Under The Weather

I am currently ill and not able to spend alot of time on the computer or at the studio. If you have portraits to be picked up I will make arrangements with you by Feb.18th - If you don't hear from me, please call.

I will not be scheduling any sessions until after Feb 22 to make sure I am completely rested and well.

Please be understanding!

Hug 'O War

I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.

By Shel Silverstein



Is spring almost here? It's warm today! (and yes, after a cold icky winter, I consider over 50 degrees a heat wave!!) I am so excited that soon I will be able to do some outdoor portraits - yay!

Under My Umbrella

I heard today that the groundhog saw his shadow and we were having 6 more weeks of winter..Blah! I want spring!

I spent the day Scrapbooking with my best friend and her daughter, and we had a great time! I even saw a few of my customers in the scrapbook store, which was awesome!

I also joined a great website called MamaSource.com, you may have received an email from me about them asking for reviews/testimonials. If you didn't get the email, and want to post a review, please email me.

Baby, it's cold outside!

Brrr! Isn't this snow something? I'm staying warm and still editing all of the photos from next week. Most of you have your galleries complete by now, but if not you have received an email from me with a time estimate!

From Friday:


I just cannot resist babies with their fingers in their mouth, it's just so cute. That and baby feet... :-D

Today I went to my cousin Daniel's HeadStart Preschool class to talk to them about Photography. We talked about how cameras work and why people take pictures. We looked at some of my pictures and talked about what kind of stories that were happening in them. It was great fun and I'm sure I'll be back several times to visit the class and take photos of them! Here's a picture of me and them:



I have a few sessions left for next week if anyone is interested!

More new stuff!

What a week! I am a little tired, but extremely jazzed at how much fun I had this week! I did several sessions, and am introducing another new product!
