2010 Senior Photo Shoot

My Favorite One!

What a great client! Cant wait to do more work with her and her family.

Clients like this make my job a real blast!

I really am blessed to be doing what I love =)

Thankful Thursday

I am very thankful for many things today. We finally got to meet lil miss Jaicee, Cacee & Jakes beautiful baby girl, she was born Wednesday morning! I made the comment that I feel like an aunt all over again. Its so exciting! I will also be starting a with a wonderful company on Monday that is opening up endless opportunities for me, such a blessing. Lastly, is my own business...the more experience I get the better things go and im so blessed to have such wonderful clients to work with! Without them I wouldnt be where im at today. A huge thanks to all of them!

Just like everyone I have my days of feeling completely lazy or like throwing in the towel of all the hard work that goes into this. Yet, im so glad I dont because its just so amazing seeing that you alone CAN accomplish your goals and turn the dreams into reality as long as you keep trying. Such a wonderful feeling! Im not perfect and no one is, but that doesnt mean I cant be proud of myself and continue doing what im doing!

WHAT DOESNT KILL ME WILL ONLY MAKE ME STRONGER!

One thing that has given me a real good laugh is this new song called "I Pray For You" by Jaron and The Long Road to Love. Sounds kinda odd saying a song about praying is funny huh? Yea, well listen to it!! I promise you will love it and be laughing!

So who are you praying for?!

What is right for one soul may not be right for another.

It may mean having to stand on your own

and do something strange in the eyes of others.

But do not be daunted,

do whatever it is because you know within it is right for you.

PS. Stay posted for Miss Katelyn's Senior pictures that I did a few days ago!

Your Guess??

Surprise suprise! Im back! Okay, so in my last post I asked what everyone thought we got over my mia spree...

Drum roll please...

Meet Ellie!

 This was the night we got her back from the "beauty parlor" haha.

Notice her Easter bandana?!

Mom got all these great shots!

Kisses =)

Those ears haha.

We really have been blessed with this dog. She has such a personality, its really amazing & hilarious. She has made a friend since being with us...none of us particularly care for that "doggy friend" either. Its a pain! However, if you saw how she acts when we try to run that other dog off you would understand. She gets SO upset at us and avoids us...then takes off with that friend. So typical. I swear she isnt really a dog most days! We LOVE her so much though. She has a great home now and is starting to plump up. Its nice to see her gaining weight so quickly!

Thanks Mama for the pictures!

Abandoned post...

To anyone who may read this blog or no Miss Winters, we would greatly appreciate your assistance. It appears that this post has been abandoned and needs some real attention... If you have any information or the whereabouts of this individual and blog please comment below.

Well....

Someone's got jokes tonight!

Okay, okay, so im not missing, but I do feel like it quite often. What can I say its been an interesting few weeks! At least I can definately say that its not all bad. There have been many things that have required most of my attention here lately. Now I know you all see my multi-task frequently, but im not the best anymore especially here recently. Lots of things have fallen in my hands along with MANY fine lines tagging along. Talk about walking on egg shells. So, yea, I tried not stress about all the little stuff and things I do for "entertainment" and just focus on whats right in front of me-aka-work, finances, relationships. I know it sounds like the everyday stuff, yet for some reason things have been very different with those three areas! Im not complaining at all because its all really challenged me, a challenge I have not had before and its interesting to see that im actually in charge of my attitude and choices for once instead of letting others try to make decisions for me. I feel like im rambling. Oh well. Anyways, long story short...I have just been consumed with important issues that needed more of my attention than this did for the time. Im sorry!!!

Of course I didnt completely abdonded my post with pictures and all. They just havent been posted yet! I did a shoot on Easter with Miss Charita, her fiance, and three boys. What an awesome group!!! SO please do keep posted for those pictures. Im pretty excited if ya cant tell =) As for other shoots...I will be doing a prom shoot this weekend for a family with Prairie Grove High. Keep your fingers crossed for great weather. So far so good!

OH....

Guess what my family and I got while I was mia...?

I will save it for the next post so leave a comment with your guess!

I want to leave you guys with a song that I have probably listended to 1000 times recently. If I had to ever right a song I dont think I could have changed one single line of this song. It reminds me of everything I think, feel, have said, and done! LISTEN TO IT! Oh and of course its perfect because im 20 yrs old now days =)

"Free To Be Me" by Francesca Battistelli

At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream

A war's already waged for my destiny

But You've already won the battle

And You've got great plans for me
Though I can’t always see

(Chorus)

‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender

Got a couple rips in my jeans

Try to fit the pieces together

But perfection is my enemy

On my own I'm so clumsy

But on Your shoulders I can see

I'm free to be me

When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out

My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow

But things don't always come that easy

And sometimes I would doubt

(Chorus)

And you’re free to be you

Sometimes I believe that I can do anything

Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring

But You look at my heart and You tell me

That I've got all You seek

And it’s easy to believe

Even though

(Chorus)

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity."

Im back.
