Saturday Auction

Getting caught up on my blogging! Yeah!

Went to an auction in Allenton on Saturday morning. Haven't been to one of those in ages.

There was so many things there that went for such a low price, I couldn't believe it! Too bad I don't have a lot more space to store things, or I would have bought a lot more than I did. I went looking for some different props to use in photo sessions, and did find a really neat piano stool and another chair.

Ladies Night Out

Thursday night was "Ladies Night Out" at the Washington County Fair Park. There were quite a few ladies there. I set up a booth to display some of my photographs, and got a lot of interest. It is so much fun meeting everyone and talking to all of them.

There was also a fashion show and entertainment by Comedy Sportz. They are always funny.

All in all it was a fun evening.

Sydney






Little Sydney came in for her 6-month pictures on Monday. She is as cute as ever! Her parents are so nice too. It is so much fun to see how these little ones change in just a few months. Soon she will be all over the place!

Lunch with Diane

Monday I had lunch with my good friend, Diane (yeah, another one). She had to interview me for a class she is currently taking. But we had a good time over lunch anyway. I always have a nice chat with her. It is so hard to get together with her too, we both have such busy schedules! Oh well, grab them when you can, right?

Johnson family



Had the pleasure of photographing the Johnson Family last Saturday! Mary Lou wanted her children and grandchildren together for a family photo. We went to Waubedonia Park. There are so many nice places to take pictures there! Her grandchildren are adorable, and everyone was so nice. We had a great time.

Movies with my sister

Went to the movies with my sister, Beth. It is really nice to connect with your sister every now and then. We don't get to see each other too often any more. What a shame that our schedules are so busy that we can't get together more often!

We saw Brad Pitt is "Burn after reading". It was funny, in a weird sort of way. Not quite sure if I liked it or not. But of course, Brad Pitt was in it, so it couldn't have been to bad :)

Tyler









Another referral! Yeah! Tyler's mom is a sister to a student I had from last year. Tyler was so funny, he did not want to smile for me, even though he has a really nice one! Guys are so funny that way. Anyway, his mom, Kathy, Tyler and I had a great time. We went to Regner Park and then back to the studio for more pictures.
Thanks for a fun time, Tyler.

Jon Lee






Had the pleasure of photographying Jon Lee. He is from Greenfield and his mom, Paula, found me via a referral from a friend/co-worker. I had done the co-worker's son's graduation pics and Paula really liked them. It is so nice to have these referrals!




Anyway, here are a couple of samples of Jon. Love his hair!

Cody Kerr








Had a really nice session with Cody from Kewaskum High School last Wednesday (yeah, I know, I'm tardy with my blogging AGAIN! aargh!).




We stayed at the studio grounds, but I think we got a LOT of really nice pictures.

He has such an impish smile.

His mom, Janet, and little sister came along too.

I think I like this business so much because I get to meet so many nice people.

My grandchildren















Again, catching up! My grandchildren are soooooo cute! (As are all grandchildren, ha,ha). Sophia just turned 4 at the beginning of August, and Frankie is just 2 1/2, even though he is almost as big as his older sister. So, I had to take Sophia's 4-year picture. She is such a little ham, but I think her brother out-does her sometime. And then trying to get the two of them to cooperate for a picture of both of them was extremely hard. They were being silly. But here are a few of my favorites.

Dylan's 9-month pictures








I can't believe I have left this blog go for soooooooo long! This summer has just sped by. But since I just logged on and saw Dylan's 6 month pictures, I had to step back a little to post a few of his his 9-month pictures. They were taken on August 23. He is such a little darling and it is such a pleasure to photograph him.

Steve Chesler Seminar

Just yesterday I had the pleasure of going to a seminar with Steve Chesler from New York. We went on a photo session with a few models and I got to see how he works and poses his models. It was so much fun, I can hardly wait to try out some of them with some of my weddings or seniors!
