Tales from the Camping Trip

Well, ok, there really aren't many tales other than it rained on us most every day, and I had a window air conditioning unit set up in my tent....yes....I am aware that that little tid bit adds to my prissy persona. but, hey....you do what you gotta do. :) Here are a few fun pictures of the kiddos that I took this past weekend. These kids are amazing!!! So much fun!

Ethan REALLY wanted this butterfly to sit on his nose! They played with this thing for hours.

Cerra Cathryn also found lots of amusement with that poor little butterfly. I love this picture!

And Brantley....this child is only alive today because he is so stinking cute!! :) No, just kidding. He kept us laughing the whole weekend. I love this picture of him cheesing. Although, I did have a hard time choosing between this one and the one with powdered sugar from breakfast donuts all over his face.

Enjoy your independence day!

I will be camping with the fam this weekend (as you may have read on my sister's blog). I probably won't have cell phone service, and to tell you the truth, even if I do, I probably won't answer my phone. :) So, if you try to reach me to book a date, leave me a message, and I will get back with you as soon as I can on Sunday night or Monday.

I hope you have a great 4th of July Holiday!!!

Carter and Summer

I don't think these photos posted in the order I wanted them too. HTML is not my friend. Anyway, this is Carter and Summer! I know them in a very round about way! I am great friends with their dad's sister, Cari. I was in Cari's wedding along with their mom, so that is how I met her! They are from Atlanta, GA, and they were in Arkansas visiting Aunt Cari, GiGi, and Poppa last week. I had tons of fun on this shoot!! Carter kept me on my toes, and Summer gave me all the smiles I wanted! Such cute, sweet kiddos!! Enjoy this little snippet. I was trying to find some to post in black and white, so they wouldn't all be the same. But, their orange clothes and the green, green grass....I had to do them all in color!
(Click to enlarge. Once again I say, HTML is not my friend. I tried to size these pretty large without making them to big to fit on a screen, but who knows!!)








Heather, thanks so much for letting me take pics of your precious kiddos! They are so adorable and too much fun! Glad to know I have a fan base in Georgia! ha ha ha! :) David, sorry you missed out! Maybe next time!!!

Congratulations & Thank You!!

Congrats to my 5000th blog visitor, Paige Brumley! Paige is a dear friend of mine from college, and a dedicated blog reader! She will be getting one of my nature prints framed and all.

Thanks to all of you out there who check my blog regularly! This photography thing has taken off so much more quickly than I had ever imagined! And the best thing about it is that most of my advertising has come from word of mouth. I am so grateful to my old friends who have known me since my early 35mm days. And I am thankful to my new friends whom I have gotten the chance to meet and get to know in the past few months. You all are the very best!

God is good, and so faithful to bless His children!!! He has blessed me with a fun talent, an amazing passion for it, and wonderful family, friends, and supporters - so many things to be thankful for!

Sam's 3 Months

Here are some from Sam's 3 month shoot this past Saturday. Still trying out some new textures and finishes, so let me know what you think. I LOVE the 3 square ones. Those are probably my favorites. However, I do like the pouty one!

Baby Jay is 6 months old!!!

Can you believe this one is already 6 months old?! I have so enjoyed watching him grow! And Trey & Christina, I have had fun with the two of you as well. You are always up for anything, and you definitley keep me entertained while I shoot!! ha ha! I got some new textures and such, and I tried a couple out for these. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!!

I'm still here!

Have no fear! For those of you who check my blog regularly, I just wanted to post a quick note to say that although things have slowed down a bit, I'm still here. I must say, it has been nice to have a little breather! Breaks are always much needed, but I have some great shoots and posts coming up!

Sam Johnston - 3 month pictures on July 21
John & Colbie's wedding - I am 2nd shooting for my sister on August 2.
Heath & Brittney's wedding - August 9
Bryce & Autumn's wedding - October 25

I just took some of Baby Jay at 6 months and will try to have them posted soon. AND, I am getting ready to head to Florida for a few days with 11 of my friends, so of course, while we are down there, much to their chagrin, I will be making them pose for some super fun beach pictures!! So, I can't wait for those!!

I'm also booking now for fall shoots. Fall colors are always a great picture backdrop, so book yours now before I run out of time!

In the mean time, I noticed that I am just over 100 hits away from having 5,000 blog visits!!! YAY!!!

If you are the 5,000th visitor (be honest!) leave me a comment to let me know, then send me an e-mail at lfwatson@gmail.com and give me your mailing information!!!
