A day in the life of two busy little ones.....

just a sneak peek of a session I had yesterday morning. =) They were absolutely a ball to photograph....and super sweet too! Mr. J would give me hugs at the drop of a dime and Miss. R wanted to take me home! LOL!!

I hope you like what you see Jeni and Dave....just a couple from the session. =)





and you gotta love feet! =)

A sneak peak from a session this weekend. =)

ok....the third bad thing just happened....

MSN has decided to switch my email over to the new beta version and I can't get any of my messages....I can see them but I can't read them, reply to them or even send new ones. AAARRGGHHHH!

So bare with me if you can....I was able to contact them to tell them that I was unhappy about the sudden change (and switching it without asking me), so hopefully I can get back to my old version.....have I said I don't like change? Changes scare me. =)

back to her sassy little self....

can you tell? LOL!!

right before the storm....

of bad voo-doo. =)

Thank you all for the well-wishes....we are feeling much, much better. Gracie went back to school and today, I'm feeling better...just weak and tired. I think I've gotten caught up on my emails.....I wittled them down from 70+ to 19. I left to run errands for a couple of hours and came home to 11 more! LOL!! You just have to laugh about that. =) Now, I need to get back to proofing because I know there are some mommies out there than want to see their sessions. =)

So, here's after the soccer game...we went to Sonic to have ice cream and right then I should have known something wasn't right when she didn't eat her ice cream....that's just unheard off. She did get sick before this shot...but then she was acting fine and actually dancing for everyone in their cars to see. =) But look how red she was......poor baby! =(



And then the flood gates opened once we got home....bless her heart, she didn't get sick in the car. BTW, why is it that mom's have the instinct nature to want to catch the puke whereas the dad's get as far away from it like it's the plague? LOL!!

And a couple of Sam...those eyes just do it to me everytime. I'm going to be that aunt that will get her anything she wants.



Notice the no eye contact...before she was looking at me and smiling and then wham, she sees the camera and acts like I don't exsist.

And a couple from the game...it's her first season to play...she's the newbie but the girls are sooo sweet and she really likes the coaches. I just hope she doesn't put puking her insides up and playing soccer together...we'll see this weekend.

bad things happen in 3's

I'm waiting for the third....

I just wanted to let everyone know that has emailed me...I will get back to you all. The last couple of days has been crazy here....Gracie got dehydrated after her soccer game on Saturday and had to go to the ER to get an IV of fluids back in her and then yesterday I was vomitting non-stop and had to go and find out I have an kidney infection....FUN!!

So, anyhow, I just wanted to let everyone know that has emailed me about sessions and such, that I will get back to you all starting tomorrow. I barely have energy to get out of the bed but I mustered up some to type this....and now I'm exhausted again. =)

2 newborns in 3 weeks....

I've been in business since Sept. of last year and didn't have a single newborn session...all kiddos and families and then WHAM....I get 2 in 3 weeks. How funny is that? LOL!!

Well, this beauty is a bit older than the last one but as cute as can be. We just waited until she fell asleep because Mama wanted the this shot so bad....and believe me, it was worth the wait....one of my favs. =)

Just an update on the coat....it sold and it's shipped. =) Thanks for all of you that inquired about it. =) Also, many of you have emailed me asking what my username is on ebay....it's gracie*bug. I use to sell on there a long time ago but haven't lately...just a few pieces here and there.

Also, I know I've been tagged by a couple of you....I promise I will get to them too. =)

You all have a fantastic weekend!

"the famous coat"

Yep, I'm selling it and I'm sad to see it go. =( I was going to put it on ebay but then thought I might see if you girls would want it since many of you said you love it. =)

It's from Babygap and it's sized as a 4T. It would be great for fall and winter and think of all the photo ops too. =) It's in perfect condition...Gracie wore it maybe a handful of times only for pictures or special occasions. I'm asking $30.00 and that includes shipping. Email me at Bleann@msn.com if you're interested. =)

ETA: Sale pending....man you girls are fast! I had 5 inquiries about it within 1 hour of posting it. LOL!! I gotta laugh...what we do for cute clothes for our kids, while we wear Target! LOL!!

One day until HUMP DAY....

Don't you just LOVE 3 day weekends...makes for a really short week. =)

Nothing new to post except that I thought I'd get Miss G. outside to finish up my lighting assignments since I'm going to be busy with sessions in Sept. and Oct. is filling up fast. I thought this might be my last chance but I guess the sun didn't want to play along....right when I got set up, it decided to stay behinds some clouds.....bummer. But I got this...nothing special but I wanted to share....I LOVE that grin of hers. =)

It's the "oh fart, mom's got her camera out again...just grin and bare it so I can get on to more important things like swinging" grin.



I'll be posting all my Christmas card samples for my clients to choose from. Remember, the last day to submit Christmas orders and cards is November 15th. =)
