Note: Jaime lives a couple hours from where we are staying in Ohio.. and she decided to go on a road trip with Ethan! This evening we enjoyed some time just hanging out at the RV. The camp peoples were kind of PSYCO tho.. they hunted Jaime down and hounded her to pay some crazy $4.00 fee to stay and hang out. A bit extreme, not to mention chewing us out because she was supposively “driving to fast.” grief.. any who! after all that drama tho we enjoyed watching the kids scream, I mean Play :) **My boys were in such a fowl mood!!**
Ethan got banged up a bit but kept on moving. After a few hits in the head, a cut up toe and a slap on his cheek LOL he was still having fun. Aren’t boys great :)
(and noooo the injuries were not a result of my kids! - you were thinking that weren’t you?)
Tomorrow morning Jaime and I will ride to a big zoo to meet up with KATE! It will be a lot of fun I think. Heres praying our kids behave… being out of routine can really take its toll on your kids behavior… Lack of sleep doesnt help either. (totally our fault.. we’ve kept them up to late the past few nights)
I also hope to do some portraits of Ethan in the morning as well. If he lets me :)
Trade of talents is awesome!
Heres a snap I got tonight tho. Hes a cutie.
Now heres a few photos from the night we snagged:
We’ve done A LOT of jumping the past few days….
Stacey and Keith left this morning around 10am.
I tried getting Travis to get a photo of us together.. with the boys in their Canadian Gymboree shirts :) so cute…
But well.. lol the boys wouldnt look, Stacey shut her eyes haha and Travis had the camera slanted.
Still.. a great picture to put in our memory books!
We really enjoyed our visit with them. I hope our house wasn’t to small or our kids to loud for them :)
I look forward to seeing them again one day in the future.
In the mean time our blogs will be a great way to keep in touch and stay close.
To end I did a session for them :)
They were so cute and both very photogenic.
Heres a few I managed to edit while the boys played outside in the pool (under my watch of course)
and probably my favorite :) although I love them all!
*Many more to come of course will be viewable on
my FLICKR later on*
and… lastly.
A photo I got Keith to snap of Stacey and I.
Who knew she was so much taller than me :-D
At a recent shoot I had my friend Vickie came along. Shes trying to build her portfolio, what better way than to accompany another photographer!
I hope to use Vickie in the future for weddings as one of my assistants. She’d do great I think!
Any how she snapped this photo of me in action. I love these sort of shots.
As you can see I get close :)
This little girl was soooo cute!
Heres a shot from this position
We have this little hall way entrance way at the front of our house. Not to many people see it though since we are side entrance type of peoples :)
But none the less these frames have had old photos in them for years now… The pictures that were them… were from 2005. None of them had Taite in them… so I figured it was time for a few updated ones.
Heres a close up:
I put 1 close up of each of the boys…
Then two far away ones of them playing.
Travis said it was artistic looking ;-)
To those curious what this may cost..
The frames were $4.00 – $1.00 each at the Dollar Tree. They are actually DIPLOMA frames… hehe.. Because they are diploma frames the sizing is a bit different than the standard 8×10 frames you buy for pictures… they are 8×11.5? something like that. So what I did was I ordered 8×12 photos through the printing company I use… and then just cut them down to fit.
The price of the photo prints depends on who you go through.
Thats it! :)
