Messy face and my new favorite song

My mom asked me yestreday if her computer was broken. She said everytime she looks at my blog, it's the same post from December 15th...and she was wondering if maybe something was wrong with her computer like it wasn't updating or something. I took that as a hint to start blogging again!

I have had so much fun reading about everyone's Christmas! I've also loved all of the beautiful cards I recieved this year! I wish i could post pictures of our Christmas (didn't take any) and show you my card (didn't send any), so for now I am just going to show you a cute little messy eater who loves Nutri-Grain bars, and have you watch the video for my new favorite song.

I promise to be a better blogger in the future...now that the Christmas craziness is over, I feel like I might be able to settle down and think straight for a minute! I might even send out a few New Year's cards to make up for the shameful lack of Christmas cards that never were. (hint hint, maggie ;)lol!

I feel like we might need to discuss the fact that Timbaland is taking over the world with his crazy musical skills...I'm all for it! Every now and then I get obsessed with a song and play it over and over and over and pretty much drive my family crazy...until they embrace it and soon are singing the words with me. Click on the link below to hear what I've been obsessing to lately!

I love going to new locations to shoot, so when this family suggested somewhere that I hadn't been but heard a lot about, I was really exited to try it. And it turned out to be the perfect location for this fun, young, gorgeous group. I had so much fun on this shoot, and I can't wait to go back to this location...I'm already planning out outfits for my girls for when I take them!

Did I mention that I love skaters? When these boys brought out the skateboards, I knew I was in for some fun photos!

Friends

I love to take pictures of my friends! The photos come so alive for me becasue I can see their personalities and hear their laughs...it helps me to see how clients feel when they are looking through their own photos, it's such an emotional connection!

I had the fun opportunity to take family pictures for my good friend Maggie. She is a great photographer, and we decided to trade family sessions this year, and I had so much fun! It was great to go off of each others ideas and work together. I can't wait to have Maggie take our pictures! That is, if it will ever stop raining :)!

Here is Maggie's slideshow, she was nice enough to let me share it with you. This is one of my favorites to watch! Her family is so beautiful, and SO much fun!

Here are a few photos of my own girls! We went to Pima for Thanksgiving, and found this pretty old house that had this great red brick, so of course we pulled over for some photos!
