Puppies....

I had an appointment this week with a 6 month old boxer. He had just finished puppy kindergarten, so he was a pretty good listener! Here is a sneak peek for you!Awwwwwwwww, look at that face!

Here he is with his 'blue man' toy.I thought that the red would look great with his coloring. I like this one!

After they left we decided to get a few of the giant pumpkin that I bought, then Charlie decided to visit me in the studio......Big mistake Charlie!

Big brother Lucky couldn't resist teasing Charlie.....haha! *You're stuck in a pumpkin!*
Hope you enjoyed the puppies!

Brothers......

It has been way too long since I have blogged! I have been super busy, and bogged down with work. so I guess you could say that I have been too bogged to blog!

These two boys were such great kids. They listened well, they looked great, and I got some great shots of them!

Here is a little peek at your session, and the proofs will be up soon.


So handsome! He was a good poser too! I think that he would make a super Gap model!

Don't you love the little ones face?? So funny!His eyes are so beautiful! Can I say beautiful about a boy??

I've been gone, but I am back!

I was gone all day Friday, and then I had a wedding Friday evening. My dd, Liv and I left the wedding at 10:00pm and drove to WV to a photography conference....what a drive that was! We were both so tired! She fell asleep right away, and I drove the four hours to the hotel in Beckley, WV. We got in at just after 2:00am!
We spent the day Saturday and Sunday hanging out with other photographers and taking classes, and learning new things. Liv even modeled for the lighting techniques class, and the senior posing and techniques class. I only took a few of her, and let the others do the shooting, but I will post a few later.
Saturday night after a late dinner we all went bowling, and I haven't had so much fun, and laughed so hard for a long time. We all belong to a photography forum and even though we have never met before, we all felt like family. It was so nice to meet face to face!
We got home just after 6:00pm tonight and I have been pretty much useless ever since. I am absolutely, positively exhausted!
I will be in and out on Monday, but you can leave a message and I will call when I am in!

I need a new baby!

I am looking for a new baby to model for me on a pumpkin! The baby needs to be born in October 2008, and be about a week old at the time of the shoot. I have had an idea in mind for a picture of a baby laying on a pumpkin, and last year I had a newborn, and I couldn't find a big enough pumpkin! This year I found a great farm that has giant pumpkins, and now I don't have a newborn!
So if you or a friend is very pregnant, and due this month, please give me a call, or send me an email or respond to this post by using the comments button.

I am also looking for a 6 month old girl or boy to sit inside of a giant pumpkin. I bought a giant pumpkin, and I will clean it and hollow it out and then sit your baby inside of it!

For your time and letting me borrow your babies, you will receive a free session, and a free portrait package of one of the chosen photos.


Here is an example of a baby on a pumpkin. This one is by Anne Geddes, my hero! The picture I take will look a little different than this, but this will give you a visual:

Last week was busy with babies, and sports......

Last week was incredibly busy, with baby appointments, and life as a mom to three children in sports.
Monday L has vball, and A has soccer
Tuesday L has vball
Wednesday L has vball, and O has soccer, and we all had church.....this was a crazy night!
Thursday L has vball and A has soccer
Friday L has vball and O has soccer, and then there is the fball game at night that they all like to go to.
Saturday L has vball, and O has soccer.
And Sunday I was in bed litterally all day with a Migraine.........


So you see that even if I didn't have any appointments, my weeks are filled with kids and sports!I am going to put a few pics of the babies that I shot last week here.......



This is Baby A. She was just 11 days old. She was so sweet and she did a good job staying asleep.




This is her big sister H. Don't you love how her eyes are all squished up?




H is three, and such a good listener!Next was Wyatt. He was a tough cookie! He didn't want to smile, but I got a few out of him!I loved his little hat!And his OSU gear!

Then there was Mr Q. Look at his big eyes! He is 3½ months old. I can't believe how big he is now!This one cracks me up! He looks like he is yelling at someone! (probably me and my camera!)This was as close to a smile as I got! Although it doesn't surprise me at all, because I couldn't get his brother to smile until he was three!

And last but not least, was Miss S. She was pretty happy when she got here, but once she got her clothes changed, she wanted to leave!

Her eyes are so blue!
Here's to a less crazy week!

A baby got her angel wings today...

I had the honor of taking pictures of the P family last week. Although we met under difficult circumstances. I went to the hospital to take pictures of their baby girl G. She had some difficulties after her birth, and the family wanted some rememberance photos.

She lived 12 days. She went to be with Jesus early this morning.

Please keep her parents T&S and her big brother T in your prayers.

The Holiday's are coming!

I have been asked by the Bargain Hunter to take the pictures for their Family Christmas Album again this year. I will start Oct 13, so things will be crazy around here for a while!

I will be here on Wednesday's, and Saturday's, and then off and on through the week.

If you are wanting Christmas Pictures, or Christmas Cards you need to give me a call ASAP so that I can get you on the schedule!
