100

happy 100th blog post everyone!!

i know for people that have been blogging since the beginning of time, this is not a very significant milestone.  but it is for me.  i've never been a very faithful journaller, so actually churning out 100 posts is a pretty big accomplishment.  it's also an indication that i have been working, which is so great!  i love what i do, i love my clients and i love being able to share these lovely people with all of you.  i also love giving you a glimpse into the family that i adore, though i need to assure you that if you have been lead to believe that our life together is a glamorous one i am sorry. it is not.  but it's real!

to celebrate this momentous occasion, i'm giving things away!!!  this will include free albums for new sessions booked, gifts exclusively for past clients and future ones as well as a contribution from some of my super amazingly talented friends who have agreed to partner with me.  so check back daily to see what the new offer is!

i'm going to kick it off with this post...i will be doing a random draw of all the comments left on this post for 50% off an hour session in 2011.  that's $100 in savings!  so tell your friends.  and neighbors.  and people you pass on the street.  if you want to gain an extra entry, leave a comment, then go and join my facebook group, then come back leaving another comment telling me you did that!

and i changed my header...because i'm shaking things up around here, people!  get ready.

no post is truly complete without a picture, so here you are.  my two day old nephew.  beautiful as beautiful can be.  he's coming over for a full session later this week, so stay tuned for more pictures!

cousin "k"s

so.  my cousins.  sisters.  pregnant.  due within days of each other.  DAYS, people!  what are the chances?  we had to get some shots of them together in this lovely state.  and why not throw their hubbies in for a few as well.  i suppose they had something to do with them being in this predicament in the first place :)

have you ever seen two pregnant ladies standing belly to belly at the grocery store or at church with this look on their faces?  i feel like i have.  i'll let you guess what they were talking about.

the vegts.

these guys just celebrated their second wedding anniversary and wanted to do some pictures just for fun.  i love that!!  cliff and i did that when we had been married a few years with a pro in vancouver...i'll have to dig one of those out of the archive for you.
anyway, i knew this was going to be a fun shoot when i mentioned trespassing and their response was "just tell us when and where".  from 80s sunglasses to face masks to sneaking kisses under elementary school stairs to chucking wildflowers to picking blackberries to the grand finale (a series of jumping shots) we pretty much did it all.

george peary thought this excavator had been set up for his big groundbreaking ceremony.  little did he know...

i'd laugh if a guy with those glasses was hitting on me too.

oh yeah, and did i mention greg is a magician?
