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...!

funny bunny

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

spring is coming

On cold days like this one, when we once again call this snow the "last of the season", I have to remind myself that spring is in fact right around the corner. I dislike winter. I don't like to be cold and I don't like the dreary look to the plants all around. For me, snow and a roaring fire are all that make winter bearable once Christmas is over. Having snow this late in the game, however, is discouraging.

I am excited for spring! I am excited for the new life that spring brings. Green grass, budding trees, birds chirping, and rain puddles thrill me! I adore watching nature change through children's eyes and see the magic when they realize that the dead flowers have come back once again. The sweet aroma of blossoms and freshly cut grass mixed with the savory smell of steaks on the grill may work on my allergies, but it energizes and rejuvenates me!

With the warmer weather comes business anew. Spring is a beautiful time of year for photos. The bright colors and warm air are very inviting! I cannot wait to get back outside with my camera without freeeeezing. I cannot wait to capture the life all around me! I cannot wait to capture the faces of sweet children playing among the life! I cannot wait to capture spring on my camera once

again.
