Whats going on?

*As many of you know, I am always having issues with my computer. Well, this weekend it started again! Soooo...I now have a new computer! I am working on getting some files uploaded, changed, etc. Things may be a little slow during this transfer, but I am hoping to eliminate a lot of downtime.

*Drum Roll...please!! I now have someone helping me with all of the paperwork/office end of things. Nikki has stepped in to help me before I get over my head. I could not be more thankful! She is very precise and structured. I know she is going to be a huge asset to this business. I plan on doing a blog of her and her family soon! So, stay tuned...

*I will have a huge window display going up next week. Keep your eyes open..you don't want to miss it!

*KTOP galleries will be posted on Wednesday.

*Next week, I will release the details of some special sessions during this year. I am very excited about them!!

*April/May sessions are very limited. Please contact me on these months before all dates are gone. :)

~Valentine's Day Wedding~

I went to my church on Valentine's Day to capture some pictures at a wedding. These guys were a blast to be around. Congratulations! Here is your sneak peek...

Baby Sam

The latest of baby Sam!! I know you have been patiently waiting! Love you guys :)

Man time, already?

Beautiful Family!

Sneak Peek

This is a sneak peek for mom! She was too cute in her little dress. Mom, cherish these moments. They will go by so fast. I will be enrolling Brayden in PreK at the end of the month. I am still trying to prepare myself for that! You guys know how much I appreciate you all! I pray many blessings upon you all!

Chad & Jill

I can only think of one word to describe this wedding. That would be love. I know, that is what you would describe all weddings by. Although, at this wedding it was so obvious the love that these two are surrounded by. I had a hard time choosing which ones to post. Check them out...

Baby X 2

I have been busy, busy! I managed to neglect this blog during that time. So, I have a lot of catching up to do. This week I hope to show some of the recent work that I have been doing. Also, sign up to receive newsletters on the website. The last one included $50 off. Each one will include some *fabulous* discounts.
Ok, I visited one of my good friends and her family. I cannot say enough good things about them that would truly do them justice. I think she looks *awesome* prego (with twins)! They inspire me as a Christian. Both of their hearts are completely sold out to our Savior. I couldn’t be more proud to call them friends. So….check them out!

Christmas Deadline

Oh my..these last few weeks have been busy! I could not be more thankful! I appreciate each & every one of you guys that have trusted me to capture your memories! Christmas is just around the corner. I will need all orders that are needed for Christmas by 12/10. Please contact me if we do not already have arrangements made for ordering and you need your pictures before Christmas! To wrap up this blog...here is a new picture of baby Sam! I have many others to post soon...very soon!

DoWnTiMe

So, this week has been a little crazy! The company that hosts my website had a hard drive fail & it took some time for the backup to get everyone running. This left my website down for 2 days! :( If you are waiting on a gallery, everyone will be posted by Monday. I have 19 mini sessions tomorrow and will be away from my phone during that time. Feel free to leave me a message or send me an email and I will get back in touch with you as soon as possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so patient with me. Also, please keep my son in your prayers. We will begin new tests in a week and are praying that we get to the bottom of this. Well, this wouldn't be complete without a picture. So, here is baby Sam! His mother is like a sister to me...doesn't that make me an aunt? Anyways, here he is less than 1 day old. Isn't he precious? You will be seeing lots of him in the future!

Just One...

This little girl is a photographer in the making. She needed a moment to warm up to me. So, we decided to take a picture of her mom. She then was right on it. She even took pictures of the ducks. I enjoyed the short time I spent with her and her mother. It was sooooo cold! I will have some more up soon, but this one just stuck out and I had to post asap!

Miss. Sassy

Take a look at this cutie! Oh, little girls just make me melt. We did this session in her bedroom. The lighting was perfect and she made my job so easy. Can you tell??

~RICE Update~

First of all, all sessions from 9 to 5 are booked! We are considering extending the hours until 6pm. If you are interested in booking one of the times, please let us know. Also, if you would like to be added to the waiting list in case of a cancellation...feel free to contact me. Molly came to try out some of the ideas. She was too cute! As you can see....

Senior Session

I had a session with this beautiful senior. She had amazing BLUE eyes! Miss. M., I enjoyed the afternoon with you and your family. I wish you much success in this busy life! Oh and my husband will babysit your truck anytime needed. :)

As soon as I saw this barn, I knew we had to use it.

She requested to use this blanket that her grandmother made her. It absolutely touched my heart...

Check out her ride guys!

The R Family...

This beautiful family contacted me for a session. They requested that I use a friend's house for the location. I don't think they could have chosen a better place. Each one of them was so, so nice to me. Brides, check out his website http://www.bubsvacationstation.com/! He can get you set up for a honeymoon of your dreams and even set up The Honeymoon Bridal Registry! Hey, I don't think that compares to a new set of towels?!

I caught this as mom was trying to get Miss. T to loosen up in the pictures. I loved the sweet interaction in this...

Of course, she did!

In Love and It Feels So Good

I met up with a couple that will be getting married in the summer. It is obvious just how much they care about each other. Here is a couple shots from the session...

This is my fav!

So, so cute...

RICE

Ok guys…this post contains exciting information. First of all, anyone that knows me well is aware of how much I love Mexican food. I ate so much when I was prego I was certain that Brayden would never even look at a taco in his lifetime. He surprised us, because our little man loves some RICE from any Mexican restaurant. I sometimes joke that he could live on RICE alone. Although, I know that this is not true!
RICE has begun to be a lot more to me than a Mexican side item. Kevin and I are blessed to have amazing people all around us. God has us lined up for some opportunities that we could not have imagined. He recently introduced us to RICE. What is this? This is a ministry that is devoted to Reaching India Children Essentially. I have every intention of traveling to India in 2010 as the photographer and I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity. Angela and Casey are returning to India in February 2009 and they need our help. They are destined to feed the children in India, rescue many young girls from brothels, distribute Bibles and support working pastors in many struggling villages. The expense of a trip like this could be overwhelming, especially in times like these. I know times are tough for everyone, but I am continually learning that when you are lead to do something you must act on it.
So, I know you guys are going to help me out!
Here are the yummy details:

Love That Bump :)

I am so excited about this little one on the way. She looks too cute! I don't remember ever looking cute when I was prego! I had to crop her head off of the pictures for this post due to privacy reasons, but as you can see I love that bump!

South Pittsburg Football

I had the opportunity to photograph some little guys! After the youngest age group, we had a little down time for the players to practice. I was able to grab a few shots during this time. Also, I have been contacted from a few mothers about additional orders. I will be sending another order off on Saturday, if anyone else is interested please feel free to contact me.
