My Niece
As most of you may already know, this is my number one little model! Her name is Lexi and she is my baby niece. She has the most beautiful eyes and a personality out of this world! I absolutely love taking pictures of her!
She came and stayed with me over easter weekend and she took me to the studio area and wanted her picture taken! Of course I wasn't going to walk away from that opportunity!!

A little playing
Here are a few images I took from this last winter and spring. I went through and sorted out and played with some editing off and on in my free time.
Senior
This is a Senior session I did awhile back. I know I haven't been very good about keeping everyone informed, but I am trying!! Spring fever has set in with me and I have been keeping myself busy outside!! Of course it wouldn't have been a nice day when we done this young man. It was a cold, windy, rainy day, so we decided to do his indoor pictures and meet up for an outdoor session in a few weeks.
This senior did an awesome job!!! He was one of the easiest boys I have done yet! He also had a fun personality, so we had lots of fun!!!

Maternity Beauty!
I had a maternity shoot with the most beautiful pregnant girl I have ever seen!! I did her with her first child too. This is my cousin Meleah and she is such a doll baby!
We were a little rushed on this session, so I didn't get all the time I wanted, so we are planning a reshoot soon!
A little update
Well I have been waiting patiently for spring, working out in the yard in hopes that spring will come to stay! :) I can easily forget all about the camera when it comes to being outside. I have made a point to bring the camera a long and play around a little bit, but not as much as I should.
We did our annual Bristol Nascar trip in March and the weather was absolutely beautiful! We sure missed the regulars that usually go!!! Meleah and Colin are expecting a baby in April, so they weren't able to make it this year. On another note, I am so excited for them and the new addition that will be arriving soon!!! I am more excited to squeeze on the little one and get some great pictures!!!
My oldest daughter just got her license the beginning of April!! UGH! That is all I can say on my feelings with that!! I am predicting that I have lots of anxiety attacks with in her first year of driving! It has been very nice to have someone else run to town for me, but I am not ready for my daughter to be behind the wheel! It has been a challenge to teach her what isn't her turn lane and who has the right away, when everyone else just chooses to drive the way they want. Right wrong or other wise, I hope she doesn't develope the road rage I get while driving! =(
I am so excited for her because I remember that was one of the greatest feelings as a teenager, but I am not ready to turn her loose out there with all the other drivers that don't pay attention!! I am not sure how my parents survived me walking out that door to get behind the wheel!

Is it spring yet?
Anyone who knows me, knows I just don't handle winter well. I see a nice day coming and look forward to it just to see wind, rain or clouds along with those nice days. :( I knew we had 60's on the way and I remember seeing sunshine on the forcast! I go back today to check it all out to see wind! UGH!!!! I am very appreciative of any nice days I can get, but this has honestly been the longest winter ever. :) but I'm so ready for sunshine, green grass, bright colors and warm jacketless days!!!
I just spoke with a girl from Florida a little while ago that I feel like I've known forever. (She is a member of a forum I have been active with for years). After talking to her, I am more ready for spring than ever. Listening to those stories of being able to go outside to a beautiful scene at most any given time just made me realize how brown, cold and dead everything is here. I know we are actually still winter time and I am holding on as patient as I can!
I am excited with some new idea's I have, some new wraps for babies (I call them cocoons) but they are cute!!! I am waiting on some new backdrops to use with kids..... so hopefully this will brighten things up for me and settle my spring fever a little bit.
I am still not keeping up with my blog very well :( and I am sorry.... but I promise, I will not give up on it.
Keep an eye out here because this is where I will post sneak peaks (if I can keep up) of sessions and will keep you up to date with whats been going on.

Shelbyville Rescue Squad Fundraiser
I wrote the following letter to the Shelbycountynews.net Letter to the editor... I wanted to add it here as well. I am hoping to get some idea's together for more fundraising events for the squad this summer.
I’m writing to let the community know a little more about the Shelby County Rescue Squad before our big fundraiser next weekend.
The Rescue Squad is made up of a group of volunteer members who give freely of their time to help rescue victims and hopefully save lives. Our duties include, but are not limited to, vehicle extractions, searching for a missing loved one, assisting the dive team in a rescue situation, assisting medical technicians and paramedics, and so much more. The Rescue Squad is called out through a paging system anytime day or night and during all types of weather conditions. The members respond to the page and are there to assist in any rescue situation.
The Rescue Squad has regular training sessions and meetings to continually stay updated with the technology and equipment used in rescue situations.I have been a member of the Rescue Squad for about 7 years and I know first hand what a thankless job it can be. I, along with every other member, enjoy the job and do not think twice about volunteering the time it takes to help someone in need. It is rewarding to be able to help someone in an emergency situation – there is no greater feeling. I have spoken to several people over the years that ask me, “What is the Rescue Squad?” or “What do you do?” Someone usually asks me about the blue light in my vehicle – they assume I am on the Fire Department.
I know a lot of people are not aware of the Shelby County Rescue Squad and their duties.Unfortunately, the Shelby County Rescue Squad does not get any sort of funding from the federal or state government. We are not affiliated with any other emergency organization. We rely completely on fundraisers or donations to help purchase all equipment that we need to use in an emergency situation.
The Shelby County Rescue Squad will be holding a fundraiser with Roedel Racing, Saturday, March 7, at 3:00 p.m. at the Sit-n-Sip in Shelbyville. We will have the Rescue truck parked outside along with the Roedel race car. We are inviting kids to come and see the equipment that is used in a rescue situation. They can have their picture taken with the truck, equipment, or race car. There will be delicious food available, 50/50 drawings, silent auctions, and door prizes.
I hope to see anyone and everyone there!
