Kindergarten....

Now Colin started kindergarten!!! I went to his house to capture his moments in getting ready for his first day in a new capture in his life..... I love doing these kind of photo shoots. It's so personal and I hope to help mom treasure the moments. I will be putting them in a coffee table book for him. If anyone is interested in capturing the special moments that our children and family go through call and we can schedule a session. WAHOO Colin you go little man!! Here are some to share!!!

Yes I made him get back in bed for this shot!!

Getting dressed for the day!!

Showing a little resistant in taking photos of his big day...I think he liked it!!

This was his favorite toy to play that day... Rescue Heroes!!

Having Lunch...the menu for the day was grilled cheese and oranges.


Brushing his teeth....I had to grab a shot of me in the tub trying to get the shot!!

a great day!

I know I've slacked on posting. I knew I should have waited to schedule posts when I was more together with the kids starting school! I'll share some of Steven starting 1st grade!!!! He is adjusting well...not used to going all day as he says but I think he will make it.

My big 1st grader!!!

No I did not follow him with my mama-razzi instincts! I grabbed this at his meet and greet his teacher before school started. He was getting his things into his desk.

Hello everyone!!!

I wanted to stop in and say hello to my customers, family, friends, followers, and lurkers.... On Monday, my friend Lou from http://louceel.blogspot.com/ came to one of my Monday night meetings. He's a great artist, computer whiz, writer and photographer and of course blogger. I thought he could give us some insight and help on how to run your blog smoothly. It was great!!! He had a lot of information that was very helpful and useful. He gave me a shout out on his blog and I want to say thank you and welcome to his friends that stop by and take a look at some of my work. I have a new way at looking at my blog now and I come to realize I want to be a little more personal. I want you to get to know me and see why I love what I do. So I'm trying to come up with some posting ideas. Don't worry I will be posting your sneak peaks for my wonderful clients. It will be hard to fit it all in...maybe it will help me get more scheduled :) But until I get used to my new blogging schedule bare with me. So far I have is - My kids Monday. I will be updating with pictures of course on how my family is doing and show how fast they are growing. The next day is Off topic Wednesday. This I will just post whatever comes to me. And for those that know me personally it could be very random because my mind is always racing with ideas...useless and helpful at times. :) I will be trying this starting next week.

hugs to you!
Dawn

A&B Engagement

How cute is this fun couple!!! A&B got engaged!!! I had the pleasure of working with my "partner in crime" Erin on Monday...for those that know me I meet with a couple photographer friends every Monday night and talk shop. It's awesome! I've learned so much. This couple was one of our models for the night. I had a lot of fun with all the ideas flowing in my head.....that's why I had to share so many (thanks "B" for putting up with me)!! I love them all!! Who knows...maybe they'll like them so much they'll book Erin and I for the wedding! LOL!!
