Maybe I’m just in a sentimental mood lately, but I wanted to take a moment to remind you guys to TAKE PICTURES.  And if you use a digital camera, remember to actually PRINT them.  Seriously.  One day those pictures are going to mean the world to somebody.  And one more thing - make sure that YOU get in front of the camera once in awhile too

Just a few of my memories…

My dad in the ’50s…. he passed away in ‘98.

My mom when she was a young thang… she passed away in ‘04.

My Grandma Jessee (my mom’s mom).  She used to work in the kitchen at a hospital in OH.  She passed away at the ripe old age of 92 years old in 1994.

Her again -

Me and my parents when I was maybe 10 or so… I know you’re secretly envious of my outfit too.

Me again… wasn’t I a cute kid??  What happened? LOL

My mom and two of her sisters when they were all young (their mom is in the middle)… my mom is the pouty one in front.

Another one of my dad as a young fella…

So anyway, you get the idea.  TAKE PICTURES.  Take lots and lots of pictures.  It’s very affordable with this newfangled technology we have.  And even if you think they’re terrible shots, it doesn’t matter.  I wouldn’t take anything for the blurry, out of focus, magenta photos of my family.  OK - end of PSA.  Back to your regularly scheduled programming

For many reasons, I have decided to take a break from my photography business for a little while.  After September 30, I won’t be booking sessions for awhile.  However, I already have a mini session event scheduled at the Cedar Forest in Lebanon for late October, so if you’re interested in that please email me for more info.  And if you have a gift certificate or are interested in a Celebrating Adoption session, please contact me and I will schedule a session for you even after September. 

Please email me if you would like to be notified when I am scheduling portrait sessions again.  Thanks!
