In case you're new around here, I am a 'Big' with Big Brothers/Big Sisters. A couple weeks ago, I decided to take my 'Little' on a little final-fun-day before school started. She's a 7th grader this year. Um... when did that happen!? When I was first matched with her, she was in 3rd grade!!

Anyway, I decided to take her down to Stillwater's Jumpin' Little Juke Joint, Eskimo Joe's. I introduced her to the world of the perfect plastic cups, the art of cheese fries, and of course, the ever-so-popular Joe's t-shirt. She was skeptical of its coolness to begin with but by the time we left she was SOLD! Thatta girl! =)

We had fun and today, we decided to have a quick little Joe's photo shoot just for kicks!



Good times, good times.

While I've got you here, I want to remind you we still have time-slots open for our mini-session day. We are no longer going to be doing the sessions at Island Park but we'll keep you posted on the new spot! =)

Guess who we got to see this week? That's right, miss adorably serious. Only this time, she wasn't quite so serious... she was ALL smiles. =) She has really gown and has more personality than ever, and bonus, she just seems to get cuter and cuter every time we see her!

We headed down to OKC for these latest shots and it was a blast. We love getting together with this family and love that we've gotten to photograph little miss from the very start. That's one of the coolest parts of our job!

Here's some of our faves. Is she cute, or what?!?

Chris + Erica + A Couple of Adorable Kids

If you've read this blog for long, or if you know me, you've probably heard of Chris before. Chris is an old friend of mine. I'm still not quite sure how we became friends back in elementary school and I'm not 100% sure how we've managed to stay good friends, but we have. When we were little, Chris made fun of me for running from bees on the soccer field. In high school, I sat with Chris and a couple other good friends, almost every day for 4 years. We always had the same lunch time. We also were in musicals together. In fact, we played a mean Mammy and Pappy in Lil' Abner our senior year. Chris would come over after school to run lines, but before we could, he made me drive him to Sonic (in my sweet little '90 Honda Accord...loved that car) and buy him a banana shake with extra bananas.

WHOA!

In College, I remember getting a late-night message from Chris saying he was heading out soon for boot camp to become a Marine. After he finished 4 years of that, he took some time off and signed with the Army. He's currently on a short leave from Afghanistan.

Since he's been home, he got engaged to Erica!! =) I don't think I've ever seen Chris this happy, so of course I'm happy for them. Erica had talked to me a few weeks ago about doing some pictures of her and her kids and some of her and Chris too. Turns out, we got to do a little engagement session too! We had a blast! I'm so glad we were able to do these and that they're getting to see them before he heads back! Congrats guys!!! =)

You might remember last year we did a day full of mini-sessions. It was a blast and since it's prime family photo time (Christmas is just around the corner), we thought we'd give it another go!


This is sure to be a ton of fun! Here's some more information but of course if you have other questions, don't hesitate to ask! =)

• A Mini-Session Is... a quick, fun way to get a few photos that are perfect for holiday cards, gifts, or just because! It's laid back, hassle-free, and we're all sure to have a good time.
  

• You Get... a fun play date at the park, a CD of memories with 10-15 fully edited photos that are ready to be printed anywhere you'd like, and a print release form that allows you to do just that! You also get an online viewing/ordering gallery so you can order prints and/or other products at 20% off if you choose to do so.

• It Costs... $60. The session fee is due at time of booking to reserve your spot. Make checks out to On The Wall Photography. Once you've contacted us to book your session, we'll send you our address and some additional information.

Hello again!

I thought I'd share our little photo strip we had made at Shawn and Shannon's wedding. This is about halfway through the reception so forgive me for looking like a complete mess. Still, I thought it was fun!



Yikes!!

Anyway, there's your laugh for the day! =) Have a good one!
