Getting Started!!!

Well here it is at long last! I have a life again! This was my first full week not being a student, and man was it busy!!! How did my family survive without me around so much???

I am gearing up for a great summer. My wedding schedule is starting to fill up and I have quite a few seniors that I need to get booked. I am thinking of taking a Senior Safari trip to Helena MT, for seniors that want something really different for their senior portraits! If you are interested in the Senior Safari, give me a call and I can give you more details.

I am also in need of senior ambassadors at the area high schools. If you or someone you know would like a great deal on portraits, and are willing to help promote me to all your friends, we need to talk, SOOOOOOON! Give me a call @ 307-431-4686!

I am off to another baseball practice and then a 4-H meeting! Thanks for stopping by and check my website soon for new images and more info about the Senior Safari!

Life!!!

What a fun and exciting time it is in our lives right now. BUSY as all get out, but man it is good! I will be graduating from college on May 16th! What a crazy two and a half years it has been for our family. I think we are all ready for me to be home in Worland full time again. Summer is shaping up to look pretty good for my second year in business. Hard to believe it has been a year already. The studio, while not perfect, has worked out well and kept me busy this winter. Senior and Wedding season are just beginning and I am hoping we will have time to still camp!!

In the meantime I am headed off to Helena, Montana tomorrow for the Montana Professional Photographers convention. I am going with other students and faculty from Northwest College. It should be a great time of learning and getting some fresh ideas for my summer shoots!

The kids lives are just as busy. Abby is in track right now and doing pretty well for a girl that inherited her mom's short little legs! She does hurdles, high jump, sprinting and now she is attempting discus. I am proud of her. She also has 4-H stuff starting up and is doing archery, horses and 22 starts next week. Plus baseball is right around the corner along with a couple of summer camps. Busy young lady!

Rae and Aaron started Cloverbuds this week. They are both looking forward to summer swimming lessons and baseball! Aaron will turn 6 tomorrow! Hard to believe my little man is growing up so fast! I need to get a 6 year old picture of him to hang on my wall! I just recently ordered 20X30 canvas gallery wraps of the two girls from their birthday pictures. They look awesome but need their little brother to hang with them on the wall! I will post a pic when all three are hung.

Chad is also keeping busy. His boxing class is really growing the last couple months. He will be traveling to St. Louis for training right after my graduation. I guess we will celebrate when he gets back. I am going to plan a little trip for us.

Well, I hope your lives are just as full and hopefully not as insanely busy as ours. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! I will post pics when I return from Helena.

Spring Break

Yeaaaa! I am off school for a week. Nothing big planned but still looking forward to a whole week without school. Only two months to go! I will be so glad when it is done.

This week I got to see Abby perform in Stars of Tomorrow. She did so awesome! She got second place with her solo "Old Carrion Crow" What a beautiful and talented young lady she is growing into.

God is so good. I have been thinking about how great He is! As I go through times of uncertainty in my life, He is there. He is my strength and my provider, and it is He I need to please and not worry about everyone else. May God give you a wonderful week, and if you don't know His Son personally, may He whisper to your heart this week.

Wow, Where did February go?????

Gee, this month has flown by! I am so excited about what I learned at WPPI in Las Vegas! I am looking forward to all of my summer weddings even more than before.

I have some fun new pics to post. I got to shoot Jessica (Kraft) Hill's baby this week, and man is he a little cutie. Plus I have new stuff from Vegas, got to take a IR camera and had lots of fun with it!

March is right around the corner and I am going to be so busy. I am working on that final portfolio for school, I have to shoot a chocolate and perfume ad this week, hopefully will get to shoot a renaissance couple. Plus, Abby is turning twelve! How did that happen so fast? Tonight we get to go see her school musical. While I was out of town she competed in Showalter and got a 1+ on her solo! I am so proud of the young lady she is becoming! Then at the end of March is the Worland Home and Garden Expo. I am excited about being there, but have lots of samples to order!

If I can hold on, May will be here before I know it and life will go back to some stage of normal! ( I HOPE)

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day to all of you, and espescially to my family!

Off to Wedding and Portrait Photographers International

Vegas, here I come! I have never been to Las Vegas before, and really never had any desire to go. But . . . I do have a desire to go to the WPPI conference. It is the largest conference and trade show for wedding and portrait pros. I will be learning all sorts of new techniques, and seeing all kinds of products for photography. Needless to say, I am excited. Hopefully I will return with awesome new ideas and a better educated direction for my business!

Plus I am taking a few cameras, so hopefully I will get some great shots for my portfolio! I will share with you all when I return, so check back for images and details!
