Back in October, I took a day and photographed my son’s second grade class.  I am not quite sure who had more fun, me or the  kids.  I ended up feeding them so much candy that they were wired the rest of the day.  Two of the room moms and I told the kids that this was going to be a surprise for their parents for Christmas so mum was the word.  The kids all made beautiful photo Christmas cards with their photos and it was the perfect gift.

The kids all ask me if we can do this again, but I think they will have to wait for the next school year to find out.

Oh boy…it’s been way too long since I logged and posted anything - but I had to keep a promise I made to my kids for the holidays.  I had been going none stop for 4 months and my kids had had enough and made a very heart felt request that I do absolutely no work during the holidays - next year I have to add a blog exempt clause.

I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season - as did I with my family.  Since I have not blogged much of anything lately, I wanted to share with you some of our pics from our holiday card this year.  I really wanted it to be a bit more light hearted and fun and to do something to could incorporate my husbands artistic skills as well. I had the concept in mind and requested the help of my good friend Jo to help take our photos - I think she did a wonderful job executing my strange vision.

Anyways, I have a ton of exciting things happening this year including a new blog, new website, new specials, more contest and even better prizes.  At the top of my list though, is moving into my husbands office in Redlands part-time…yeah!  I really want to be more accessible to my clients and since the majority of my clients are in the Loma Linda/Redlands area, I want to be right in the thick of thing.  I will keep you all updated for when the office will be ready for clients to drop by.

I have so many things to post, so stay tuned - it’s so good to be back!

OK Nadine - I finally got to you and I am sorry that it took so long. 

Ren and I go way back to when MC Hammer pants with black and white polka-dot shits where in style.  I am so glad that the hair styles have changed and that you have a wonderful wife to make sure your fashion stays in check. I feel that our location reflected your personality the best -it was colorful, lively and just made me happy.  

Barbara contacted me about six months ago and wanted to book me for the day after Thanksgiving for a family photo shoot.  Hmmm…let me see, shopping or work? Yeah, work won the battle this year and boy was I glad.

Shoots are hard enough with one child but seven can be really tough. It took me about a half an hour to remember everyones names - but I did and I was quite impressed with myself.  It was such a delight to work with such well behaved and beautiful children - they really made my job easy. 

Barabra, here is a little taste of from your shoot - I will have the rest ready later today.

The Martins were one of the families that I started my blog with this year.  At the time no one knew that there was a little bun in the oven.  Looking back now they all laughed at the fact that Rhonda even play football last year during the holidays not knowing she was pregnant.

Well the Martins are happy to be one member stranger and even more beautiful.  Over the Thanksgiving holidays I was able to meet the new member of the bunch and update their family portraits. I say why stop - just keep on adding.  You all are such a beautiful family,  one more won’t hurt - wink, wink Sherry.
