Yes!!!!! It's Splurge!!!! Boutique Photography


step_1111_blog_copy.jpg

Yes, the rumors are sooo true. I am starting a new challenge. I have sold my house and moved the family and business to Cedar Rapids! Twelve years ago I jotted down on a napkin a dream of having both a boutique and photography in one space. This spring I had a meeting with a wonderful friend Laura Green of Images by Laura of Cedar Rapids. We wanted change and a new adventure in our studios. Now was the time and I could not be more excited to partner with her. We are located at 588 Boyson Road NE Ste. 122 Cedar Rapids. Our new phone number is 319.365.0020 and websitewww.splurgealittle.com

What a gift


IMG_0438_qqqqqqqqqqcopy.jpg

I don't know if it is the fact that 2nd grade and Kindergarten are coming to an end but my misty meter has been working overtime lately. This morning as we are getting in to the car to go to school the kids were exceptionally nice to each other. I commented on how lovely it was to have peace in the morning, without fighting. Grant talked about becoming an Ark-le-ol-ogist and how there would be traps set for him when he would discover a new treasure. He said he would be trained like Indiana Jones or James Bond and would overcome anything that would get in his way. I love that he is a dreamer and feels he can conquer the obstacles in front of him. Ahhhh. Catherine packed both of their swimming suits and towel for after school fun at Aunt Hollies, I didn't even ask her and she even did it for her brother. I love the fact she thinks of others too. Ahhh. I dropped them off and watched them run about a half a block into the school, I just sat and watched, her long blonde ponytail bouncing and his long arms and legs swinging to get him to the playground faster. They paused looking both ways to cross the parking lot. They came to the door and both went inside, the tears flowing down my cheeks. Out my little boy came, I couldn't see what he was doing so I leaned forward when I noticed four adorable, giggly blondes, entering the school and he was holding the door for them. Ahhh, sniffle. Life brings us the most incredible gifts if we just notice them.

Welcome Kail and Sonnie to the blog....love love love what we captured last night. I had two of the sweetest little people who were amazing to photograph.

IMG_1302aaaaaaaaa_copy.jpg

I love Kail's expression in this one, boots in hand.

IMG_1201qqqqqqqqqqqq_copy.jpg

When we first started they explained to me they really did not like each other, however I think they really do!

IMG_1147qqqqqqqqqqqqqq_copy.jpg

The eyes...get me everytime.

IMG_1341qqqqqqqqqqqq_copy.jpg

Paris...oh la la

When I saw the light captured through Sonnie's hair it melted my heart. The name Sonnie is awesome to begin with, then you add sunshine. The quote on the image says

Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. ~Hans Christian Anderson

Happy Valentines Day


IMG_0406qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqa_copy.jpg

We have just returned back from our fabulous vacation. Four days at Disney and 6 days on the beach. It has been a dream of mine to take the family and just hang at the beach together laughing, playing, relaxing and bonding. I can not express in words how much the time meant to me. The first time they saw the ocean they were so excited, Catie said,"Mommy I am so happy I think I want to cry" Grant could not get enough of the waves and sea shells. What a gift.
