So today I decided to recapture my Photography Blog! lol The last time I posted on this Blog was 2008, I thought I couldn't recover my password and I GOT IT! Lots of things have changed since I started this blog and posted, I have evolved more as a Photographer and many other aspects in my life. It's simply Wonderful! I am going to dedicate this blog to strictly My Photography Works :) Keep an Eye out on updates and such, I have lots of things to share!

So it's been a Busy Past Couple Months..

2008-03-04T07:03:00.000-08:00

I have been super super Busy lately. I have been also very blessed to say that my Business is picking up :) I cherish all the Love and Support from my Friends and Family and I thank you all so much! You have no clue how much you help :) I have been purchasing and playing with all new sorts of things. New equipment and such. I experimented on Saturday with about 15 of my closest friends. 1200 Pictures later the Experience and reality of things really made my night. We had a blast with each other and it was Such a success! Looking at all 1200 pictures last night and going through all of them made me a little scared on how long it's going to take to edit them all but atleast only about 450-460 made the FIRST cut...hahah I am sure others will be cut as well :) But for now I leave you with a Group Shot...just one :) and I will Post other's as I go! Enjoy it!

Just Thinking about Different Times..

2007-11-12T20:17:00.001-08:00

So we all know I love pictures and I think that Pictures are a very very important thing for people to have. These are you Memories that are Trapped in Time and you will always have them to remember. Looking Back at all the old Memories that you were not part of but you get to enjoy them cause you have them . We all encounter different things in life and we get to remember them forever. Now that I am looking at some old ones it sit back and think about how it is now. Unfortunately to the best of my Knowledge there are 3 people that I see in these Pictures that have Passed...Unfortunately one of them is My Father. It's crazy to sit and think about it. It makes me miss him more and more. Like iI said though.... These are the Best Memories to Remember. This is The Day My Family Began.

I am looking forward to Capturing many More Memories....

Just Had to Add This...

2007-11-11T20:09:00.000-08:00

Fondoodie...

2007-10-08T07:30:00.000-07:00

So Saturday was Girls Fondue Night..I went out on Saturday during the day and I bought a Second Fondue Pot. I recommend the cuisinart electric pot, with the 20% off I paid $40.00! Not bad at all :) We shopped for a while, I took a small nap and Got ready for the fun! I had all my girls there and we started off with Cheese Fondue and Wine. Kellee, Cherine and Cuyler (Yay Cuyler) brought Sourdough Bread, Cheese Demi and Chiabatta Bread..and Ode brought Beer Bread... YUM-O! We dipped that in a Cheddar, Swiss and Beer Cheese Fondue. Yeah we love cheese. (can you tell what kind of person I am?)

Then next to the Chicken and Filet part of the meal... cooked in a broth with Mushrooms and I made roasted Potatoes on the side.. damn this is making me hungry.. We paused of course to smoke in between and played a couple games of Wii..

We started our Own Wii Bowling League... Fab League.. anyway.. lol After that little Break we had the most fufilling dessert... man I wish it was in front of me now.. I made my Usually Peanut Butter Chocolate Fondue.. we dipped.. ready? Homeade Cheesecake, Brownies, Cookies all made by Me. Maria brought Cupcakes. The girls Brought Banana's, Strawberrys, Pineapple, Apples and we also Had pretzel sticks... omg was it great..I hope I didn't leave any Scrumptious Detail out :)

So everybody left around 1:30 and I knocked out... Only 2 more days left of house sitting.. man it was fun.

Start Fresh...

2007-10-05T14:58:00.001-07:00

So today is the first Day that I decide to Blog... I always wondered about them and how hard they would be to keep up But I think it will be just fine for me. So what exactly to talk about in a blog is the Question... I can tell you about my day, but that wasn't really eventful. (besides the fab pic I took of myself to the left).. but I am going to tell you about what I am going to be doing this weekend though... lol Well tonight I am just hanging out. I might see my girls (it's a strong possiblilty) and then Tomorrow.. Is Fondoodie night!! I am Very Excited! I am going to have a bunch of girls over and we are going to eat lots of Fondue! There will be plenty of food, wine and pictures to be taken. I promise that I will post them. Oh yeah there is going to be alot of pictures on here so enjoy! Ok well I am kinda running short on things to talk about but I think I will start to get over that Eventually... Till next time!
