I received your lovely treat, Melissa! Thank you so much and I hope great things come your way. and props for giving a homeless man money. I know a little money can never fully change someone’s life but it’s a much unexpected act of kindness these days so good for you!

Hey ya’ll.  Just wanted to take a second to make a quick post to let you know the promotion going on for the month of March.  I didn’t want to send out another newsletter even though it’s a new month.  Since February was so short it seems like I just sent out a newsletter a few weeks ago.

Anyways, if you book your wedding with me anytime during the month of March 2010 you’ll receive a free 4 x 4 storybook album.  I can use this album for your engagement photos or your wedding photos.  If you are interested in booking CLICK HERE.

And..because a post isn’t a post without a pic (or video)….this picture was taken on my front porch last week… Oh spring…where are you? 19 days and counting. . . xoxo

I was contacted by a woman who wanted to give her friend a very personalized gift for Christmas. She wanted me to take pictures of her son’s… So with less than a week before Christmas I met them on a very cold Winter day and we snapped away…very fast. haha We also snapped a few of her daughter and her very hyper dog. I can’t believe I got that great shot of Lucky. Good thing I have a fast lens to grab it.


Thanks so much for letting me take your pics.  I hope your mom loved it!! xoxo

LOVE these shots! The dog’s eyes just pop & I love the filter or action you used on the first shot.

Chrissy posted the following on February 25, 2010 at 8:30 pm.

love animals as you well know…but seriously are these young men going to have girls chasing them soon breaking many hearts..great pics

This photos were taken back in the fall but I couldn’t blog them because they were a gift for their Mom for Christmas. I had so much fun hanging out with these guys at Fowler Park. It was a pretty cold day but we pushed thru and got some great pics.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone pick up that many leaves at once!

Thanks so much for having me do your photos for you mom. I hope she loved them. xoxo

Hope ya’ll had a very Happy Valentine’s Day.  It was a very cold VD (hehe) here.  We started getting snow late last nite and when I woke up this morning we had almost 6 inches. YUCK.  It’s the middle of February which means I’ve had enough winter, I’m ready for spring.  I’m ready to take pics of green grass and leaves.  I’m ready to open my windows and wear flip flops everyday.  I am SO READY to be able to have a photo shoot everyday and not have to wear five layers of clothes.  I’ve officially started my countdown…33 days til spring.

And because no post is a post without a photo…here is a photo of one of my Valentine’s Day gifts from my hubby. I love it! xoxo
