A New Year...

Podering upon the new year, I wanted to think about what is important to me and the new year's resolutions.. Going though all my pictures I came across a couple pictures that I would love to share with you, Although they are a bit patriotic. The one above of the flag was shot with a 35 mm camera and was developed and this was the end result. There is not any digital enhancements done on this picture.

Another that was brought to my heart was the one called God's hands (below).

This one was taken on the side of the road. All I can say is that I was in awe for several hours after seeing it. Maybe its just me being in my emotional stage of pregnacny but I thought I would share anyway.. I hope you enjoy seeing these and to all of you, have a happy and safe new year.... See you in 2008...

A Makeover..

I was going through my christmas pictures and found this one of Alexis putting lipstick on her pepaw.. Pepaw wasn't too keen on the idea but played along... She enjoyed it... Watch out when your asleep daddy...

A Jolly Christmas Morning...

Christmas morning was so fun in our house this year. It was the first year Alexis understood how santa worked, When she woke up she forgot it was christmas unitl she saw Santas cookies eaten. Alexis was in her flamingo jammies (her favorites...she would live in them if I let her)..... And I just loved her mischevious look in this picture... She opened all her presents and started looking around to see which present to open next....Hmmmm... we hope you had a Merry Christmas with y0u and yours......

My "Lil' Brother...

On Christmas day my lil brother asked me to take a photo of him for my partents. I thought I would share...I am still working on my photography hobby and hoping for a new camera soon..

So this is my "lil" brother by 8 years and he is still so much taller than me... I am kinda the runt of the family... He is 6'1. My older brother by 15 months is 6' and my dad is 6'1. So I am thinking.. Why am I 5'4??? That is my thought for the day... My mom isn't so short either.. shes 5'8 so I guess I will just have to be the shorty of the family.... Of couse my hubby likes it cause he's only 5'10... But my daughter must get the height from my family since she's 3 and is off the growth chart...

Baby Update...This is so neat..

Announcing Sydney Johanna...

We have found out its a.. GIRL.. We decided to let our oldest daughter Alexis choose the name. Since the day she found out we were going to have a baby she has been calling it baby Sydney... even before we found out what it was... So needless to say we are going to keep the name and her name will be....

Sydney Johanna....

where has she been??? ..

I hope you had a great "Christ"mas season... Mine was very busy... I felt like I should let you know where I have been...




I got a gig doing some school photos and thought it would only take a short while... Well, it took a bit longer... But needless to say I enjoyed it greatly and a lot of families were delighted that they got to pass out their children's photos at Christmas...I am still in a learning arena but everyone was happy... I love how this picture turned out as I put a bit of pink into it for a sweeter look. I would like to say a BIG thank you to all the families who allowed me to photograph their children this holiday.

Now I hope to be getting back into the swing of things soon:) I hope you haven't missed me too much...Smooches..
