Okay these past 2 weeks have been super busy!!! Finally I'm taking a break for a couple days to get caught up... So the wedding was a huge success!!!! I LOVED IT!!! I will post a few pix once I get some done! There are some on my website already!!! Go take a peek!!!! xoxo

PAY IT FORWARD CONTEST!! Okay -- I've decided to start doing some contests....

Do you know of someone that truly deserves family pictures? Send me an email with their story to jmephoto@yahoo.com.. In one month 3 anonymous judges will read all the stories that have been submitted and pick a winner... There will be no names announced anywhere UNLESS the winner decides he or she would like to share their story... The judges names will remain anonymous and they don't even know who each other is... No names anywhere... So send me a story... One month, that's all you have!

Oh and the winning family will receive a free session and a free portrait package! They will not have to pay for anything!!!

Also watch next week for something pretty cool!!! Details soon!!!

So tomorrow I'm off to a wedding in Danville! Finally-- LET THE WEDDINGS BEGIN!!! So exciting!!!

It's been a very busy week! Ethel Edith came and began the work on my house! I can't believe the improvement in my tiny bathroom! I'm going to post pix!! I feel bad for them-- now their starting on my studio! It's a mess!!! No room and tons of stuff! Super anxious to see what they will come up with!

The fundraiser for the American Cancer Society was a huge success!!! We raised $2,000! How cool is that! You must take a quick second and run to Dairy Queen and see the awesome picture I put up of Everett!!! It was my fave of the day! You can also see a couple on my fan page on facebook! I think we will be doing something in the fall! Just not sure yet exactly what it will be! So watch for that!

Okay I'm off! Will post pix soon!!! Oh and you can be sure to watch for wedding pix as soon as I get home!!! Love it!!!!

xoxo

Okay so I know I'm not doing so well at this blog thing!! I will get better!!!! There has been a ton going on!!! Very busy all ready!!!

Super excited about a wedding next week!! Ahhh I can't wait! Not nervous at all! Just excited!

This weekend will be crazy busy-- Saturday is the fundraiser for the American Cancer Society! From 9-5 we will be taking pictures of little ones with ducks, chicks, goats, lambs and I'm so hoping the baby calf will be able to make it! It will be adorable! I can't wait to capture the faces of these little ones with the animals!! So that being said-- if you don't have an appointment you should get one... There aren't to many left and you won't wanna miss it! Send me a message if you need the info on it! Or it's on my facebook page!

Okay another super exciting thing that's about to start!!!!! The girls from ETHEL EDITH are coming to redecorate my house and get it ready for me to sell! I don't have time to do it nor could I if I did have the time... We are doing one room at a time and I've given them no instructions!! They can do what they want!!! I CAN'T WAIT! They are starting on my teeny tiny bathroom soon!! I will be sure and post before and after pix for you all to see!
Their spring show is coming up and I will be taking pictures of all of it for them!! Make sure and watch for the info on this and come on out!! It's gonna be awesome!!!

A senior session that I've been working on... She was a trooper and didn't mind the cold and rainy day we had!!!

Such a sweetie!! Don't you just love those cheeks!!!!

I just did a last minute senior session-- It turned out pretty good since we had crappy weather!! She was a trooper and didn't mind a little cold and rain!!!

What a beautiful day!!!! FINALLY!!!! Of course my session tonight is inside--DARNIT!! That is unless I can talk Kris into moving all of her tumbling mats outside!! Don't think she'd like that idea much!!! So tonight I will be doing all of the tumblers and I'm pretty excited about trying to get some fun action shots of the girls as well!!! We'll see what happens!!

I'm so excited!!! 2 weeks til another wedding!!!!! YAY!!! I can't wait!!!!!! I love weddings!!! I'm such a softy for "moments".... Shhhh don't tell anyone!

This weather I think is making people a little crazy also-- I got a text first thing this morning from my very good friend Beth-- This is what it said-- HELLO spring!! Hot diggity dog this is awesome!!!!
Yes she said hot diggity dog!!!! (she's gonna kill me for this!) She's so funny!!!

Okay enough for now!! I'm off to play the wii for just a bit with Drake and Jude!!

Oh by the way one more thing-- Chris and Tassi Beals rental house is open if anyone is interested!!!!

I can't believe it's starting to get nice out!!! Ahhhh I'm so happy!! However, my son Drake just informed me he wasn't ready for April! I asked him why and he said-- That's when all the storms come!!! He's so afraid of storms! Poor little man!!!

Right now I'm watching this rain--I have an engagement session this afternoon!! I wanna shoot it outside!!! So please rain--GO AWAY FOR JUST A BIT!!!
