Hey blog world! Sorry it's been a while (to say the least) since I've posted. We've been busy revamping some things and we're so excited for what 2010 will bring and what we'll be able to offer clients! I've got a smile on my face just thinking about it! =) With that, we are in the process of updating our pricing (and several other things coming down the pipe) so keep your eyes out for the changes on our Web site. I'll also post a little note about it here too and will explain when this takes effect, etc... I just wanted you to be aware it was coming and also let you know that these changes do NOT apply to those who have already booked a session and/or event for 2010. So don't worry about that!
Now, on to the fun stuff! A couple weeks ago Dac and I tried a little something out of the ordinary. We took pictures inside, with a light (not just natural light like we typically do), AND we took pictures of a cute cute cute little bitty baby (it's rare we get to do this). =) Seeing as how it wasn't our usual session type, it was a challenge, but it was fun, and I can't wait to do it again!!
Here's a few pictures of the little miss and her proud mom and dad who you probably remember from here. Enjoy!

So what do you think? Isn't she an absolute doll? =)

Hooray for a post! I've been excited to share this one. We did Ciera's senior session a few weeks ago. It had been scheduled for early October but you may remember we had a crazy cold front come in that was just way too ridiculous to do pictures in. So, we rescheduled. Just so happens that we got a sunny, fairly warm day before yet another cold front came our way. We lucked out.
Ciera wasn't so sure about having her picture taken at first (we all know it can be a bit intimidating...) but she did great and I think she may have even had a little fun before it was all said and done. =) We looooove to have fun. So enough chatter...let's get to the good part!!
Isn't she gorgeous?
So, remember how I was determined to take pictures of ALL our Christmas adventures? Well, guess what... we joined my parents for our annual eat and look at Christmas lights extravaganza... and guess what else... yep... I forgot to take pictures. How does this happen?! It was a great time. We had all been in Wichita shopping that day, so we just met up, ate our weight in Texas Roadhouse, and headed out to enjoy the sights. It's been a tradition of ours for years and years and is one of my absolute favorites. What are some of your favorite holiday traditions?
Here's a look at some of our other Christmas plans. We'll go to my parents house Christmas Eve for snacks and games. Christmas morning we go to Dac's Grandma Jo's house for waffles, then we head to my grandma's house for a big way too delicious lunch, then that night I'll help Valerie cook for Dac's family Christmas. You may remember last year's theme was "Hawaii Holiday" and this year it's "Cajun Christmas." More on that later. The day after Christmas I'm (probably regretfully) joining Val for... gasp... after Christmas sale shopping. I normally avoid this kind of thing like the plague but I have grand plans for our decor next year so I've got to stock up on the cheap. Sunday, we'll all go over to Dac's Aunt Darla's for the annual Call Christmas get together. That's right, busy week ahead. I think it'll be fun. I'm going to try really, really hard to get pictures at these events and share them with you.
If I don't talk to you before then, have a VERY Merry Christmas!!

A few weeks ago we photographed another cool senior. Like a couple others we've done the past couple years, this one was... weird. Daric is Dac's cousin (mine too now) and I vividly remember he and Griff walking up to the front of church for Children's Time at the ripe old age of 3 or so. Seniors. Really? I guess so.
We had a good time during this session. It was a little windy but we couldn't have asked for a better day, especially considering it was November. I think Daric shocked us all because he had plans. He knew what he wanted, where he wanted it, and what he wanted to wear for it. I loved it! Daric's a guy's guy. He loves hunting, the outdoors, his truck, weight lifting...you get the idea. So all of these things were included in his session. Here's a look at what we got:
On a side note, Christmas is coming, well, NOW! I can't believe how quickly it sneaked up on me this year. I am usually ALL over Christmas time. I love Christmas music, Christmas decorations, Christmas cookies. =) This year is different. I still love all these things but I haven't been enjoying them. I didn't even put up our tree!!! Can you believe that?! I guess it's the whole new crazy house and crazy schedule thing we've had going on. I'm just left singing "where are you Christmas?" in my sad Cindy Loo Hoo voice. I have my first Christmas party of the season tonight, maybe that will jump start my Christmas-loving motivation. I'll tell you what though, as I've placed all things Christmas aside this year, I've been more aware of the real Reason for the Season than ever before. huh. Happy Friday.

This was kind of a different session but a fun one. These guys have been friends since, well, forever, basically. Eighteen years later and they're still going strong (that sounds like an anniversary announcement doesn't it?) So, before they head off to college, etc... we got some BFF pictures for them! =)
Here's just a few:
PS - They're all outstanding athletes, so of course we had to incorporate that. I'm thrilled they came with props! Oh, and on a side note, we took these at Curry Field - our football field/stadium. We're getting a brand spankin' new stadium that will be ready for football season next year, so this was the last year for games at Curry.
In other news, the wainscoting in our newly orange dining room is almost complete! All that's left is the chair rail and a little bit of touch up work. Just in time for Thanksgiving at our place! I imaging you all could care less, but I for one am thrilled! We still need some curtains, new lighting, and a rug to make it really complete but I'll show pictures when we get there.
