Well the beginning to a very long day could not have gone any better. This cooperative little boy was such a joy to work with (along with his parents ;-). He was in such a good mood and so eager to please the camera....and me for that matter. I hope you guys enjoy your sneek peek...


such a handsome boy

isn't this the cutest little hat...ever?!?


now if this doesn't make you smile...I don't know what will!


he loves his daddy

and the look he has for his mommy...sigh

what. a. day

So yesterday was supposed to be an organized stress-free day. The kind of day where you get a lot of stuff done and at the end of the day, you look back and say...."wooo hooo! I did good!" Ya...no. That was definitely not today. I got up early (like usual), got my choars and normal morning stuff done and then headed to Chico. I needed to finish up some Christmas shopping (this was around 8am). Old Navy --check. Target --check. Michaels --check. The mall (9am) NOT OPEN I was royaly irritated. I could not believe that the mall would not be open at 9am 3 weeks before Christmas!! I had to be back in Corning by 11am for my first session so I took my business somewhere else ---hmmm (arms crossed--nose up).

I made it to my first session on time and met a lovely family. Half way through the session my camera started telling me ERROR 20 about every other picture... I had no clue what was going on. Assuming it was a problem with my memory card, I attempted to switch cards. This did not solve my problem. --imagine me secretly FREAKING OUT!! After the session was over I immediately called Canon...and ya, my camera is having a technical MALFUNCTION!!! WHAT?????? See, any other day this would be nothing but an inconvenience...but today, this was a HUGE problem. I had two more sessions following this session. I'm crying, and crying and freaking out...and crying. Luckily my mother-in-law has a camera that I was able to borrow. Sooo...I go home charge the battery and head to my next session. I get there, meet another happy couple, get ready to take their pictures..and realize....I FORGOT THE BATTERY. :-( Thankfully Lindsey and Bryce were soooo sweet to bear with me and allow me to go home and get my battery. Needless to say I went to bed at 8:40pm. Oh whatta day!!
