I always enjoy working with Jamie. She is such a sweet girl & unbelieveably gorgeous! She is thinking about puting together a model portfolio so we took a variety of headshots and modeling pose pictures. This girl definitely has potential!

Maternity session in Andrews
October 24, 2008 – 1:20 am
Christina’s maternity session: Last week I drove out to Andrews, Texas to meet a wonderful couple who are are incredibly excited to meet their baby boy in just a few short weeks!
Although we have tons of great images from this session, I am only going to share a couple of the G-rated images. I usually don’t share maternity sessions at all but Christina agreed that these particular images were okay to post.
Weekend thoughts
October 19, 2008 – 12:08 am
Random things on my mind this weekend:
1. Canon, could you please release your fall rebates on Monday? I need a new cute little red stripe.
2. Papa Murphys, you are the best! I was in a rush today and not only did you have my pizza out right on time but you went above and beyond & made a couple of photocopies for me too. (I was in a bind - out of paper & on a tight deadline). Thank you!
3. Single mommies & daddies, kudos to you–I have no idea how you do it! Brian is out of town this weekend (he is on a men’s retreat with our church) and I am struggling through the whole working + single parent thing. I’m counting the hours until he returns!
4. I hired a babysitter for the first time ever tonight. Since we have family less than a mile away, I have never needed a sitter before. I think that the whole thing was scarier for me than it was for the kids. Erin, thanks for watching my kids tonight!
5. I am ready for Hannah’s temper tantrums to end. (Sorry you had to witness a bad one Erin). She’s in a silly stage where she likes to dress herself in crazy outfits & needs to have things “just so.” It’s all really cute until something is out of place or missing–that is when the tantrum will begin. Her outfits do crack me up though. Yesterday she wore jeans + two tee shirts (layered, with clashing patterns), a princess gown + socks pulled up to her knees (over her jeans), mittens, and a hat. She was so proud & excited that she did it all by herself.
6. I have had fantastic sessions this weekend! I worked with an adorable young family this morning and photographed a gorgeous party this evening. I can’t wait to share the pictures with y’all!
7. Brian, I love you and I miss you!
8. I need to pick up my house but I’m absolutely exhausted.
9. I’ve been mentoring a photographer & helping her start up a business (she lives in another state) and I’m so excited to see the progress she is making.
10. I like chocolate.
Happy birthday Craig!
October 15, 2008 – 10:26 pm
Craig celebrated his 50th birthday last weekend in Odessa! His wife Laura worked with Kelli “The Social Butterfly” (a wonderful wedding/event planner based out of Odessa) to create an amazing bash! Craig was surrounded with friends & family to celebrate his big day.
Craig & Laura arrived in a cool vintage car. I felt a bit like the paparazzi as I took these pics.
The food was fantastic! These strawberries were some of the best I have eaten in a long time.
This was such a fun party! Everyone enjoyed the loaded food & beverage bars and casino games.
Guests also enjoyed the venue’s outdoor patio/pavilion.
These natural flowers were in bloom on the patio. Aren’t they gorgeous?
Adorable rice paper lanterns glowed with candlelight as the sun set.
