I'm loving these new products I just got in the mail (more to blog later!) - here is the first product, my new guest sign-in books....I'm even making one for myself for my own wedding:) Here is a close up of the book's pages - it has nice sturdy, thick pages for wedding guests to sign on:
All of the pages lay flat, so album spreads can stretch across from one page to the next:
Each book has a custom cover using a picture from your engagement session, and has your name and wedding date printed on as well:
The album spreads are designed using lots of white space, which leaves a lot of room for guests to sign on your wedding day:)
Brides, just let me know if you want to order one for your wedding day! These sign-in books can be added to any package:)
I love these. I offer them to my clients and am always so excited to receive one back from the printer. They’re awesome!

wow, this looks great Tina. I wish I had one of your guestbooks at my wedding! AND, I must say you chose super good looking people as models for this sample:)

These are so fun! I’ve never seen anything like that until you showed it to me!
I can't believe Lee is going to be one year old in a few short days! It seems like I JUST was shooting his , and definitely doesn't seem long ago that I shot his . It's so fun to see one of my close friends as a mom - I keep telling that I hope Jay and I are as laid back as parents as they are when we have kids one day.....Lee is just the happiest little baby because of it! Here are a few shots of Lee, as he's about to turn 1!
Mary had to run inside to grab something, and this was Lee's expression as she walked back out - super cute:)
Those eyes. Those little teeth. Love it!
Lee can't walk yet, but John taught him how to throw his leg over all of his John Deere toys to ride them:)
Hanging out in Dad's chair:)
Trying out cake for the first time.....he was only interested in the icing at first:
Then he dug right in:)
Getting all the crumbs:)
I think it's pretty obvious Lee is going to take after John - he LOVES sitting on tractors:)
So intense!
Then we found a cornfield to play in - I think I want to do more shoots in cornfields:)
A little tired after our shoot:)
Note: If you want babies to crawl right to you during your shoot, wear dangly necklaces - Lee loved eating my necklace:) PS - I know I look like Rachel from Friends here holding Lee (Ross: Rach, hold the baby like you'd hold a football. Rachel: This IS how I'd hold a football!), but I swear I know how to hold a baby normally:) Thanks to Mary for snapping this one:)
Thanks Mary, I can't wait to keep documenting Lee as he grows:) I can't believe it's been one whole year already!
O.M.G. I honestly don’t think I can comment, because there’s just wayyyyy too much to say! Tina, once again, awesome job. Mary, he’s absolutely amazing – enough said!

Great job… again. I don’t think I can pick a favorite. The tractor, the crumbs, the cornfield – what an awesome session!
Kylene -June 27, 2010 - 6:17 pm
Can’t believe he will almost be a year! The cornfield shots are awesome Great idea!

Wow Tina, these are all great pictures of Lee! It doesn’t seem like that long ago that you did his newborn pictures. I love the expression on Lee’s face through the wheel of the tractor; so intense and serious. They are all wonderful and Mary looks beautiful, as usual!
Sarah M. -June 25, 2010 - 3:06 pm
I LOVE his super blonde hair! The second one is my favorite!! Great job Tina, as always! Mary I am loving your hair cut!!
Katie -June 25, 2010 - 2:12 pm
What a cutie! Great job Mary and John! Hopefully I will get to see him in person finally in October!
Allison -June 25, 2010 - 1:02 pm
he seems to pose for some of the shots!!! love the black & white one of him and his beautiful momma
Sarah -June 25, 2010 - 12:50 pm
I’m pretty much thinking exactly like Jaime! TOO cute. Love him
-June 25, 2010 - 10:04 am
I love them all….but especially how serious and intent he looks on steering that tractor! Great pictures of my favorite nephew
Jaime -June 25, 2010 - 9:06 am
Oh my goodness – SO freaking adorable! Amazing pictures Tina!
Mary -June 25, 2010 - 8:59 am
I can’t pick a favorite I love them all! He clearly loves you (and your necklace) too! We had so much fun at our shoot, the ones on the tractor turned out great…I can’t wait to show John. The cornfield was the perfect setting to capture his curious personality Thank you so so so much for sharing your gift with us!

Love these, they are so fun! Especially that one you shot of his face framed with the steering wheel!
Ahhh, I just loved this session - hot couple, gorgeous light, and an amazing location:) Sarah & Simon opted to do their engagement session where they first met: at their friend's house. This house was another one where I felt like I was on vacation! I think I must have screamed 10 times "man, I REALLY want to move here!" They live in a house right on lake with their own little dock....I could have shot there all day long:) But I love that Sarah & Simon picked a location that meant something to the two of them as a couple - even if Sarah DID trip and fall down the stairs as they were about to be introduced for the first time:) TOTALLY sounds like something that would happen to me!
On to the pictures!
Simon is an AWESOME landscaper - he did all of their landscaping (that patio/fireplace and everything!), and it was even featured in a magazine....I was impressed:) I think I won brownie points because I knew that the plant in the bottom of the picture was a hosta:)
I LOVE these! They took a canoe ride the first night they met, so they hopped in for a few pictures:)
Sarah, I love your smile:)
Yummy light!
See what I mean? HOT couple!
Like I said, this house was amazing, so I love that they totally trusted me when I asked them to walk behind a shed for a few:)
This is the basement of the house. I don't know about you, but my living room doesn't even look this nice...
Thanks Sarah & Simon! I had so much fun with you two....can't wait for the winter wedding:)
Hi Tina! It’s been way too long since I’ve caught up on your blog, so I know I”m way late in commenting, but I LOVE this shoot! Gorgeous light, couple and locations! You’re so talented!

Everything about these photos is amazing, but that yellow canoe… wow!
Mandy -June 25, 2010 - 11:31 am
Beautiful pictures Sarah & Simon! Love the ones in the canoe! You both look gorgeous!
Joan -June 23, 2010 - 8:22 pm
Great pictures Tina! They are a good looking couple and the setting is gorgeous! You’re right, their basement looks alot better than my living room! I love the canoe pictures.
Sarah M -June 23, 2010 - 6:47 pm
Tina-we are so thrilled with the pictures! You did such an amazing job even with all of Simon’s improv LOL. My dad said the pictures made him cry!! Cannot wait to see what you have up your sleeve for our wedding! Thank you for helping make this time so special for us!!%
Sarah -June 23, 2010 - 6:20 pm
Amazing again. I feel like I have the same comment for every post! Looking good Simon and Sarah! And I love them in the canoe
Mary -June 23, 2010 - 10:06 am
Sarah looks amazing (totally covet that shirt) and Simon has his signature smirk going! Beautiful location for sure. Love the one of him hugging her <3
-June 23, 2010 - 8:57 am
Wow..that location IS amazing! I love that canoe (and it’s yellow- myfavorite!) I think my favorite poses are on the porch. So relaxed
Jaime -June 23, 2010 - 8:49 am
These pictures are gorgeous, Tina! And the couple looks amazing together
Great idea!
