Ohhhhhhhhhhh Donnie!

Dec 29th 2008 | Categories - Fun Stuff | No Comments »

So 2 days before we left for Christmas our computer started to act up. We didn’t worry much though bc we had other things on our mind. Anywho, we have returned to a BROKEN computer!!! We can’t even pull open a browser. So Don (darling DH) has been working on it for 2 days now. Running anti-virus software left and right with no luck! I’m not sad because I have told him numerous times that it is 6 years old which translates into “ancient” in technology years.

 PS - I am writing this from my work computer.

 So I say “Ohhhh Donnie, time for a new computer!”

The only thing I am worried about is all the programs I have on there for photography. YIKES!!!! Hopefully we can safe those so that we can put them into our new hard drive. We haven’t gotten it yet, but Don has come to the realization that we need one. Desperately!!! So hopefully I am back in action in a few days! YIPPEE!!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!!! We had a busy one & it will probably be worse next year once “the babe” is here. Can’t wait though!

Photo Sessions for 2009

Dec 13th 2008 | Categories - Fun Stuff | 2 Comments »

I have had a few past clients as well as potentially new clients ask me about doing photo sessions next year. So I figured I would answer some of these on the site in case anyone else inquires! :-D

*Are you still going to do photography in 2009? - ABSOLUTELY!! I love it too much to just quit because our family is growing! There are so many ideas I have in my head and I can’t wait to test them out!

*How soon are you going to start booking sessions after the baby is born?  - Honestly, this question is a hard one to answer since this is our first child and we don’t know what to expect. haha *MY PLAN* is to book sessions 6 to 8 weeks after the babe is born. Like a normal maternity leave.

*Are you booking sessions before your due date? - Yes, some, very few. I already have some in the works. Usually January till the end of March is when Don and I do a lot of our traveling. So that is the main reason for not booking too many.
*Are you going to have an Easter Special in 2009? - No, not this time. That is going to cut it too close to babe time and honestly, I think I will be about the size of a whale anyway. Who really wants to see me waddling around their house or outside. It would be like watching Violet from Willy Wonka, I would have to ask clients to roll me to a different area.
*Are you the coolest out of you 4 girls(me and my 3 sisters)? - Coolest? Maybe…? I’m definitely the awesomest though! (Yes that is a word! www.urbandictionary.com )
Here are some upcoming events/specials for 2009
*In February 2009 I will hold a “Fresh Face” contest! More info to follow but at the end of it all the winner receives a free session and parents receive a free 11×14. :-D
*After the babe is born I will have a BIG SPECIAL *DELIVERY* …umm…SPECIAL! for new or past clients!
Ok I hope that answered every one’s questions. Have a great weekend!

Our christmas card, that might not go out this year….

I seem to have fallen off the “Christmas Card” wagon.  I have been a bit busy with orders and now that they are all finished. I’m content just maxin-n-relaxin. (I’m not sure who came up with this phrase but I do love it!)  So just in case we do not get our christmas cards out this year, here is our own little “sneak peek”!

Thank you to our friend Chelsea who came over and snapped these pictures for me! I mean us, bc Don would have been very  upset if we didn’t get these. haha
I promise to start blogging more. PROMISE!
