Photo Shoots are back!!
So I had a great opportunity to shoot the cutest little man (MAX) who was only a week and 2 days old. He did so well, we got to put him in types of positions-what a trooper. I also got to take a few of his cousin who is 3 months (Dylan), one day they will be such good buds! Thanks Christy and Joe for letting me into your home to help you capture these moments. Congrats again.

Ok so I know I know I know....... Its been a crazy month and I am so sorry that I haven't posted in so long. But Im back and ready keep my Blog up to date!
So we are all moved in its been two weeks. I actually took last week off from work to unpack and get all organized. Much needed time off. We also finally got all of our cabinets and counter tops installed this past friday so my Kitchen is complete and is wonderful. I love the size of my island and can't wait to bake and cook.
Im very busy at work so gotta run for a meeting but thought I would leave you with a picture of Reid coloring on my desk in my new office (love this space, sorry Tom I just might live in this room!) House pics to come.
Isnt he getting big....

Im still here....
Hey Everyone.... So sorry for not keeping up, I have no excuses!
I do however have an update on the house....
We finished painting this past weekend. The living room took almost 6 hours with three of us painting but I just love it. We also completed Reid's room. We had started the weekend before but after the first coat his room was glowing, I mean really glowing-GREEN (NEON). So needless to say we could not use this green to paint all but one wall. So we decided to use the lightest color of the three greens to paint 3 of the 4 walls then we did 3 horizontal strips with three different greens on one wall. (hard to picture but I will show pics soon so you can see it your self). Reids room is my favorite, it turned out so great. I even ordered a sign for the wall that is in navy blue and orange (which is what I am using to accent with) that says " So many toys so little time!" LOVE IT, and so true.
We also went and had a big shopping spree at Menards on Sat. and then Tom went back and did more shopping on Sunday. We picked out the lighting, carpet, sinks, vanities etc. Our kitchen flooring will be laid tomorrow and friday. We hope to have the carpet installed and complete by EOD next week. Which means for the most part the rooms that don't involve plumbing or cabinets I can't start getting stuff out of storage and get it moved in. I can't believe where this close, it felt like it would never get here. They started putting trim and doors in last week and its so amazing. I love the doors we went with (three panel) and the trim custom made, wow, Tom did a really great job getting the details right. Stay tuned for pics, coming soon.
On the photography front its been slow, Ive started reading a lighting book which should help with some things, its hard to practice with not being home during the day to use natural light and then working on the house over the weekends. All I can say is I can't wait to get into the house and get settled so that I can really focus and start try new things.
Well I hope all are well and staying warm... Until next time.

I know I know....
SO SORRY for not keeping up on my Blog the past few weeks. What a crazy week in half with work that I haven't had time to even update you on the house. So I hope the next few weeks will allow me to update my blog more often.
So wondering how the house is coming. If I wasn't working this week I was looking, reviewing and freaking out about paint colors, however yesterday I finally decided on all the colors for the house and handed them off to get ordered. CRAZY! I can't believe where to this stage already. But yet I wish it was done, I need my life back in a HOME!
So got some pics of the house for ya, they don't include this weeks updates since where in the middle of mudding and taping the walls which is really cool to see in progress.
OUTSIDE: (Look at that garage much better don't you think!)

KITCHEN/Dinning area:
Main Kitchen Area:
Living Room (Looking at the Bathroom addition wall):
My OFFICE (does not justify the size of the room but its huge and I love it!):
More to come.....

WHY???
So I was asked a question this weekend of why or how did I end up wanting to taking on the photography world?? When did you start thinking about this etc? Well it was kinda a hard question for me to answer in just a few words, while children where running around and the spirit of Christmas was all over the place. I wasn't really able to explain, so I thought perhaps there where others out there that may also be asking the question so here is my reason WHY!
Have you ever enjoyed something that you used to love and had such dreams and aspirations for but something caused you stray away from it, like when you get lost driving some where new and your gut is telling you to go left but instead you go right..... Well thats what happened to me. Instead of believe in my self back in High school and College, I stopped my love for photography and moved on to the practical, safer dreams/goals, I went right. I never really thought much about photography after that other then wanting to capture my memories and scrapbook them, until Reid was born. I began to see pictures of children and families that where so amazing that I couldn't but help wonder how it was accomplished and began to ask my self why can't I do something like that? So with my interest and curiosity surfacing again I began to rethink my life long goals and career. Do I want to be apart of UHC for the rest of my life? Do I want to live behind a desk for 30 more years? Do I really want to a Full-time Working mom and never get the chance to be apart of my child's life during the week besides evenings?
With all these things going through my head and my interest overwhelming me I decided it was time to make a move, no time is a good time..... I jumped! I upgraded my camera in May (updated my point and shoot) and began to research and understand where and what I needed to do to get closer to my goal and dreams. Of course the more I researched the more I realized I was going to need a DSLR and update my computer. So Im taking one day at time, Ive got the DSLR and now Im working on learning how to use it and build a portfolio, next will be to update my computer so that I can work on my post processing skills which will give me even more opportunities to grow. Its a long road but one day I will get there and I wont be turning Right any time soon for that matter ever.....
Thanks for reading. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I can't believe Christmas is less then a week away. Gotta get my last min. stuff done today otherwise its not going to be good. We had Tom's Work party last night, Reid joined us and surprisingly he did well. Of course everyone was so all over him so he got lots of attention, such a HAM.
