Sorry I haven't been around much... - Most of you probably don't remember me

Anyways... here's what's up w/ us:

Laiken is going thru the "do not listen" stage. You have to tell her 20 times to do something and she still doesn't do it. So in the corner she goes and she's been to bed early alot lately LOL. She had bronchitis last week and sounds like she's getting better.

Sawyer is 9 months old already. He's 21 lbs 6 oz and 30.5 inches tall. He had croup (similar to bronchitis) the week before last and it's still hanging on to him but he's getting better gradually.

Now onto the BIGGEST reason why I haven't been around and posting lately. I haven't OFFICIALLY opened my business up yet, but I AM charging people for me to have fun LOL.

I just had a shoot today of a 7 y/o girl primarily and a few pics w/ her mom and grandmother (I work w/ gram she's only about 50 and acts about 30). I got the pics back and am fairly impressed (yeah yeah I know... shutup LOL). And... my biggest critic (Laiken) says they're "cool", "wonderful", "great shot mom", "ooo I like that one, maybe we can try it on me", and "WOW"! LMAO she's a riot. Usually she'll point out when one is out of focus, off center, or just plain crappy looking LOL.

Anyways, I've been super busy w/ cleaning the basement (where the studio is going), setting up the studio, setting up my new pro LIGHTS, and back and forth to the lab. It's been fun and well worth it though .

If you wanna see some of the latest pics here ya go

As you can see... I haven't had much time to take pics of them LOL and these pics are CRAP compared to what I've been taking (these were my practice shots w/ my new lights LOL as you can tell... not that great LOL).

DansMom replied: I didn't meet you before, but Hi! I'm Tracy and my son is Daniel (almost 1 now). I think those "practice" shots are great---a bit dark on the web post, but that seems to happen to all scanned shots. I hope you get a lot of business---what a great business to be in!

Congrats on starting your own business. That's so awesome! I love the new pictures of the kiddos. And, wow, how they have grown! I think the pictures are great and I am sure your business will be successful!

I am sorry to hear they have been sick. I was hoping having Laiken's tonsils removed would have helped her. I hope they are feeling better soon!

Thanks for the update and try to stop back more often. We've really missed you, although I can understand being busy!
