redoing the site

2012-01-30T21:38:00.000-06:00

just a heads up, if you are looking at this right now, its a bit messy. I am completely redoing the site to combine my website with the blog into one site. check back, it will be amazing :)

Welcome Monday!

2011-08-22T12:44:00.001-05:00

Friday!!!

2011-07-29T09:19:00.002-05:00

I love Fridays, not sure why, as I often work on Saturdays, so its, not a end of the work week thing for me. I guess its more of a everyone is happier on Fridays thing, lol! Well, the sun is shining, its gonna be a warm day, and I get to sit at my desk and edit sessions. Maybe I need longer cords and should sit outside on the sidewalk bench and enjoy Hwy 8 traffic while I edit...

Well, anyways, happy Friday! make it a marvelous weekend!

More Vintage Play

2011-07-28T10:02:00.001-05:00

This morning i had a couple Vintage Play sessions, and I have to say I believe there are some amazing images from them :) I will post a couple peaks later!

New Improved Blog

2011-07-27T17:09:00.003-05:00

Well, what do you think? here is the layout of the new blog site, of course, I still have to keep it updated, lol! not even sure if people still want this site, now that facebook is all the rage.... any thoughts?

worst blogger in the history of blogging?

2011-07-27T10:57:00.003-05:00

lol, is that me? well, maybe not the worst, but, certainly close! maybe it will get better. Seems to me like facebook is taking over this type of socializing, but maybe their is a call for both. have to give that some thought.

its been a fairly quiet month at the studio, my kids have been keeping me busy, and life is just great... not much to blog about right now. probably the wrong time to try and get this going again!

thinking about doing some tweeting... not sure what that will look like, but could be good. will have to give it some more thought.

hope everyone is having a beautiful sunny day!

Daddy Daughter Valentines Dance

2010-02-16T11:43:00.010-06:00

Well, its been a fun month so far, but the thing I enjoyed the most was on Friday night my husband took my youngest daughter (or should I say my daughter took her daddy) to the Daddy Daughter Valentines Dance. She had so much fun. I was fortunate enough to be invited to participate as the event photographer, so I got to enjoy seeing some of the fun Activities that took place. Lila was so excited to go, she wanted to shop for a new outfit, and she wanted me to curl her hair. Ron even brought her a beautiful sweetheart roses wristlet corsage. Such happy girl, and fun was had by all! Here are a few images from the night....

January is fast coming to an end!

2010-01-25T17:09:00.002-06:00

Wow, Another month is going by quickly... We are working on the details about the Bunnies 2010! Watch for details to come early February... I think it will be the week of March 22nd, close to Easter, but we can still swing Easter Delivery :)

Visit our facebook page, (link is on the right) and check out some of our recent session favorites! You do not have to have a facebook account to visit.

Have a great day! I will not be updating again till next week... I get the privilage (??? lol) of going to Wolf Ridge with my Sixth grader for a 3 day wilderness experience field trip.... whose idea was it that wilderness experience should be a winter activity?

Well, its another year...

2010-01-18T18:45:00.002-06:00

So, here we are in 2010, and I am determained to do better with the blog this year. As many of you know, we are on facebook now and I do keep many updates going on there, but the blog can be fun too :)

With that in mind, here we go into the new year with the goal of a more interactive blog! Lets see what will happen!

Just on a side note, we have a fun special going on this week, My Dolly and Me... those of you have adorable little girls who love love love their dollies, call me up and set up a time for a special session for them. we will have tea and garden party for the girls :)

Locks of Love

2008-10-09T13:18:00.007-05:00

Some of you may know my office manager Jahn has a 13 year old daughter, Jenna, who was diagonosed with a rare childhood soft tissue cancer this summer. I just want to thank all of you who have checked in with me on how she is doing with her chemo, and to see if their was anything you can do to help. I know Jahn appreciates all of you. Well, my girls all have personally felt touched by this experience, and my youngest, Lila, who has always kept her hair long, asked if she could "give her hair to cancer". This week, Lila went for her first visit to the hair salon, and donated her hair to Locks of Love, which is a wonderful organization that creates wigs for cancer patience. Here are the photos from Lilas experience!
