Summer Fun

Summer is flying by! Please view my Facebook page~ link to the right~ for lots of recent session images! We travelled to Cooperstown with my 12 year old's baseball team and then on to NYC for a few days~ it was an amazing trip! The boys did great came in 5th out of 27 teams! We stayed at a lakehouse so my 15 year old fished his little heart out~ and learned to wake board. Now he is at band camp for two weeks preparing for the upcoming year~ he is section leader of the drum line and is on snare this year! And now after a little break from baseball the other is doing middle school football and back to baseball in September. I am trying to catch up from our travels on orders and keep on schedule! Summer reading reports are done~ thankfully! Now it is back to school shopping time! Hope you have all had a wonderful summer as well! Enjoy every minute of it!

Christmas Card Collection 2009...

The (brief) calm after the storm...

I hope everyone had their best Christmas ever!!! We had a wonderful one, we are so blessed!!! From October on I thankfully became so busy with no time to blog~ but so happy things have been great! I had the honor of photographing so many wonderful families & children, it has been wonderful. I am very proud of all of the Chrismas Cards I created this year~ I consider them little works of art that we share with friends and family. And I love it when the card fits the personality of each family and tells a story. My goal is to have them take people's breath away when they receive them. I am very happy with how they all turned out! I wanted to post along the way, but could not till after they were mailed~ would not want to reveal before then! So I thought I would share them now...

In case anyone is wondering about the back of our cards and the quote (had a friend ask) it was a joke among us on the day we shot the images...the boys are getting so big and you always want to be careful about what hands are doing in pictures so they are not distracting (and theirs are so big now!) so we kept laughing about that they didn't know what to do with their hands~ which brought up the movie Talladega Nights ~ when the main character Ricky Bobby won his first race and was being interviewed on tv his hands kept creeping up beside his face into the shot for no apparent reason~ which was really funny! So once they started doing it we were all hysterical...so that is the story behind it! Funny boys!!

And by the way, I am now officially a MAC... well, it is in it's box here next to me anyway... very excited about it~ wishing Santa would have brought all the software I am going to need to use it since nothing is cross platform that I have... another large investment~ but the first time I design a layout in an album or cards with multiple layers and just fly through at the speed of light, I know it will all be worth it! I was very close to throwing mine out the window...definately time for an upgrade!

I am very much looking forward to a happy and busy 2010~ spring in the garden is so beautiful and just around the corner! Already have so many people scheduled to come in the next couple months it is fabulous! Spots are filling fast so anyone who is interested please call and reserve your time! So fortunate to have such amazing clients!!

May 2010 be your best & happiest year ever!

from the Heart, Teresa
