Excited about Props!!!!

I have more new props that I'm so excited about. One is an antique hand carved rocking horse with a leather saddle. It's beautiful and will be so adorable in your childs images. Another one is a sleigh for those oh so adorable images of your childs holiday pictures. There is also more exciting news but I'm not wanting to spill the beans on it yet. I will be announcing it soon!

Happy Easter 2009

I hope everyone is enjoying a pleasant Easter today. We took some shots of the girls with the Easter eggs and wanted to share. Kissy is 19 weeks old and Natasha is almost 20 weeks old. I'm getting better with their top knots but their not any better at cooperating while were getting them done.

Baby Chicks

I found a farm nearby that was allowing people to temporarily "adopt" a couple baby chicks. We thought the little one would have fun taking care of them for a while and then we get to give them back. Woo Hoo! I'm not crazy about chickens so I'm happy to give them back. When I was little my grandparents had them and they always pecked me so I have NO desire to raise them. The little ones are cute but when they get big I'm done. Don't worry, the little one knows and is happy they are letting them come to our house "for a vacation". She gets to be their "momma" for a little while so she's happy. They also had some kids that she got to pet and hold. They were really cute too! There little tails would get to wagging and they would hop and have a good time. The little one sure enjoyed playing with them.

Our new puppies.

I've had requests to get some pictures of the puppies on the blog. I have been horrible about keeping my blog updated. I'm so sorry.

We got Kissy in January and we loved her SO much we had to get her a playmate. We got Natasha in February. They are not littermates but are very close in age. They both have great fun together but have different personalities. Kissy is very outgoing and has no fear. It's as if she thinks she's a Great Dane all wrapped up in a tiny little body. Natasha is camera shy and reserved with people or places she's not familiar with. She's still tough enough to keep our "Great Dane" in line though. They both have a lot of love to share and share it regularly. They are so much fun! In the picture below Kissy is the top left and Natasha is the top right. They were 15 weeks old in these pictures.

Our Strong Willed Child

The 4 year old was watching care bears on tv in the bedroom tonight. She came out for a brief moment and I had to stop her in her tracks. I saw she had something on her face so I asked her what she had done to which she replied "nothing". She wholeheartedly felt I would believe her as she looked at me. Now mind you she looked like the tin man from the wizard of oz. My mind was racing trying to figure out what it was she had gotten into while at the same time running to the bathroom to run some water so we could get whatever it was washed off of her. While the water was running I grabbed my phone to take a picture so we could show daddy what she had done while he was gone. Not only was her face covered but her arms and legs were as well where her shirt and pants didn't cover skin. My baby was SILVER!

During the bath I figured it must have been a stamp pad from the craft box in the closet. After the bath was over we went to the bedroom to locate it. Sure enough it was laying on the floor. She had pulled the ink pad part out and used it like a make-up sponge and brushed it over her entire face, arms, and legs.

It really is funny now but at the time I couldn't count to 10 fast enough. Well, that's another story to add to the memory book. Our strong willed child definately keeps us on our toes.

Jeremiah

It was such a treat to photograph Jeremiah again. He's got some great expressions and a great smile. For Halloween he's going to be a frog prince so his momma brought along his costume so we could capture the look. He was so stinking cute! Check out some of the images from his session below.

Matthew and Jadyn

This session was so much fun! There are so many images that are just too cute for words! It was impossible for me to narrow it down to a reasonable amount of images to share here. I'm making a book from their session so I decided to select a collage for each of them and post whatever came up.
