When I saw that this week over at I heart faces was for dogs, I had to enter. Edgar, my dog is my second son. andy change I get to show him off is a good chance to me! ;) Edgar’s favorite thing to do (besides stealing food from eman) is to swim in the river. He is VERY good at it and we really ant to get him in to dock diving. HE3 would follow the sticks to the other side of the river if thats what it took to bring them back! He has also pulled out full trees form the river. Retrieving sticks from the river is one of his passions in life.

I have always thought that Edgar would be an excellent TV dog, because he is VERY well behaved, and with just a little bit of food or a ball I could get him to look any where I want him too…plus he is gorgeous! I mean look at his fur…it has a very pretty natural shine to it. He is also an excelent Best friend to Elijah man! ;)

If you want to see more pet photos head on over to I hart faces and look at all of this challenges entrees.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

jonceemay — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 00:39:11 +0000

Do you remember that days when you use to wait anxiously for the first snow? Remember when snow was an amazement, not just a inconvenience? Sure shoveling the driveway is a cold tedious chore, and driving is slowed down considerably, but snow is wonderful isnt it!?! :)

Today we took elijah out in the snow, and he helped his daddy build a snowman! It was not a big snowman, but it was still fun! :)

Elijah was having fun adding more and more snow to the snowmans head.

It gave the snowman a cone head! ;)

He really had alot of fun! I am so thankful that I can watch my son have fun and enjoy one of lives little wonders…SNOW! This holiday season I encourage you to go outside and let loose! Build a snowman, have a snowball fight, or go sledding! HAVE FUN! Enjoy this time with your kids, or by yourself, but just do it! You will be glad you did!

But Please, dont eat Yellow snow! :)

Montana, my heart belongs to you!

jonceemay — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 06:00:23 +0000

I love Montana! I do! It is my home. I recently got to go to Montana to visit for almost 2 weeks! It was great, and probably the longest I have been there since I left to go to college. I was a working girl, so I never got to go home for the long summer breaks. What do I love about Montana you ask? Well, I love the people! I love that the largest town is still relatively small (almost half the size of Boise) and that everyone, for the most part, is friendly. I love that I can drive just about anywhere and see cows grazing and wheat growing on the side of the road. I love that I know the roads like the back of my hand, and even the names of the smallest towns are written into my memory! I Love the openness and beauty of it all. From the majestic Rocky mountains, to the cool of the lake. From the open fields to the mighty River beds. From Highway 2 to Interstate 90…it is my home! Here are a few photos I took while taking my tour of the western part of the state, and if you have never had the pleasure of driving trough Montana, do it!!! what are you waiting for?!? Its great!

Oh…its haying season, by the way! :) The Next photo I took while I was driving…I like to call it my safe version of drive by shootings! ;) However, I dont recommend anyone trying it…both hands on the wheel please! :)

I did not bring a tripod with me, but thought I would still try to take a photo of the full moon…it is a little blurry, but I think it looks like a painting! :)

Wildflowers make me happy!

You cant go to Big sky country and not take a picture of the sky! :)

I got to reconnect and see a lot of great people: family, friends, and friends that are like family!! I love you all!!! I got to get some much needed fresh air and I got to clear my head. I also dreamed up some pretty creative things to try with my photography! ;) (A 12 hour drive there, and a 12 hour drive back gives you a lot of thinking time…one reason why I secretly want to be a truck driver!) When I get old, I want to have a porch swing over looking a golden field of wheat with the rockies in the background, and family all around!!! Thank God Im a country girl! Ahhhh…life is good! ;)

Road Trip!

jonceemay — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 20:16:21 +0000

I recently got to go on a road trip to Casper Wyoming! If you pay attention to my blog, you know why I went…but I am not posting any photos from the reason yet…you you will have to wait.

As some of you know, I was born, and for the most part raised in God’s Country, MONTANA! I would not have it any other way! I love Montana and all it has to offer, and it will always be my home! However, sometime between birth and 6th grade, I lived in Casper, Wyoming. I only lived there for 9 months of my life, but I am still friends with alot of the people I met there! I just want to say a quick Thank you to all the Wyoming people, not just in casper, that have played a part in my upbringing and helping to make me the great, wonderful, and humble person I am today! Im glad the event that took place this last weekend was in Casper, so I could reconnect with all of you, and see you all again.

For those of you who have never been to Wyoming…they have some great natural resources there…one of them being WIND! Im glad to see they are putting it to use! This beautiful photo was taken out the window in a moving vehicle, with me holding on to my camera for dear life. Let me tell you…The wind was blowing!!!!

We also decided to use the wind to our advantage. E-man has recently become interested in kites. Here in Boise he runs up and down our long gravel driveway, with a kite behind him and about 6 inches of string let out. He loves it! While we were in Wyoming he asked us several times if he could fly a kite. We went and got him one, and to his horror…it actually flew…and he did not even have to run! Now, I say horror, because he was so worried it was going to float away and he would never get it back…he kept yelling up at the sky “OH NO! Kite mine!” Haha! I love being a mom! :)

Stay tuned for more Wyoming trip photos soon!

Happy Mothers day!

jonceemay — Sun, 09 May 2010 15:38:40 +0000

This is the reason I Love being a mom:

Also I have a wonderful mom and a great mother in law, but I dont have any recent photos of them, because they live in different states! :( LOVE YOU BOTH!!!

To all you moms out there:

A Mother’s Love

There is no love, like a mother’s love,
no stronger bond on earth…
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.

A mother’s love is forever strong,
never changing for all time…
and when her children need her most,
a mother’s love will shine.

God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one…
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they’ve done.

When her days on earth are over,
a mother’s love lives on…
through many generations,
with God’s blessings on each one.

Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love…
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.

…Jill Lemming

Mermaid photo shoots – Why I dont want to be a studio photographer

jonceemay — Mon, 03 May 2010 02:00:08 +0000

Recently I got a photography catalog from American Photographic Resources. They offer a lot of really neat things, some of which I want to order. However, they also offer things that make me glad I am a lifestyle photographer and not a studio photographer. Such as this:

Though this shot is great, it is so posed and so unlikely! I mean, really, when will your daughter ever be a mermaid? Do you really want to spend hundreds of dollars getting your child’s photos taken, and have them dressed up? Would you hang a photo of your child like this on your wall? If yes, then I am not the photographer for you. I do however know of some great local photographers that do EXCELLENT work and will take photos similar to that one.

I would much rather have kids be kids! Let them run through the field

Let them pick flowers

Let them stand up and completely block the shot

Let them run away crying

Let them play

My promise to you: Wether or not your family is big or small, consists of four legged children, or two, is just starting out, or has been established for generations, I will capture you as you are in that moment of life! That is what memories are made of. Not of props and costumes (unless maybe it is halloween). Who you are is what will make your photos unique. Though I might pose you and help you look your best, I want you to be you! If you want to have props in your photos that is great, but lets make them mean something. Instead of having a mermaid tail, lets have your daughter wear the football jersey that her dad wore in college when her parents met, or lets have a family picnic in your favorite park. I can help you make the pictures about you. So it is up to you. Do you want a mermaid hanging on your wall and everyone to laugh at her senior slideshow, or do you want true, genuine photos that make people say “awww”, and maybe even cry? Its up to you.

I want to leave you with these song Lyrics by Lonestar:

Please, let them be little,
‘Cause they’re only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let ‘em cry, let ‘em giggle,
Let ‘em sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.
