Introducing the Image Box!
June 23, 2009
The image box is here! I’m so excited about this product offering because it’s something that I needed for myself. Since becoming a mom, I just don’t have the time to keep up with all the photos that I take of my daughter and those family moments that pass by so fast. I used to scrapbook, but that’s a thing of the past for me now. I’m just not going to stress about keeping up with it all, so I when I came across these boxes, I was thrilled! I can take all the pics that I want and put my favorites in this amazing image box. I’ll still enlarge and frame select images, but I just don’t have the space to frame every favorite image even though I’d like to. This solution is now available for you too!
The image box is custom designed with you and your session in mind. You pick a favorite image for the cover and then pick five of your favorite images to be permanently bevel mounted, which you can display with the included easel. Change out the images to fit your mood and fancy! The rest of your portraits from your session gallery will be included in the box as 5×7 prints. You can add to the box with portraits from future Yvonne Niemann Photography sessions or just add your own photographs as time goes on. It’s just another great option to those who want it all!
Happy Father’s Day!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Father’s Day! I know we are at the Niemann household. It’s a hot one, but daddy sure knows how to cool things off while having some fun! Images like this just make me smile.
Recipe for Country Ribs on the Grill!!!! Enjoy!
June 16, 2009
Made some yummy country ribs on the grill. Here’s the recipe taken from “Grilling ~ Where There’s Smoke There’s Flavor” by Eric Treuille & Birgit Erath. This is the Spiced Hoisin Ribs recipe found on pg. 48 and a favorite around our house in the summer. I also made some chili rubbed corn on the cob, which is seen behind the ribs in the picture and some baked potatoes not pictured. If you give the recipe a whirl, let me know what you think!
Ingredients:
4 lb pork spareribs or country style ribs
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 tsp chinese five-spice
4 crushed garlic cloves
2 Tbsp grated fresh ginger root
2 Tbsp medium dry sherry
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp hot chinese sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
Directions:
Separate ribs by slicing between the bone with a sharp knife. (I like country ribs because they’re boneless!!!!) Simmer ribs in large pan of salted water until just tender, about 30 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold running water and drain again. Combine all other ingredients and brush mixture over the ribs. Grill over medium-hot coals, turning frequently and basting until brown and crusty, 15 min. ENJOY!

Had a fun session this morning with a great family in U City. You can just feel the love between them and it really shows through their images. Mr. Xavier has grown so much in his short four months on earth. It’s so much fun seeing him grow! Enjoy the sneak peek!
