Say "Hello" to my little friend(s)...

My life as I know it is about to change. At least for 12 weeks. ;) Al and I and three of our friends are joining the Long Beach Losers. This girl is going to need all the inspiration she can get. And that means some new music on my iPod, visions of collecting cash in my head, thinking of my baby girl being proud of her mama and a new pair of Nikes doesn't hurt.

These will be two of my best friends in the next few weeks. Along with the treadmill. And along with some fruits and vegetables.











And if a new pair of pink running Nikes isn't enough, some pink laces, skull and heart socks should help do the trick. Whatever it takes.



What's the slogan? Just do it. ?

I can. And I will.

Brandon & Joelle

You may remember Brandon from this, this, this, or this session and you may remember Joelle from this and this post. I waited forever to post these photos because I had to and then when I could, I had so many other things on my plate that it took me even longer! LOL

The reason I had to wait is because Brandon and Joelle met on "Parental Control" and I couldn't post pictures of them together until it aired. I think it's sooo cool these two met the way they did and really, they are both not only incredibly good looking, they are extremely sweet. I've met some great people via this crazy internet and these are just two of them!

These are just some fun shots of them that we took when we did their individual shots. They both are very talented, have lots of great projects on the horizon and we wish them the best of luck!

Cynthia & Jamie - WEDDING SNEAK PEAK

Wow! A wedding in the country last weekend and a country-themed wedding this weekend...this girl is in HEAVEN! I love me some country!!

Yesterday had so many touches of "country". I loved it! Slideshow to come in a couple of weeks, but here is a sneak:

Nothing like some Jack to start the day:


I LOVE cowgirl boots!!!!!!!!!!!!






The wedding/reception was at Knott's Berry Farm and I love how the roller coaster was caught here:








I couldn't decide on the two. This one may go in my kitchen. :)


Couldn't decide between these two either...so they both get posted!

Happy 7 Months, Baby Girl!

Dear Riley Grace,

Your 7 month pic:


Wow, wow, wow...time is flying by! I cannot believe you are 7 months old! So let's see what has happened in the past month:

- you have started to sit up on your own!
- you have started scooting in preparation to crawl - YIKES!!
- you have two teeth coming in (and it's been fairly easy for you from how you have been acting)!
- you took your first trip cross country to see relatives and attend Aunt Kori's wedding!

You were soooo great on the plane rides...we took 5 of them!! Everyone either said, "Wow, she is so good." "I didn't even know there was a baby on the plane!" "Unbelievable!" Everyone was so impressed! I asked the flight attendants if you could take a picture with them and they said, "How about with the pilot?" I was so excited and then the pilot invited us INTO the cockpit and had Daddy sit in one pilot seat and I sat in the other pilot seat! That is unheard of in this day and age! I was so excited after that. Grammy Roma reminded me that I, too, have a picture in the cabin of the cockpit on my first flight and now you have one!







This pic was taken at Uncle Ben's and Aunt Emily's house:


This is your first pic in the countryside that is beautiful upstate New York. I love this pic because we asked Aunt Emily for a blanket to use to get low on the ground to take some fun shots of barns and stuff. She gave us this blanket and when I ended up using it for a picture of you, I realized that Daddy's high school is on the blanket. I think it's so cool that you have a picture sitting on a blanket that has Daddy's high school on it and the countryside where he grew up in the background. So cool!



It was so great that everyone that you got to meet you and now I'm kind of sad that they don't get to see you that often. We hope to visit upstate New York at least once a year and hopefully some of them will be able to visit you out here. At least I have lots of pictures of the different people you met. You are so loved.

That's about it, baby girl. I love you so, so, so much!

Love,
Mommy

Jody & Bobby - SLIDESHOW

Love this couple! If you missed their engagement session, you can see it by clicking here. I just found out that they like country a lot...WHOO HOO! I wonder how much country will be played at the reception? Enough to wear my cowgirl boots and cowgirl hat? Hmmm.......

JUST KIDDING!! I would never wear that to a wedding! Although, I did do a line dance with my country friends at my own wedding and we all wore our cowgirl boots for that dance! :)-

I know I have a bunch of readers (because I check my stats weekly) but I post so many of my images on my albums on Facebook and a bunch of you are now my Facebook friends and leave comments there, so I sometimes wonder if I should still blog here. I'm deciding to still blog for any new readers or friends and family of sessions.

I like to include at least two images for those that don't stick around for slideshows, so here are two that I love. (I have these saved in color for them, as well.)





So for all my internet friends, for the friends and family of the soon-to-be bride and groom, and especially for Jody and Bobby, here is a slideshow of some of my favorites. Brad Paisley even dropped by...that's how special these two are. ;)

Jody and Bobby, thank you for including us in your special day. It is going to be beautiful and fun (just like the two of you!) and we CANNOT wait!!
