My younger sister, only sister, only sibling, Dee Dee. My life-long friend.

We took time out during Jesse’s senior session to get a few shots of her and each other. I’m glad we did. I think Mom and Dad will be glad we did too.

We may have gotten a few serious shots, but this is how we usually need up. In hysterical laugherter! This is when our husbands and children usually run away. It’s just the best! All the years and stories, (I’ll mention my dinosaur models I came home to find all smashed up by little sister in a fit of anger because I wouldn’t let her tag along with me!) and joys and hardships, we have had each other to share and see each other through. My sister is truly one of life’s best blessings!

I’ll end this blog post with the photo of Dee Dee and son, Jesse. Poor Jesse, he will NEVER forget HIS senior portraits! I told Dee Dee, who was my reflector holding assistant, that I’d have to let her GO after working with me. She kept asking my client what his nationality was. We laughed about this through this part of his session and for the rest of the day! Actually, just thinking about it makes me still laugh. Priceless! That’s it.

Thanks for dropping in.. Keep laughing!

First, get the IDEA you know what you are doing when it comes to making changes on the computer.

Second, proceed ahead with said IDEA and make some changes to your email account passwords. Changes that you WILL NOT be able to REMEMBER once you have moved forward!

Third, realize you have just screwed up TOTALLY and start surfing the internet to find solutions. This ties into the “first” mistake as you are still believing you can FIX THE PROBLEM.

Fourth, follow some of the suggestions you found surfing the internet and DIG yourself a little further in the HOLE…

Fifth, start to get paniky! Now the emails aren’t working at all, and the “Enter Network Password” dialogue boxes for both your email accounts are popping up EVERY couple seconds!

Sixth, seek a life line… call outside help. when that doesn’t work. restart your computer, AGAIN!

Think of someone, an expert that you can call, GEEK SQUAD. Torture the poor person, who is unlucky enough to be the one who gets your call, by trying to explain to him what you did and that you really don’t even know what it was you did.

Seven, Get passed off to Comcast! Where at LONG LAST you get one account set up right!

Eight, Send a help request to your domin host requesting your password. Laurie@ldlphoto.com will hopefully be receiving emails again TOMORROW!

THE WHOLE DAY shot! Just like that. 

thanks for listening!

(p.s. Our email account has either been hacked, or someone who has a virus, the virus is pulling our tntrio@comcast.net address and sending people spam emails from this account. We have ran numberous virus scans and we don’t have one…)

LOGGING OFF… Thank goodness!

The date for our studio Grand Opening is SATURDAY, AUGUST 28th, from 5 p.m.-9 p.m.! I am excited to have our date at long last! There will be PRIZES.. Lots of PRIZES! and a PORTRAIT SPECIAL and FOOD and MUSIC.  More details coming very soon… 

I have a NEW sign! The last sign design was so dark that on one could SEE it. SO.. I set to work and designed this one myself. I’ve reworked my logo as well and everyone can see it now. I really love this one and it’s a KEEPER! (photos of my studio window)…

All for now… Thanks for dropping in…

I enjoyed my few moments chatting with this cutie! I noticed she had her swimming goggles around her neck and when I asked her about them she right away put them on for a photo, without me having to ask, which I was going to do! I loved her bug crocks too.

It was a fun night and I love these shots. (I asked permission to share these photos of the children on my blog from their parents.)

* I have openings for portrait appointments at this time. Call to schedule your consultation at the studio and learn all about scheduling your session. 615.915.3377

                                                                                        Little Wing…

                                                  All her friends call her little wing. She flys rings around them all. She comes to town when the children sing. And leaves them feathers when they fall, and leave them feathers when they fall. Little wing dont fly away when the summer turns to fall. Don’t you know some people say winters the best time of them all- winter’s the best of them all….

I just love the children’s music of Elizabeth Mitchell. Her songs sung with children tug at my heart. If you have small children or Grand children or just have a tender spot for the precious sweetness of childhood, check out Elizabeth’s website…  http://youaremyflower.org/home.html  you can listen to her songs at the site…

My time photographing children is such a joy to me. I delight in the beauty of childhood. Is there anything more precious then the out stretched chubby arm of a toddler, as they seek to give you a flower or leaf? The open joy that dances in their eyes and shines in their laughter, is light to my heart and soul. Truly, you are looking into the face of God when you spend time with a child… When you are ready for photographs that capture the joy of childhood in your child, I hope you will contact me…

Blessings to all….

our beautiful round healthy bradford pear was due for another “trim”, I put trim in ” ” because the trim is more like a hacking! If I were a tree I’m sure I

would have heard it’s protests….

So here it is in all it’s nakedness… Stripped of it’s years of growth and shelter for the many birds that resided in it… I say many birds because there are

very obvious signs on our driveway during the spring and summer… Signs I have to, drag out the garden hose from the other side of the house, to remove.

I wish I could post a audio of said birds protests once the tree butcher’s had left. (OK, that’s a bit harsh to call them butcher’s, but look at this poor remnant left standing!)

The birds were squacking up a storm and flying all around wildly. I made a quick escape into the house before they turned on me..

It’s possible too many trees were cut up in this town…

I am  truly going to miss the bright red ball of leafs this fall and the white  spring blooms that make it look like a giant popcorn ball…

So that’s it for now… in the life of our bradford pear tree…
