Thankful Thursday

Today is the first Thursday of November.  The first Thankful Thursday.  I have so many things to he thankful for this year, but this one in particular begins the series of Thankful Thursdays until Thanksgiving.

I want to thank YOU.  My fans, followers, friends, and family who are my biggest supporters.  Thank YOU for all you do, the dedication to help put my name out there, scheduling photo sessions, etc.  You guys ROCK!

I’m making this a double Thankful Thursday.  I’m also thankful for HUGE changes in my business (and life for that matter).

And by huge, I mean going from this….

To this….

Yup.  This girl is changing her photography name. :) With divorce comes change, and change means changing my name back to my maiden name.  Being that my photography business included my married name, I have decided it’s time for a change.  BIG change.

Special THANK YOU to FookaDESIGNS by Shanon Fouquet for the AMAZING logo!!! Go find her on Facebook and LIKE her!! She rocks!!!

With this change comes different options, packages, etc.  New Facebook fan page! Everything new!  So in December I will be putting together my Facebook fan page so I will need your help in getting everyone to like it and become fans!  Starting in January new pricing will go into effect (think affordable!!!) and February the website will be relaunched with the new name. :)

I know! Big changes right?!  I love it!!!!

Thankful Thursday

Today I’m thankful for the awesome weather (as I type this I know that Friday is going to be yucky. BOO!).  Without this awesome weather, I wouldn’t have documented this…

Caught this smile…

Shared this moment…

Heard this giggle…

Saw this excitement…

And loved the happiness this little boy shared…

Thank you awesome weather for allowing me to share special moments like this with my two little boys and my puppies.  Now let’s not be mean and take it away for a long time.  I can handle a day, but not more than that. :)   Gracias!

Lansing MS Spring Bazaar *Events*

I had the pleasure of having a booth at the 1st annual Spring Bazaar to help raise money for the Lansing Middle School graduation party.  I was so excited. This was my first ever photography booth.  For sure a learning experience, but worth every moment.  Thank you to everyone who stopped by!   I hope you enjoyed visiting with myself, Renee of FouCAKES, Vicki of Beyond the Bloom (website coming soon!!!) and Alicia of Off the Chain Jewelry!

This Time… *My Life*

This time last year, Ben and I were getting ready to make the third biggest announcement (1st obviously being our engagement and 2nd my pregnancy with Caeden):

This year our big announcement is here and is ready to celebrate with us as we celebrate our first Christmas as a family of four…

Our Family wishes your family a joyous Christmas and a fabulous 2011.
