Senior Yearbook Ads

I designed Nick's yearbook ad. It is hard to believe he's already almost ready to graduate from high school.

I can't take credit for the image from New Zealand. He wasn't willing to pay my travel expenses to get that image. Maybe next time. ; )  Also, the baby picture was taken way before I even knew Nick existed.

I would love to design your yearbook ad!

What does the flu look like?

Well, when you are Riley the Invincible, it looks like this...

The doctor didn't want to give him the flu test because Riley didn't look sick enough to have the flu. We insisted that he give it because a few kids in Riley's class had the flu. We were right. If he hadn't had a fever (and later some stomach issues), we never would have know. All he ever complained about was that his neck hurt. We really need to listen when he complains, because it must be bad.

Spooks & More

We were able to spend Halloween with one of Riley's best friends. What a Treat!

They live in a great neighborhood for Trick-or-Treating. The kids always have a blast, but it is even sweeter when candy and costumes are involved.

Not scared of anything

Riley isn't scared of much these days. He rode everything we would let him ride at the fair. Thank goodness he was about an inch too short to ride the most outrageous of the rides. We'll have to see how adventurous Mom and Dad are next year.

Can you believe he rode the roller coaster by himself?!

I'll try to get the Halloween pictures edited and posted this week. Watch for another post soon!

Ho! Ho! Ho! --- Holiday Card Samples

Here are the holiday card samples that I promised to show you. Use images from a previous session or schedule a mini session before November 22 to ensure the cards arrive in time.

Canvas Prints & Studio Upgrades

My canvas samples arrived. I love them! What a great way to present images. This is only a small section of the family room that I've recently set up as a presentation and display area. The room makeover will take more time to complete, but it is ready for clients now.

It was hard to let this one go. It was my first large canvas print. I'm so glad that Eva and Craig loved it, but it looked so great that I didn't want to deliver it. Believe me... large canvas prints are incredible. I really liked the print small, but the canvas blew me away.

Friends, Chess, Trophies

Riley didn't want to play in the chess tournament last weekend until he found out that one of his best friends from Montessori Center School was going to be there. He was a little concerned about moving up from the Kindergarten level to the First-Third Grade level in the tournaments. He ended up winning 3 of 4 games and getting a trophy. His school team also won two trophies. Needless to say, he had a great time playing chess, and he got to play with Quincy in between games.
