Alpine and his homies.

This is my last big family photo shoot for a little while.

Alpine and his mom, dad, cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, great-grandma, great aunt, great uncle were there to join him. They were great! Hope you enjoy your photos!

PS I'll be posting a few of my favorites as my children allow me to. Barbie movies only last for so long you know.

Photogenic.

It's a miracle. I finished proofing the Buckley's photo shoot. Lots of favorites from this photo shoot. Those kids are so darn cute! They have winning personalities and great attitudes. Can't beat that. They are a photographer's dream. Plus, Parker just makes me giggle.

Sorry it took awhile to get to you, Cindy! Hope you like them!

back to work.

I have been doing a lot of editing lately. That's what I do in my spare time, in case you didn't know. So, all you neighbors who live behind me and see that my light is on late at night. THAT is what I'm doing. And I really really really like it. I'm alllllmost done with the Taylor family pictures. Oh, Evan is so cute. These guys are such dear friends. We've known them for a long time. It tickles me to know that we've been friends for so long.

Another one of my latest projects has been sorting and cleaning up all the crap I have. I mean really, I just have a lot of CRAP! Where did it come from and how did it get here (Ask KD, she knows. She always knows where my crap comes from and how to get rid of it). Anyway, it is feeling really good to unload, let go and get it out. In the last 2 months I have probably filled about 5 really good sized boxed for the D.I. And, in case you are wondering, that was just from the toy room. I hauled out 2 boxes from my closet and 3 boxes from my work room. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHAT WAS IN MY PANTRY!!!! OK, maybe not. But it was really bad. OH--and the medicine box! I'm not even going to start on our medicine box. NASTY. The sad part is, even though I've cleaned a lot of stuff out. There's still more. Right now, the current project is my photos. A lot of you may think this isn't a problem but it SOOOO IS. See, I photograph and photograph alll the time. Kristen and I are taking a class online at Big Picture Scrapbooking about this. It is teaching us all about how to catagorize and sort and clean and store all that CRAP and still love scrapbooking and recording. See, I really don't like scrapbooking right now. It feels so overwhelming at times. I always feel like I have to finish a long task list before I can sit down to do anything.

I love this class so far. I really feel like I'm doing something. I'm excited to finally make a library of sorts and know where everything is. I'll report on how it goes.

Love Mine Neighbors.

Here are my neighbors.

They are so cute. We are so lucky. The Smith's shalt nevereth moveth. This is my new favorite picture...

new friends.

Part of my job as a photographer is to take pictures. OK, that's my whole job. However, I love the perks that come along with taking pictures: making new friends! I love this family. They are all so beautiful!

Their dad(s) should seriously consider what they're going to do when boys start stopping by 'cause you know it's going to happen.

Next thing you know, there will be a line of boys a mile long waiting at your doorstep to go out with your daughters.

OK, I guess Parker is cute too :) [insert image of me pinching Parker's cheek]...JK-- Enjoy your pictures!

rush order.

ooooo oooo ooooo, lots of favorites out of this bunch! What a fun family! I laughed the whole time! In the meantime, check out these & these...

forget flowers and trees, my new favorite backdrops are old walls. Know where a cool old building is that maybe has a peeling paint, broken brick? How about cracked stucco? Let me know!!!!

Raise you hand if your grandparents are models! (all of Chris's kids, nieces and nephews should have their hands raised!)

call for organization.

OK, I thought that Cindy's family might find it less overwhelming if they viewed the images by family. There's a lot of images! I'll be starting on the black and white conversions tomorrow but for now, enjoy!!

moving on.

cute families...check.

ps. proofing (i.e. figuring out why the color is soooo, so whatever..) is a work in progress. please stand by!

Thanks for being patient! More on its way!

Green Men.

Nobody likes green men. Color calibration software is on my Christmas list. Isn't there a Christmas in July? One of the headaches in the digital world is white balance and making sure everybody's skin tones look the same in the shade as they do in the sunshine. Still amateur here! Sorry about your green husband Lorelei! Here are your color pictures and your sepia pictures. Let me know how they look on your monitor. Hopefully everything matches up. I'd be happy to make any adjustments that you feel are needed!
