Growing up, I did not watch much TV. What we did watch was old movies! (seven Brides for Seven Brothers is my fave!!!!) My Mom is a HUGE Jerry Lewis fan!!! I was practically raised on his comedy (maybe that is why Im so clumsy with style!) So, when the opportunity presented its self, I decided to Help Jerry’s kids! I have become one of Boise’s most wanted! I am getting arrested and need to raise $1600.00 for my bail! I am getting arrested August 5th, but need the bail money before hand. Any money you give me for my bail is a tax deductible donation to MDA. you can chose to donate $30 for a flu shot, $80 for one minute of research, $100 to pay for a support group session, or $800 to send one child to MDA summer camp! If one of these amounts are not right for you, you can give $5.00 or even $1.00! ANY AMOUNT HELPS!!! Most of the people being locked up with me have been raising money as early as May…I have just found out about this and have 3 weeks to raise the money I need! Please help Jerry’s Kids, and help me meet my goal!

To donate you can contact me personally, or you can visit my fundraising website. Thank you for helping me make a difference!!!!!

I know I have told you all this before, but just incase you didnt know… I love my buisness cards!

to view all my business cards click the arrows, you can also turn the cards over to view the back by hitting the upside down exclamation point! Have fun and enjoy!

I have had a lot of people ask me recently where I get them. MOO.COM

I love them because they feel so soft and professional, unlike allot of other business cards I have received.  They also allow me to upload several fronts to a pack of cards!  I love having the options!  If you are in the market for business cards, check out MOO!

I have personally never used online dating services, but I know people who have.  Some of my close friends are happily married and a few even have children, and they used online dating services.  I even have a few clients that met through online dating services and now I am taking their wedding photos.  Thing what you may, it seems to work!

Although I have never used an online dating service, I am pretty active on facebook and other social media sites.  One think that really makes me crazy is when someone uses a blurry or outdated photo to represent themselves.  I can see how this would be a big problem if you were trying to date online.  That is why when I saw the accuphoto program I signed up to be one of the photographers.  This is a company working with sites like eharmony and match.com to assure the photo you are looking at is an accurate representation of the person you may want to meet!  You get a photo shoot and a choice of 2 low res photos, from 10 photos that are perfectly sized for the sight you want to put them on.  The photos will be “certified” gaurenteeing that they are really a accurate representation of you.  And they will look great!  As a professional photographer I know what angles to shoot from and poses to have you in to make you look your best!  Like this photo my wonderful husband took of me!  :)

So here is to finding love!  Now go check out ACCUPHOTO!

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.
