The Beautiful Emily

A big Thank You to Emily for allowing me to get creative again. I really enjoyed photographing Emily. She really Rocked this. Thank you to my friend Noelle for giving me some creative ideas on the editing. Here are just a few of my favorites. Thanks again Emily!!!!

What happens when friends let friends do a photoshoot!!!

WE HAD A BLAST. Ok so, no I am not normally all for being in front of a camera, hintz being a photographer I don't have to worry about being in front of it because I am always the one behind it!!! Well with the new year and all I want to venture out alittle more with my make up skills and such. So what do you do on a Saturday that is only 10degrees outside and you have no model.. You get one of you bff's and you set up your lights and just have her help you. It was funny. OMG my living room was a mess. We had make up all over the floor. Then I had so much lip stick on I couldn't move my lips without them feeling like they were going to crack. Also hintz all the weird things I seem to be doing with my lips in the photos!!! lol

So, here are a few of my favorits. Now I did not actually take these pictures.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Yes, It's my birthday. Today I turned 33 years old. Not old but not 23 anymore that's for sure. I have always been big into birthdays. I believe you should always be proud and thankful for your birthday. You're not promised the next one that's for sure. Soooo, my day started out my daughter wakes me up with "Happy Birthday Mommy" Then, my husband gives my Pink Roses. Then, breakfast with my sister from another mister.. ha ha my friend April. Then, I went to lunch with some fabulous photographer friends of mine at Chili's. I LOVE and I mean LOVE Strawberry Cake!!! I take that back I LOVE anything with strawberries!!! Anyway so my daughter wants to make me a cake this year. So, I agreed to let your mix it and decorate it. I think she was more interested in licking the batter bowl, I don't blame her either... YUM

Anyway, here are a few pictures of my flowers and my cake which was excellent!!

It's time to start planning for Valentines!!!!!!

me and my angel

Was playing around with the camera before we went to dinner tonight and got a few cute snap shots. Everyday she grows and grows into such a beautiful little girl. I could seriously take a picture of her everyday. She is the love of my life.

Some of my favorites form 2008

Got this idea from one of my favorite bloggers and I thought it was a pretty cool idea. These are some of my favorites from 2008!! It was really hard to choose them and I don't think I got them all in there but these are deff a few of my favorites.
Also, a HUGE THANK YOU to all of my 2008 clients, you have all been so wonderful.
I am so excited about all the up coming 2009 clients.

Welcome to 2009!!!

Well, once again it's a new year. Time for everyone to make their resolutions, time for everyone to feel good about a brand new start. Well at least some people anyway.
I don't set resolutions, simply because I just don't see myself getting all caught up in the mess of it. But what I am going to do this year is make a list. Make a list of things that I want to do before the end of this brand new year.

Of course it would be hard to make that list all at once so every once in a while I may have to ad to the list. So for now here is what I have.

Things to accomplish before the end of 2009!!!!!

* Feel (not touch) but really feel something extraordinary

* Take a photograph of something really unbelievable

* Run an entire mile (without dying that is)

* Make someones Day

* Buy a beautiful peace of Art

* Set aside a day to be by myself with a box of Kleenex and do nothing all day but watch Hopeless Romantic movies
