Been away for a bit I see again. I am not the best person to update this blog but I really do try. Time just gets away from me. So what I have been up too.....Well football is ALL over with (yippy) I have finished up Steph's Sr pics...took some more of Ryan and also Ashton. Then I had a great Friend from school call me and ask me to take pictures of her new bundle of joy...Olivia..well she had different plans then to get her pictures taken. She was awake until it was time to get her pretty little Christmas dress on. For the life of us we couldn't get her to wake up so we are going to retry again later this week. Just gives me and Kari another reason to catch up on what we have missed in each others lives for the last 19 yrs.....YES I SAID 19. Here is one of Olivia out like a light.

OK After some LONG HEATED debates with my husband I think he is finally seeing the light into pricing..maybe. I was on a photo forum that I read on a reg. basis and these are prices from the local chain studios. I would hope people would see my love and passion for photography and understand why I charge the prices I do for portraits. Keep in mind also the chain studios are usually on a time limit of 20mins (i know i worked at one) in that 20 mins you take the pictures ...and SELL SELL SELL. I can say one thing for myself and any other pro photographer there is NO WAY I would only spend 20 mins on all that. Hope you have a great day.

New Coat

I thought I had better come on here and show you guys what Floyd at Mid Michigan Screen Print did for me. He has asked me for action shots to hang in the store. He said he has asked the other photographers to do it but they never had. I went in and was looking for a coat that was warm waterproof and had some nice size pockets. Carrie showed me this one and I told her I couldnt get it right now....she talked to Floyd and here is what I got. THANK YOU MID-MICHIGAN SCREEN PRINTING.

I DID IT!!!!

OK I am so excited tonight. We went to the football game and I was taking pictures of Cassie like I always do at half time. Tonight she did her 2 fire batons. I have been trying to catch the fire without it blurring...Well tonight I DID IT! I was so happy that I showed her mom that was right next to me. Its awsome to complete one thing you set out to do...yep it took me 4 yrs but I finally got it. Cassie is a SR this year and Im not sure what we are going to do when she leaves us. She is National Champ. I know I sure will miss her as Im sure everyone else here in our town will. OK enough jibber jaber here is My new fav picture from football this year.

What a great time I had yesterday. I had the pleasure of shooting the cheerleaders again. I took about 50 cheerleaders pictures. Lori was great. She had the girls all set for me and it went by quick. This is my niece and her freinds. They are in high school but Megen asked me to take her picture so I did. OK here is one since Megen is IMing me wanting to see.

Getting better..and busier

OK I am so happy that Lori from the Chesaning Youth Cheerleading called me and told me they would really love for me to come take the pictures of the squad again this year. It made my day. I have been feeling kinda in a rut since the wedding in July. Maybe its just cause I have no more weddings on the books for the year. All in time thou. I have submitted my price list to ALL 6 football coach's here in our town so we will just have to see what happens with that. Also I was asked to take video of all the teams home games. Also Al will have permission to be on the field taking action shots and people can order them from me. So its finally paying off for the last 4 yrs. of shooting pretty much for free for my sons team. Other then all that I have been working on the wedding pictures from July. I just havent been able to do alot but now that I am not on any meds or crutchs I will get back to myself. I ususally have a wedding done within 48 hours. We started football/cheerleading for the twins so I am at the field 5 nights a week for 2 hours a night, but this is my FAV sport that my children play. So you may here me say I wish it was over but I really dont mean it. :) No new pics right now thou sorry. I will get back in the swing of things soon.

OK I lied here is one of Mike in his 1st week of football. Can you find him???
