I just have to share this...

So, I can get adorable pictures of other people's kids, but why not my own? Well, because it's "mom" asking you to do something I guess!! :)

We were out and about the other day and I thought to myself "just let me try." Don't know what I was thinking! One or both always seem to be looking the other way, crying, wiggling or all of the above. I still have yet to get a picture of them together that is frame worthy. Someday it will happen, just not for me most likely. :)

So hope you enjoy some outtakes at my kiddos expense...I sure did.

last chance for promo!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that January is almost over and with that my current promo is also over.

The current promo is a mini session which includes the following: 1 hour shoot time, location of your choice (within 25 miles of my home), up to 5 people (addition charge after 5) and approx 20 fully edited images on a CD for you to print as you wish. All this for only $85.

Sessions do need to be scheduled for sometime in February.

My prices will be returning to full price at the end of the month and I will not be having another promo until the Spring. So spread the word to your friends if they have been putting their pictures on hold...time is running out!! :)

Thanks again everyone and have a great weekend!! Enjoy the weather...I will...hee hee!!

*If you would like me to notify you with the Spring promo info as it gets closer than just shoot me an e-mail titled "spring promo." Spaces will be limited.

SO much fun

...that I almost forgot it was work that I was supposed to be doing!

I'll say it again "I love my job!" This session just felt like a fun day out with the family. I say family because I just might adopt this one I think! :) This was a blast and those boys sure kept me on my toes. You have your hands full mom, that's for sure.

I loved so many pictures that it was hard for me to pick just a few to post, but I managed somehow. Here is a little peek for the family and many more are coming your way very soon.

Thanks again for a great afternoon...it was a pleasure!








And this one's for you ladies!

history is made

Today history was made as the Country watches our 44th President take office. At this point it really doesn't matter who we voted for, just that we support our new President and pray that he leads our Country in the right direction.

Here's to history in the making...

the weekend

Happy weekend everyone...enjoy yourself!!!

meet charming Christopher

...and his mom and dad too of course.

You never know what the day might hold when you are shooting a 2 1/2 year old, but this day held nothing except fun. Mix in bubbles, hill rolling, duck feeding and some balls and Christopher is a happy camper.

This was such a fun shoot and what an awesome family that I got the chance to get to know a bit.

Thanks for the fun guys...it was a pleasure...enjoy...

a new look

I am SO excited to share the new look of Michelle Peterson Photography with you. My wonderfully talented brother in law helped me to design a perfect new logo. I'm totally in love with it!

You will see it used in a few different variations, but it's pretty much the same look. So take a look and tell me what you think...


Thanks again Ryan...you rock my brother!!

Andy & Nikki

Ahh...the love birds!!

Meet Andy and Nikki. Andy is the youngest brother of my dear hubby and Nikki is well...my soon to be adorable sister-in-law. I had the awesome opportunity to shoot their engagement session and they are actually crazy enough to want me to shoot their wedding in March. Yes, truly crazy! I have agreed though so you will see more of this cute couple in a few short months.

Andy & Nikki, thanks for trusting me with your special day and I had a blast with our "E session"... cold weather and all. :)

Love you guys...enjoy...

Mikey man

While in Boise, visiting my best friend, I also got a chance to visit with her sister in law Lisa and "the Mikey man." And I couldn't resist getting some shots of this little guy as well.

I know what you're thinking because I was thinking the same thing..."I just want to pinch those yummy cheeks!" What a doll he is!

So Lisa, thanks for being patient for your peek and Ken our thoughts are with you as you serve our country and we are very proud of you. You have a beautiful family...but you already know that I'm sure. :)

Enjoy...
