Trick or Treat

To some this could be a trick, but to others this may be a treat. I found a picture of me (Peter Rabbit) taken a very long time ago. I was just 1 1/2 years old. Happy Halloween and if you are out and about tonight, please be careful of the trick or treaters!


And don't forget to take pictures!

Two Girls, a Guy, and a Birthday Surprise

I couldn't post these pictures until today as they are a surprise for their mom!! Miss D asked me if I could take some pictures to surprise their mom for her 29th (and counting) birthday.
I love this picute. They are all such sweet and adorable kids.

And what boy wouldn't like being kissed by 2 girls? Well this one because they're his SISTERS!!
Still, too cute.

Happy Birthday Miss Kari!

Hat's Off!

I bought a new hat and wanted to try it out on one of my most favorite models (my 4 year old). I also had a little fun with the color.

He's such a little ham.
Christmas is less than two months away. Book your appointment before it's too late!!

November Special

The November Special is:
Eight complimentary 5x7's with any paid session.

Fishhawk Pumpkin Festival

Today was the big Fishhawk Pumpkin Festival, so we decided to go. Let me tell you, it was awesome. You can carve your own pumpkin and then they put it on a HUGE display and then when it gets dark - they light them all up. Here are just 'some' of the pumpkins as they were very popular and people were having a great time carving their unique design.



This one is ours!


Cody and I carved this pumpkin while my husband and other two boys decided to cool off.


And cool off they did, clothes and all. We had no clue they had one of those cool sprinkler things. But when the boys saw it, they ran - they didn't care about their clothes.


He didn't want to leave. A cold front was supposed to come through today, but I think it missed us - COMPLETELY.

Divalicious!!

Just a little Monday fun. These two young 'divas' are my neighbors and I came up with an idea to have some fun with markers. They are quite the characters in and out of 'costume'. They had me laughing pretty good - "almost as much as they were laughing".

The Great Pumpkin and the Wienie Mobile!

Living overseas has it's pros and cons. One con would be the lack of holiday fun stuff (i.e pumpkin patches). But now that we are in the states - I've taken care of that. It was time to pick out the pumpkins. There are actually quite a few pumpkin patches around here, so I pulled into one farm and told the boys to pick any pumpkin they wanted - but the only rule was, was that they had to carry it THEMSELVES. Here they are with their picks.

Jorden found the perfect friend.



A much biger selection than we are used too and this was just part of the selection - they were EVERYWHERE.


After MUCH debate - Cody found this one.


and last but not least - Jake found this big guy.


The boys didn't have school today, so they had to come with me to run some errands. While at the mall - look what we found in the parking lot: the WIENIE MOBILE! I was so darned excited when I saw this thing (I even have the wienie whistle). I pulled the car over, grabbed my quick click camera, told the boys to follow me, and we were standing in front of this giant hotdog mobile striking a pose. I felt like a kid again myself and had my 6 year old snap a picture of me in front of it.





That was our day. I need to go now and prepare dinner. I think we'll have HOTDOGS!

Looking for Victims to shoot (for a photo session)

That's right, I'm looking for people interested in a free photo session. I have recently relocated to the Tampa Bay area and am looking to further my career. Well, I need people who are willing to let me use them in my portfolio and what better way than to offer a free photo session. I can come to your house with my traveling studio or we can arrange an on-location session.
