As I mentioned here, I’ve got so many sessions to share and lots in the works now, so I will leave you with these two stunning images for now, but will be back with more… waaaay more images from this session. Wait until you see her other outfit… to die for!

off to share images from another FUN spring session with an adorable little boy this past weekend… will come back soon!

XO

but first, let me THANK YOU all for a wonderful 2009.

2009 was, by far, my best year in business. I met the most amazing little people, welcomed so many brand new babies, worked with wonderful clients — I had so much fun capturing the memories, the little precious moments that will forever tell their stories. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
It was also a very busy year. Especially right before Christmas. Just to give you an idea how it looked like before the holidays:

it was like that every. single. day. for a few weeks… it sure was a lot of fun (I puffy heart LOVE getting the finished product, packaging it beautifully and delivering it to my clients). Since I’ve never had THAT many goodies at the very same time in my office, I decided to grab a few shots of the oh-so-yummy products that sure made for perfect Christmas presents for lucky parents, grandparents, relatives and friends!

my clients always tell me how excited they get to open a Belle Meinerz Photography package… half of the excitement comes just from the anticipation of the fabulousness that awaits!



ooooh lurve me some linen texture on a metallic print…


Goodies ready for packaging (pictures courtesy of my husband)… yes, I had to have some help with all of the packaging stuff

… and that’s pretty much a 2009 wrap-up!

To all my wonderful 2009 clients, a HUGE

for making 2009 my best year so far! Here’s to a 2010 full of yummy goodies, contagious giggles and fun, fresh portraits!

2010 also comes with a a range of new products and session options… Think modern, fresh, contemporary and truly custom. I’ve been searching hi and lo for exquisite, unique high-end goodies and am pleased to announce that I’ll be offering these new portrait products in 2010. They are undoubtedly the most beautiful photography products I’ve ever laid eyes on! Stay tuned as I’ll be blogging all about it soon!

that’s not all, folks! I’m also working hard on a new website, new blog look and Belle Meinerz Photography is heading in a new direction… I am sure my clients will love the new, liberal approach to fun photography! Can’t wait to share the news!

Last but not least… have you guys been enjoying the Olympics? We went downtown yesterday for some Olympic fun and the kids went crazy! Tons of pictures to share soon!

Love,

It was such a pleasure playing with photographing you, Miss A! Can’t wait to start designing your Christmas Cards!

Love,

Just when I thought it was a busy Summer… and Fall is not over yet!

One shot of each (*gorgeous*) kid/baby I photographed last week:

Looking forward to another busy week ahead — lots of families and newborns to have fun work with, so stay tuned for more eye candy

Love,

The image on the right, below is an instant fave from the session. It came out from the camera just like that, dreamy and gorgeous.

Miss E has such a great personality, always on the go! So loved working with her, she is a ray of sunshine…

…and a little diva in the making!

Thank you M & J for having me over, I had a blast!

Love,

Dad is a huge VW fan, so both mom and dad own a type of the car… and even big brother G already has his own (awesome) car! Pretty cool, eh? I just love my job
(and my clients!)

so much love right there…

I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter family to work with, they made it so easy for me to capture such beautiful moments in their lives. Thank you, E family. You rock!

Love,

I had a blast at her session, so many fantastic images! Stay tuned, a blog post with *a lot* of amazing photos coming soon!

Love,
