Picture of the day...

Sorry... I couldn't come up with anything else... so I thought I would say Hello! face to face and post a picture of myself. Just so that you know who is on the other end of the camera and the keyboard. Not that this is a recent pic... you should see me right now.. 3 am... needing a shower... mismatched pajama's... glasses on... hair a darn mess... it's a sight let me tell ya! Anyway- just wanted to stop in to say HI! and give you a pic of the day. We are counting down the days until Thursday (brace off day for Hailey)... am having a garage sale on Saturday if anyone wants to come... LOTS of baby items for sale, tell a friend!! :)) I just hope I don't jinx myself by unloading all the excess baby clothes!

Oh.. and here's one of me and Hailey.. Aint she sweet?!

Almost there...

In one week Hailey has an appointment to get her brace off!! YAY!!! Can you believe that it has gone that fast?! Well I can because God is faithful, both in the big things and the small... and I have been praying for this six weeks to short and to be painless... and he is Awsome! She has been doing just awsome!! That is one reason that I haven't blogged too much on updates, because the only developments are really that she is using the abduction brace for leverage so that she can do head stands!!
The therapist will meet us there and start therapy right away, and weekly therapy after that. I am so excited to see how her arm moves when those muscles figure out what their new job is!! I am expecting great healing, great gains in movement!! Please pray for it and believe for it with me!! And I am excited to take her swimming and take a normal bath!! :))



Blessings,
Teresa

I hit 100!

Can you believe that I have posted 100 rambling blogs? Me neither! but I have. And I know it's been a few days, but I have something for you today. It's a picture of my beautiful sister Lisa from their visit last weekend. She asked me to take a few shots for a special project and so I used her as a test dummy to try my hand at a silhouette shot. And I think I got it!!! ... yes she has clothes on if you are wondering. And I know you can't see her face or any other details but that's the point.... just the outline... just the way it is. Tell me what you think... am thinking of trying this with a maternity session- am thinking it would show off a ripe belly just beautifully!!!






Well, have a great thursday!!

Picture of my day! ;)

I am spending the evening with little Mr. Stan the Man tonight... not in reality, but in that I am proofing his pictures from last Friday... And as I sat here working away I thought I should post this picture for you to have a picture of the day. You can never have too much of Stan the Man! and this picture just melts my heart, and his momma's too (benefits of being the photogs best friend, she's already got to see it!) So enjoy! And will have the rest up very soon (for you website stalkers out there!) :))

Blessings,
Teresa

Finally a little girl!!

As most of you know that watch for pics, I mostly have little boys to photograph. Well, yesterday Carsynn came to see me and we got some little girl action! She was so busy at 18 months that it was tough to get her to be still and even look in the direction of me and my camera- but that's ok, I kind of like those shots better anyway. She did awsome! and here are a few shots for ya!

Sneak Peek

Look who else is about to be one!! In just two more weeks little Jacob is going to be having his first birthday. Here's a sneak peek from his session on Monday!

2010 Senior Portraits

Well it's that time of year that everyone has at least one graduation to go to. It's almost summer and that means out with the old and in with the new- Seniors that is! This is the senior portraits flyer I did up this morning for our 2010 seniors. I am posting it here and if you happen to know a senior that is needing one feel free to simply save to your computer and print. Or refer them to me and I can get them all the info they might need. I am very excited to launch into senior portraits because it gives me the opportunity to be creative as I try to capture their individuality and character. So, send em my way- you never know if you send a few I may give you some studio credit... :~)

Today was like fathers day came early. I just have to share these sweet, tender moments of Haydenn and his daddy spending some quality time together. I can't decide which one is the most handsome... or which one is the most obsessive with the bow!! :)


Can I come too?


...I brought my own bow...


"Watch and learn son"...


Ok... I think I got it...


Time to retrieve the arrows


Here dad, here's the next one


baby bow hunter


Yeah, it was a good day...

Stan the Man

Guess who is going to be a year old in just a couple of weeks? You guessed it- our good friend Stanley Gunner! So, it was time for some new pics! He was so much fun yesterday- and here are some sneak peeks for ya!

I need your help...

Choosing wall portraits for my studio. Since the flood I have had the opportunity to clean out the basement and revamp my studio space. For mothers day my dear husband painted the walls for me (first coat anyway) and I have been working to make it more comfortable for my clients (more like a studio, less like a basement). So... I am going to start to purchase (here and there) some large prints of some of my best work. And I need your help in choosing. I have tried to choose, but I am overwhelmed with all the images, plus the way I see them is different than the way you all see them. So, look through the galleries, or maybe through blogs past in the sneak peeks. Or maybe you have a favorite that stands out in your mind that's not currently posted anywhere. I want ALL suggestions, all comments and all votes count!! Thanks a bunch!! :))

Oh, and I thought about posting pictures of the progress in the studio... but then I thought I would hold off until I feel it's truly done. Until then, your just going to have to make an appointment for a session and come on down and see what's new!! :)

Love and Blessings to you all,
TeReSa

Back online!!

Sorry for my absence! Have you missed me? :~) So, how was your Mothers day? Hope it was a great day for all you spectacular mothers out there! Also... hope you made it through the storm last Friday. We ended up with some uprooted trees and no power, but we were pretty lucky compared to some in this area. Those straightline winds are nothing to mess around with!! They can tear a roof off in a hurry, no tornado needed!
So, lets see what's been going on around here... The internet repair man came out today and got me back online and back to being connected to civilization... Hailey went to the surgeon last week and got her dressing off and her brace tightened up. She is three weeks post surgery and only have three weeks to go- YAY!! I am getting very excited to see what her arm will do after it is loosed!! This time has really gone fast and Hailey has adjusted well- She is doing sumersaults in the living room floor and has now started doing head/hand stands!! Yep- she is standing on her head! So, the brace isn't slowing her down too much.

Speaking of not slowing down- Hayden is walking!! He finally got tired of crawling and he is on the go!!




Another big mileston for Hayden in the last couple of weeks is that he got his first bow. He is OBSESSED with Zacks bow, and anything that has to do with hunting really. - I tell you what, it was the best $4 I will probably ever spend on this boy....




The other night I walked into the living room to see Hailey and her babies and bears strewn across the floor. She told me she had lined them up and spread them out to make snow angels... I thought it was pretty precious and was picture worthy...




Hailey after her nap the yesterday- check out the height on those bangs! She wasn't happy with me having a camera in her face when she had just woke up... (can't say I blame her :)




Here the kids are yesterday when we were outside enjoying the sunshine...




Hailey helping Daddy mow the yard...




Hayden helped by eating the grass.... :)




We also did some swinging in the sunshine.....





And that's all the pictures I have for now. I am doing a session for Stan the Man though on Friday, so check back to see his sneak peeks cause you know he's so stinkin cute that their gonna be worth the trip. Oh, and am hours away from having the wedding done, I know alot of you are ever so patiently dying to see those pictures!

Well, I'm off to Zumba- a weight loss dance class at the church.... I'll let you know how it goes, its my first night... ugh.....
