The girls had a mini-shoot in my studio before the daddy daughter dance this past month and FINALLY got around-toit!
Yep…the shoemakers fable is so true in my house…anyone else feel my pain:)

okay–not really a “BIG” screen but a little screen and pictures are in the slideshow mode, not movie mode.
But I have to say that I love the way the music fits with these and it was such a treat to have them out all the way from the Detroit area.
Hope you girls love this and your images are in the mail!!!
Some of you know, but others do not, that I am a soccer mom; AND PROUD OF IT!!
It has been for the last probably 4 years that my son has a tournament on Mothers Day weekend. This year was no exception but it was a local tournament so it meant for us to come home and sleep in our own beds!
This was a GREAT weekend of soccer {the weather could have cooperated a bit more but at least we only were rained on a bit and not a down-pour like last year}.
My son plays on a pretty competitive travel team called Vardar and I am pretty proud of them all….we took second place!
Here is some mega pics that I took of them in their glory!
Here is my son showing nice ball control.
Again, with a soft touch.
He is VERY good at hitting the ball and directing it with his head….
He is so good that his head hit the ball and someones head…this equals to a nose bleed.
BAD on my part that I couldn’t get the shot of the impact of the ball on his head…that shot elludes me!
This was SWEET….he had a ball thrown into him and he hit the ball behind him OVER the defender…..Oh YEAH!!
I am so glad his agility training has done him some good!
Another header…….
Thats all for now…this has been a full and busy weekend. Chaulked full of soccer—-LOVED IT!
Yep—still am looking for PUPPIES!!! I know you are out there!!!
We are looking for 3 month olds or younger to document the “OH SO CUTENESS”! only little youngins could give us!
Check out Murphy—yes he is 3 months old and SEE how quickly they grow but look how adorable he is!!
Needing to have a better ‘googlability’ for my site.
Hope this helps!!
Oh—this needs a pic

10am-1pm
I have been wanting to host a trunk show for over a year and it seemed that I wasn’t on time (they have a spring show and a fall and when I say they sell out I mean OUT!!!)
So, I am johnny on the spot for this one and truely can’t be any more happier since I will be able to not only host a show but offer a special MINI SESSION for all those that purchase a Matilda Jane outfit!!!!
Now, this is just a ‘Save the Date’ sort of post so I can get everyone who wants to attend on my mailing list for the OFFICIAL invite!!!
Spread the word because anyone who is anyone will want to have an outfit for their little girl or for themselves!!!
See their website for some examples of what you can purchase at www.matildajaneclothing.com
E-mail me at creativestudios@tcwireless.us if you want on the mailing list.
I was just having these lovely cards printed for my lovely girls to give as tags with their valentine treats that they are giving away next week at school. I love these heart suckers…..and no, they haven’t ate them {YET!}.
Also, wanted to add a note that I have a SURPRISE up my sleeve that I can’t wait to reveal to you all……it is going to be SO COOL and really change my photography in a whole new and exciting direction!!! STAY TUNED!
This is not only a judging by the most elite photographers in the industry but the judges donate their time while proceeds that would pay for their time and expertise is given to a worthy cause Thirst Relief.
If you are a fellow photographer check out this competition and also feel great about doing it!
She is just a little one…..about 8 weeks old.
She is already teething and goes from 100 miles per hour to 0 in 10 minutes.
Todd and I feel in love with her in 5 minutes-the kids in 5 seconds-and the grandparents already headed out to the buy a bed for her so when they watch her she has somewhere to rest!
Do you want to see her??????????????
Yep….she is a puppy!!! She is a Jack Russell and possibly another small dog {chihuahua}?
I think I am going to start photographing dogs…….what do you think????
Okay…so much has been going on since we stepped off our boat and came home to our normal life and all is wonderfully taken with open arms.
I have to admit that a few times I thought, “Take me back to the warm water, no children, lounging and leisure lifestyle of cruising” but really, when I looked at what I “think” is stressing over is truely WONDERFUL!!
In these tough economic times I have wonderful clients who allow me to run around and do what I love by taking their pictures AND get paid for it!!
In the months coming up and the holidays I look back at the year and think of my best friend who passed away, and missing her. Thinking of her little boy and husband and her mom, dad, sister and brother going through the holidays without their mom, wife, daughter, sister. I feel such saddness for me and for them. I turn around and look at my family, all healthy and happy and with simple life worries of where is a clean pair of underwear in the morning.
Wondering why must someone stress over the simple stuff when things and life could be so different and difficult.
I LOVE my life, my family, my job……and I am TRUELY grateful everyday!
Now you are asking; “Is this lady going to post pictures or what???”
You Betcha…….
First is a second session I had with my neice who is a Senior this year. I am using some studio lights for this. YES, it is true that some know I have talked about getting into a studio space of my own and this is still elusive at this time so I am being a bit creative and using some space in my home to make a small studio space. It is cozy and cute and truely is fun to use the lights.
Being an available light photographer I am most comfortable and really LOVE the look of available light photos; but lets face it, here in Michigan we have ALOT of cloudy days. Especially now that we are heading into the winter months our sunlight is very minimal and truthfully it will be bone cold and no one really likes pictures of themselves with red cheeks and boogers running out of their nose. {is this too graphic?}
Here she is….
