The Real Thing...

Lately I have been really sick. Every night after James comes home from work, I go into my room , lay flat on my back and pray that I don't throw up again. This guy below feeds the kids, bathes them when needed and puts them to bed. Then he cleans up the house so I can wake up to a clean sink every morning. What???? Yes a man does all of that. That is why this is a very special Father's Day for me. Come December, this man and I will have produced 4 children in 5 years. Not to mention what he has been able to accomplish in his professional life. Yikes. He can't believe it either. The picture below is one of my favorites this year. IT has no fancy photoshop effects, no fabulous backdrop or perfect lighting, but it tells you why I love my life
(even though these days all I do is moan and vomit)and this Wonderful Man who makes it so worth living. Happy Father's Day James.

A Sorry Sorry Case

I have been a sorry excuse for a blogger lately. Come to think of it, I have been a sorry excuse for most things in my life lately, a mother, a wife, a housekeeper. This pregnancy is about to do me in. Only a few more weeks and hopefully the nausea will end and I'll have a couple of months of glorious pregnancy until the dreaded itching starts. As I mentioned in my last post we made a very long and stupid trip to Vegas for 48 hours. But I'm glad we did it because we learned we will never, ever do something so idiotic again. I was too sick to even attempt taking pictures until our last pit stop before getting home. Lately I have been focusing too much on taking pictures of other people families and not my own. So here are some recent shot of us. I sure love my new remote shutter release which came in handy for this little family picture. Because there was absolutely no one to be found in this tiny Utah highway town. It was so lonely that I could even pee next the the Forestry Service building without the fear of being caught. By the way, have I ever told you how much I love my downstairs playroom? Like a blessed gift from above my oldest two have decided to play down there by themselves for the last 2 hours while Gabe has been asleep. They are finally getting past the fighting stage and are learning to play together sans fighting! P.S. Can you believe my husband's calves. That guy is in incredible shape. It's weird how the fatter I get the thinner and in better shape everyone else looks.

I'm going to have to change the TItle of my Blog Soon!

Ok- so this is not my photo, but it is one I am super duper excited to post anyway and it is going to count as my photo of the day. Can you gues how old this baby is just by looking at it? If you can...that is how far along I am. What the....I cannot believe I am going to be the mother of 4 children!!!!


WE are headed down to Vegas this weekend for my James' friend's weeding. Not sure why I agreed to this - do I really want to ride in a car with small children while wanting to vomit the whole way? But my husband cleaned up the house after he came home from his 3 hours of THursday night basketball. So I guess I can make myself. To make it tolerable- I got a 4 star hotel for 45 bucks on priceline. ----I get such an adrenaline rush when I'm waiting for the site to tell me if a hotel has accepted my offer. The older I get the more I realize what a dork I am....

Warning...serious sappy cuteness ahead

The other day while doing a newborn shoot for my friend, while the baby was being rocked, I got some great shots of this little cherub. This maybe way too high on the cuteness for some people but I love it. Want one of these of your own offspring---let me know.

Heres some of shots you wanted to see- when I make your cd I'll put them on both color and b&w

Darling Boy

We can change what it says but just wanted to put something on- or it doesn't have to say anything at all.

Robin and Kids Slideshow

Enjoy your slideshow- as soon as I get some more CD's I'll get them over to you- Hopefully I can get to the store today.

Lorne Family Slideshow

Here are your proofs from Saturday. As you can see I put them all in Black and white and color so that you can make a picture wall in either one. Just click on view images and it will take you to view the slideshow....ENJOY

More Weston...

These are the kids of my friend. Again- color and b&w. We did a photo shoot early this morning and although it was less than perfect, we did get some cute shots. Heres a sampling. After the spider incident this was the only one of Emma not making a scared face. THe only one...oh well. WE had to put the little boy in the chair - it was the only way he would hold still. Not the best composition- you pros out there, I know. But at least they are all in the same frame.

So sorry for the black and white and color- I am putting them both on so my feind can see which one she likes. I have had a crazy day with 2 shoots and a doctors appt. You can only imagine what my house looks like. And of course my children could probably be taken away by Child protective services any second. No not really- I didn't mean it, please don't get my kids. I am a good mom, except of course when it come to photography. Kerri, sample of your to come after I get my life a bit more in control- sometime tonight hopefully!

Here's a few more from Lindy's session the other day. I love the one with Anders and his mother. It's so old school. Especially if I turned it black and white. But even though it was high noon, a new photographers nightmare, I loved the lighting in the shade. Aren't the colors nice? And doesn't my friend look good with a serious face- I just look silly.
