found a new cemetery





this was just AMAZING ! I was walking around the cemetery and came down over a hill and found this breath taking statue. it is more than life size too...it's giant! I had goose- bumps ! I did not have a lens that went wide enough to capture the complete wing span of the angel. The detail was amazing. what an incredible piece of art work/monument. ---sorry for the shadows

"there's a bug on your foot"


Too cute...almost forgot about this picture...when I was photographing the twins..in their shy little voice, they kept saying "there's a butterfly on your foot"...well we were in tall grass, fields and the lawn. I didn't think much of it. Emma finally came right over to me and started touching my ankle. I totally for got I have a tatoo on my ankle of a butterfly...
Then they kept trying to take it off...too cute.

what an exciting day



First..UPS showed up with my Gift Certificates I ordered from Vista Print...VERY nice cards. I'm so glad I did it. Now I've got 100 Gift certificates for sale :)

Second...my camera came back from Canon repair center. I'm so glad I sent it in. I actually get two eyes in focus now and the noise has been reduced dramaticly. They replaced some parts recalibrated it and gave it a good cleaning.
I was so excited about the difference in pictures. I couldn't decide which picture to share...so I'm sharing them all. :)

Summer Birthdays

are the best. My kids are always jealous because their bdays are in winter months and they always have inside parties. My Neice turned 5 years old yesterday....and boy is it hot and sticky here...just like every where else too. Perfect day for a back yard- waterworld birthday party. The kids had a pinyatta...(how on earth to you spell that?)...thank goodness for the older boys there..the girls were not having much luck breaking it open. A couple babies were there too....and happy they were...

Family with twins.

Here's a link to a 10 mb file that is on my web site.
I made the slide show in Pics to exe. So, It's an executable file.
Download and save. Double click and watch.

Playing with typepad too...might be putting a link up to it.
Ever play with. 30 days free trial. I'll play for a couple of days.
I still can't figure out how to customize it...like a picture at the top.
Is there a forum or good place to lean codes on how to do this?

Asuka Books

So you can find out more about these beautiful books...
http://asukabook.com/index.html



Thanks for stopping by Lynne and Margie

Yes, the first big book is at 50% when you sign up with them.(asuka) My concept was to have something nice and large to show customers....and maybe work it in as a sale item with portraits.
The smaller size is to carry around with me too. I'm finding alot of people I hand my card to I really don't hear much from them, it's the people I see and can show them something right there that I have been able to book a session with them faster if not on the spot. I decided to make the smaller book, as my little 4x6 album just is not nearly as nice as these books are.
Should take about 4 weeks to get my order...I'll let ya know. :)
