3 Talented Ladies!

Today I met up with three very talented ladies!  Soon I will be letting you know more about what they do.  Here is there head shots so they can start working on there website! 

What to do with your prints

Thanks to all that had emailed me what they have done with there prints!  I am thinking some of you will see what everyone did and I may get a few other emails so I may add to this post.

 

Hands

I hope the photos below inspire you and your family to make these super cute animals!  If you do it please email me a photo! 

Me & Lady M!

Well I do not think I have to say much here!

Warmer days ahead!

Our count down to Florida has begun!  Warmer days ahead!  We can not wait!  I so excited to make new family memories that will last forever!  I am not sure on how often I will be checking my email so just know that there will be a delayed response I promise I will get back to you! 

2011: The Year of Courage

Here is one of the most thoughtful things I have ever received from someone that means so much to me.  The key chain was instantly put on my keys.  2011 is a year of courage, strength, and healing for me. 

Camera Strap!

Oh I had so much fun making this fun and catchy camera strap!  I just had to share it with you.  Hope that everyone is staying safe in all of our snow! I am glad that we had the warm up and so much was melted otherwise I am not sure if I would be able to see over the snow! 

FYI

March is a month where we are doing some fun family things.  If you are looking to book in March I am pretty much full with family and a few 1yr photo shoots!  So start thinking of April!  Also if you are senior looking to book for this summer you may want to get on the books as well so you have first pickings!

Bad Luck!

Everyone's worst nightmare!  Every photographers worst nightmare!  At the end of December my final back up external hard drive started ticking!!! NOOOO I thought!  Well out of this very stressful situations I lost so much sleep it affected a few of clients and myself.  So ok how can I make it an ok situation... well first I have some of the best clients/friends in the world!  I was glad to hear from Best Buy and Data Doctor that I was doing it right!!!  Yeah... it should have never happened!  The hard drive was made in 2009! Then after sending it off two times I have been told the data on this hard drive is unrecoverable.  I know my heart stopped! So now I am very picky on my hard drive!  Looked into online storage... I do like but it will not back up an external hard drive.  It can and will happen to any one.  Love technology but it has its down falls too.  Know that I will do everything I can to keep all of our memories safe! 

Photo Book

Senior photo book!  It turned out so beautiful.  The two of us work hard to get it just right!  It was worth the work! 

JR is one!

One is so fun!  Here is JR and he is one!  He is a mover and a shaker!  Almost a runner too!  We has so much fun playing with toys and chairs!  Then we moved to the great out doors!  Enjoy he peak! 

Our Valentines Day!

We had plenty of fun planed yesterday with some of our best friends and some wonderful moms!  We did these super cute frames, we made some flowers, cupcakes, and brownie pops that tasted better then they looked!  :)  We all had a great time.

I thought I would also share my very pretty flowers!  They make me think of spring!  It is on its way!  

Happy Valentines Day!

Here are some cute Valentines things that Lady M and I did this year! 

Treats we made for cousins and friends filled with goodies!

 

 Our school Valentines.

 

 Lady M and I made these cute flowers that will last throughout time!

Cookies!

Today my house was filled with the sweet smell of cookies!  Lady M and I made some of the best cookies today and they are so cut in the shape of a heart!  I thought I would share a favorite by many but how just a heart shape pan can make it so much more!  We love them!  Maybe you will be a lucky one and get one from us as our Valentine.  :)    *Are you wondering when I may post photos of people again... This weekend I have two shoots so very soon.  I still have many other things to share too!*

Love! Love! Love! my Dove!

OK one of my weaknesses in life is my love for dove chocolate!... Creamy! Chocolaty! Carmel! Peanut Butter!  I can not have an open bag in my house if I do... well it is gone!  It just makes me melt inside!  I did recently buy some to put into my Valentines and of course I had to eat some then by more because I ran out!!!   I wanted to share with you what one of my messages said... 

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate!

What are you going to celebrate!!! There should be something even little every day!  

 

Winter Lady M!

Well during our brief warm up we did get outside!  I guess all you can say is bring on the cold!!!!  Lady M just loves to play outside when it is not to cold.  She can make some great snow angles for our Alora above!  Love you girl...

Balloons!

OK.  I have been enjoying many lifes little things but here is one big one that M and I enjoyed yesterday at Hudson's Hot Air Balloon Affair.  We could walk right up the the basket!  Due to the weather and fog they where not able to go up but the took turns inflating and showing off there balloon!  If you every have the chance to see them and like hot air balloons it was neat to see.  Some day I will go up on one! 

Super Bowl

Many of you know that I was born and raised in WI!  If you have ever lived there you know that you are simply a packer fan at heart!  So between us... I will cross fingers in hope the packers win but it is a game and hard to know what will happen.  I do have a husband who is a Viking fan so I do enjoy both teams but the green made it there this year so that is who I am cheering for!  In honer of this great night tomorrow I have a great dip that has been a hit since the first time I made it and I am going to share it.  I did make it for our fun dinner!  M is so excited about the food... not sure if she will enjoy the football as much...

Hearty Taco Dip
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
dash of pepper
1 lb process cheese cubed
1 bottle (8oz) taco sauce
1/4 cup water
1 med tomato, chopped (Diced tomato in a can work too. I did not put tomatoes today, all depends on my mood.)
1 med green pepper, chopped
1 can 2 1/4 oz sliced olives drained

Tortilla chips
In pan on medium heat, cook beef, onion and pepper until meat is no longer pink; drain.  Add the cheese, taco sauce and water; stir in the tomato, green pepper and olives.  Serve with warm chips.  (I often leave out the green peppers... not a favorite of mine)

Seeing hearts...

Well I think I have really fallen back on all of my post.  I hope to play catch up in the next few weeks.  I actually have a few personal things to share coming up here but the first,  Valentines Day!  I found this fun little craft in a Family Fun magazine.  M and a friend made these and they are so cute and easy too!  Just took a few days to dry since I had such thick yarn.
