I especially wanna wish the Silver Lake Lady Mustangs a special good luck in their quest to a state title! Coach Crowe, Coach Lovin & all you ladies make us PROUD! We wish you the best!
Not only are these ladies all star basketball players, but awesome singers/dancers...check out the following link to see it for yourself!!! Your video rocks, but I'd pay money to see Coach Crowe doing some of those moves!
We Will Rock You!

Model Shoot{Rocking the Lense}
Before wedding season gets completely under way, I decided it would be fun to do some practice shoots. Missy was kind enough to model for me even though she really isn't married. And let me tell you that she was the perfect model and put up with me asking her to do some pretty crazy things!
She totally rocked the lense. Thanks Missy...I really appreciate it!
If you love her headpiece, which I TOTALLY do...check out www.joannemirandadesigns.com. Joanne is awesome to work with and has a ton of great pieces!

tickle me{Katie}
Check out a few pictures from my shoot with Miss Katie Rae! She had her Dad on the go the whole time of our shoot and if he wasn't tickling her she was keeping him on his toes by jumping off things...high things...like trailers and hay bails.
You were a ton of fun Katie...hope you got that chocolate Mom & Dad were bribing you with!

Please visit our bridal booth this weekend at Lochland Country Club's Bridal Gala and talk to us about our special being offered only to brides attending the Gala!
love{Dustin & Megan}
This was my first wedding for 2009 and what a great way to start!
Dustin & Megan were great to work with and had a beautiful day for their February wedding. One never knows if they will get sun or snow when planning a winter wedding. Whatever the weather would've been like, this couples true love for each other and their families made everyone's heart feel warm and cozy that day.
Their entire gallery will be available online soon. If you wish to view it, you must get a password and approval to view from the bride & groom. Please leave me a comment and I will check with them, then forward the password to you if they are a okay with you checking it all out!

I especially like this first one! This was my view from a hammock one afternoon and I LOVE HAMMOCKS!! If you ever need to d-stress, pull this picture up and just imagine yourself basking in the sun!

sweetness {Addison Wanda}
Meet little Miss Addison! This is the second child for one of my best friends from high school. She was a few days early and still over 9 lbs...yet so very tiny! Garrett, I appreciate you sharing your sister with me...she's pretty cute, so I'd keep her around for awhile! Thanks Mel & Yancy!
think {GREEN} ... tip 1
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...and I think YOU can too!
There are plenty of things each of us can do to be more Green. As I mentioned in my post last week, I would really like to start using reusable bags at the market rather than the plastic ones, yet the day after I made a quick stop at the store, got what I needed, paid and realized as I was walking out the door that I had a plastic bag in my hand. It takes some preplanned thought and a true desire to do it.
Why even worry about it...well...
Worldwide, hundreds of billions of plastic bags are consumed each year. Less than 3% are recycled; the rest are clogging landfills, blowing down our streets and threatening wildlife. Because of their negative environmental impact, from manufacturing to disposal, many countries are banning or taxing plastic bag use (as much as 20 cents per bag!). As petroleum based products, the cost of plastic bags will continue to rise, being passed on to consumers. As tax payers, we are also bearing the staggering costs of clean up and disposal, estimated at 5.2 cents per bag. (except courtesy of http://www.bhappybags.com/about-us/)
So Blane and I tried harder the next time...over the weekend we bought the bag below for less than $4.00 and another store brand one for $.89. My plan is to purchase one bag with each trip. It's so easy...ther're usually right by the checkout counter. Eventually I'll have what I need! Then every time, I just need to put them back in the vehicle to be prepared for future trips...not that difficult really!!
Let me know what you are doing or are thinking about doing to preserve our planet for the future...remember EVERY LITTLE bit helps and maybe your idea will be my next "THINK GREEN" tip!!

meet {my SUGAR BABIES}
I don't believe I've ever posted any pictures of my two little people. So here they are... meet Emma & Atley, aka Thing 1 and Thing 2. Like they really need more sugar in their life, but it was well worth the smiles that these suckers brought to their faces!
Were do I Begin?
I am really trying hard to make reading part of my morning routine and reading to the kids part of our evening routine...however as you can see from my ever growing pile of choices below, I'm having a difficult time getting anywhere. I just know that I cannot step foot into another bookstore until I tackle these first.
On top of the reading (literally), I'm trying to journal...it's good for you or so I've been told!
Beside the journaling, the one book Blane & I are focusing on is The Love Dare by Stephen & Alex Kendrick! Check it out...it is a 40-day challenge for husbands and wives to understand and practice unconditional love...come on...take the dare with us!

tiny.TOES {meet Gus William}
Meet the first baby born in 2009 in Central Nebraska...Gus William. Isn't he just precious! And how blessed and grateful am I that I get to be his very first photo shoot! Thanks Brad & Tara for allowing me to get some pictures of your New Year's baby!
change.INSPIRING
STOP ... before you even begin reading this post, I urge you to copy/paste the following link, choose the second song (it's got pretty pictures) and listen to the song!
http://www.oprah.com/article/world/peopleandpolitics/pkginauguration/20090119_tows_americassong
Okay...did you honestly do as your were instructed...just kidding!
As most people do, I have my beliefs in certain things, however this blog is not meant for any expressions of that type!
With that being said, I did want to simply share with you these links as I found them touching and inspiring. They are both based on the events of the Inauguration this week and obviously both are supportive of President Obamas election to lead this country.
Again, I will not say one way or another as to my view on our new President...I will say that whether you support him or oppose to support him...he is indeed our President and he needs our prayers!
I do feel, all beliefs aside, the happenings of the phrase ... a CHANGE has come ... has given a new sense of pride in the simple things YOU (not just one man) can do to CHANGE our country, states, communities and homes ... simple things such as helping your neighbor and treating our planet better ... no matter the reason behind it ... it is wonderful and enlightening to see!
Please check out the following video! You will also need to copy and paste it.

So what do you pledge...
I pledge to begin using cloth bags at the market, drink more water but not as much bottled water, work at a soup kitchen at least once this year and be a better mom & wife!
Again...what do you pledge? Comments are welcome...but only if you have something nice to say!
One last phrase from President Obama ...
So let us summon a NEW SPIRIT
of PATRIOTISM
of RESPONSIBILITY
where EACH of US RESOLVES
to PITCH IN
and WORK HARDER
and LOOK after NOT only OURSELVES but EACH OTHER
While on the topic of helping others...thanks to everyone who made a comment for the cans! I appreciate your responses and think the Hastings Food Pantry will appreciate it as well!

Shame on Me!
I'm back!!
Okay, okay so my ever so traditional idea of New Years Resolutions (mine being blogging daily) did quickly follow by what seems like the traditional breaking of the New Years Resolution. Like they say...if you fall off the horse, the best thing to do is get right back in the saddle!!
I have however been keeping a nice list of different things I want to blog...some deal with photography, some life and some are just this and that.
This happens to be a picture of my Christmas gift from Blane! It will be going with me to a few upcoming bridal shows and will eventually go in my studio/office...which I've got him busily working on. We'll try to posts pictures of that project as it comes along.
