THE I'M BACK IN ACTION SPECIAL FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FRIENDS OF FRIENDS!

I'm running a Special now until the end of October. Book a photo session or a wedding and you'll get "HALF OFF" the sitting fee / wedding fee and prints! You ask, "Why am I doing this?" I'll tell you, "I took a some time off from doing my photo business, largely due to not having a camera and felt like a just needed a break. During my time away I helped a friend get her business going, now she's off and running! I learned a lot of great things working with her. I now have a camera in hand and a renewed vision to "Create Beautiful Photos for People," the Special is my way of saying "Hey, I'm back in the saddle and ready to giddy up!"

Random photos from the week gone by...

I had a couple of photo shoots this week, on the way home from one of the shoots I went to a nearby park to take a photo of this tree at dusk...I do love trees, have I mentioned that before? JOKES, I know I have numerous times. You're probably getting tired of it...humor me, please :)
Flowers by an old, in need of painting, fence, what's not to love about this?
Shoes, rusty grate and weeds...again what's not to love? On this glorious Saturday afternoon I should be grocery shopping right now, I'm not! I keep finding things to occupy my time that seem ever so much more important. I'll leave you with " The Train & Ted."

And Fall Approaches...

Fall is on it's way!!! I for one am "SUPER" excited about it, anticipate it's arrival, and love it and want it to last and last! Fall in Michigan is Beeeeeee-UUUUUUU-Tif-FULL!!!!

The end of summer signifies Sunflowers and Zinnia's, two of my favorite flowers! These are from a friends garden. She brought them to work and had them on her desk in this cute polka dot vase that she got at a resale shop for like a quarter. The flowers are lovely my friend is lovely and I thank her for sharing them with me (she brought me my own bouquet a couple of days later, so nice). I'll be making some cards out of these :) If you're reading this Peggy, get to WORK!!!

BON FIRE Time...

A couple weeks back I took myself to a bonfire...I love bonfires!

I'd love to tell you that we had big huge fun building this bonfire and enjoying it for many hours late into the night, but I'll tell you the truth...
It was muggy, buggy and hotter than blue blazes and not from the fire!
The wood was wet, and after many failed attempts...we gave up and went inside! We learned some lessons:
  • Dry wood works best, we knew this already but were so confident that our mad fire building skills would allow us to start a fire anyway, they didn't :(
  • Bonfires are truly a beautiful thing in the Spring and Fall, when the air is cooler than the fire you're building.
  • Mosquitos are not our friends and very pesty!!!!
  • Hanging out together is the most important thing whether or not you have a fire.

What have I been up to?

Let's see, what have I been up to? I took a trip to the Secret Beach last weekend to stay until the stars came out. Got there just in time for sunset, then stayed until about 10:30 pm, everyone had cleared out, and I waited, and waited and waited for the stars. But, the bugs were so bad and I failed to realize that the stars coming out would take longer than inland so I left after I saw two stars. I'm planning the star gazing fest when it's cooler and the bugs aren't so thick and when I have someone with me (it's kinda scary there after dark, it's remote). This photo is on my way out...there's one star :)

I did a Family Photo Shoot with my oldest son and his beautiful family...
Look at these lovely ladies...I love them!
I did a Baby/Family photo shoot for a friend from work, it was my baby shower gift to her. Keep that in mind people, photo shoots as gifts. I have Gift Certificates available!!!!

I love the look on his face, he was just so enthused to be holding his toes...oh the joy!
Then I did a Senior Shoot for the lovely Leena...
These are just a couple of my favorites...
She's rocking some sassiness here...I love it! I kept telling her that she was "SUPER cute" and I wasn't lying, she is SUPER cute!

Looking UP in all Seasons...

This morning in my daily quiet time I was reminded to "Look UP!" I remembered the photo of this tree I took. I love the perspective of this photo, it causes you to look up. I've mentioned on this blog before that I love trees, one of the reasons is that to totally embrace the beauty of a tree you have to look up. It's a reminder for me to quit looking around at circumstances, to quit focusing on all the things that come to bring confusion and keep me from making progress on the path that God has for me. It's a call to quit listening to the voices that are trying to keep me looking around and not UP at Him, at God! Whatever Season of Life you're in look UP! Keep your eyes on Him! He's got His eyes on YOU and is smiling at YOU, loving YOU, longing to lead you in the best possible way....

Girl Breakfast Fun!!!!

It was this girls birthday in July...

She just keeps getting prettier....
We have a tradition in our family...
If you're a girl and it's your birthday...
We have a girl breakfast at the restaurant of the birthday girls choice...
We love our girl time...
Drinking coffee...
Yummy delicious coffee...
Did I mention we all like coffee?
We love God must most assuredly enjoy coffee...
For this "Girl Breakfast" Katy's choice was Mezza...
They have fresh ground french press coffee pots that you can order...
The fun was exhausting for the youngest member of our troupe...
Plus the chairs are stinking cute...
She's probably dreaming about coffee...and it's aroma and it's goodness!
