Finally...Site's Back Up!

And...back up your site :).

It's been a huge pain to have the site/email down, but we are finally back on track! The only thing I am missing is the "About the Artist" page :P. That was FROM THE HEART, so it's a major loss to me.

Anyway, back to our normally scheduled program...

Ack...Site's Down!

I don't know what's going on here, but my site is DOWN. I contacted the people who did my site and they said that unless my host kept a copy of all that I had written down, it is all GONE GONE GONE and I will have to write from scratch. EEks...please pray for the other...

Anyway, I'll get everything up as soon as I get a chance.

ACK - Email's down...

Anyone who's trying to contact me, I just need to let you know that I am not ignoring you...okay, not MOST of you ;). Just teasing! Anyway, I can't access any of my emails right now and my patient and out-of-school-so-now-I-have-time-to-help-you-with-the-business-hubby has been working on it for literally hours and he is tired. Anywho...we're off to bed.

Oh yeah - check back on the blog by Monday. I'll have some FAB photos to show you - you'll be surprised. Stay tuned...

Two Posts in ONE DAY???

What's wrong with me??? Well, I've caught the love-bug :).

Sometimes, I'm so busy photographing other people that I forget to take shots of my own family. So, I took some time to photograph my boy, Julius. This is one of my favorites and let me tell you why. Normally, I don't like to have my subjects in the center of my viewfinder. However, it works here because of the door. I love door handle at the side. It totally adds charactr to the photo. In 20 years, I am going to be able to tell you EXACTLY where the photo was taken, because of that door handle and the stuff in the background. I also love that none of his limbs are "chopped" in the camera. I love the feel of the black and white. It gives this "in-home" photo a classic touch.

And...of course...I love the subject. That is what REALLY makes or breaks a photo...

Extreme Makeover Home Edition

Did anyone volunteer for the "EMHE" in Middleton? Well, Lumuli and I did last Sunday and it was very interesting! There were quite a few people standing around, not sure what to do (like us :) ), but there were others who were busy working on the home. I've always loved "EMHE", so I was SUPER excited to volunteer. We got a really cool T-shirt from it...I'll photograph and post that later.

The big reveal was on Wednesday and Lumuli, Julius and I waited outside in terrible heat for two hours only to be told that they were no longer taking any more passengers for the reveal. :(. It was quite the bummer.

I took a few snaps. Nothing to AWE about, but still fun to see and remember, none the less. The long lines of people....yep, you guessed it. Those were the lines we had to wait in....it was CRAZY!





Just go ahead and TRY to tell me that I don't have the most beautiful family in the world :).

Have you seen this?

You should try it :). It's so much fun - and addicting - so only go to the site linked above if you are able to spare an hour...

ENJOY!

Did you see Channel 7 news tonight?

I volunteer with a FABULOUS charity called, "Heart Gallery of Idaho". They also air "Wednesday's Child". This charity finds adoptive family for children who really need them!!! They work hard to make sure the family/child are a perfect fit.

I have a special place in my heart for adoption, so I was honored when I was asked to photograph for them last week. During our session, Channel 7 news came and did their thing and turns out I was on tonight :) (call me vain, but I love being on TV...okay, so it was just my back...and my camera, but still). Unfortunately, I don't have a photograph of promising, respectful, handsome young Matt on my BLOG, but please visit "Wednesday's Child" by clicking on the Title above to see this wonderful young man.

Oh yeah, and spread the word about Matt as well as this organization. You may be the very parent that Matt, or any of these other deserving children need.

Here's Channel 7's clip on Matthew - http://www.idahowednesdayschild.org/multimedia/Matthew4.mpg
