A “sweet” Mini-Session on it’s way!

I am so darn tired! I can’t get on a regular sleeping schedule at all.  I suppose that will come with time – I DID sleep for 6 hours straight, two nights in a row though! I don’t think I’ve done that since before I was carrying E.  I’ll chock that up to my pain management medication for now… blame the exhaustion later!

Our neighbor down the street’s house went up in flames the other day   Most of my freshman year volleyball teammates would know where it is – our coach that year lived in it, a small brick house – and we had a end of the season party there out of her garage.  The family that lives there now are cousins to Jenna of KCC (link in blogroll up top) and they lost pretty much everything.  I know I ask for reaching-out a lot – but if you have anything spare around for a: 2 year old boy, 5 year old boy, or 10 year old girl – get at me and I will see that they receive it.  The 5 year old just had his birthday last week and is super-bummed about not having his birthday gifts – breaks my heart!  I guess he got a ton of new power ranger stuff and it’s all gone.  Excellent condition (like, someting you’d snuggle into) blankets and the like are needed as well.  I wont bring it up again, I know you guys get sick of my “save the world” stuff but I’d be silly not to post that there is a need out there that is literally, close to my home… I’d like to think that karma is good and that if my family needed the help, someone would reach out for me when I am unable.

Onto a few other things… I am FINALLY getting to leave the house today!  Going to my mom and dads for dinner tonight with my husband (he’s only invited because I cannot drive currently… just kidding) and the kids. I’m looking forward to lounging on someone ELSES couch for a while!

A few quick photo-faves from the summer:

Little (adorable) K. hanging out with mom and dad at the grove; a cross-processed re-play of the image proofed from summer.

And A. – an ‘09 grad. (and my cousin.)  She and her twinsie are super-picky about thier images and I’m sure I’ll catch hell for this.  L., you’re next:)  Aren’t these two shots gorgeous?!  (insert whine about missing them terribly when they go to college )

I had in inquery in an email the other day asking if I would be doing any spring mini-sessions.  While I normally dedicate scheduled mini’s to the busy holiday rush of “I need an updated picture!”, I had at one point considered making them permanant in my bookings as an option.  I just don’t think that is a wise choice for me right now and will not be offering that as an individual opportunity…

BUT… (!!!)

I have decided (barring any dreaded tears in my shoulder… still waiting) that for the spring season – to offer a quick mini!  Now, I do believe that even the most impatient kids who do not respond well to a quick pressured shoot will enjoy this “Sweet” session.  I am not going to let the cat out of the bag yet but I promise you a “sweet” shot is in the making.  That’s your hint!  Stay tuned if you are interested!  I will be posting more on this as soon as I can get a sample shot (oh, K.! where are you?!) – as soon as I can pick up my camera, that is.  This will be aimed at mostly younger children but we can ditch the “sweet” out of the photo for a headshot if desired – and extremely limited on space due to a small amount of “sweet” resources in hand.

I really wanted to get these done and ready for ordering by valentines day but that’s just not going to happen I don’t think…obviously.

I’m excited!

Happy Sunday, enjoy your monday… *yawn*
