Sisters

A shot of two sisters that I photographed yesterday. Just as sweet as could be.

Man, I love that boy to pieces!

Mini's

It has been a busy week full of errands and photography. I am excited about some of the up coming shoots I have lined up in the next couple of weeks to include one wedding, one vow renewal, one new born, and one engagement session.

On top of everything else, I am managing my one woman show here at the house tending to three children - two whom are sick, and two doggies.

The past couple of shoots I have had besides the darling Monaco family, I am unable to post for viewing, so of course to show you my latest find in thank you's, I have used my boys as examples for my mini cards -

I am excited about these sweet additions for my clients. I will try to write more later, but for now I will leave you with another photo of my precious darlings from this morning.

The Monacos

I had the pleasure of photographing a sweet family on mothers day. Here are a few of the photos from the shoot.

The Sweetest Kiss

This couple is one of the cutest couples I have ever seen in my life! They also happen to be some of our best friends, Jennifer and Jeremy. I am gearing up for a photo shoot in a week and they were so awesome in letting me use them as "Test" subjects so I could make sure to get my lighting right. Being as it was ten o'clock at night when these were taken, Jeremy was incredibly sleepy, but stuck to it like a champ. I thank them both for letting me use them for test purposes. We did manage to get out a few adorable shots that show there true feelings and love for one another. Candid is always best. Completely priceless!

As you can see, my lighting is still not perfect, so I will have to mess with it again tomorrow. I am hoping to be able to take my little ones birthday photos tomorrow as well. Looks like I am going to have to break out my light meter!

Day 15 Morning

I am here, I have not disappeared, I have just been preoccupied and busy with, well, life in general. I have decided to start taking on clients again while my husband is away. It has been a busy past two weeks, and I have to say, I am ready for a hot bath, another great book recommended to me from my husband, and some alone time. I just finished the book "The Noticer" last night. I rarely find the time to read, and when there is time to read, it always seems as if I have a million other things to do - to include sleep. I am so glad that I did not object to my husbands recommendation this time. It was pure delight, eye opening, and left me wanting more. I am almost begging him to send another wonderful recommendation my way.

Yesterday was such a nice day. I had some good friends come over and we all cooked up some bbq, (veggie burgers for me), conversation, and great company. We had all the neighbors out chatting it up with my friends and I, and all the kids running here, there, and every where. I am happy to say that when bed time came for them all, they were out like a light with no complaint. I am looking forward to another day like that. As any mother who is home a majority of the time would know - adult conversation is priceless.

Today we are expecting company - The Monaco's, for a play date. Its time for me to hurry up with some house hold chores this morning, and get our house in decent looking appearance. The down stairs usually always looks wonderful, but because of my knee, the upstairs has been untouched in weeks. Now, I have a good reason to go and do a lot of "touching" up there. In a way it almost seems pointless to clean on a daily basis up there between my babies, Jordan, and all his friends that are up there "playing fort", "playing war", or just taking every material object they can think of out of its rightful place and introducing it to its new home "floor".

(I am hoping, my sweet man, that you are able to watch this video in this format)
