i love this guy…

…my husband. His unconditional love, compassion for me, forgiveness of my mistakes and failures, ability to put me first, his incredible work ethic and total commitment to me and our family….all of these qualities make me feel like the most blessed woman ever. He has such an attitude of Christ and sets the example for our children, and myself. He has told me countless times that he has a love for me that Christ has put in him and while I am so undeserving, I realize at this moment (more than ever) how very lucky I am to have such an amazing husband. I don’t use the blog for “writing” but today I chose to because he is so very special to me.

I love you, Scott! Happy Valentine’s Day!

And the winner is….

I will be making the trek across the Pacific with my best friend next month. I have already scheduled one session while I am in O’ahu but if by chance you know someone in Hawaii (the island of O’ahu specifically because I won’t be island hopping on this trip) that might be interested in a session, pass my info along. I will be in Wahiawa July 16-24.

Vacation Bible School – Hillcrest Baptist Church

Wow – what an amazing week! God really showed off and being a part of something so incredible is priceless. We had 700 kids and teachers in attendance and 36 children gave their hearts to Jesus.

It all started with these signs that popped up all around Enterprise one month before VBS began. My kids were so pumped when they awoke to find we had been “boomeranged”. Then we had to put the sign in someone else’s yard the next day (in the middle of the night, actually, so it would be a surprise when the next boomerang-ee woke up).

I made a slideshow of photos I took over the last week:

The kids and I are looking forward to starting our first official week of summer break starting Monday. We were out of town the first week of summer vacation, then VBS last week, and now some time off! I have a few sessions I need to blog, and other sessions coming up in the next two months before we return to school but let’s not talk about that yet.

Fine art gallery wrapped canvases

Natasha — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 22:20:37 +0000

I have neglected sharing these canvases I got in a few months ago. I often forget to snap a few pictures of client’s canvas before I deliver them but I am going to try to do a better job at remembering to do so. Here are a few of my kids that I got in recently. They are gorgeous – lovely texture, color just pops off the canvas, and ready to hang.

This one I ordered stretched on a 2.5inch extra wide canvas. It’s 30×40 inches and hangs over my fireplace:

This one is 24×20 and I placed it over my bed. I am working on a silhouette of Katie and Braden to place on each side to balance it out.

This canvas was one I created for a client recently. I did snap a few pictures of it. This canvas has a smaller wrap on it because Mom had it custom framed and needed the extra room for the frame.

My friend, Joanne, does embroidery and appliques. Check out her stuff here:

She does a beautiful job on those cute little embroidered and appliqued outfits, burp cloths, bibs, and blankets that you see just about everywhere. Give her a call if you need something extra special and she can hook you up!

Spring pictures with bunnies and chicks

Natasha — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 02:37:36 +0000

I am working on finishing up the details for the Spring Mini Sessions with Bunnies and Chicks. Last year I booked up all the sessions within a few days and had a waiting list that I wasn’t ever able to get to. This year I want to do them outdoors, one day in Enterprise and one day in Dothan. Once I get everything finalized, I will post an update here on the blog and email my contacts with the information.

Here’s a sample from last year:

I recently ordered some black and white digital mats and they look incredible with black and white portraits. Here’s one of my al time favorite shots of my kids:

And another style. These look really nice in wall collections as well.
