May the FORBES be with you

I had lots of fun playing with this!

Thanks

Thanks to my sister, Amy, for helping with these sweet girls. She has a magic touch and was able to get 2 month old twins posed and sleeping! You are awesome. Thanks so much for your help!

More of the "M" Family

Love these. They would make a great storyboard or look nice in a collage frame.







Too bad the pictures lose sharpness by the time I upload it to blogger! Frustrating.

Fun Family Shoot

Here's a seak peek for you, "M" family. I'm so glad we were able to work out our schedules and get together. I am just starting on processing but the first one is already one of my favs. Lots more to go through. Hope you enjoy them! I had fun taking them.

Sweet Babies

Still post processing these but wanted to share a couple since I haven't shared in so long.
Hope you like them as much as I do!

Happy Fall

The sky was beautiful when we visited the pumpkin patch.

Sweet Baby Face...

Under Construction

I'm working on setting up a website where my clients can place orders for high quality prints at reasonable prices. My price for the photo session will be changing to $50 for a full 1-2 hour session and mini 30 minute session will be $25. A few days after your session, you will be able to visit the website and choose the photos you would like to be included on your disc and also be able to order high quality prints of the pictures you choose. Another fun feature offered is free emailed photo cards, a great way to share your pictures with family and friends online. This feature would allow those you send notification to the ability to order their own photos directly from the website. If you want your photo session to be private I can make your online photo album password protected. That way you can still view and order your photos online without sharing your photos on the internet. I haven't finished setting everything up just yet, but I wanted to share this information with those who have already had a photo session with me. I will be uploading my previous photo sessions, giving previous clients the opportunity to order prints as well. You can visit my website at picsbyricks.PhotoReflect.com. Be sure to go to the Login section to create an account. Please give me a few weeks to get previous sessions uploaded. I'm excited to be able to offer this and I hope you enjoy these new options.

What's a post without a picture...here's one of baby 'D.'

As The Storm Passed

So excited that I actually captured a lightning strike!

This was my first attempt to capture lightning. I should have used a tripod since I used the bulb setting to keep the shutter open.

Happy Anniversary

Amy and David didn't have wedding photos taken and she has always dreamed of having nice photos taken of her and her husband someday. She told me what she was hoping for and I tried my best to give her everything she wanted.

"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over"





I gave her this tiara as my gift to wear on her wedding day.



She later let our sister Kimberly wear it on her wedding day as her "something borrowed." Maybe when the time comes Andrea can wear it as well.

Amy created a beautiful slideshow with more of the photos to celebrate her 5th anniversary. I really enjoyed how she put it all together with music so I thought I'd share it here for those who haven't seen it on her blog.

Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.”

“It's beauty that captures your attention;

personality which captures your heart.”













Isn't my baby sister just gorgeous!? I can't believe she is already 17. I remember carrying her around on my hip and feeding her pixie sticks before she could even sit up. Shhh, don't tell my mom but my sister loved it.

The "R" Family

Here a few photos of my brother-in-law and his sweet little family. They are so fun!













And one more of my cute brown-eyed nephew.



It was fun guys. I hope you enjoy these.

The Sky is the Limit

Anyone who thinks the sky is the limit, has limited imagination.

And another one...

I love this happy family moment!

Oh My...These Eyes!

These eyes are going to melt the girls hearts!

The "H" Family

Here's a few early peeks for the family from the photo session the other day.





These little guys are all about trains. I just love this photo of them watching the train pass.



Thanks for taking a look!

Edgy Edits

I thought I'd have some fun editing these photos of my handsome hubby with a more edgy, artsy feel. I felt like a kid with a new box of crayons and my imagination was my limit. Loved it.

Blue Skies

I have always wanted to capture sunrays but it never failed, if there was a perfect sky my camera wasn't with me. Yesterday, when I was on my way to scout out a new photography session location, I saw this and pulled into a random driveway and started shooting.

Unfortunately, I forgot to check my settings and my ISO was super high, which caused lots of noise. So I tried to save the picture by softening it. What do you think?

Then, while I was lugging around my daughters as practice photo subjects I looked up and noticed this.


I was SO excited to capture these! Thanks for letting me share.
Well, back to editing. I'll have lots more to share soon!

Another Cutie Patootie

Munching on Goldfish crackers laughing at the crazy lady with the camera.


Thanks for letting me share.

@ the Park

Yesterday I took my youngest to a playdate at the park. I always bring my camera along as entertainment for me. I captured a few photos of these adorable boys.







These photos made me even more excited for my photo session with their family coming up soon.

Photobucket seems to be having issues and not showing the pictures!!
