When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Our plans of spending Spring Break at Lake Eufala did not happen as planned. Instead of a lazy week of sitting by the campfire, fishing and spending time with family, we dove in to several projects here at the office. I tapped in to my creative side and painted three new backgrounds for James to use in the camera room (pictures coming soon). I can't wait to see how they will look in photographs. Jim and the kids used the time to lay new flooring in the camera room and to hang a lighting system from the ceiling. We have one more big project to do before our break is over; a new natural light camera room. So even though we did not get to enjoy time away at the lake, it gave us the opportunity we needed for projects that we have been putting off for lack of time. Can't wait for you to see all of our improvements.

Got Bunnies!


Yes, it's almost here. Time for bunnies. You probably just received your flyer in the mail promoting our annual Easter photos. We have already had lots of calls so don't wait until last minute. After school appointments always go first. Also there is no school scheduled for April 10th, so keep that in mind for picture day.

Another busy weekend




What better way to spend the weekend than supporting your kids. Isaac went to his second TSA (Technology Student Association) conference in Rushsprings where he won 1st place in Digital Photography. He says in runs in his blood. He was so excited with his win since his album in the first conference was disqualified because of missing release forms. Then we were off to Edmond for a gymnastics meet for Ivy. She did so good, 3 blues and a red. (Blues=great job, red=ok). Her balance on the beam was great for every move except on one turn she lost her footing and fell. My heart broke for her since I know that is the event she loves the most. She is so focused on finishing every pose she makes it look so easy. Although it was a long day, I wouldn't have it any other way. Being able to support and encourage your children...priceless.
