Sorry and Daphne

March 19, 2010 – 5:23 am

I know I have been a bad blogger! Sorry for that! This month has been a little nuts.  Had some great sessions with some great people, am getting ready to move (locally), and preparing for Micah and Emily’s wedding on Saturday.  Stay tuned for that blog post in a few days!

In the meantime here are a few pics of my daughter from last week. I woke up to plastic doll feet being bounced on my face and when I opened my eyes saw that my four year old had an entire crew sleeping with us in the bed.  Yes, she still crawls in our bed every night (actually early morning around 3-4 am.) I hear my creaky door open and it used to scare me thinking it was a knife wielding murderer but it’s always a small girl with her hands full of her “friends.”  Which I guess could be equally scary if you werent expecting it or dont have a small girl living with you in your house.  LOL Anyways, I will stop blabbering now.

P.S.  If you see drool on the pillow, let’s blame the kid.

Daphne and Lola, her Build-a-Bear that she got with my grandparents.  She hasnt lost Lola’s shoes yet which means she EXTRA loves her.

Leavin’ on a Jet Plane: Headed to Raleigh, NC

January 25, 2010 – 8:55 pm

On Friday I will be headed to Raleigh, North Carolina to do a boudoir shoot for a rockin photographer that lives in the area! Weee! So fun!  I’m nervous! 1.) I hate flying and 2.) doing shoots for really good photographers is always a little intimidating!  HAHAHAHA! SUPER excited though!

For the So Cal peeps, I will be back late on the 31st.  Those of you who had your sessions this past weekend will get your galleries before I leave.  Mwah!

Sometimes you just need a break.

November 24, 2009 – 12:26 am

We’ve had a crazy past couple of months.  My poor kids have been neglected (not like CPS neglected but like “we want our mom to play with us again” neglected) and its easy to try to please everyone else first because the kids never get mad at you.  I’ve been crazy busy, my husband’s work schedule has been nuts ( I feel like a single mama this past month, thank you my husband’s company if you even read this. Doubtful. LOL!!) Add some sickness on that and NO BUENO! So anyways, I’ve finally starting to wrap stuff up but still crazy and my kid is hanging on me saying “mama! Mama!  MAMA! I want a snack! Read me this book! Let’s play hide and seek! Wipe my butt! I drew you a picture!” All the parents out there know what I mean! It’s pretty much impossible to get any type of work done at home.

There comes a point when you have to realize and say “screw it! My kids need some attention!” SOOOOOO, Jevin got to go with grandpa on his truck route (my dad is a long haul truck driver) because he is out of school this week.  Jon is away working again, I miss him! (No, this is not an invitation to come murder me, I have dogs, big ones.) But you dont really realize how much someone helps out until they arent here! I’m not the best domestic goddess and one day he came home after a few days and looked around and said “What, did your maid quit?”  HAHAHAHA

Soooooo it’s girls week this week! I wanted to take Daph to do something fun too instead of staring at me working.  LOL Today she had her very first manicure and pedicure.  Thank you Professional Nails for being so good with her!  She felt like such a big girl! 

She asked her if she wanted a flower and she said “Flower?  On my TOE?”  HAHA

finished product (and yes, we had smoothies for dinner! Hey dont judge.  LOL)

Now it’s time to go find something healthier for dinner and then have a girls camp out in the living room. When she falls asleep, I can sneak away and get back to work.  Sometimes you just need a quick break!

SNAP!

October 6, 2009 – 4:33 pm

Update on the Snap! meeting! We had a pretty big response so we had to draw names out of a hat due to space and seating for my studio.  The 10 names drawn were:

Deanne B.
Sarah T.
Kathleen M.
Sarah A.
Steph
Patty R.
Candace S.
Vicky E.
Alison
Kristy R.

We will email you ladies with more info! If anyone is unable to make it let us know and we can draw out of the other names. Those of you who aren’t able to attend this one, we’ll be doing another meeting soon so stay tuned!!!  We looking forward to meeting you! 

And because a blog post looks totally empty without any images, and because I havent taken any today, I am going to add a music video of Lauren O’Connell and Julia Nunes who I think are awesome.  Independent artists rock.  They are both on iTunes too:
