Brown eyed girl

First I have to say I must be nuts because any place I go I am always looking for colored walls...teal being my favorite! So when I saw these walls at our son's T-ball practice I had to bring my camera and my dirty little girl. White pants and 2 year olds do not go together :)

This is the face I get anytime I try to get her to smile at the camera. She must hate the camera by now LOL.

Happy V-Day!!!

I just wanted to share a couple pictures of the kiddos. Whenever I am having a hard time I can look at those cute faces and remember that I am beyond blessed by God. They are so sweet. I am one lucky mommy.



I have been wanting to try piggy hearts with my girlie for so long. Brenda did it with her daughter and I thought this is too cute. I love her blog. http://www.brendaacuncius.typepad.com/

2 Moms, 4 Kids, 1 Photographer and a bag of lollipops

What a fun shoot I did today! These kids were so cute and the moms were great. They came prepared with a bag of red lollipops. I am not sure how many each kid had or if they took naps after the sugar high. I do know that they had lots of fun.

Soon...

I have been working all day and some late nights trying to get our new website ready to go. Soon it will be ready to show. I can't wait! Hopefully I will make the big announcement within the next week...so check back!

It's that time again...

time to make some new years resolutions! I guess I should announce mine, so here we go...
#1 - I want to gain some weight! Yep you heard it right folks, I said I want to gain weight :) I am not bragging about it. I don't like being so skinny.
#2 - do more children's photography
#3 - find amazing locations to shoot at all around my area that I have been missing
#4 - go on a mini vacation with my family and break away from my laptop for a few days
#5 - get my website up and running
#6 - do some Bible studies
#7 - enjoy 2008


I plan on taking more pictures of my own kids this year. I wish they liked to take pictures. I had to bribe them with candy to take these ones.

Sometimes I think of a good idea...

Then I have to run out and give it a try right away while the idea is fresh in my mind. The problem is my kids don't like my ideas. I had this idea for a picture of my son sitting on the little ladder with my daughter sitting at the foot of it and they would be laughing and smiling together...yeah right. My daughter screamed at my legs the whole time and son was too cold to take pictures so this is all I could get of him looking down at the ground. Once I realized there was no hope for photographing them together I started to take pictures of the trees and other things around me, which was kind of fun and I think I might go out and try that agian...without the kids :)

.childhood.

I found these pictures today while I was going through my hard drive. You have to love all of those cute faces! She is full of personality!

Just one little picture...

I am so happy to be finishing up the Christmas season. I ordered some last prints and now I have packaging to do tomorrow. I just need 2 weeks of rest and then I am ready for 2008!!! It sounds crazy to say and I am so happy about it...January is filling up fast, Feb is being booked right now and my website is being made!!!!! It should be a fun year. It's hard to believe this all started just over a year ago. What a blessing this business is :)

Cute, Cute and even more Cuteness

What darling girls I photographed this weekend. They were full of hugs and smiles. I think my favorite part of their session was following them around the house and in their rooms. For some reason this session has a lot of storyboards, so I have to share them.

Sweet Family

Today I went out to the clairmont colleges to take Lisa, Byron and little "miss M"s family pictures. Well as it turns out little Miss M wasn't as in to our family pictures idea as the rest of us were. So almost everything is candid. She loved the stairs and ran up and down them a dozen times. I bet she slept well after this shoot! Lisa and Bryon lets get together again soon...not just for family pictures at Christmas time!

Blogging at 1:35am? Strange night!

I was going to blog earlier and ask for prayer my Dad. He is going in tomorrow morning for possible bi-pass surgery on his heart. I spent the evening at the hospital with my Dad, just crying and talking together. I left the hospital worried and sad, but just hoping for a safe drive home. Well...I almost got home but then was hit by a car running a red light. The good news is I am okay and so was he. It turns out he goes to our old church CCV and he was such a nice young guy. We sat and waited with him for his ride and chit-chated, the cops must have thought we were nuts! I guess I couldn't have asked for a nicer guy to hit me (Nick if you are reading this I am glad you hit me and not some mean guy LOL)




Well I think I should go sit in the bath now because my back is starting to hurt and tomorrow will be a busy day with my Dad going into surgery. I am way more worried about my dad then our car...it can be replaced but my Dad can't. So if you stop by our blog and read this please pray for him. I feel like I could not ask enough people to pray.

*edit on 11-24-07 to say: My Dad is great! When they went into his heart there was no blockages. So he came home and we had thanksgiving together!!! As far as my car...we still don't know anything about it. I guess we'll figure out more after the holiday weekend. Thanks for your prayers!
