Roman’s Birthday Party

03.23.10

Roman had a blast at his birthday party. Usually I am the photographer at a little one’s birthday party but this on particular day I was playing Momma, hostess, and super-secret keeper of baby #2 so I was a little distracted. I tried to capture as many moments as I could. Unfortunately, I missed a few photos here and there. I had to borrow some images from our party guests to help complete his Birthday Slideshow. ….Moral of the story, hire a photographer (I’m available!) so you’ll get to enjoy the day and not miss a moment! I did it last year and will be sure to do it again from now on! 🙂

My friend Cassie made Roman’s Birthday cake and cupcakes. They were super yummy and really cute!

I was so excited that Roman was able to have a ‘craft time’ at his party this year. It was a simple picture that I pasted onto their ‘goody bags’ that the kids painted with watercolors. It seemed to be a hit!

Present time!

Our friends and family are super generous! I can’t believe how much that kid cleaned up. We’re gonna have to do a ‘no gifts’ policy in the future. 🙂

Love, Love, Love…

Celebrating my son’s birthday makes me so thankful for family, friends and such a blessed life. 🙂

Roman is totally enamored with Elmo and loves watching ‘Elmo’s World’

Can I be honest? Totally honest with you all? I sometimes hate blogging. Not because I hate putting up photos, or sharing my life, or even writing. I guess I just feel like sometimes my blog has become something I HAVE to do instead of want to do.
I can’t remember the last time I just sat down and totally just wrote what I was feeling without making sure I had all my tasks or blog ‘to-do’s’ checked off my list.

I’m breaking all the rules in this particular blog:
1.)My photo today has nothing in particular to do with this post. 2.)I am copying this exact blog and shamelessly posting it to my other blog so that I don’t have to write 2 originals. 3.)And I can’t think of a third rule to break so I am writing a useless sentence for the sake of completing the tone of this subject and finishing off this paragraph. …pretty cantankerous, huh? 🙂

Ok, so don’t hate me. Don’t think “Oh, I am not hiring her as my photographer or having her style my hair because she has a poor attitude.” I’m really just blowing off steam. In fact, I’m pretty super pumped about a few upcoming things in my life. I can’t believe how booked I am for the Spring! Weddings and Engagement sessions, Senior photographs, Newborn Sessions and Family sessions all from March to June! And business at the salon is steady as usual. I am so very thankful to have two passions that allow me to spend time with and support my family! Speaking of family, my little guy turns 2 this month and we’re having his birthday party this weekend. It’s not a lie when I say I can’t wait run back to my blog and share the events of his birthday with you (It’s going to be a blast)! Plus, I’ve got other big news coming up! You’ll have to check back next week to find out more.

Thanks for listening to my rant. I promise my disposition will be a little sunnier next post. 🙂

The Salon has been going through a lot of great transformations and our continuing Aveda education is one of them!

First, we get a sit-down class on the awesome haircolor that we are using…

The class included many Aveda stylists in the STL area. We were warmly welcomed by a nearby salon that hosted the event.

Just a side note, this sunglasses model at the salon freaked me out and frankly was a little distracting during the class! Hee Hee!

Then it was time for hands-on work!

If we didn’t have a model, we worked on each other. It looks crazy but at least they’re still learning, right?

I shared my model, Lindsey, with a stylist from another Aveda salon.
We worked really well together!

Lindsey fully foiled and ready for some new color!

Here she is BEFORE…

…and AFTER.

So, that’s what’s been going on recently. I know it’s been awhile since I’ve updated, I’ve been pretty busy with photography stuff too.

I’ve been having alot of fun with this group. We all really love what we do and have fun doing it together! 🙂

Bellies and Babies: Baby Cameron’s Birthstory

03.09.10

Remember Sarah and Chris? They nearly froze off their behinds doing a maternity session with me last winter…

… and THEN little baby Cameron decided to make his appearance 5 weeks early!

You can check out the entire Birthstory by clicking this link.

By the time I got to their house for the newborn session, Sarah and Chris were experts at parenting. They were really calm and collected, even when Cameron had a few ‘accidents’ during his nakey-baby poses. 🙂

Thank you Sarah and Chris! I really enjoyed my time with you. 🙂
