My Kids and I
I'm having a really hard time keeping up with this, but I'm determined. I still have last week and this week's to download and post to be caught up. Hopefully one of these days I will be caught up again!
And Trevor must have took 20 pictures and this was the most in focus one...lol.
And finally we have Madi and Kali - 9.5 month old twins. These two were just adorable and so well-behaved. They weren't too sure about the big black box in front of their face, but warmed up to me quickly and were more than willing to show off their dancing skills...so cute! And those pony tails just make me smile.
Ben also attended the Portrait Party. He is 3.5 years old and so cute and stylish! He took me all over the yard to get pictures. It was nice to photograph a 3 year old who would actually look at me. Not used to that since Teagun does not like the camera right now!
Up next from the portrait party is Dane. He is 2 years old and just all boy - playing with his tractor, climbing trees, and playing in the dirt. He was so much fun!
Monday evening, I had the great pleasure of photographing several kids/families at a Portrait Party. We had a lot of fun and got some great pictures.
First up is Grace. She is 7.5 months old and just so sweet. And look at her beautiful blue eyes - love them!
Teagun had his first day of preschool today. It went really well. I realized, though, that I need to be a little more organized in the mornings now to be able to get myself and two kids dressed, fed and out the door on time. Not used to that! But we made it and he was really excited and did great getting dropped off (me too!) and said he had a lot of fun.
Here is a picture I took real quick with my point-n-shoot this morning as we were headed out the door. He was not happy I was making him stop to take a picture!
I had the great pleasure of photographing Rick and Gina's wedding this weekend. It was at a beautiful location in North Idaho - the Heartland Ranch. Such a beautiful day and gorgoeous wedding! Thank you for letting me be a part of it.
I had a session this morning with Ariel. She is such a gorgeous pregnant lady. Thanks for letting me drag you around the streets of downtown this morning. It was great to meet you!
Check out those cute shoes!

Isn't she too young for drama?!?! A few outtakes from the pictures I took this weekend of Emery. She kept doing this totally fake cry trying to get me to stop. It was cracking me up (is that mean that I just laugh at her??). :)
and the "can this be any more boring, mom?" look...
Today is Emery's 9 month birthday {sigh} - she is growing up way to fast!
- She still has no teeth
- She is sleeping MUCH better
- She is still a mommy's girl...she has even started leaning away and hugging her arms around my neck when someone else tries to take her. I secretly (or not so secretly now) love it! :)
- She clapped for the first time a couple days ago.
- She said "Momma" for the first time this week too - she was crying looking for me and said it. Trevor even heard it, thankfully. However, the next day I was telling my sister about it and was trying to get Emery to say it again, and she said clear as day, "Da-Da" - little stinker! I'm definitely counting "momma" as her first word though!
We all just love her death and are so thankful to have her in our life!
A few pictures I took of her yesterday.
It's that time again to start thinking about your holiday portraits and cards. Christmas will be here before you know it!
I am going to be holding a couple days worth of Holiday Mini-Sessions in October, which will include a short session, portrait prints, and custom holiday cards. You will get custom portraits to give as gifts and your holiday cards to send to family and friends. More detailed information coming next week. Space will be very limited, so if you think you might be interested, please email me and I will get you on the list.
Here are just a couple of the card designs I will be offering this year - gorgeous folded cards that will display between 1-4 of your favorite pictures from the session!
Last week Teagun had a shirt on that said "Rock Star". I was telling him what his shirt said and he told me he'd better play his guitar then. I think I should have grabbed our video camera instead of my regular camera...it was pretty cute!

in the dark ages. lol...j/k!
Here is the link to the Twilight Series. Holli - if you want to read them, just get the first one and then I have the last three you can borrow! :)
And HERE is the google reader link (if that link doesn't work, just google "google reader". I think you might need a gmail account, but not sure on that??? But you just subscribe to blogs you like to read and it automatically lets you know when they have been updated. So no wasted time having to go to individual blogs to see if they have been updated anymore - love it!
And a picture of Emery since this is a photo blog afterall!
I'm jumping on the "10 on Tuesday" bandwagon...this week anyway. I'll see if I can even get through 10 today first.
1. Teagun started swimming lessons yesterday. I seriously almost teared up when he walked away with his class to get in the water - he looked so big and independent, but he is still my baby. I am *not* that mom, so it totally caught me off-guard.
2. He has preschool orientation next week. I'm guessing by my reaction to swim lessons, that the first day of preschool might be kind of rough on me...unless he acts like he needs me. I think that is what got me yesterday, he was just like, "see ya later, mom!" and turned around and walked away without thinking twice about it. He went to daycare full time for 2.5 years and he loved it and I loved it...I seriously have no idea where this is coming from. But we both are super excited for school to start! Now I don't have to feel guilty that I am "dumbifying" (like that word??) my child...lol!
3. Next month is mine and Trevor's 15 year "dating" anniversary. I'm trying to get him to go on a mini-vacation, but he is fighting it of course. Any good recommendations??? I was thinking of a short cruise out of California, but haven't looked into it all that much.
4. I have a girlfriends long weekend planned in October with two of my very good friends from high school. We all turned 30 this year, so we are all flying to San Diego and hanging out and going to the spa - can't wait!
5. Yes, Trevor endlessly complains about all my trips and leaving him at home, but then when I try to plan a trip with him, he doesn't act like he wants to go, so it is his own fault! :)
6. I jumped on the Twilight book bandwagon and am loving it! I am not a big reader - I honestly can't remember the last book I read, but I have read almost 3books in two weeks now. Love them. Yes, they are geared toward young teenagers, but I don't care! The third book is taking me a long time, but I think it is because I know I will only have one book left and then it will be all over! So I need book recommendations - preferably series books, but I am open to single books too!
7. Look how big he is getting. I get asked all the time if he is four...makes me kind of sad because I'm sure people expect him to act a little older than he really is then. But he is so darn sweet and cute (minus the whining and talking back).
8. And my Miss. Piggy. Seriously, this girl will eat anything and everything and can't get enough.
9. I love Google Reader. I don't know how I lived without it! I love reading blogs and am subscribed to almost 150 now and can keep up with relative ease. If you don't use it, you should (just be sure to still click into my blog and leave me a comment every now and again still!!!) :)
10. I am putting together information on my Holiday Mini-Sessions I will be offering, so be on the look-out for that in the next week or so! Yes, it is only August, but Christmas will be here before you know it and you will then already have your cards ready to go and pictures to give as gifts!!!
