Happy Friday!

Today is just a beautiful day!  The sun is shining, no coats are needed, Mya and I have had a great day and Ryder is coming back home from N.J.  Woohoo!  No more single momma here.  This morning while Mya and I were eating breakfast, the sun was shining in on these roses and I just had to grab my camera.  Sun these days is rare so I had to take advantage of it.  Happy Friday, everyone.  Don’t forget the photo contest ends tonight at midnight!!

HO-LY MO-LY!!!!

Okay, so I decided to do this photo contest just for fun thinking there would be a few votes but boy, was I sooo wrong!!  Every time I check my email there are tons of votes.  I can barely keep up!  The number of hits on this site are insane.  The most hits I had had in one day before this contest was 142 but for the last few days, there have been 300 on one day, 450 the next, and so far today there have been 170!!  Wowee!  You people are serious when it comes to winning.  😉  Thanks for all of the exposure!  Can’t wait to see who wins!  I have a feeling I know who it might be.  Hmmm…..

Just came across this as I’m finishing up pictures from last weekend.  This picture makes me want to go wake Mya up and hold her.  Oh the love of a mom and her child.  It’s like nothing else in the world!

Photo of the Year Contest

So I am done with sessions for the year so I thought it would be fun to have a photo contest.  I’m going to put up some of my favorite photos from the year and let you readers vote for which one is your favorite.  The owner of the winning picture will get a free 8×10 canvas of that photo.  To vote you must leave a comment and in the comment leave the title of the photo that is your favorite.  You can get friends and family to help you vote.  I will close the voting on Friday night at midnight so get started!  (One vote per person, please.)  🙂

Santa Came!

So Santa came to our neighborhood this afternoon.  Mya is terrified of him!!  She wants nothing to do with him but she will tell you that he is “niiiiice” and he brings you “toys”.  😉  Her outfit was just so cute (from my mom) and the light was just amazing so I had to do a little shoot out in the parking lot.  lol

The Santa thing lasted about 2 minutes with Mya so we went to the park afterwards.

So this is our Santa picture this year.  lol  What  a cool Santa to do this for us.

Hey Coach!

This morning I took pictures for the old P.E. teacher at the school that I used to work at and her family.  Before I left the house, I thought, “Oh, a 4 year old and a 4 month old, this will be easy!!  😉  Well, the 4 year old swore that he was NOT having his picture taken, the minute that he saw me.  And so we started with the baby and she was easy.  Shortly after, the 4 year old slowly started warming up to me and was doing great but then the baby started crying.  lol  I had a fun time this morning no matter who didn’t want their picture taken.  I got some great pictures of them all and I can’t wait to show more.  Right now my computer is going CR-AZY!  So I’m going to restart it and try again later tonight.  So here are just a few pictures that I was able to get done.  Thanks, coach, for meeting me so early.  I know it’s hard to get the family out the door early like that so I appreciate you working with me and it was so nice to see you again and to get to hang out with your family!  (Just added more.  🙂  Computer is working again.  Whew!)

Not quite warmed up to me yet:
