would look so cute on the sofa!
Color. Think layers, patterns, textures, hats, and accessories. I have always been a clean lines gal, but have changed over this year. Color breathes life…don’t be afraid to mix it up!
August 2, 2010 - 10:32 am - super cute outfits Misty.
July 27, 2010 - 2:05 pm - Any XL sizes??? Gorgeous colors and styles.
Christmas is coming, and honestly, I’ve no desire to think about the 25th right now. Gift giving, parties, decorating? Oh my!
However, I am looking over my calender…I have 7 openings left for the rest of the year. I can’t believe it ~ I am so blessed by all my wonderful clients who keep coming back!
If you are planning on sending out Christmas cards or giving gift prints, now is the time to book for September and October. August is now full. I always feel bad when I get calls and I have to tell them I can’t because there is no space left. {Of course, you could guilt me into if you call on the right day too!!}
So email me soon to pick your date. Hope you are finding ways to stay cool!
My sweet friends!
Remember this POST from my mamapreneur series? She was just featured in the OC Register for her Abundant Harvest Organics business!! Go HERE for online article.
I have to say the more I read, the more I am convinced about the benefits of pure food.
Congrats Tammy!!
Ok, that’s not entirely true. This is just what I started working on when there was some down time. I had plenty of time in the water, even when it rained! Those pictures will have to be for another day as they are still in the camera…
These are my sweet friends who just celebrated 25 years with a vow renewal ceremony.
Yes, 25 years,
4 kids,
and 2 fluffy dogs later!
Here is just a sample of the book that will be coming to you. Thank you for your patience {wink}!
This is a 2-page spread, while below is 1 page.
August 3, 2010 - 9:15 pm - congratulations renee!! you haven't changed since jr. high!
July 9, 2010 - 8:33 am - so this is what you were doing while i did the dishes on vacation? HaHa. Gorgeous pictures as usual.
July 9, 2010 - 6:13 am - How very beautiful, Misty!
July 8, 2010 - 10:09 pm - Love it! Can't wait to see it!
July 8, 2010 - 3:56 pm - oh Misty, the book will be just beautiful! Love the image of the lights.
I will be not just out-of-the-office, but out of the COUNTRY! I will be back in 10 days from the Cayman Islands with my extended family {thanks mom!}
I promised I would not take any work with me, but I still have an album to put together. So, I promised my hubby I would only work during our flight time. I haven’t figured out if I can make it work with my laptop and Wacom tablet in such a tiny space!!
Here’s a new product I’m starting to offer: Storybook Albums!
This one was done for a recent graduating senior. Real pictures, not thin paper that can tear. Completely customizable!
The pages lay flat!
Sturdy spine to hold it all together!
July 21, 2010 - 10:21 pm - Nice album. Great work.
