Sneak Peeks
In case you know of anybody, I am going to be looking for several "Senior Reps" come Springtime. These will be local high school students who are willing to "play model", get lots of photos taken at no expense, and then help me recruit people from their schools for Senior portraits for the Fall. This would have to be someone who likes to "play dress up", considers themself photogenic, and isn't scared of the camera...I have lots of ideas in mind that I want to try out! If you know of anybody in any local schools, please forward them my website and/or email address. This is a niche I'm very excited to start doing more of!

Happy Valentines Day
I was weeding through some albums tonight, and thought I'd post some of my personal favorites of the past year of my own little Valentines. Some of my favorites are on my website already, so I'll spare you those.
Stay tuned...I'm going to be posting my favorite client images of 2007 pretty soon, with a poll attached to see what everyone's favorite is!!! The owner of the winning image will get a FREE 8x10 of that image, and a gift certificate for another free 8x10 of their favorite shot from their next session!
My son and one of his good friends this past Summer.
A girl after my own heart, she loves her Sox hat!

Slacking
Keeping up to day with my blog was seriously one of my New years Resolutions. But you know how those things go, right?
My daughter started ballet recently, so I of course had to put her the grueling process of some snazzy photos in her ridiculously cute little outfit. This first one is my favorite, even though it doesn't scream "her" to me...the 2nd one does that moreso!
This little guy had the funnest little personality!
I have more to add, but this is about all the time I have for now...check back soon!

Happy New Year (and my favorite Holiday card)!
What an insane end to the year it was, lots of fun! And a tad of stress, I'll admit to that. I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday, here's to a Healthy & Happy New Year for us all!
We had an oh-so-exciting night last night, we stayed home with the kids and fondued, played Connect 4, and watched a movie together. I woke up at 10:30pm, and all 4 of us were konked out on the sofa together, kind of cute...kind of pathetic! Such is life, and I'd have it no other way!
The year started off with a "bang". Let me explain first, before I get reported to the "Bad-Mom-Police". My Father-In-Law was one of the first Jamestown "Penguin Plunge"-ers, some 32 years ago. My husband has been going in for maybe 25 years now. If you are unfamiliar, a very large group of fruitcakes jump into the freezing cold ocean on 12 noon New Years Day...to raise money for the Special Olympics. For those of you wondering, I've only done this myself once, in high school, back when a bathing suit and I went well together in 35 degree weather. I have always told my husband that when my son turned 5, I would agree to his doing the Penguin Plunge IF and ONLY IF he wanted to. (Between you and I, I had my doubts that a 5 year old, let alone MY 5 year old, would actually choose to do this).
But today my 5 year old chose to...he went into the water, did a cannonball, and came back out. Oddly, he didn't complain of being cold...he was more annoyed with that itchiness you get after being in the salt water. I was more concerned with warming my little man afterwards than taking my camera back out in the rain to get an "After" shot, but here is the "Before".
Sorry Santa! Wow did he get an earful that day. She wanted a kitchen, some cinnamon toast (yes, toast), and some clothes for her baby...and she made sure Santa knew all of this! Doesn't she kind of look like she wants to backhand him here???!
One of my final clients of 2007, such a precious shot!
And DRUM ROLL please............
My favorite Holiday card of 2007!!!
I obviously changed the names for privacy reasons. This card just cracks me up every time I look at it! It kind of summarized what the session was like, and Mom said it summarizes what their house is like...so we ran with that, and I LOVE how original it is!
You just have to love people with a great sense of humor! Happy 2008!

Hustle & Bustle
Don't panic, but there's only 2 1/2 weeks until Christmas! What the heck, when did that happen?! Monday is officially my very last session, so I'll be kicking it into high gear, getting orders done and to everybody. For those needing cards, we should get cracking and have them ordered by midweek this week. For those needing prints before the Holiday, I'd like to have everything ordered by the end of the week. If you had a session the second half of this week, I'm almost done!
Just a couple to share, then I must edit a few more, shower and get to a Christmas party!
Had to share this because it's festive...and she has some rockin' baby blues!
For those of you that stalk my blog (you know who you are, and I still find it hysterical that anyone even reads/looks at this), you may recognize this as the 34 week pregnant woman who I said I wanted to kick in the shin because she looked so good pregnant! This is her new baby girl, just a few weeks old!
And one my favorite clients' little ones! The younger one is the baby on my home page with the beautiful blue eyes...just a little bigger now!

Bring It On!
That's (had to be) my motto lately, as I sit here in the wee hours, yawning and working. The good news is that my Christmas shopping is now 95% done, thanks to venturing out on the dreaded Black Friday with my sister-in-law. Can I just tell you that the line at 5:15am at Kohls was a complete one and a half times around the store?!!! This was us: walk in....see HUGE line...walk out.
Ooh...first of all, check out the Elf link off to the top right here. I was up working this past week, and laughed for a good 5 minutes straight after making that at 2am. My daughter's hips were just cracking me up!
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Holiday cards? I love making them, sending them, receiving them, just love them. I'm feeling some pressure this year, since I had so many compliments on last year's card. Not sure I can live up, but I did manage to tackle my kids last weekend to attempt their photos. I got fantastic ones of each of them solo, but I just don't have the energy (or desire) to attempt one of them together. I'm MUCH more patient with everyone else's kids, my own get the brunt of my impatience, poor things. I'll post my own card here once I send them out (and oh yeah, order them). And I may pick a couple of my favorites and post them after the Holidays as well! I already know who's winning so far (initials PB!!).
These could be my easiest clients ever, and this is the second year I've taken their photos. I don't think they are capable of photographing poorly, I really don't. And if anyone wants to know how to dress their kiddos for photos...check this out! This is sheer perfection, look at that alternating brown and pink color scheme working! Love.
Also, SUPER easy clients, made my day when they came! And look at the outfits, loving that! I'm always up for some winter hats and scarves! In fact, that's what my own kids are sporting in our Christmas card this year!
And this is purely for comic relief. I chopped my daughter's hair to a bob today, so her bangs can have a fighting chance at catching up to the rest. And as I'm snapping a picture of it, she jams the ol' finger up there.

Arrggghhhhhhh
Okay, got that out, I feel better! Things have been crazy busy, to say the least. If I didn't have 2 kids, I probably wouldn't be up late every night working...but you know how it is, packing lunches for school, cold season is here, etc etc etc. Can you BELIEVE it's Thanksgiving this week?
I have to share this one snapshot...this is my son and his "real-life hero", who is the captain of the high school soccer team that my husband coaches. He just worships this kid, and he couldn't have picked a nicer kid to worship. They won the Division 1 State Championships last week, after a totally Undefeated season, and this was following the Big Game. Congratulations North!
These are my highly cooperative nieces, love them!
I want her hair. Sigh.
This kid just CRACKS me up in this picture! I feel like he might be trying to sell me a car with the pose, and the jacket!!!
This was just one from a family session today, I have lots to edit, but this one popped out at me as I was separating the keepers and the non-keepers. I wish I had a photo of my daughter and I having a good time like this, I love it. Self-timer????
