Josie & Piper's Big Debut 2-10-2011

One of my oldest friends Crystal gave birth to her twin girls this morning. I was so happy that I was one of the first to be called after their entrance into the world. The girls were so beautiful, each one looked just like one of their older sisters Riley and Hattie... so this make 4 daughters now and 5 girls in the house including Mommy. Daddy is WAY outnumbered :) These were just a few photos to get them started in their baby book. The nurses came and whisked them away to the nursery to bake for a little while. Just want to say Congrats again Crystal and Blake, and Love you guys!

Our Great Upcoming Adventure

Our family will soon be taking a trip and not returning to Oklahoma or at least if we do it will only be for a visit. My hubby asked to be transferred to his job's office in North Carolina. He feels he could help them out and at the same time learn a bunch himself. Hopefully it is the best thing for our family and maybe he'll get a promotion one day soon. We're going to wait till June after my daughter Athena gets out of school.
I'm hoping my photography does great too since it will be a fresh start... I mean heck I'll only be a few hours away from the ocean too :) I can't wait!

Busy Bee

Once again I have neglected the blog but I'm trying to get everything in order. 2011 is my year for organization and taking the time to keep everything up as I need to.

On a good note I finally took the plunge and purchased a domain name and website last week. I hopefully will have it up and running this week. I have been hard at work all week trying to finish it up but it is stressful.... Here is a peek of what it is going to look like.

Once it is done my website is going to be http://www.nineoneeightstudios.com/ so check it out at a later date :)

Eclipse Party

So I went to watch Eclipse on the 2nd... It was great. A friend of mine had an Eclipse Party before the show and we played trivia and she had made some awesome cakes of course... one in honor of Jacob fans and one in honor of the lovely Edward, I mean Edward fans, can you tell what team I am on? I go for the pale ones :) There is just something about being bitten that is sexy... not that I would know anything about that anyways, TMI huh :)

here are her awesome looking and yummy tasting cakes, Thanks again Brooke!

Bridal Independence

I just wanted to share one of my new favorite shots from my first trash the dress session last weekend. With it being 4th of July weekend this weekend I thought I'd add a new twist....
