I Heart Faces - Hilarious Outtakes - My First Submission

One of my personal goals this year is to get more involved with photography contests. I came across this great website for all levels of photogs called I Heart Faces, check them out at http://iheartfaces.blogspot.com/

They have a weekly contest so I thought I would give it a try. This weeks theme is Hilarious Outtakes. Of course, I have had a few which is fun for my first submission...Enjoy and Happy Monday!

Playing in the water gets a little splashy...

Photography by Christine Business Decision - January 2010

This email went to my clients and friends on January 6, 2010:

I am so thankful for the success that I have achieved over the last 3 years with Photography by Christine in London and the US! It has grown and provided me with many opportunities I never imagined would happen in such a short time. This is why after much thought and consideration, I have made a very difficult business decision. As of January 31, 2010, Photography by Christine will no longer be available for photography services. I am closing my business to spend more time with my family and also look forward to spending more time friends, volunteering in the community, and more.


Thanks again for your past support! Best wishes for a fabulous 2010!

Happy New Year~Christine

Photography by Christine is taking a holiday break!

The offices and studio of Photography by Christine will be closed from December 19th - January 3rd!

Thanks to all my clients for a great year! Happy Holidays! See you next year!

Last Session of the Year! | On Location Portrait Sessions Minneapolis

This family scheduled my last session of the year with me at the new natural light studio. I was thrilled to see them again, their little girl is just a doll and so much fun to photograph! I was lucky that this is the 2nd time I have gotten the chance, she is stunning! Enjoy ~

Session in a Snowstorm | Natural Light Minneapolis Session

I was thrilled that having a natural light studio available meant not having to reschedule a session with these kids last week! A little snow wasn't stopping these gorgeous children (or their mom)! We had lots of fun, this little guy is a mover and a shaker! He is so fast and isn't even walking yet! Watch out mom! Enjoy~

My Little Model | Natural Light Studio Sessions

My daughter wanted to see my studio and get her portrait taken like all the other children....jealous? So the morning before we left to go out of town for Thanksgiving I tried to squeeze a session with her in at my natural light studio...her is a sneak peek from her latest session which will be used for our family holiday cards...Enjoy~

Beautiful New Babe | On Location Newborn Photography

I love photographing new babies! This was no exception, what a gorgeous little girl! She was on a growth spurt the day of her session, her parents couldn't believe how much milk she was drinking while I was there....and then the deep sleep with a full tummy...Enjoy~

Booked until February 2010!

Photography by Christine is currently booking sessions February 1 and later, unless you have a newborn on the way and have already been "penciled" in on my calendar, can't wait for those babies to arrive! Thanks for your support and interest! Christine

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, including my clients and business! Thanks for your continued support, referrals to others, and kind words about my work! I love to hear how much you love your portraits, how you open your package and get your portraits on the wall the same day (or even within the first hour after they arrive!) and how you passed my card along to your neighbor, friend, aquaintance. You guys rock!

I wish you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! Safe travels to you and your family this weekend! Have a blessed holiday! Christine

An Active Outdoor Couple | Blaine On Location Photography

This couple does it all--hike, bike, ski, snowshoe, the list goes on...and their dog Calli is as active as they are! We had a fun session this past weekend at their local stomping grounds on what is probably our last gorgeous November weekend! Enjoy~
