Just popping in...
to let you all know that I only have 1 remaining spot left open for 2010. I have an afternoon session available on Saturday December 4th. The photos won't be available until after the new year but I can still work in the session. After that my next opening isn't until Saturday January 8th 2011. Can you believe 2011 is almost upon us? I remember the whole Y2K fiasco like it was yesterday and now fast forward and it's almost 2011. WOW!!
Since a blog post is meaningless without a photo here is one from a recent fall family session. Most of the photos from this session were all taken in the clients own home/yard. In case I haven't mentioned it here before (which I'm sure I have but I like to repeat myself) I LOVE LOVE LOVE to come shoot in your own home enviroment. The kids are always so comfortable and relaxed when they are at home with their own things. I have yet to shoot a session in a clients home where I didn't absolutely love every image from the session. If this is something you are interested in call, email or contact me on Facebook and we can discuss the details.

"In between" photo of the week...
I know it's been a while but boy do I have a FABULOUS photo to make up for taking so long!! Let me give you the story and the reason it is an "in between" photo. I'm sure you all know that my husband and I work A LOT. With that being said I reserve Sundays for my family. I did however make an exception for a fabulous couple a few weeks ago. We got the plans set and everything was ready for a fabulous engagement/family photo session. We headed to Wheeler Farm only to be hit by what I swear must have been tornado strength winds. We decided to make the best of it and work it for all it was worth. Within 15 minutes of starting I rounded the corner near the "play house" only to look up and see flames shooting sky high only 25 feet in front of me. I'm not kidding when I tell you I was up close and personal with a wild fire at Wheeler Farm of all places. We later learned that officials blamed "spontaneous combustion" from a compost pile for starting the blaze.
We turned away from the fire hoping to still get some great shots before we were evacuated. Let's just say that didn't last long. Officials were everywhere and people were getting a little crazy. After being told we had to leave we started walking towards our cars. I looked up to see one of THE coolest cars ever. I am not a car aficionado by any means so I have no idea the make or model but I would guess it was from the 1940's. Well what does a spunky red-head do when she sees something so cool? Get my camera of course! I see the owners of the car heading back to get inside. I literally ran up and begged for 1 minute and the use of their awesome automobile. They were a bit confused but obliged nonetheless. I got 3 frames off when a Ford Explorer comes flying down the dirt road honking and swerving right towards me. The driver literally brushed the side of my leg with his car. We get up and out of the way only to see a very small sticker saying Fire Marshall. Yes that's right folks, not only was I shooting photos during a wild fire I almost got ran over by the Fire Marshall. Needless to say the story behind the photo is what makes it an "in between". Without further ado let me introduce Brenda and Jason...and a seriously cool car!

The day was crazy to say the least but I must admit that this photo is priceless! I will probably never get an opportunity like this again. I am so glad I was in the wrong place at the right time. Thanks Brenda and Jason for indulging my wild idea. I think it was worth nearly getting hit by the crazy Fire Marshall.
Until next time...

This little guy is a ball of energy and definitely the wild card in his family! Maybe that is why we get along so well :) I have been working with this family since Collin was super little. Can I just say again how lucky I am to hang out with such fun people who keep coming back for more. So very blessed!!
