Miss K has a new sister and I was so excited to meet her. She seemed older than she was because she was born at an almost 10lbs!

Hope you enjoy the peek:)

These 2 are obviously very much in love and adore one another. They made me smile and helped remind me to appreciate that I have a wonderful husband to go through life with. Thank you.

I hope you adore the sneak peek:)

I’m so excited that I hit a “T” day to do the “Ten on Whatever Day”. Never mind that it’s been over a week….we won’t dwell on that:)

– I don’t know about you but when I place my groceries on the conveyor belt at the grocery store I try to load them so fast that the checker never has to wait on me for items. Just a little thing I like to do. Normally, the checkers seem like they are in about as much of a hurry as molasses. Just taking their sweet little time to make their day go by and to make you late for picking up kids from school;) Well last week I had a checker that I think was playing the “I’m going to ring up her items so fast that she can’t keep up with getting them on the belt”. Ha! It was like we were in this unspoken race to out-do the other. It was actually quite fun and I’m going to look for his line next time I’m in there.

– Totally random…but if I find a french fry at the bottom of my bag when I think that they’re all gone…MAKES MY DAY! It’s the little things people. (And especially if it’s from Chick-Fil-A.

– I have a problem with Chick-Fil-A. And eat it waaaaaayy to many times a week. Had it 3 times between Friday and yesterday (and they’re closed on Sunday). Bad, I know. But at least a lot of the time I get their side salad. With a side of fries:)

– I get teased mercilessly about how I should own stock, own a store, I’m a VIP, am putting the owner’s kids through college, that they must check with me before they add menu items, etc…..at Chick-Fil-A

– My husband turned me on to Napster. I have a playlist of some favorite songs but I guess since it’s one account we can’t listen to our different playlists at the same time at different computers. I usually wait until the evening to listen but the other day I just couldn’t wait so I logged on. Apparently, we really can’t listen at the same time because he emailed me immediately from work to see if I had logged on. He had been kicked off:)

– We joke around that we each have the better playlist. I’ve caught him listening to mine:) And for the record, I’ve never listened to his. I win!

– My air conditioning went out in my van 2 days ago. I’m so thankful that we had a cool front when this happened.

– The Christmas card samples are almost done.

– Several sets of twins are due this Fall and I’m excited!

– Saw these on Lyndsey Stradtner’s blog and already ordered 2. Drew loves to have dipping sauces and it’s perfect for that. Packed him Ranch dressing for his carrots today and it’s environmentally friendly…no bags to worry about. They come with stickers so they can personalize them and he had to use every single sticker that it came with.

This doll wasn’t too into smiling until her daddy started letting her “pretend fall” off of the fence. I decided she was a thrill seeker and we got the best smiles when she was falling or being thrown in the air.

Weekends are officially booked for this year. There is one Friday session in November open and a few weekday sessions open. I’ve saved a few “rainout” days because last year we had to re-schedule so many sessions due to rain but didn’t have any open dates to move them to. In order to try and accommodate more families I’ve decided to do some Fall mini sessions. The first day will be Saturday, October 9th. These will be urban-style sessions done in downtown Houston. The second date is set for Saturday, November 6th at Varner-Hogg Plantation in West Columbia.

I’ve gotten my holiday cards for 2010 and am working on samples to put on the blog. Those will be up soon. I also need to announce that I’m not offering the electronic files separately this year. It just wasn’t fair to me to do sessions and spend all of the time editing, etc….and to have someone purchase just one file for their holiday card. Studio Bloom does offer holiday cards (those will be posted soon) or you have the option of purchasing the cd.

and his good-looking family. I’m not sure why the little ones like to try new tricks when they get in front of the camera but Little M was doing tongue tricks just like some other recent photo takers:) Take a look at the pics with his dad and you’ll see his tongue trick. I not only love his little toothy smile but he has this little smirk that I think is so adorable. Hope you enjoy your peek:)

with the super cool hair and gorgeous light eyes. He didn’t want too much to do with the camera or all the people around him because he just loves rocks. And collecting rocks. And throwing rocks. But I think we got some anyway:) Hope you enjoy!

This time last year Ms. T was running from me and telling us no more pictures. Well, this year she slowed way down and totally cooperated! And she loved digging into the little cake her mom brought. Hope you enjoy your peek:)

and his dog, Andy. I totally think that the 2nd picture should be on a Christmas card! He was a little shy at first but warmed up pretty quickly and gave lots of smiles.

I’m definitely a lots of color gal and this park was perfect for that! Big sis didn’t want her mom to fix her hair and mom is very much a let’s just do pictures how you really are and I really like the result. I loved the sweaty, wild hair…I think Miss M looked gorgeous! Her little sister, Miss G, has one objective and that is to keep up with her big sister. Forget that she’s lots younger and smaller…she does not care.

When this is the very first picture you know it’s going to be a great session.

Sitting backwards just like her big sister did…

Her “cheese” smile

I know I should have more posts about this little girl! I think she has the most fabulously adorable chin and she also has the best rolls a baby could ask for. Thank you Miss B for rockin’ it out urban style for your 3rd photo shoot!
