I + J = Love : Engagements : Fort Worth, TX

If your wondering why they are rarely looking at my camera it is because they didn’t know I was there… Ha Ha I mean I wasn’t a silent creeper or anything but it was like they came, they saw me they knew I was taking pictures but other than that the only two people that were any where around were them. It’s lovely to see such a love… Just Lovely.

InstaGram : Obsession : Sticky-Gram

Okay so by now we all know that I have a new addiction to InstaGram. I am BARLEY ever on my personal Facebook, and if I am it’s to say hello to some one that has commented on my page and I dont want to be rude.. I mean it’s the social “hub” of all communication basically. (In which my personal life I hate it) Can’t I just have a business page and be friends with all my fans and clients c: Take their pictures see there happy times and be done with it c: Hahahaha Im the Happy Thief I tell ya!

So I started the Serendipity-Photography May Challenge on Instagram right, well looking through (better known as stalking) some people I ran across this image of magnets and she had all of her pictures on them and it was called Sticky Gram.. So I google, I find I look up and what.. Yup I order! These people are going to be rich because of me and my obsession I just know it. So Quality….

They come mailed to you in sheets. Perfect sheets and you tear the magnets apart.. and you stick them where ever you want! They are great! They do not fall apart, the image quality looks just like it does on Instagram and they are not the strongest of magnets like they can hold any more than a sheet of paper, but I think they are more for decor’ than to hold bills… You know? I mean I have one of Briysen holding up his 100 Spelling Test (good job baby!) and I love it!!

So I give Sticky-Gram 5 stars * * * * *

If you love pictures and want to display them on your fridge or anywhere that you can place a magnet I highly recommend them!

Hailey : Bridals

Bridals are the one things I have to sit on for what seems like MONTHS! I mean the bride doesn’t want anyone to see her in her dress … So you take the images and then you wait.. you look at them several times from point A which is taking them and point B which is being allowed to post or show them! Its like I am waiting for your wedding day to! Hahaha Hailey is a very simple girl, when I first met her she had barley any make up on if any at all and she was, well kind of a lot like me. What you see is what you get and she was a natural beauty! Meeting her in Grapevine when she got out of the car in her beautiful gown I was like um… WOW c: Hailey wanted the whimsical look, dream like & I think we pulled that off to a “t”

Size Does Matter : *snickering* : Prints

I know I have a lot of clients that call me or email me and as me what does a 11×14 look like or.. I want a HUGE Canvas I will get an 11×14… Well here is the sad truth. I still have an issue with talking about size and comprehending what it is and how big that it “really” is. I know our whole lives we grow up and think OH I want an 8×10 of that or What are you going to do with anything bigger than an 8×10?

Girl Sooooo much more than you can do with an 8×10! Fill that wall up and make that picture be noticed! I have ordered prints and should have them in the next day or so for a visual, but in the mean time I thought I would share my *cheat sheet* I look at from time to time to show you what (not exact) but a good judge of what size your looking for.

Bigger is Better these days you know. Order the Big ones you will not be sorry!

 

My Girl : Lillian Grace : Hey, Hay!

I think every one hits that creative hump where you think well we can do this.. no… I did that or I can do that.. no.. we did that. Then you wonder did I lose it? With the past now month ( I can not believe it has been a month!)  I have been on the edge of what now and do I want to even get out of bed, where did I put my smile mixed with I should pick up my camera.

Lillian stays home with me now, well all 3 of my kiddos do, the boys go to school, but Lillian is home with me full time. It has been a juggling act for sure! *hats off you to stay at home working moms* I am now in your club! The thing about it is I feel like I have gone full circle. Not to spill my life story (I am a blabber mouth) but I was a single mother for a very long time.. and with that being said my boys were my rock. They were what got me up and out and thrived me to keep on keepin’ on.. I survived because of them. At one point I needed them more or just as much as they needed me. I feel like I am back there, that I have come full circle and I feel the same way. When you forget about what life is about or why you do the things you do, your kids look at you and your like Oh… this is why…. and it just makes you push that much harder.

Lillian has helped me so much. She is my sunshine. Her laugh, her Giggle, the things she says like calling Allergies “Mom I have Aller-gins” or telling me that coloring exhausts her… hahaha Oh and my fave is that she can’t lay down and take a nap because she has babies she has to take care of and they are not sleepy yet…

She is a hand full.  But I love it. I love her. I love my life. I love that I know how to love. & I love that all of my fans and clients have loved me, send me emails , texts, cards, letters and their experiences to let me know I am not alone.. thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have helped me.. tons.

Lillian & I went to play around today to get some inspiration & have some fun. Enjoy!
