We're officially JINXED!

Yep, I said it...we are jinxed! I dont know why but our bad luck never seems to end around our house! This week it's all about the cars...Gary's car, the lovely chameleon beauty:) that is pictured below, has been having some issues and after a bunch of expensive repairs we ended up finding out the engine is ruined, so we need a new one!!




So, as if that news is not bad enough there was still more to come! Gary used my car and parked it where his car is normally parked in our yard, and a tree fell and smashed it!! Seriously! It figures that during that last year and half that we've lived here, not a scratch on his car but as soon as my car is in that spot this happens! Too bad it wasnt his car, then we would have no problems!!:) So now we are carless at the moment, well I did get a rental, but I'm hoping for good news from the insurance company!

Back to School 2007!

Man, I am such a blog slacker!! I am going to have to commit to making at least one post a week!

Anyway, the kids went back to school last week! Yippee!! This is an exciting year for us, this is the ONLY yr my kids will ever be in the same school together, plus with her in Kindergarten and this his last yr of Elem. in 5th, I know it is going to be a year full of exciting things!! Jaden really enjoyed her first week and is excited each morning to go. And Tristan is happy he got the teacher he wanted, was chosen as a patrol, and was will get to play the xylophone in the chorus!

So seems they are off to a great start! Here's a few pics!

Wisteria Lanes Imagination launch!!

I had the honor to photograph some amazing sets for Wisteria Lane's latest launch..."A Child's Imagination"! If you are looking for a unique fun set, or want to see any of the ones pictured look here! The gorgeous pink Fairy Princess over there <---- was designed by Linda of Lily and Ebony...the perfect costume for a princess!! Anyway, I'm having a great time learning and using our high key set up...and had I been told years ago how simple it makes modeling I would have done it then! Where we live is beyond HOT and the humidity is killer...so not having to worry about weather or having to race the clock for the right lighting is a godsend!! Although I really am glad I have spent so much time learning to use natural light, as I think it is always best to learn the basics first! And if I'm ever lucky enough to be able to quit my day job and call myself a full time pro photographer, I am confident I will be able to work well in either environment (outdoor/studio) even though I still have many aspects to master;)! OK on to some pictures....check out these amazing sets we modeled....this first set is by Timi of My Beach Cottage Designs...gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous with matching tote by Kathy of Pixie Dust Studio and clippies from Wendys World Art that are TDF as well!!! Oh and a matching necklace form yours truly!!

This next set we photographed is amazing!! The details are spectacular and the whole set is just too cute, it was designed by the talented Laurie of Blowin Bubbles Boutique! And the matching shoes by Lesli of Sweet Toes Boutique and tote by Kathy of PixieDustStudio are just STUNNING....these girls can paint like no other!! Their work is just fabulous!


and OMGosh...this set was just AMAZING!! We had such a fun time doing this set...Jaden had as much fun modeling it as I had photographing it!! Another STUNNING design by Timi of MyBeachCottageDesigns...isnt it gorgeous?

And this last pic I had to throw in because it was my fave of my beautiful little girl! She did so well modeling all these sets, I couldnt be more proud:)!

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY.....

Whew...we have had quite the hectic schedule this summer!! I'm so looking forward to Aug 20th, school resumes here and I will be quite happy to get back to a routine!

I've been super busy this past month getting all my high key gear set up, keeping the kids entertained and various other projects!! My son will celebrate his 10th birthday soon, so I've been shopping and planning for that! And this past weekend my kids had the chance to take part in a fun fashion show at a local Back to School bash! It was fun, but really hectic...I'll share pics soon!!
