Lots of important things to say right now.

First, I got the new computer and have been up till crazy times in the early am every night getting caught up so want to thank all of you for your patience. You guys are the greatest!

Next, I technically only have one date left through the end of the year for a session and am going to really try to stick to that. Please don’t make me have to turn you away. Get ahold of me soon if want pictures before the end of the year.

Next (yes more), I will be out of town this weekend through wednesday the 4th doing shoots in Idaho and visiting my brand new baby niece! Emails might be delayed so if you have an immediate need, please call me.

and more……ORDERING DEADLINE for ALL prints and christmas cards is NOVEMBER 15th. NO exceptions. I wish to spend the holidays with my family and not running around like a chicken with my head cut off like last year.  (0;  xoxo to all of you for understanding.

almost done…I found out today that some of the emails I sent from my phone over the last few days were not sent.  I need to go through them but if you didnt get a response from me in the last few days please shoot me another msg.

and lastly (i think) here is a new set of cards. I am so using one of these for ours because they are soooo me. Let me know if you want to order christmas cards. I also have lots more if you dont like this set or the last one.

lizet: lovely carddesigns!

Because this is my best friend she has to wait to see all of her pictures til I am caught up after this computer fiasco. So I have to post a few on here for her to see. Shot these while in Central Oregon (Redmond to be exact) of my best friend Cori and her sweet and handsome boyfriend Brandon. Oh and I of course can’t forget to mention their babies….fur babies that is.  I love their dogs and their fat furry kitties. Love me some fat cats like you can’t even imagine. I am not an animal photographer or claim to be good at taking animal photos but have been having more and more clients bring their dogs along to sessions lately.  It has actually been really fun with the dogs.  Now getting a cat to look at you though, that is next to impossible. I think we managed ok though.

Guess what? Apple replaced my computer and I got it last night. I am so excited to be able to get back to editing even though the list is beyond long and makes me go dizzy thinking about it. So much to do before I fly out to Idaho in a week for shoots and to see my brand new baby niece.  Anyways I am going to try and blog a few photos here and there so be patient with me as I recover from the computer dilemma.  First up is these amazing and adorable family.  I have been shooting them since the little one was a bump in mommas belly. I see them every few months and they have gotten to be great friends of ours and amazing clients.  There sometimes is a fine line between clients and friends and am happy to say that these ones are great friends. I love them all dearly and am excited to see the new little one (yep mommas got another one on the way….yipeeeeeee!!!!!) come february.

October 24, 2009

Just a quick little post with good news! I have been battling a broken screen on my iMac for almost two months now. 5 trips to apple (actually more I think) and three screens later it still was broken. Two weeks ago they finally said they would replace it. I got a phone call yesterday that it was in and they replaced it with a brand new vs that just came out this week and they suped it up. I’m giddy to get it today but not looking forward to the backlog of work because of it. Things will return to normal soon yipee!!!
