Last minute Seniors

Ahhh, the senior season hasn't ended just quite yet. We have had a few late comers, hey we'll take 'em! I love photographing seniors!! Here is a sneak preview for A! I went down and took some pictures of her and her horse too...which was waay fun!

Just a reminder of our Open House on Nov 24 from 10am - 5p.m. Hope to see you all there!

Enjoy...until next time!!

Christmas is coming!!

Yes it's that time of year again! Where we are all running around crazy looking for that special gift that your little one just has to have! Yes I have been there...shopping on Christmas Eve because someone wanted a doll house that was nowhere to be found! (Yes she did receive it!LOL)

Anyway, I thought this would be a perfect time to show off some of our new friends as well as a couple of new card templates we have! They range from retro to fancy schmancy; whatever your taste may be. Book now for your Christmas session, they are going fast! Deadline for ordering is December 15, there will be a rush fee after that.

In other news, we have moved our Open House to November 22. So if you're out shopping and need a break from the crowd, head on down to our studio and check us out! If you schedule a session that day you will receive a free session, plus an 8x10 print! PLUS...we are having a drawing for 25% off our custom made purses, which is an awesome new product line we are carrying! Hope to see you there!!

B & C Preview

These girls were an absolute delight to work with! Oh to be young and energetic again! LOL (but only if I could know what I know now!;)- Anyway, we had such an awesome time!

The 4th one down, couldn't resist not putting that "poopy" face picture up here! Yes she actually stuck her hand in poop! ROFLOL It was gross but soo funny!!

You were a good sport, B!!

Until next time!

We will be having an open house, date is not set yet, but keep your eyes open...we'll let ya know about it!!

2007 Flood

Here are some more pictures of the flooding. The first 3 are all downtown, which was not even accessible Thurs morning.



Here is our cemetary, it was higher on Weds, you could barely see the tips of the tombstones.
THe courthouse and Municipal building were all under water.
And no, people still have not learned not to drive through it!! The white car is a Jeep Cherokee and barely made it thru! People do not use their heads when it comes to an emergency. Downtown there were so many vehicles that got stuck, b/c they thought that they could make it, but they didn't. Therefore, the emergency people had to waste time getting them out, instead of helping people that were still stuck in their homes.

Friday, most of the water is gone and clean up begins. It really doesn't hit you until you drive through the neighborhoods and see people throwing their belongings on the side of the road. Downtown businesses are just a disaster. Our city employees are going to be picking up their damaged items. But just to see it puts a lump in your throat. Couches, tables, mattresses, dressers, pool tables, kids' toys , carpeting, drywall... On the cars that people left, you can see the water was up to their mirrors ( on trucks) Just total devastation. Most people lost everything. My SIL lost all her furniture and had to rip out all of her flooring in the entire downstairs.

If you had insurance, sure hope you had a good coverage. Most people that got flooded didn't have insurance (they weren't in flood zones). The newspaper tells you to go down the Rec center and apply for assistance. Well here's the catch, you are only allowed to make $3000 or less a month for a 4 people household. Some of the people that do have insurance are only covered for $1500...that's not even enough to pay for carpet!!

My thoughts and prayers go out the all the victims...We will survive!!
