I know it’s been a bit quiet on the blog, but it has definitely not been quiet around my house!  The kids are bored with summer and so ready for school to start.  The last couple weeks have been filled with school shopping, cleaning/organizing closets, haircuts, guitar practice and getting work projects underway.  I’m not sure our youngest is going to know what to do with himself when his brother and sister head back to school Thursday.

I  know.  It’s hard to think about fall when it’s still hitting near 100 degrees everyday.  I went shopping the other day for sneakers to start school and was hot just looking at all the corduroy hanging in the shop windows.  I have to admit that I am excited for cooler temperatures after almost every single day the past 3 weeks being over 100 degrees.  I don’t think my A/C kept up very well.

Nevertheless, if you are by nature a procrastinator I suggest starting the new year’s resolution a bit earlier this year.  It never fails that everyone wants to get in during the best foliage weeks.  If that peek color is a high priority for you please don’t wait any longer to call because chances are any available spots will be gone by then.  Right now I only have 2 available appointments for a Saturday left in October.

If foliage isn’t that important to you, but your waiting on cooler temps September is ideal.  Either way click HERE to read about the different session types and then call or email me to schedule your session.

Remember if you were a client last year and you book your fall session before  it has been a year your returning client session fee is only $75!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and said hello last night at Arvest ballpark.  It was really nice to see so many friendly faces.  This was the first time our kids have gone to a game there and they enjoyed it.  The highlight of our toddlers night was seeing Dora!  His eyes lite up so big I couldn’t help but crack up laughing.  It was like he was thinking ‘how did she get out of the t.v.?’.  It was also pretty cool to see my logo on the big screen.  Also thanks to Mark for helping to make sure I had everything I needed!

This past weekend I got to meet several really great women at my first photography class for moms.  Gwen from Motherlode hosted it at her beautiful home and Shannon (her Motherlode partner in crime) helped out.  I gave them a lot of information to soak in, hopefully without overwhelming them!  It wasn’t hard to put myself in their shoes since I remember the frustration of learning my camera so well… 🙂

Thank you to the mama’s who provided (and offered to provide) our little models!  Here are a few shots from our class. ** Keep reading after these images for updates on fall scheduling.**

Fall Scheduling

Things are starting to fill up so if you’ve been on the fence now is the time to jump over.  If you go to THIS POST you can read about the regular and short sessions going on September-November.  Right now I have 2 **weekend spots left in September and **2 left in October so call now if your going to need a Saturday.

I will be closed the entire month of December this year.  No sessions, no editing, no ordering…just family time.  Because of this the** latest possible session to schedule will be November 17th**.  If your pregnant and due after that date please contact me asap as I will always make room for newborns.

Tonight I was reminded why (1) I never wear my hair down to a summer session, and (2) why I don’t book daytime appointments in July and August…just evening.  Man it’s HOT out there!

Thanks for sticking it out with me in the heat guys!  I really enjoyed spending time with your boys, they are so funny.  🙂  Enjoy your sneak peek and I’ll be in touch soon.

A couple of comedians indeed.  I couldn’t help but giggle at this image.  It’s so boy.  🙂

I got the opportunity to photograph the ‘P’ family while they were in the states visiting.  What a fun, loving family!  They are currently serving God overseas in Dubai.  Please keep them in your prayers as God has them doing some amazing things.  🙂

Kevin & Brooke thanks for giving me some of your precious time.  Enjoy this sneak peek and I’ll mail them all soon!
