Just trying to keep it fresh this week!

Meet Jamison - who was, quite possibly, the easiest person to photograph, ever! You’ll notice a lot of smiles in his pictures - just great, natural smiles. It was close to impossible to keep him from looking serious. I think I did capture one or two serious ones - but not with ease. Jamison is just about as photogenic as they come. He’ll be a senior this Fall and ready to bust out of the little, friendly town of Madras in no time. Thanks for a great time, Jamison. You made our job easy!

Meet Courtney, our female senior ambassador for the Class of 2009! Courtney is fantastic - she’s funny, photogenic, and has big, wonderful dreams for her future. When we last talked, she was hoping to go to school to learn how to be a helicopter pilot. That’s not one you hear everyday. What I love so much about working with high school seniors is their energy, their wonderful dreams for their future, their fresh faces, and the excitement they have for life, and that they have the world before them to do with whatever they choose…ahhh.. those were the days!

Courtney had to get her braces put back on just weeks before her session with us - true with every senior I’ve ever shot with braces - she hates the one where her braces are showing. Those ones are actually my favorites! You’re beautiful, Courtney! Thank you for being our ambassador and for a very fun afternoon!

and, of course….

Wow. Sorry doesn’t begin to cover it. I don’t even know what to say. A slow blog is always a good sign - it just means we’ve been so busy, we haven’t had time to share. Sad, but true. A quick update on all that’s been going on in the last… *gasp* six weeks.

On the personal side, Zoey finished first grade! The end of a school year brings lots of fun for kids and lots of time at the school for moms - so, there has been a lot of fun parental involvement with her at school. Field Day, assemblies, all those end of the year activities that elementary schools bring. And Livy - well, she graduated from preschool and is moving on to the big, bad world of public school in the Fall. I think public schools are great - I didn’t mean the ‘bad’ part literally. I’ll just miss that little cutie when she’s gone. As for Drew - well, he’s down to one nap and lost his babysitter this Spring. So - you can imagine what that’s done for my Fusion time. Yikes.

On the business side - it’s been busy, and busy is good! We’ve had a lot of engagement sessions, high school seniors are starting to trickle in, and wedding season is upon us. The sun is out, and that means families want pictures, and we love to take them! Annnnndddd… we’re working on some other great things with the business. It’s top secret for now, but we’ll share…soon.

I’ve got LOTS to share, and I’m planning on doing just that in the days to come. So, without further ado - allow me to close this post and get started on with images which, I know, is what you’re after.

And, as a side note - Facebook is entirely too fantastic and distracting for me! If you’d like to play - come and be my friend. HAHAHA! That so sounds like a note you’d write in second grade. Anyway - it’s great fun - and not nearly as creepy as myspace (sorry myspace fans) Class of 2009 - you can watch for specials on my facebook site - so sign up!

Now - on with pictures. More in a few…
