Wow…it’s been almost a year since I’ve updated or added anything to this blog. It’s been an interesting year. I’ll try to keep up with it this time. New stuff going on…

We’ve officially filed the 501 paperwork for OpLove, so hopefully we’ll get that approved soon. Also, I had a news interview earlier this year with Ernie Paulson and News Channel 4. I posted it on Youtube. I posted a link to it on my blogroll (menu on the left) for viewing. After the story ran, I was flooded with military families. It was awesome meeting everyone and being able to provide them photos for their deployment.

I’ve landed a huge contract with Downtown OKC. Their “Downtown in December” events include the world’s largest man-made snow tube. It is built in the Bricktown BallPark. They have hired me to photograph the tubers and sell prints/products both on-location and online. It starts Friday, Nov 28th and will run until Sunday, Jan 4th. Over the last several years, they average approximately 500,000 visitors. I’m pretty psyched (and a bit overwhelmed).

I’ve recently updated and revised my website. I’m not 100% happy with it, but I’ll keep on it until I’m satisfied. If you run into any kinks, let me know!

Well I need to get back to work. I’ll post some tubing pics and updates soon.

Sorry…I completely forgot about this blog! I figured after the rush of summer weddings, reunions, and portraits that business would even out a little, but I’m still as busy as ever. I’ve had numerous OpLove sessions lately, and still have more to come. I am soooooo glad that word is finally getting out and spreading in Oklahoma. Tomorrow, I’m travelling to Ft. Sill for two homecoming sessions. I absolutely love the homecoming sessions and all the emotions that are present. I’ll try to get my website pics for OpLove updated soon. I’ve had several sessions since I last updated it, so I’d like to add some more pics. Anyway, I gotta get ready. I have a full day ahead of me. I’ll try to post again soon. :[)

Well, I’m going out of town for about a week. My husband and I have a friend who manages a ranch in Kansas, and they are having a big cattle round-up thing. My husband will be helping with that part, and I will be snapping photos like crazy!!! I’ll post a few of them when I get back. I hope everyone has a great week and weekend. See ya!

I just received a thank you card in the mail. I usually get an email or phone call from my clients, but this one just really stuck to me. Apparently, I just really needed to hear that today. Anyway, I thought I’d share it with you. It reads:

“Thank you so much for doing such a great job with the wedding photos. We never even noticed you taking the photos during the ceremony, The disk was fantastic and we have heard from our guests that they all loved the photos too. Thanks again for such a professional job and for making our day so special. - Andrea & Sonny”

To Andrea & Sonny - Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. It was a beautiful wedding, and I enjoyed meeting your friends and family. And thanks for the card…I really needed it. Best Wishes and May God Bless Your Marriage!

Apparently, my family is attracting all kinds of critters lately. Today, my son was cleaning out my car and this bird just plopped down on the windshield wipers. I grabbed my camera and started snapping photos. When he flew away I started back inside, and this bird just looped around and landed on the top of my opened door. After he finished his “photo session”, he flew to the shed and has been perched on the roof ever since. Either he’s lonely or he’s decided to stalk my family. Oh well…it makes for a few good photos!

I was sitting in the living room last night and noticed something moving towards the window. When I looked over and saw my visitor, I couldn’t help but snap a pic or two from this unusual vantage point.

I thought you might like to see some photos from the fireworks show at LibertyFest in Edmond, OK on the 4th of July.
