Mud Men...

A few years ago my family was on their way to church one December morning and as we were driving we passed a Mud man....I am talking about a 3 tier mud man. At this time in my life I thought it was the coolest thing in the world because I had never seen snow and I appreciated the creativity of those who made it! About a year after that I was off at ACU and understood the beauty of snow...I witnessed my first snowfall (that stayed on the ground) of my life. It snowed on Valentines day of Freshman year. I made a snow man for the first time...I also realized that underneath the snow there was not mud but rather more snow! It was awesome!

I love you guys so much I wanted you to share the joy of snow and Christmas with these two pictures...I hope you like them...both are of my favorite Santa in the world! Have a wonderful Christmas and let your family know they are loved!!

In with Relics...

I have been making some crafts so that I can stay at home with Baby Cade and one of those crafts is a wire cross with beads on it. I was encouraged to find a store that would buy them from me so I went to a local store called Relics. The boss thought they were super cute and decided to buy all 5 I had with me! I was so excited! I am praying they sell so that I can make and take her some more. I really want to be able to stay at home with Cade and this (along with photography) would be the greatest way for me to create an income while at home. Wish me luck! Have a great evening!!
Here's another picture of Cade, this time at 3 months old.

SO...there are many things in life that happen everyday for millions of people and one of them is happening to my family...We are in transition! Meaning...We are moving...We don't have a place secured yet, we are still waiting on the bank, but till then we are staying with an aunt. She is a blessing!
You know...many people are huge blessings...such as our best of friends the Wright's and the Giles family. They helped us pack up our entire house and watch our little baby until the very end! THEN, after all of that work, they cooked up an amazing dinner with steaks and burgers and hotdogs. Amazing! The greatest of friends are there all the time even in your roughest of times. They are like your family they never give up on you and they will love you and never stop living life with you! I love you guys!! Thank you so much!

Checkin in...

I have been out for a while...trying to get use to being a mom and learning more about my camera!
First off...I love being a mom! I get to play with Baby Cade all day! He is so much fun and is becoming more animated every day. He is also a great baby model! I am thinking GQ is in his near future ;0)
I have also been doing a few photography jobs here and there and playing with different lighting and learning so much more about my camera and photoshop. I have been really busy but have been having a blast every minute! Here are a few shots of what I have done...The one on the left is a picture of my baby, Cade at 2 months old and the one on the right is a picture of my father-in-law holding Cade's feet. More to come later...

Where's my buddy...

...While the cat's away the mice will play ;0) Chelsea has been at a church camp with her husband and his youth group for the last week...I have been trying to do as much as I can before she gets back, but it is so easy for me to get side tracked by baby stuff because I only have 5 days until Cade is suppose to be here. I have also missed working with my partner because she spurs me on with better ideas and more creative ways of shooting pictures. I am so excited for her to get home because our next task is to shoot pictures of our friends new baby boy!
I wish you knew her...she is super cool and lots of fun to hang out with!
As soon as I can get them loaded on this computer I will load up a picture of Chelsea in action! She goes to the extreme for a good shot! (You will see what I mean later!)

Megan's First Blog...

So, I am starting a new business with my friend Chelsea G. We have been getting our friends together to take some practice shots with and some of the pictures have actually helped me to expand my creative horizon! I never thought I could find some great places in Abilene to use in the background of my pictures. That is really why I have taken so long to start a business here.

I absolutely love taking pictures! I have taken many shots of couples for their engagement and just for fun. I have done bridal portrait shots and weddings. I have also done senior pictures.

I am starting this business so that I can stay at home with my new baby! I will have Michael Cade any day now...his expected birthday is July 23, 2008, but we will see what he has in mind. My husband will be helping me by editing all of the pictures and by being the master mind behind my website! He is so creative! He is also my encouragement and my support when I don't feel like I can do it any more.

I hope you enjoy our pictures and we look forward to getting to know you and capturing your special moments!
