Storyboards are my favorite product that clients order. These are my favorite because they are super customizable and are beautifully stunning when displayed on a wall.

This weeks featured size is a 16×24 storyboard.  These 16×24′s are very popular for all types of sessions.

16×24 storyboards are one of our most popular sizes by far! The tricky part my clients face is picking the right amount of images and the orientation because it really matters!  This week tip I focus on 3 to 4 image storyboard because thats the average number picked.  I’ve done up to nine images on one board though!  These are great visual layouts to help pick images because whether its a canvas or in an Organic Bloom frame the goal is to make the images look balanced.

Last week ended on the sweetest note with gorgeous 6 month old B and family visiting our studio.  I last got to photograph her back in the fall as a newborn, and was so excited to see the beautiful baby she’s grown into!  She was a natural in front of the camera and the session flew by.  We started with an adorable tea party with her favorite teddies, and then decided B might want a turn on the swing too!  These swing pictures are a little bit of photoshop magic because baby is always safely supported by plenty of helping hands at the studio.  B was a perfect little breath of spring!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

I loved this little birthday girl and her gorgeous family!  S was so full of personality.  She loved crawling around the studio and was so proud of her new standing skills.  Mom and dad were up for anything and chatting with them made our shoot fly by.  We started our session with some sweet family portraits that I know they will love having with baby S while she’s still their little baby.  Then S stole the show!  From our simple classics in all white to our colorful cakesmash, this is going to be one huge gallery.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Gorgeous baby A came to visit the studio this week and her session was one of my favorite 3 month old sessions to date!  She was A: Gorgeous, B: So happy, and C: Incredibly adored by her parents.  We focused the session on capturing their family bond and of course had to snap a few of just A herself.  As you can see, she’s the steals the show!

This little boy was a dream to photograph.  He went from being kind-of sleepy to SUPER sleepy and never woke up once!  He let us pose away and the images of him on our blue chair are some of my absolute favorite.  Mom loved the our chair shots on the antique pink chair but I was thinking it might look too “girly”.  So she said “what about that chair in your front hall?”  It was perfect!  Thanks for the inspiration mom.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

I had such a good time photographing this family last week.  Baby K’s session was perfect from beginning to end.  She was such a gorgeous, joyful little girl.  She was the perfect cake smasher as well.  She didn’t really eat the cake.  She just played with it and smiled away for the camera!  Enjoy your preview!

I was so excited to hear the good news that these twins were born.  I had the pleasure of meeting mom and dad for a maternity session a few months back and I’ve been counting the days ever since!  E and O did not disappoint.  They were so adorable and I loved capturing their bond with each other.  We also were able to take our first twin hanging shot (with a whole lot of takes!).  Great seeing you again mom and dad, enjoy your preview!

Do I have the most adorable clients or what?!  I knew the second H showed up to our studio and gave me a giant smile through those big blue eyes that we were in for some fun.  H was so easy going that we were able to try out lots of fun sets.  Usually the larger flower bands aren’t my favorite to use, but I think in sets like these they look so stinkin cute and the two mom picked were some of my favorite!  No matter what we put H in, those big blue eyes always stole the show anyways.  I can’t wait to show mom and dad the rest of these!

Newborn baby M was so perfectly gorgeous.  She had the most beautiful skin and tiny pink lips.  Mom and dad were absolutely in love with her and it was such a joy to witness.  With 5 previews on their way today, I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking!  Enjoy your preview!
