Boudoirs Are Back!

Awe yeah. They are back again. More boudoirs. Unfortunately I'm not able to reveal her face and stunning eyes, but she is letting me post everything else in the photos. Call today to book a session and take advantage of the boudoir special!I thought this was a great idea.

Her eyes are KILLER in this shot and I think they make the photo, but at least you get the idea.

Does it look like I work for Microsoft?

Not at all in my job description. Saturday I spent the better half of my day replacing a broken laptop screen. Successfully. Sunday, my hard drive wasn't connecting. Spent two hours on the phone with Western Digital troubleshooting. Unsuccessful. This was not a part of the deal folks! Talk about a damper on productivity. I need an IT support team for my business. Enough about that- here are some photos I'm working on today...

These are from our trip to Disney back in April. Looking back at these images has helped to relieve just a little bit of stress from my weekend as a computer repair man.Splash MountainSpectro Magic Light Show.Cinderella's Castle.I love the reflection in the water. Got this printed big for Maya's room. 16x24I think I took a photo with every color of the castle and firework combination - because that's how I roll.

Cirque Du Soleil. Amazing.

Loved the Animal Kingdom.

Maya, not a big fan of the big stuffed animals.

One thing I appreciated about Disney was their attention to detail.A few of the details at Animal Kingdom. That's right, I shot it like the details at a wedding. I roll like THAT too. Safari ride in the pouring rain.

Strangely enough, I think this is my favorite shot from the whole trip.

AJ is a water lover- so we spent some time at Blizzard Beach and here, at the Typhoon Lagoon.

It's fun to look back on good times, especially during times of stress.

Sam

The last couple of days have been a roller coaster of emotions, from frustration, to excitement, and now grief. On August 30th last year I went with my parents to pick up their new puppy, Sam. Some of you may remember the blog I wrote about bring him home. I did these studio shots of him with the kids while he was little, and now they are just about all we have to remember him by. He had been getting into a lot of trouble chewing things up and eating them. I specifically recall that he ate the window light candles off the sills in the kitchen the other week and even ate the electrical chord and glass light bulbs. When my parents took Sam in to be operated on, they found 18 inches of perforated intestine. With heavy hearts, my parents decided to just keep him sleeping peacefully. There was a small chance that he may have recovered by removing the damaged intestine, but were warned that it most likely would NOT be long until they found themselves in the same situation with how much Sam loved to chew things up. Should not be long before I have new puppy photos to share with you because my parents will always have a place in their hearts set aside for the love of a dog.

AJ's First Day

The window was still dark when I heard him fastening the velcro on his sneakers. Moments later he stood next to my bed in his brand new Wall-e shirt and bright orange shorts that I could see even though the sun yet to rise, asking when it would be time to leave for the day. He was completely ready to go before I had even gotten up. Yesterday was AJ's first day of Kindergarten. We dropped Maya off at day care and headed to Letort Elementry School to meet Miss. McCauley for the first time. They do a staggered start, so his first full day will be Thursday. That is when he'll be ridding the bus for the first time.
He started out as Mr. Grumpy Pants refusing to pose for pictures. Sorry buddy. These milestones cannot go uncaptured!

Miss. McCauley is sitting on the left. His first work sheet. Feel the excitement.

I hope to capture a few shots of him getting on the bus for the first time tomorrow. We'll try to find a smile by then.
