2010-03-25T11:35:00.001-07:00

If you are seeing this post..I am SO SORRY that it has been so long since I have last posted!! I am happy to announce that I am finally ready to launch my website. You can visit it at www.edenrosephotography.com (I can not for the life of me figure out how to link it!!).

Here is just a sneak peek from a wedding last weekend!

Hello!!!

Still waiting, and waiting, and waiting.....

2010-01-28T21:59:00.000-08:00

on my blog and website to be up! In the meantime, I am having posting withdrawls so here is just one quick one for now :)

I have been updating my Facebook page, so if you are on Facebook, look me up!!!

PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH ME!!!

2010-01-14T15:21:00.000-08:00

I am so very excited to be working on a NEW blog and a NEW website...and a NEW name, so for the next week or so I won't be posting here much. I have been saving quite a bit to share on the new blog, so there will be plenty to see when it is finished!! I appreciate any and all of you that visit this blog, and look forward to what the future holds!

Meet the cuteness that is Keagan

2010-01-06T19:17:00.000-08:00

Here is a little reminder of what he looked like 6 months ago at his newborn session...

And here he is today at 6 months old.

Newborn session sneak peek :)

2009-12-31T22:09:00.001-08:00

Just a couple from a newborn session this morning...

Engaged.

2009-12-31T22:06:00.000-08:00

Here is a sneak peek from an engagemnent session I had on Monday. It was freeeezing, and we encountered more than a couple "crazies" in downtown Reno :) but here are just a couple that caught my eye. There are SO many more, so I will come back and post later.

Take 2.

2009-12-26T18:27:00.000-08:00

You may remember my little Australian friend, Sebastian, from last week. Well we had part 2 of his session this afternoon, and this time we added his cousins :) Here is just one for now, but I will be back to add more later!

Can't you tell he is adored?!?!

Just two...

2009-12-24T15:55:00.000-08:00

from my session this morning with these beautiful little girl cousins.

Meet 6 month old Savannah

And 3 month old Eliza

And here is their sneak peek collage

Friendly Reminder!

2009-12-23T15:08:00.000-08:00

Just a reminder that there is only ONE WEEK left for prepaid sessions for 2010 in order to take advantage of my current price. I also have gift certificates available, so let me know if you are interested, or have any questions!

Here is just one for now from Sarah's bridal session downtown a few weeks ago.

Maximus.

2009-12-21T17:11:00.000-08:00

And I HAD to post these little "outtakes"!

Keeping my promise.

2009-12-19T22:46:00.000-08:00

Man! It's only been a day and I almost failed to blog a sneak peek from my session today! This beautiful family is visiting Lake Tahoe for a couple of weeks, and I had the pleasure of taking a few photos for them today. They just arrived yesterday from Australia, and the little guy was not quite acclimated to the 17 hour time difference (who could blame him!) so our session is to be continued to next week :) This is the first time he has seen the snow, so I'm glad I was at least able to capture him touching and eating it for the first time :)

Best of Intentions...

2009-12-18T19:32:00.001-08:00

That is what I have when it comes to blogging. I have so many sessions just waiting to be blogged..and not the time to blog them! So I still am going to add some previous sessions later, but my new goal is to post a sneak peek of each session I do. I put a collage together for the family that night anyway, so I might as well start sharing! I will start with today!

I had the pleasure of photographing these BEAUTIFUL twins at 6 months, and now they are a year old!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

2009-12-14T22:27:00.000-08:00

As of January 1st, I will be restructuring my pricing, so if you would like to book a session before December 31st (even if you plan on doing the session in 2010) I will offer my current pricing for the session and CD of images. Send me a message if you would like to book a session, or have any questions!

And because I don't want to post without an image, check out these cute cousins!

I'm very excited....

2009-12-10T19:01:00.000-08:00

to be sharing some more of my wedding and engagement photography, so stay tuned!

TWO sneak peek collages :)

2009-12-04T12:51:00.001-08:00

First up is beautiful Addison, from her newborn session yesterday...

And this is Bodie, from his One Year photo session this morning...

2 weeks old...

2009-11-25T18:48:00.001-08:00

and so beautifully aware!

My nephews.

2009-11-23T22:40:00.001-08:00

More from this session as well as MANY MANY more coming soon!! I have been so busy, that unfortunately this blog has become neglected. That will change hopefully very soon and I will be able to spend some time updating! Until then, enjoy this one of my beautiful nephews.

And this one of the family :)

Beauty.

2009-11-11T11:15:00.000-08:00

Daddy and son...

2009-11-08T22:25:00.001-08:00

Antique.

2009-11-06T22:48:00.000-08:00

I am having issues with uploading photos to my blog...so I only have the patience for one right now :) I chose this one because it pretty much tells the story of Sarah and her beautiful dress. I had the pleasure of doing her bridal session this afternoon, and found this mural in an alley. It is so fitting because Sarah is going to be wearing her Grandmother's dress on her wedding day and it is over 70 years old! I will be back to add more soon.

As promised...

2009-10-30T19:53:00.001-07:00

Here is a sneak peek from my session this afternoon. :) How cute is he?!?!

And because I am rebellious and (you know who you are) said to only post one...I couldn't resist the urge to post two :)

Raaaawwwrrr...

2009-10-24T20:14:00.000-07:00

Scary, right?

The Blair Family

2009-10-22T21:00:00.000-07:00

Every once in a while I leave a session and just wish to myself that every session could go the way that one did. Well, this was one of those. I had never met this family of five before, but right away I felt like I knew them! They were so much fun, and those three boys stole my heart. They were silly, crazy, and according to their mom's blog, pretty "sugared up" :) but they were a blast! You could just feel the love between all of them. There are too many favorites to post, so I also put together a little slideshow at the end.

Right now I'm working on.....

2009-10-14T20:46:00.001-07:00

This wedding...

This engagement session...

And this Family session!!!

Stay tuned for more from these sessions!!

Sometimes I just can't help myself....

2009-10-10T22:37:00.001-07:00

and I have to come and blog just ONE image that pops out at me. This beauty made me WORK today :) But if nothing came out of it but this one, I'd be a happy photographer.

Baby belly.

2009-10-10T00:14:00.001-07:00

Here is a preview of a fun maternity session I am working on.

Boys.

2009-10-07T21:02:00.001-07:00

There is a special place in my heart for little boys. Part of it, I'm sure, is that I have two of my own..or the fact that I have five brothers. Yes, I said five :) I got home from this session this evening and just couldn't wait another minute to share at least one. I will definately post more in the future, but this one just jumped out at me the second I saw it.

Just got home...

2009-10-03T22:30:00.000-07:00

from shooting a wedding and these are the first two I edited. I can't wait to work on the rest!

Preview of baby Eliza's newborn session.

2009-09-26T21:44:00.000-07:00

The cutest sneeze ever.

2009-09-26T13:50:00.000-07:00

ah ah ah ........

choooooo!

The slideshow.

2009-09-25T08:16:00.000-07:00

I decided to put together a slideshow with some of my favorites from Chad and Kylie's engagement session. Here it is.

Chad and Kylie from Eden Thome on Vimeo.

Chad + Kylie = love (part 1)

2009-09-23T21:51:00.000-07:00

These are just a few from their engagement session that cought my eye. I am shooting their wedding NEXT WEEKEND, and can't wait!

I love real laughter...

2009-09-13T22:52:00.001-07:00

and that's why I love this photo :)

MORE TO COME.....

real.

2009-09-12T23:38:00.001-07:00

Honestly, this is my favorite photo that I've taken in a really long time. It may not look like much to others, but as a mother of two little boys myself..this is reality. Ross and Darin are good friends of mine, and I wanted nothing more than to give them a nice family photo. Well, with a two-year-old, we always don't have much say :) However, I wish I had something like this of Joel and I and the boys, because as much as I love that perfect picture with everyone smiling directly at the camera, it doesn't get more real than this.

There's plenty more where this cuteness came from...

2009-09-11T22:44:00.001-07:00

perfect.

2009-09-05T21:48:00.000-07:00

Meet Gage. I know that ALL newborns are cute, but Gage is SO cute, cuddly and PERFECT!

I like this first one in color and in black & white, so I decided to post both :)

I know I posted this one in black and white in an earlier post, but wanted to post it in color too.

Check out his faux hawk!

A few more of sweet Savannah..

2009-09-01T21:35:00.000-07:00

Savannah's newborn session was actually a couple of months ago..but I wanted to come back and share some of her cuteness! I'm sure she's grown so much since these photos were taken, which is why I love photographing newborns so much. Pretty soon she'll be crawling around, then taking steps, and expanding her vocabulary. These newborn moments are such fleeting ones. I love capturing these new little lives and hopefully giving parents something they can look back on and remember how small they once were.

Trash the dress...take one!

2009-08-31T21:36:00.000-07:00

Last night, I had the pleasure of hanging out with some AWESOME photographers, and BEAUTIFUL models, for a TTD (trash the dress) session in Virginia City! This was for no other purpose than just hanging out with fun people, and getting to be creative! Here are a few from the session.

Keagan

2009-08-24T23:49:00.000-07:00

Three posts in one night...I'm on a roll!

Here is a sneak peak of Keagan's newborn session.

Brian and Laura

2009-08-24T22:34:00.001-07:00

This wedding was one of the most warm (not literally...it was the coldest day in June!!) weddings I have ever been to. Brian and Laura and their families were so full of love on that day, and Laura was such a beautiful bride! They got married at the Tannenbaum Event Center, which is such a great venue! Here is a little slideshow with just a few photos from their wedding day.

**If it says that it's "converting" just hit your refresh button. And as usual, the best way to view is to press play, then pause, and let it load for a minute or so. Then you can view the whole thing :)

One for the road...

2009-08-24T15:44:00.000-07:00

So I am leaving in the morning for a couple of days, but wanted to post just one picture. How a.dor.a.ble is little Emma?

Okay...I came back and added a couple of more. I couldn't help myself!

I wonder where Emma gets her beauty...hmmmmmm.

Flower Girls.

2009-08-19T21:05:00.000-07:00

Are these not the most beautiful flower girls you've ever seen?! They were so cute that they deserve a little post all their own. I am excited to share the rest of this wedding, but here's a little flower girl cuteness since I've been such a blog slacker!

hahaha! Love this expression!

I love me some squishy face!

2009-08-02T22:53:00.000-07:00

More to come of this little guy...after all of my previously mentioned sessions :)

The Stevenson Family

2009-07-30T23:24:00.001-07:00

These twin girls are probably the cutest EVER!!

And meet their baby sister..how beautiful is she?!?!

Love this face!

And this one! All three are so full of personality!

I'm sorry Hannah, but your girls are so dang cute, even when crying, that I HAD to post a couple of session "bloopers" :) Is it mean that I love crying pictures?

They were so over it by the end...they were such troopers the whole time!!

And one last one of their beautiful family.

Still to come...

2009-07-25T14:46:00.000-07:00

I have a lot of sessions to share... Coming up are...

Baby Savannah's Newborn Session

Brian and Laura's Wedding

The MacDonald Family Session

The Stevenson Family Session

John and Laura's Wedding

Tammy's baby bump :)

2009-07-24T23:15:00.000-07:00

Dear Bucks Lake,

2009-07-19T23:03:00.001-07:00

It has been a nice camping trip this year. I had to head home because I have SO MANY pictures that need some of my attention. I hope you understand. I will see you next year!

Eden

A little bit of dirt never hurt anybody!

"These are for you, Mommy."

Personality.

2009-07-13T23:07:00.001-07:00

Meet Jaidyn. She is turning eight years old and is SO full of spunk and personality! I call this series...flower falling out. I am really trying to keep up with posting on the blog, and will hopefully get around to some FULL posts soon :)

Sweet Olivia.

2009-07-13T19:16:00.000-07:00

I have a couple of other newborn sessions to post, but here are a couple from Olivia's session this morning.

Elijah.

2009-07-07T20:53:00.001-07:00

I couldn't decide whether I like these better in color or black and white, so I decided to post both :) There are a couple of reasons why I love these photos of my son, Elijah. First of all, he is 2 1/2 and it is RARE that I am able to get any pictures at all of him. Secondly, he takes after me in that he squints when he smiles, so it is nearly impossible to get a picture where he is smiling AND you can see his blue eyes.

Moreau Family Slideshow

2009-07-02T22:33:00.000-07:00

I was going to post a lot more pictures of the session I did with this beautiful family a couple of weeks ago, but thought I would post the slideshow instead. Here you go!

**The best way to view the slideshow is to press play, then pause, and let it load for a couple of minutes. Then when you press play you should be able to watch it all the way through :)

Love.

2009-06-22T23:21:00.001-07:00

I will have a post in the near future with many photos from this wedding. Here are just a few.

There once was a girl with a little curl....

2009-06-21T19:06:00.001-07:00

so began a little saying that my mom used to say when I was little.

I don't know what it is about this picture that cought my eye when I was downloading pictures from a wedding I helped shoot yesterday. I think that I like that there is no eye contact. And of course, her beautiful curls!

Twins!

2009-06-20T21:06:00.001-07:00

This family was TOO CUTE FOR WORDS. I mean, seriously...a faux hawk and a tutu. The twins are 6 months old, and such good babies! There are so many to share from this session, but here are just a few.

...her eyes

2009-06-17T23:33:00.001-07:00

I am toying around with different ways to display images on this blog. I thought I would single out this one because her eyes are to. die. for.

black and white...

2009-06-17T21:56:00.001-07:00

I love black and white. Plain and simple. I love the timeless simplicity that a black and white photo possesses. I also love collages. So fittingly, here is a black and white collage with a few more photos of Marisa's 6 month session a while back.

Brothers

2009-06-16T21:24:00.001-07:00

Here is just one more from the Davis Family pics. These boys are fun loving great big brothers to their newest little bro.

My Friends

2009-06-04T23:33:00.001-07:00

This is my beautiful friend, Monica. She may not be happy with me for plastering her face front and center, but if I looked like her, I would have it placed on a bilboard somewhere :) What makes her beautiful is not only the obvious, but the fact that she is a young mom to three, yes THREE boys, and still works part time and is a loving wife, too. THAT is what makes her beautiful.

These are her boys. All four of them.

And this is her beautiful little family. How stunning are they?!

A Collage of the Ott Family

2009-06-04T23:26:00.001-07:00

When I met up with the Ott family, I could feel the connection that they had right away. I especially felt it with the three kids. The two older ones were so kind and polite, and really adored their little sister. It definately helps that she is the cutest thing ever! They truly are a gorgeous family, and with loving parents come loving kids. I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys!

Sneak peak of a sneak peak...

2009-05-22T21:00:00.001-07:00

Here is just one of a family session I am working on right now. I loved these kids!

Brennan

2009-05-22T09:26:00.001-07:00

I have another family session to share soon, but in the meantime, I put together this slideshow for a session I did for my friends the Davis'. Brennan is 2 years old and I love how in each picture, he has a different facial expression!

Sneak Peak

2009-05-08T16:20:00.001-07:00

My computer is still not up and running, but I was able to use a friend's computer for a couple of hours and wanted to share a sneak peak of baby Marisa's 6 month photos. I will have plenty more to share when I get my computer back!

Computer down.

2009-05-03T21:06:00.000-07:00

Just a note that I am still alive, but unfortunately my computer is not! It should be fixed in the next week so I will have a lot to share when it is up and running!

My Muse

2009-03-31T22:35:00.000-07:00

I realize that I have been posting a lot of my son, Kayl, lately. I do have another son who is 2, but he is a lot less willing to be a subject for me! Kayl allows me to drag him wherever I please to test out new locations. So, he will probably be a regular on this blog. If you would like photos like this of your little one(s), and live in the Reno/Tahoe area...shoot me an email and we can set up a time!

toes...

2009-03-27T22:23:00.001-07:00

my blue eyed boy...

2009-03-21T11:20:00.001-07:00

is getting his first haircut, so I wanted to get some last photos of his wild and crazy hair.

A few more from Audrey's newborn session

2009-03-19T16:56:00.001-07:00

Sneak Peak

2009-03-04T18:35:00.001-08:00

I haven't done a newborn session in quite a while, so I would be lying if I said that I wasn't a little nervous. Baby 'A' made my job pretty easy, as she slept for *most* of the time:) Here is a little preview of her session today.

Just Because

2009-02-28T14:36:00.001-08:00

I love it when people choose to do "just because" photos. Mackenzie and Rebecca have been married for almost 5 years, and wanted to get photos done of the two of them, as well as their dog Cassie. Rebecca is also an amazing makeup artist, so be sure to visit her website at www.rebeccaknabe.com.

2009-02-21T21:44:00.000-08:00

My son, Kayl.

2009-02-17T11:18:00.001-08:00

2009-01-16T17:53:00.000-08:00

Many, many more photos to come soon!

2009-01-06T23:32:00.000-08:00

The Y Family

2008-12-18T00:08:00.001-08:00

I realize that I am completely behind on blogging, so I hope to add more sessions soon. To start off, this was a beautiful little family with a beautiful little daughter.

Blow Kisses!
