  • Our Family is Growing

    We had a small window of opportunity to be able to have family pictures done while John Boy was home for the holiday.  I love my friend DeEdra for taking the time (on a day with 30 mile an hour winds ) to photograph our growing family…  thanks my friend, I love ya bunches…..

    I love my family….  it was great having them home for the holiday, maybe next year we can get Trina and Angela with their kids and hubby’s…  now that would require renting a space I think, but it would be awesome.  DeEdra is wonderful as always, thanks again….  www.xanga.com/fotobydeedra

    I have not seen this family for a while and let me tell you what I have learned from them….  kids grow up too fast.  The last time I saw them they were just kids, literally KIDS.  It was really great seeing them and I hope that I will see them before they are completely grown up.  They are an amazing family and I really enjoyed spending time with them….  Here are a few of my favorites…

  • 12 days already

    From DeEdra’s blog…..

     

    on the 12th day of Christmas…the photographer gave to me…

    I can’t believe this is the last day of the giveaways already.  Where does the time go?  Remember when you were little and Christmas took forever to get here.  I miss those days.  I am going to spend today with the boys and my niece and nephew!  We are going to ChuckECheese and we are also going to make a gingerbread house.  The cousins are leaving tonight, so we have to make sure they are good and tired before they hit the road.  I will try to remember to take some pictures to show you.  I am a bad, bad photographer.  I haven’t taken a picture since Friday night!  I won’t lie: it has been nice not taking any pictures.  I am going to be ready and raring to go in 2009!

    Today’s giveaway is the best one yet.  I am giving away a Portraits in the Park session in October 2009, 50 Christmas cards and a $100 gift certificate!  To enter this giveaway please send me an email at fotobydeedra@aol.com and we will pick the winner tomorrow morning. 

    The winner yesterday was Erin Rivers.  Please email me for your gift certificate.

    Please continue to watch the blog there are a few more fun things coming up.  The bridal market is just around the corner and I will have a drawing for free wedding photography at noon that day (January 10th at MPEC).  I will also start giving some great wedding tips leading up to the bridal market.  8.5 years of weddings, you would be amazed at what I have seen and learned and I love to share that information. 

  • DeEdra’s 11th day already…..

    on the 11th day of Christmas…the photographer wonders how it got to be Monday to fast…

    Monday already?  wow.  After two family Christmases in two days, I am a very tired girl and not ready to get out of bed today as early as the boys are!  Guess we are going to be taking a big nap today.  Before we get to the fun, I know I have a lot of messages on my phone.  I will get to those between putting together lego Star Wars ships and watching Wall-E again.  I couldn’t stay awake through it last night!  I am not at the office, so please don’t “just drop in” hoping to find me there.  It’s not going to happen. 

    Okay, enough of that work stuff.  Today I am giving away 5 5x7s and 5 4x6s.  Email me at fotobydeedra@aol.com if you want to enter today’s giveaway.

    mandajo79 won yesterday.  I am pretty sure I know who this is, but I am not going to make a fool of myself, so email me mandojo for your gift certificate.  Gotta go play 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed now!
