NEW TEMPLATE TEST!!

Well, I know I've already shared these pics with y'all, but I was having some fun with clipping masks, and templates, and designed one for myself. I wanted to use it right away, to test it out, and all my client pics are on cd's, and my kids are in my comp files, so I decided to use them again. This template would be more for a baby. I also designed a back for it, but it's pretty plain, and more for wording, so you really don't need to see it. I'm thinking about designing a few more, and putting them in my etsy shop. I've only ever sold one item from that place, but maybe I'll sell some more if I add more to my shop... You think? ... :) anywhoo, I loved the colors, LOVED my new digital papers, and of course I love my little girl. Give me some feedback on what you think about the template. I'd love to know.

So what have YOU been up to?

Okay, be ready for photo over load...
I've been busy lately. Some parents have waited until the last minute for senior pics, AND ANNOUNCEMENTS!! So to say the least, I've been designing, and cropping, and sending proofs, re-wording, etc...
Today RIGHT after church (which was awesome)I took my hubby's little bro. out for some pics. He's graduating from the 8th grade. Actually, he's bieng "promoted" from the 8th grade. This guy has it all. He's sweet, goofy, loves the Lord, and in the last year he has turned into a "looker" I think it's his height... Anyways, I am super pleased with the way they came out, and I think his mom is too (my mother in law) We even designed an announcement/invite. All that took up my WHOLE day. Seriously.

This guy here is my high school sweet heart. He's my bff. I also think he's kinda super gorgeous. He's also known as my superman. Been married almost 9 years, had lots of ups and downs, but I think we're doing alright. God is at the center of our marriage, and I'm glad because we wouldn't be able to stand eachother if we didn't have our eyes on God. Thank you Jesus! and thank you Hunny. For loving me.... even when sometimes i'm not so loveable...

HA! I just took a few of my little girl (suprise huh) Just so you all know... I do have other children. I know it may not seem that way, but I do. I have two boys. I know you mostly see this little girl, but I just can't help it!!! I love the faces she makes, and how she gets all wierd when the camera comes out! Okay... gotta put more of the boys up...

I did this guy's senior shoot just last week. He was easy. He knew what he wanted, and only had 1 change of clothes! Nice!
Photobucket
Did I mention his graduating class is 5?...
Photobucket
This is not his car. But he saw it in the parking lot, and HAD to take a pic next to it!

ARE YOU READY FOR A BEAUTY? This girl is totally super pretty. If we were in H.S. together, I would totally be intimidated by her beauty. But since I'm old, she was just a beautiful young lady. Well, I'm not that old. She even said so herself. I told her "wow, class of 2010 already. I graduated in 2000, can't believe it's been almost 10 years" and she said "Oh, I thought you looked young!" Yep. the young one called me young! Celebrate all...
Photobucket
See... pretty...
Photobucket
Um... can I please go back to H.S. and be this girl reincarnated?...
Photobucket
And the best part is... she loves the Lord! Now that's a keeper.
Okay, I'm tired.... comment please... PLEASE!!!!
G'nite...

I heart faces again...

Well, I thought I'd take a shot at it again. It just so happens that my last post had a picture that I thought would be perfect for this weeks challenge. The theme is flowers and faces. Here is a photo of my little girly girl holding a flower from my mothers day boquet! Just so you know, she was smelling the flower, not eating it... She did however try to do just that later on...

Lovely girl

Just wanted to share a pic from our walk today. As I was passing an alley, I noticed that this home had a pretty climbing foliage at the back of their house. They do this to prevent graffiti... If they only knew how to prevent trespassing photographers!! HAHA All the dogs in the neighborhood were barking at us. Got a few cute ones though. Enjoy...

Little miss Em

Hi everyone! and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!
I had the honor of photographing the cutest little baby girl for her first mothers day! Grandma and I wanted to suprise the new momma at church for our mothers day service, but I ran late, and didn't have them printed in time. <:( But
she will get them tomorrow FOR SURE!! Here she is... Photobucket
So pretty...

They grow up so fast. Enjoy her while she's still small. Trust me, Hannah's all over the place, it's only a distant memory of when I could just swaddle her, and put her to sleep.
Photobucket
It's a special job being a mommy. I truly hope all the best for this little baby girl, and her mommy. Much love.
