A recent favorite image.

My name: Sarah, Uniquely You Photography

Where I call home: Lincoln, NE

My status: Married, with 3 delightful little girls

What I do: Fine art portraiture of children and families

A good source of inspiration for me is… My own kiddos, other photographers, books & magazines…the desire of wanting to get that perfect shot!

What sets my personal style aside from another photographer… I really try to capture the true spirit in each of my subjects. The innocence of a newborn, stubborn-ness of a toddler, and the heart felt moments within a family.

3 things I have on me for every photography shoot… Hopefully my camera, of course! Many extra CF cards, extra sync cord (had to find out the hard way on that one), and a lint roller

My favorite piece of equipment… My camera? I really love Photoshop CS2, there are so many things you can do!

Best thing a client’s ever said to me…I’m appreciative of all the compliments I get. Someone once told me I was a miracle worker with their 2 year old, I initially thought, “it’s just pictures”, then I realized it’s a lot more than pictures….it’s a moment!

My favorite saying…A picture is not just a record of what you look like, but rather who you are.

My favorite beauty product… Clinique Super Moisterizing Serum (especially now) and I couldn’t live without my Chapstick Medicated lip balm…I love that tingly feeling.

Something I love to do for myself…reading, looking through decorating magazines, keeping up on the latest photo news!

My favorite mid-day snack is… frozen Gogurt

Something I love, but am embarrased to share…I TiVo the Tyra Banks Show everyday. My husband can not believe it!

Favortie music…I like a lot of different things…I’m a Gemini, so it depends on my mood. I like something a little different, something eclectic….old songs redone, folk and blues, etc.

Don’t have any ideas for Christmas gifts this year? Well I’ll give you a few ideas, some of the things I’ve heard are disappearing FAST from the shelves this season!!

1. The new Apple iPod Video…straight from the Apple website, “Witness the evolution of the revolution. First it played songs. Then photos. Then podcasts. Now iPod plays video, changing the way you experience your music and more. Again. In lighter, thinner 30GB and 60GB models starting at $299, the new iPod is music to your eyes.

2. Looking for something a little less spendy? Take everything you love about iPod and shrink it. Now shrink it again. The iPod Nano, with 2GB (500 songs) and 4GB (1,000 songs) models, pricing starts at $199.

3. Chances are if you don’t already have it, you won’t be getting it in time for Christmas! This next item is H-O-T! The Xbox 360 Core System delivers the same powerful gaming as Xbox 360 but starts with the basics and lets you expand at your own pace. Couldn’t find an exact price, as most places are backordered, starts somewhere around $400.

4. Now something for the kids. The Furby is back!! I’m not sure why? I had one once, they’re very annoying. Something to drive mom and dad batty for sure! Get yours for $29.99.

5. A new take on the planets oldest pastime! Sextrology: The Astrology of Sex and the Sexes, a very intruguing read. Over 500 pages of amazingly accurate information. Find out why you are the way you are, and how compatible you are with your mate. You won’t be able to put this one down. Get it bargain priced at amazon.com, prices as low as $11.99.

6. Don’t pass up these great movies. Available now!! Star Wars: Episode III, The Polar Express, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and now on DVD The Titanic.

7. And we musn’t forget about the tunes. Top sellers include, Stevie Wonder-Time 2 Love, Franz Ferdinand-You Could Have It So Much Better, Coldplay-X & Y, and Madonna-Confessions On A Dance Floor.

8. What to buy your teeny-bopper? Graphic tees are all the talk right now. Check out these tees with catchy slogans, vintage tees featuring old rock bands and super hero emblems. Girls and guys will love these as a gift. www.80stees.com

9. For the handy man….get the Robotoolz 2 Beam Level and Plumb Crossliner. Features a separate or simultaneous self-leveling level and plumb beams for interior level, plumb and alignment applications. Automatic out-of-level indicator. You’ll never have another crooked frame again! Average price $225.

10. And for the queen of the throne?? How about some BLING, BLING? A nice pair of diamond stud earrings. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. You can’t disappoint the favorite lady in your life, with this classic and luxurious gift that will never go out of style. Price?…how much is she worth to you?

Happy Shopping!!
