OK, I know I am the worst blogger ever! But between internet issues, sick kiddos, and hubby out of town, time just flies by and the blog gets the short end of the stick. But I have been coming up with some great ideas for the business.
However in before I make any announcements of packages coming soon, I have been busy shooting and photoshoping. My very good friend Tammy Muecke is a great wedding photographer and I have been helping her shooting weddings and a couple of bridal shoots. Last month we had the please of shooting a gorgeous bride Kelli and cute little Yorkie, Roxie. (I tried to upload a slideshow but was having issues, so you are only going to get a small sample) Without further ado, the lovely Kelli:

Had a chance this past weekend to get together with my close and dear friend DeAnn. We set up a little photo shoot for the kiddos, which was quite interesting considered the oldest child was 3 years old. Heres a few of Anden and Gibson, I only had time to do one of Gambles and Coles will be coming soon.

Gamble: (more to come later)

Gibson is going to start playing soccer soon, so we decided to go and play in the yard and let him practice a little (he loves his shoes and “socks” shin guards). Gamble was playing it cool and watching with his shades on!

Gibson picked me some flowers!! How sweet!

OK, so it’s been a long time since I blogged, but I am having internet issues at home. Plus things have been crazy at work…. So here are a few from my sessions over Christmas

I have been pretty busy lately with my little hobby (hopefully one day full time business).  Lots of request for pictures for Christmas cards.  I had a couple of shoots this weekend, even helped out with a wedding, those I will post later this week.  I also have a full weekend coming up, I can’t wait!!  So here is Abby and Sadie’s pic:

Here is Chelsey in some of her shots for a little present for Dave:

Then I got these of the boys while trying to get one for our card (which I won’t be showing you just yet):

Sunday night we had our good friends the Arnolds and the McLellands over so we could have a dinner and kidds Christmas pj party!  We attempted to put all of the kids in front of the tree together, not a good idea, and it didn’t quite work out.  Gamble was crying, then Cole started crying, Gibson was playing with their heads, Anden didn’t like her spot so she kept moving, and Turner just wanted to get up and run.  Needless to say the group shot didn’t happen or at least not one that was postable!  So instead we did individual shots……

And my favorite of the evening:

Well, I will start with my trip to New Orleans back at the beginning of November. I was in really bad need of a vacation and Steve and I had been trying to have a weekend get away, so when I saw that there was going to be a OSP group meeting down there, I jumped at the opportunity! Steve was able to work his schedule out so that he could work there that week. SO, we headed out Sunday after church and didn’t return until Thursday afternoon. It was a well needed relaxing time, but I missed my boys!

The conference was great! I met a ton of great photographer from all of the country and learned a ton. Plus Steve and I got to spend some quality time together and get some Christmas shopping done. Here are a couple of shots I got:

Steve and I have been in our home for 5 years now and we have the best neighbors! They their kids are awesome, well behaved, well manored, we love them and so does our boys! Jessica is now a freshman at Magnet and had her first Homecoming dance last weekend, I was so excited when they asked if I would take a few shots of her before she left!! I can remember when we first moved in and she was still in elementary school with her cute little glasses and now she is a gorgeous teenager! Poor Tom, I don’t think he is prepared for his little girl to grow up, thankfully he was out of town, he had to do the fly over at the Tampa game. So they were able to send him some pictures the next day!

OH and check out the new logo!! Let me know what you think!

So these pictures are about a week or 2 old but I loved these shots of Chelsey and wanted to show them and her new do off. I am surprised her hair didn’t boycott and fall out! Her hair is as dark at mine and she decided she wanted to go blonde, so one Monday evening she got a friend to make it happen. Well, it wasn’t was she hoped…. oh the color was great but not on her, so after those 3 processes she called Samantha, who usually does her hair in a panic. So by Thursday night these were the results! And she looks great thanks to Samantha! Note to Chelsey, stick with Sam!
