A New Addition

I have a bit of exciting news to share! My husband and I just found out that we are expecting number four in December. It was huge shock and surprise, but we're excited now that the news has sunk in. The kids are so excited that they will have another brother or sister, especially Susan who, at four years old, is very motherly. My brother and his wife are expecting their first any day now. The kids and I visited them today and Susan had so much fun playing with her baby doll in Haley's room. We look forward to the days ahead with great excitement and are so thankful for each precious blessing of ours.

Getting My Name Out

My husband and I went to local furniture store tonight looking for a sectional. The first employee that greeted us was a girl named Rachel. I asked her for her last name because a girl named Rachel email me recently for some info. It wasn't the same person, but while explaining why I asked for her last name, I told her I was a photographer. She asked my business name and I told her. She then said, "Oh, your name and business sound familiar. I've heard about you!" I was so excited and just beamed at Stephen. Thanks to whoever you are for the word of mouth!!! Please keep it up! To encourage you, I'm going to start a referal program. I'm not sure yet of the details. I'll let you know something soon. (Kristen, you'll sure be getting something! Thanks for sharing the pics of your shoot on your facebook. I think I've done shoots for 2 friends of yours!)

Maternity Shots

I'm currently still editing the photos from my second shoot, but I couldn't wait to share some of my favorites from it (and to "tease" B). I shot this one at the home of my clients, B and J.C. We wanted go outside but couldn't because of all the rain. They have a beautiful house with a precious nursery and beautifully painted walls, so we didn't have trouble finding great spots. The only problem was that my flash decided to quit working half way through, which made me very nervous, but the pictures turned out well inspite of the malfunction. B. and J.C. I can't wait for you guys to see the pictures!

Little A.

I had 2 shoots this weekend. The first was of sweet little A. She's almost 3 weeks old and is so calm and sweet. I've been getting the itch for another baby since my niece is almost here. I can't wait. I wish I'd had more time just to hold her, but I had my sister in law's shower to go to after the shoot. Thanks A. and V. for allowing me to spend this time with your family. I truly enjoyed it!

I found this really great fur rug at TJ Max. I've been looking for the perfect opportunity to use it.

Funny Face

I was scanning through my pictures last night looking for one to put on my flickr site (http://www.flickr.com/photos/34975895@N07/) when I came across this one of my daughter. This is one of my most favorite pictures! I took it when I was just beginning to get into photography. I showed the kids and they had fits of laughter over it! Susan was such a happy baby and always had a smile on her face!
