Well, the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working on this site and changing it from my blog to my website/blog and you may have already noticed a few change and there are still a few more ahead (please be patient!)…but for now, this is my website. A little over a year ago I had started planning a new/updated website and what I had envisioned didn’t play out, after all the work and time, and at the last minute, when I was disappointed, frustrated and confused, a new door opened and this came about! I will say that it didn’t take very long for me to “welcome” this site changing and I’m pleased with how it’s come along…and you know, sometimes, when one door closes, another door opens, with new possibilities! This is just what happened with this and I really am thankful and feeling (HUGE) relief for the end result…because it could be that I would still be trying to figure out the next step. So, both my former website www.TerriBeloitPhotography and http://terribeloit.com/photography will link to this same site…I wouldn’t want to “lose” anyone along the way…so if you are confused by the site, don’t be, you’ve found yourself in the right place. Feel free to look around and check out the new features and as I said, there are still a few new things to come, it just might take a bit before I get it all complete…and as with anything, it’s all a learning curve and truly…that’s a good thing because the more we learn, the more our brains are working…keeping them “young at heart!”
Last weekend I had a wonderful (split) session with a cute one year old and her family…I’m hopeful that within a couple of days I will get a blog posted from that session…and to be honest, it’s going to be hard, there are some really cute photos of this little one…so keep your eyes peeled for the posting near the end of the week.
Mild weather is still hanging around the Pacific Northwest and I must say, I will NOT complain about some rain or even some colder temperatures. With friends scattered across the country, I know that many have endured a really tough winter and certainly am thankful for the more “typical” winter we’ve had this year, despite the talk of a harsher winter…guess it just moved a bit farther East than they anticipated!! Colder temperatures are heading our way over the weekend…that’s okay, I’ll take it and just add another layer of clothes, if necessary…because it beats being snowed in for a few days or flooded out with heavy rains…and to be honest, we just need to “roll with the punches” and our punches have been pretty mild compared the punches others have had in the “rink!”
It’s back to work for me…but I hope this finds you all doing well and hanging in there as we have a little over a month until spring officially arrives!!
During a visit to my brother and his family a week ago, I was able to spend some time with my beautiful niece, Sydney, and some of her lovely friends for a “girlfriends” session. We met up and headed downtown on this glorious winter afternoon. It was close to 50 degrees and the skies were mostly clear and delightful…talk about a perfect time to photograph some of the nicest girls…it really couldn’t have been any better!
It was my pleasure and privilege to see and photograph Brylee last weekend! I first photographed her just about a year ago…when she was only 8 days old…it’s hard to believe she’s a year now and has grown so much! A little peanut at birth, she is now a very happy, sweet and beautiful baby…and has the best disposition! She was smiling when they walked in the door and she was still smiling when they left…it doesn’t get much better than that!! 🙂 When I first met Brylee and her parents last year, I instantly knew that this was a special family and so kind and thoughtful…and as I’ve watched Brylee through the sessions this past year, it is obvious that this is one GREAT family and they all LOVE their life. What a blessing they are to one another…and I’m thankful to have met and gotten to know them…and look forward to watching them all grow in the years ahead, as Brylee grows as well! Now, on to some photos of this cutie!
This chair is in it’s third generation and what is more special than something to carry on through the years…and believe me, it’s well made and is really nice…but I’ll tell you, Brylee can really ROCK this…she is definitely not one to be still for long!
Talk about beautiful eyes, the blue and sparkle just seemed to shine through…during the entire session…and in case dad doesn’t know it, he’s going to have his hands full when she gets to be a teenager…I can tell she will be a true beauty…inside and out, like her mother!
cupCake smash…this little, dainty girl, was not so dainty with the cupcake and boy, did she ever have a good time making a big mess and it was SO much fun to watch…she definitely gets the award for the little one whose done the best job of playing/destroying/eating her cupcake…it was GREAT!!!!!!!
