JMKs--Easter

Yes this post is late, but life has been hectic to say the least. Although these didn't turn out quite like I'd hoped, considering all the obsticales just to get them, they are okay.

We went from, okay this isn't too bad, should be 'quick & easy'....

...to 'I want nothing to do with this...get me outta here'...

...followed by 'I'm not going to look at you because you can't make me, you're waaaay back there...'

...so maybe the key is a little bit of sleep...

...or how bout we play dress up instead...

...the lesson of the day...a great smile comes with the threat of putting the camera away. I was completely frustrated and done with this little adventure, started putting things away, and suddenly I had a cooperative little princess on my hands...

Amazing how that worked out!.

- - Moving - -

Due to the fact that today is the beginning of our move, I will be available on a limited basis for the next 2 weeks. I appoligize in advance if it takes a little longer than normal for replies, call
backs, or proofing.

Things should be back to normal after May 1st.

If you are looking to book a session, please don't hesitate to call, I will work you into our craziness, your images will just take a little longer to process. :-)

Thank you for your patience and understand as we continue down the path that God is sending us. ~HUGS~

Cousins

Hooray!!! I got the chance to take some photographs this past weekend. This is my sister and brother in law, my nephew, and his cousin. They were definately wild and crazy cousins, but it was a fun little outting, even though neither of them wanted ANYTHING to do with having their portraits made!

There will be more later, I'm in the midst of packing and needed a short break. :-)

JMK-A little practice

I've been dying to get out and get some shooting in, but lots of things have come first. One day this week I set out for 10 minutes to try and get a better portrait of my lil' Grace. Well, it didn't quite work out like I wanted, and definately need some assistance when trying again.

But in the mean time... I haven't had much time to do any crafting lately either, so I sat down today and did a couple things. A binkie string for the baby and of course Miss Anna needed a 'rojec' to, so we made her a little headband with the same ribbon I used for the string.

And then, she willingly posed for a few quick snaps since it was so 'tuute' .

Hopefully (haha) I can convince my dear sweet hubby to help me get some Easter pictures of the girls this weekend. I know I'll get a little practice in this weekend, even if it's not my own kids...my sister wanted to get together for some new shots of her & my nephew. I may even get ambitious and get a few new ones of myself done...
