More of my Benton Senior Rep...Jessica!

Thanks to Lori for recommending my Senior Rep program (that she apparently read about here on the blog!) to Jessica. I can tell she is going to be a fabulous Senior Rep for me in Benton! Here's Jessica:Thank you Jessica for being willing to be a Senior Rep! I'll get your stuff to you asap! :)

A Million Sneak Peeks!...just kidding, it's just five...

I have a ton of sessions I'm working on (not to mention a wedding), but I thought I would get little peeks up for everyone who is currently waiting to get proofs back. There are a lot, so hang in there! First, a super cute Senior Rep for Benton, Jessica:A few of Jessica & Steve's wedding (lots of gals with my name lately! :)
Two little cute pies, Carrigan & Lilly:
The Jenkins Family & Baby Leila:
And last but not least, my sister Alisa and her boyfriend, Cody. My poor family always has to wait the longest time to get their proofs! I promise I'll get to them eventually! :)
All of you watch for more coming soon!!
Everyone have a fun day with your Mom tomorrow for Mother's Day!! :)

Website Update

Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know (especially prospective Seniors) that I just updated the senior section on my flash website. It's called "Independence" and it now has fresh images for you to enjoy! I haven't updated my dial-up site in a REALLY long time, so I really prefer that you look to the flash site if possible. And for the newest pictures, the blog right here is the best place to see images from current sessions.
I actually have an upgraded version of the flash site I currently use that I need to work on, it's just hard to find time! The new version has 10 galleries instead of the 8 I currently have, unlimited gallery photos (that's the best part!), and I think a slideshow at the beginning of each gallery. I know, I really need to get it set up...I will make an announcement if I ever manage to get it done. Maybe it's time to call in my computer/web guru (aka my brother Troy) to do the website update for me!
Also, I want to encourage those who read my blog to leave me a comment! I LOVE to hear who is reading and what you think about stuff, so leave a comment, leave your name, or even leave your email address...let's get to know one another! Leaving a comment is easy! At the bottom of each post, see where it says "# Comments"? Click on it, and it will take you to the comment box. You don't have to sign up, you can just choose to leave your comment anonymously and just sign your name so I know who you are!
Thanks!

Senior Rep Pics & Cohen's 3 months old today!

I have another gorgeous Senior rep to show off! After rescheduling her session about 3 times, we finally had a beautiful day for her pictures, and a new location that I had never used before! Which always makes me happy, of course! Here's Paige:




She's so cute, and has the prettiest eyes ever! I have so much fun photographing Seniors! Thanks Paige for doing the Senior Rep thing! I'll have your stuff to you soon!

Today Cohen is 3 months old! I can't believe how fast it's going. He can already push himself backwards with his legs if you lay him on the floor, and he will push until his head runs into something and he has to stop. Then he usually cries about bumping his head! When I was taking some pictures of him last night, I was propping him up on his elbows, and he rolled from his tummy to his back twice. And he has been drooling a lot the past few days, which is making me wonder if he's getting ready to cut some teeth! I didn't think he was old enough for any of that yet! Here are a few of Cohen's 3 month pictures (amazingly early instead of late for once!)

I'm going to make a him a storyboard, but I haven't had time yet. I'll post it when I do.
Have a great evening!

Holly's Belly & family stuff

The sneak peek from Saturday is from this session that I just finished up! I love belly pics, these turned out so cute!




Super congratulations you two! I'll be praying everything goes great when the little guy gets here! Can't wait to meet him! :)

I just realized I didn't talk about my Nashville trip last weekend at all! We had a lot of fun shopping and eating out and going to garage sales. Nashville has great sales, and there were about a million in the newspaper, but we could only go to the ones that I knew the area they were in! And it has been quite awhile since I have lived there (almost 7 years) so we just stuck to what I knew. We packed my Yukon completely full of stuff, and actually had to leave some of it there in the dorm with my sister!(I know, that's awful, but she doesn't have a roommate at least and she comes home this week anyway!) Cohen did great being drug around everywhere, but I think Maddie Kate got a little bored of the shopping! Ava had a great weekend staying home with her Daddy though! She got to go to the circus on Friday night, and he took her fishing on Saturday. All week, she has been talking about the elephants, clowns, and riding on a horse. I left my point and shoot with Johnny and he took some of Ava's adventures so I could see what she did while I was gone.I LOVE these ones of her fishing! They are adorable! Even if she has insane hair because I wasn't there to fix it! :)

This weekend was a busy one too, our youth group had a concession stand at an auction, and boy, it was a lot of work (especially for Johnny!) He had lots of good help though, and it went well. Johnny's parents came down for the day, so my kids spent the day with Grandma! I was running back and forth from the auction to my session, to a few of the town wide yard sales we had that day, to the auction, and then to get the kids. My father-in-law bid on a few items for me at the auction, and I have a few new props and a very old Brownie camera! I have been collecting cameras for quite awhile, and this one is probably the oldest one I have. I am planning to display them someday when I get a studio!
I'll leave you with this picture of Cohen wearing Mr. Potato Head glasses...poor kid! :)
Hope everyone has a great Monday, enjoy the beautiful weather!

Coming soon...

I am done with Laina's images, so I thought I'd blog a few more to show off. The photos turned out so wonderfully, I had a hard time choosing favorites! I am always glad when that happens though!
