I actaully took these last night, so im cheating but they are to adorable not to post! I'll take something else today too though, I'm in one of those " must have my camera in my hand" moods!

A little Thank you...

To Rosie, and all of you guys who post comments on my blogs, and/or email me wonderful comments...I just had to publically say thank you so very much {{{big hugs}}}

It really means SO much when someone takes the time to leave such wonderful little notes to me, and it just makes my heart smile. Its one thing to *think* nice things, but when someone takes the time to actually leave me a note, that just really means so much to me! I know this is a sappy silly post, but I am very sentimental today and have just had such a great week of client stuff, family stuff and just life in general, so I wanted to make a point to tell EVERYTHING who has contributed to my " feeling the love" this week THANK YOU...from the bottom of my heart.

Day211

Okay, so 11 for today because I need to show a location :) It was high noon, so as far as ideal of "people pictures" no, not so great, but it could not be helped, I'm a busy lady...only time I could get there!! My boys are in a few, as you can see they were just so thrilled to even stand there, haha!! I think this is such a beautiful spot, my goodness this is just 11 pics, I could have taken SOOO many more!! After 5:30-6:00 this spot would be sooo great, I'm really excited to use it!

Day210

Look at him!!! This is one of my littel Baby Planners, I bet you remember his newborn pics of him in a red bowl wrapped in a cream blanket! Didn't he get big?!?! Oh my, he is just so cute!!!!!!! His mommy and daddy are so very sweet and we did this session at Shore acres park, (...which has NO shore line right now with the river being so high!) and we got some CUTE shots, I have been proofing in bewtween my busy week, I just wanna pick him up and hug him, hehehe!! I had to post this one, I love that little smile!

Day209

Day208

I think this shot isso cute, so I had to post it for Monday! It was a little mini session, her momma scrapbooks, we are gonna work together to promote each other :) If you need scrapbook info, ask me, I'll get you her info!! *wink*

However, I had a session that day too right before her, and so I wanna post one of those too! ....but, I will save it for today (Day210) becauuuse thats what I'm proofing right now!

Day207

This is what the result is when you grab your camera from your nice cool air conditioned house, and RUN outside to the 90 deg weather to get the barn at sunset!!.....Um, a very fogged up lens! hahah...thats why it looks dreamy, thats right from the camera, no "dreamy" effect needed in this case!

Day206

Oh how I missed my blog. I'm so happy to have it back!!!! Okay THIS is Day206....I had a family session, with a GREAT family, andI was taking some shots of thier oldest little girl in the cornfield...well, her cute little sister snuck right in and got in the action! I have a whole series of these that I just adore...they are the cutest little girls!!!

Catch up---Part4 (random clients)

Okay, here are just some random clients! It was hard to choose, I'll post more on my business blog of some of my sessions because narrowing it down to 1, its just to hard!




I think this mommy is SOOO beautiful, and that little baby's eyes are just...WOW! I love this shot.




This is my sister!! Yes I know we look alike, haha! She is such a hottie, she has lost like almost 40 pounds and looks amazing, we took tons of pictures of her, I just love her to piece's! I think this one is pretty, but it was hard to choose one!










And THIS picture...okay it is officially one of my new Favorites, I L.O.V.E, LOVE it!!! Oh her sweet little face, and those pretty eyes with that brown and tan and pink? Oh MY.

Oh this baby....how I love her!! I look forward to her coming in SO much!!!

















This couple was down right adorable, I got some many shots I love of them, they are on my website intro images now(the slideshow images at the begining)...had to use them, hello!

This little sweetie just melted my heart! I normally favor the "naked baby" newborn stuff, but this one just is too adorable to not love, her little smirk as she was peacefully sleeping, oh my, I just love it.

Catch up---Part3

Random snapshots with my toy camera, hehe!! Its nice to have that little thing in my purse all the time, but yet the pics are just not exciting!!

2 of the boys cousins had there b-day party at a lake and went swimming. I swear it was the hottest day ever that day, so I hid in the shade, you get one picture, haha!

Lukers got a balloon...it went everywhere with us, until it finally died, haha

Jeremiahs new hair cut! They both needed cuts so bad, and a place in East Peoria was having thier Grand Opening one Sunday afternoon, so we stopped in...it was like 3.99 cuts or something, how cheap is that?! hehehe! We loved thier cuts though!

Lukers new hair cut one Sunday afternoon!

Okay, so these will not be in order, not even a little bit, but I'm just gonna post some pictures you have been missing! No idea what days I took most of them anymore...but thats okay! I'll start fresh with a new picture from today as well when I'm all done and get back to me "DayXXX" posts!!!

YEA!

Do you SEE that? Do you?? Huh, huh, huh??? I know, I cant believe it either!!! You know what that means...I don't have to neglect my blog anymore, I have internet on my computer again, yea!!!...and FAST internet to boot! Happy-happy, joy-joy!

Just as a Public Service announcement....If you ever should choose to go with WildBlue, GotSky...for satellite internet, do NOT and I repeat, DO NOT sign up directly thru the company...we made that terrible mistake. We shold have just found a local dealer and went thru them, but nooooooo we saw the "great deal!" online and then had to wait 2 MONTHS ( not 5 days like they tell you) for an installer, and the installer....well, I'm a nice girl, and I will not go into how I feel about him :) I would just like to forewarn everyone I possibly can!!!!!!!!!!!!! buuuuut...did we save a Ton of money??? Yes, we really did...we saved LOTS of money, so even though we had the headahe of the whole situation, we paid just a fraction of the price to go locally...so what are ya gonna do? Nothing, just be happy its done! hehe!!

Alllllll of that being said, I HAVE MY BLOG BACK!!! yeaaaaaaaa!!!
