Meet Miss Libbyrae

I spent my Sunday morning with Miss Libbyrae &

her Mama amongst the chaos of the pre-pageant

details. They helped to keep my mind at ease

since I had to drop Ally off at 9:30am & could

not see her again until 4pm when she came out

on stage! Libbyrae is a sweet, beautiful spirit,

just like her Mama.(I use the term Mama,

because that is what my kids have always

called me & I love it!) Thanks for spending

the morning with me ladies! I will send you

notification when your slideshow is ready!

Miss Teen CONGENIALITY!!!!!!

Last night, my daughter, Allysen, was

crowned Miss Teen Congeniality of Blossomtime!!!

We are sooooo proud of her! There were 32 contestants,

so to be chosen by the rest of them was such an honor!

I was only able to snap two pics of her and they wisked her off!

My friend, Kathy snapped a couple more, so I am looking

forward to her sending me those!!!

Here's what one of the paper's had to say:

Miss Congeniality is Contestant 22 Allysen Baxter of Niles. A student at Ring Lardner Middle School, Allysen, 14, is the daughter of Carey and Lori Baxter. Allysen is 5-foot-6 with blonde hair and green eyes. She plays volleyball and basketball and has two brothers, Caiden and Adison, and one sister, Kendall. Allysen chose a Mary Lee design by Madeline Gardner tea-length chocolate brown sheer gown with an overlay of baby pink & a jeweled pin to accent.

(I wrote the dress description...my hubby cringed when he realized that, but thought

I did a good job after he heard it....hahahaha!)

Here she is with Kathy's daughter, who

was crowned 2nd Runner up!!! Congrats to

both of you girlies!

Storyboard fun!

I had fun creating these storyboards of my boys.

I could seriously sit & create this stuff for hours..

I Can't WAIT!!!!!!

I have been working on my new website for the past several weeks
and I cannot WAIT to share it with YOU! Although I loved my first
website, designed by my good friend, Heather @ LuxeDesign, I
needed a fresh look that also had some functionality that the old
one did not offer. You will be able to view my pricing, log in through
the client section and view/order your pics directly from there!!!

I have some clients who have been patiently waiting for their
slideshows.....thank you for being patient.....the new site will
make your ordering process sooooo much smoother!

The new site should launch within about 24 hours.....
If you are waiting for a gallery/slideshow, I will email
you your password, as soon as it is launched!

More storyboard idea's...

Love the storyboards my clients have been ordering!!

Cold, cold & COLD!

These two braved the cold Saturday morning....

It was really cold out, but they were troopers..

I told them to relax, picture yourself on the beach,

it's HOT, so why are you wearing sweatshirts?

:) We took a few photos, then ran in to get warm

by the fire, then back out for more...

I love photographing children.... even though

they may act like they don't want to have them

taken to their parents.....once they get in front of

the camera, they can just melt your heart.... They

know what their parents want....& they LOVE to

take a peek at the pic..... For this session, Mom stayed

in the house, because she wanted to be surprised :)

I told you they did great.....

Tea for 2!

This am, my daughter, Kendall, had

a tea party with a very special guest...

Ring around the Rosie....with his eyeballs!

I told her to get back here with my boyfriend..

she laughed and ran.....

Until next time......

Last minute change...

This session was originally scheduled for

this Friday, but after looking at the

forecast, Mom & I decided today would

be better... I can't believe she pulled it

off so quickly! She was working all day

& I was meeting with clients & we were

communicating via email. She literally

had an hour to get everyone ready &

to our meeting spot. Good job MOM!

Little Miss Beauty...

"C" had such an interest in leaves....there

were so many, it was very hard for him

to not pick them up for a closer view...

I love this pic....it reflects *him,* as is....

Until next time......
