a glimpse into topeka's pix with chix

I ablsolutely love this time of year!!! It is when I get to break out of the house with my camera SO often!! That also means it is crazy busy and this is the first chance I have had to post a Pix with Chix glimpse!

All eyes were on the chickies! All chickies were on kiddos!

The weather was gorgeous! Thankfully, the expected rain stayed away and left us with a windy, windy day. All in all, the wind was not really that big of deal, though.

We all had such fun with all the soft birds... even the stuffed ducky that came to visit with his boy. ;D

I hope everyone is excited about next year! I can't wait!

a glimpse into kc's pix with chix

Pix with Chix in KC was a great success! Thank you to everyone who came out and allowed me to share such a memorable and fun event with you and your children. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! 

The weather was most agreeable and the chicks were so soft and entertaining! 

Although... they weren't quite as entertaining as the children playing with them!

Some of the kiddos couldn't get enough chickies and some little ones were happier with the small birds a "safe distance away."

I think it's safe to say that everyone had a great time and will not forget our time together anytime soon. :)

My favorite photo of the whole day still has to be this guy:

He kept giving the baby chicks baby kisses. You know how babies kiss... wide open mouth.  Every time he would kiss them, it looked like he was taking a bite! LOL! So precious and absolutely adorable!!!

Stay tuned for a glimpse into Topeka's event!! :D

sadness and joy

Sadness:

My last post joyously awaited Pix with Chix here in Topeka. The weather was forcast as nice with minimal chance of rain. My kids were excited, you were excited, I was excited... the weather... was disagreeable. I had to postpone the day of fun that was planned. :( Pix with Chix has been rescheduled for Sunday April 10th. Most people were able to move their time (someone joined the KC event), however there are still two spots available. If you or a friend would like to join us, please please please get in touch with me! I am still so excited for this event... I even have a new prop I am bringing!!! :) As great as this reschedule is... it isn't even the "joy" from the title...!

Joy:

I want my FaceBook page to be more than just a boring page. I want it to be more of a two sided page for me and others who love photography. I truly believe that you do not have to have a beautiful large camera like mine to catch some really great, creative, or fun stuff! I am formulating a plan to make my page a place for you to participate! Maybe have some photo games you can participate in! I love playing with my camera and photos and I know there are many others who enjoy it also. Whether with your phone camera, a simple point and shoot, or a DSLR I want YOU to come play on FaceBook with me... and your camera! :D Keep an eye out for the "rules" and upcoming games!!! 

Pst... don't forget to *like* the page (www.facebook.com/faithfotos)  because you can't play if you aren't there...!

These were a few of the test shots I took of our Pix with Chix location here in Topeka! If you have a time scheduled, you should have received an email confirming your appointment time. The email also included the address. It is fairly easy to find, however, if you have trouble, feel free to call me. I will have someone available to give directions.

Time spots are all full! (Yay!) If you missed this opportunity, spring is still a prime opportunity to have your child(ren)'s photos or family photos taken. Call me (or text if you prefer) at 785 506-1534 to schedule a time.

I can't wait to see all the "funny bunnies" this Saturday! :D
