A Cutie...

Wanted to share little Austin!

I Did Not Drop off the Face of the Earth...

I have been piled under images of some pretty darn, cute kids! And now, we are finishing up our Thanksgiving Vacation with my in laws at the wonderful Walt Disney World! Very interesting trip, it has been. Bad timing for me, but how do you turn down spending time with your family at the most MAGICAL place on Earth??? Anyways, the computer came with me, but the downtime I had planned never happened. So, I will be pulling some all nighters this weekend!! Thanks to all for your patience with me. We are home early tomorrow, so if anyone needs anything....
PS- i have not touched my camera this trip! Just savored all moments:) Sorry!!

EEEK!!

I have just found out that our new invoice emails MIGHT go to SPAM. If you have placed an order on the PhotoCart BEFORE today and have not received a final invoice- please check your SPAM and let me know if it is there or if you need a new one. I will email everyone individually tomorrow morning. I am working away and have no pics to show tonight. :( I had a wonderful weekend with my fam (I am sure you have seen the pics on FB- many cousins- all armed with cameras ready to embarrass me!) I came home and that night Lily woke up throwing up. YAY. So far, it has not spread. WHEW!! Back to work. Thanks to everyone for their amazing patience!

I'm Off...

I will be returning late Sunday. Going to spend some quality time with some of the gals in the fam! Will miss the ones not with us:) I have been very busy this week! Here are 2 troublemakers I had to deal with!!!


BOTH BORN EARLY!
If you need assistance, just call me and leave me a VM. I will be checking messages.

Peeking in to Say Hello...

I am about to go to bed, but I wanted to let everyone know a few things. I will be gone the majority of the day tomorrow traveling to a newborn shoot (to see sweet baby Cash!) and will be working at night to get prepared for my trip. I will be gone Thurs- Sun. If you need anything- feel free to call and leave me a message. I am going to try and check email, but I am not sure who will have a laptop and If we have a signal. If you have your gallery and are wanting to do Holiday cards- PLEASE send me your ideas asap. This will help with the "flood!" Desi comes once a week to help me out and these are something we can tackle in that time. I have a new product announcement when I get back (or if I can get a pic of it tomorrow) SO excited!!! A GREAT idea for grandparents. My mom went NUTS over it! Simple, but perfect. I think that is all... hmmm... Oh- still running a little over 3 wks on galleries. I have had so many family shoots and those take much longer to edit. Crazy time of year! Speaking of families- we finally got our fam pic made. I set it up and my sis took the shots. She did great! I am very excited bc we already have a big one on the mantle. It is a little HUGE, but I think we will like it:) Off to bed!!

Happy Fall...

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! Our weekend was packed full. I had no shoots scheduled since my parents were in town visiting. I was spoiled by good food, good company and loads of babysitting!!! Scott had to work, so I took the kids out with friends in their witch and shark (SUPER CUTE!) outfits. We got off to a late start, so that means we only hide the candy for a month! Then, I (me!!!) got to have some Halloween fun! So, i dressed in my Halloween costume ( a very lazily put together jockey- complete with a polo shirt, leggings, boots and a hot pink boy cut pair of JOCKEY undies on top of my pants!!) They stayed on until people understood my wacky costume and then I was a girl wearing leggings and a polo shirt:) Anyways, I had a blast! Scott got off work and surprised me around 1:00 and I hit the hay about 5:00 am!!! Go me! Since I think I am super cool now, I might try a little dancing out with my cousins when I visit this weekend. (that is if my legs are not still sore!) So, the dreaded holiday was fun for me. End of story. Aside from visiting with my family and acting like a teenager, I am busy editing away on galleries. I need to get back to it, bc I have 3 more shoots bf I head to see all my girls in SC!! Here are some random peeks:

Sometimes a Stare is as Precious...

as a smile...

Thank Goodness for Some SUN...

I am still here! I have had so many SUPER shoots lately - as the weather permits. Today was gorgeous! I got a little excited about the light this evening and decided my blog needed a fall header. So up goes my friend, Jessi's adorable kids! I know it is a little big, but I am about done for the night. Long day. Maybe I will fix it tomorrow. I hope all of you are doing well- enjoying the fun fall. My parents are headed down tomorrow and we are all excited to hang and enjoy some good ol' Halloween activities. I MIGHT post my costume for the party i am going to. I am not a big Halloween fan, so for me to dress up.... Oh well! I need a little break from the ordinary- right? Until next time.... I leave you with one of Baby Planners who has grown up on me:( Precious, Trent-

Holiday Time...

I am feeling the crunch!! For those of you have never been a client of a custom photographer ~ this time of the year from us is full of emails, editing, phone calls, designing cards, no sleep and juggling our families:) Starting today, I am going to be very strict on extending gallery times and payments. Christmas is approaching fast! With that in mind:
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR GALLERY AND WANT HOLIDAY CARDS- PLEASE CONSIDER SENDING ME YOUR IDEAS TONIGHT! MY HELPER IS COMING TOMORROW AND I WOULD LOVE-LOVE TO HAVE SOME CARDS FOR HER TO WORK ON AND GET AHEAD!!! PRETTY PLEASE:) REMEMBER, ALL CARDS ARE VERY CHANGEABLE. SO SEND ALL IDEAS AND REMEMBER TO INCLUDE WHAT YOU WANT IT TO SAY. THANKS SO MUCH!

**OH, AND I AM SURE THAT YOU HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM NOT POSTING PEEKS. I HAVE SO MANY GALLERIES ON MY PLATE, I NEED TO FOCUS ON THAT. WHEN I DO POST, I WILL TRY TO INCLUDE A PIC- THANKS!**
HERE IS ONE OF MY RECENT FAVES...

Please Vote..

My mother in law has entered a picture of Lily dressed as Jasmine for a Disney costume contest for Facebook. The winner gets Disney $$$. Since we are going in Nov with no extra $$, that would be sooo awesome! I think she has to get alot of votes to go through to the judging. There are many levels of prizes, so maybe we can hit one! Thanks for your help! Here is the link- I think you have to be logged in on FB

THE IMAGE IS NAMED AWAITING ALADDIN BY SUSAN SIMONS. GENIE AND JASMINE ARE IN IT WITH LILY.
Oh- and I am working SUPER hard editing right now. My orders have been backed up bc I am still processing orders from the spring and summer. The new shopping cart allows 3 weeks for you to order. Please note that Chrsitmas is approaching faster than you know- it is freaking me out:) So, please get your order in on time (and payment!) Since i am behind on posting peeks- I might as well throw in one from today. Cannot believe how darn cute little Colby is!!!
