December Shoots

I have been extremly behind in getting my shoots posted. I have some really great shots to share with you but again, I am without my laptop which has the goods on it. Oh AND I must add that Mr. Incredible gave me the bug that I've had since Tuesday afternoon. I get to shoot the wedding of the year on Saturday....Mr. Incredible's grandma is getting married. Everybody at once...awwwwwww! And I am also ecstatic about a couple of Sassy Shoots on Sunday. I can already tell their husbands are going to love their Christmas gifts this year! For those of you inquiring, these are the dates I have open for December:
Dec. 7 9am
Dec. 13 9am
Dec. 20 9am & 3pm
Dec. 21 9am & 3pm

How was your Thanksgiving? Here's a sneak peak at mine.....







The Roberts Family


I have about 3 more families to post but Kenzie is demanding every bit of my attention right now. Until then I hope you enjoyed these as much I enjoyed taking them!!

And he says I'm picky?!?!

Since Boone was leaving for Kansas the following morning, I decided to make his all time favorite meal. This consist of hamburger patties, velveeta shells and cheese, and ranch style beans. He loves to eat it, I love the easiness of it. WELL I left our can opener at work (maybe someday generic soups will have the handy flip top lips) and I told Boone sorry hunny no ranch style beans with your meal. No response. So I piddled in our bedroom for a minute until I hear a clanging noise coming from the Kitchen. I look down the hallway and notice Kenzie sitting in the living room completly in tune to whatever is going on in the kitchen. I make my way around the corner and this is what I find.....

This boy is serious about his ranch style beans!

Wait!!

I totally forgot I was going to let everyone know that I am now booking for senior portraits! Packages vary but are still VERY affordable. Your senior portaits are about YOU and I enjoy seeing everybodies differn't tastes in styles. I'm already filling up so book now! Senior shooting will start at the end of Feb/first of March. Here are a few pics of last years seniors.

Don't take her rock.....

'Cause this is what will happen. Talk about breakin a momma's heart!

Girl's Night Anyone?

Because I'm really needing it right now. So much to do and so little time. Today my camera is the enemy along with Photoshop. I want nothing more than to go home, read "Love Dare" and take a long hot bath with a bottle....I mean glass of wine by my side with no interruptions. But that won't happen. Boone leaves for Kansas in the morning and perhaps this is why I'm stressed. Maybe it's because I have a list of Pros vs. Cons of taking Kenzie out of a daycare facility and placing her with a private sitter. I am suprised at how much the cons outweigh the pros right now....what are your thoughts? Speaking of wine, I am super excited to be taking Vicki and Josh's enagement pics at Brennan Vineyards next week. Not only because the pics are going to come out spectacular, but because I love love love Brennan Vineyard's wine! Yummy! And because Comanche is my old stompin grounds of course. I better draw my focus back to planning for the bridal fair. Boone is all excited about designing my booth space lol. He's such a sweetie!

Christmas comes early at the Cook house....

Finally some alone time....this weekend has been go go go. Thankfully Kenzie is asleep and the Cowboys have another quarter to go so Boone will be out of my hair for a little bit. Two cancellations this weekend meant more time for me to spend with my family that was in from Lubbock and San Angelo. Don't get me wrong, I was bummed we had to cancel the shoots but I don't blame those mommies for not wanting their kiddos in this breezy weather. OH just wanted to share my excitedness (is that a word) I got 10 emails Saturday alone for 4 weddings and 6 sets of engagement pics. I have a lot to be thankful for this year! Back to my family, Christmas is our favorite holiday! So with that comes being the only family in our neighborhoods with our Christmas decor out in the middle of November. We set up the tree and my grandmas house first and of course Santa Claus had to make his yearly debut. Kenzie LOVED him! It took her just one try to figure out where his button was and man did she press that thing none stop!

The other plus to having the family in town, is knowing me and Boone will have some alone time because they ALWAYS insist on keeping Kenzie for us. So we had a great night together! Today we made the decision and go ahead and unload our shed of what Christmas decor we have. Boone will be one the road pretty much until Christmas and its a family thing for us to put the tree up together. Suprisingly, Kenzie didn't want much to do with the ornaments on the tree...atleast for now.

Yes, those are presents already under the tree!

Christin Gause Photography

I need to give props to Christin Gause for taking our AMAZING family portraits a couple of weeks ago. She has been with us since Kenzie was still in my belly and w-o-w does she do a great job. I wish I could post all of them but I think I'll leave you with the one I love the most. Why you ask? Everytime I see this picture it gives me butterflies and reminds me how much I am in love with Boone and how much I have to be thankful for. I get the same feeling I did when Boone first kissed me. To me this is what photographing really is about...capturing those moments that will make you laugh, cry, smile, and yes, even get butterflies every time you see it. You rock Christin...can't wait for you to make the drive to Brownwood so I can do a "real" session with your family!

Finally a second to blog!

I don't know why I feel so accomplished to finally be doing this. Probally because I've had this blog for a couple of months now and this is my first entry. Things have been crazy! I think I like this a lot more then blogging on myspace. So now that I'm here, I'll run down quickly of what's been going on in our world. My photography business is picking up fast. Almost to the overwhelming point but that is such a blessing! Another blessing....my results came back from the doctor yesterday and everything was clear. No more bad cells YAY PRAISE GOD! Boone is still doing the band thing...I think they are in College Station this weekend; I can't keep up anymore. Yesterday we found out Kenzie will need tubes in her ears. Hopefully this will cure her not sleeping at night. I can't believe she is almost a year old and Boone can't believe how much I'm spending on Kenzie's birthday. You're only 1 once right?? Anyways, my parents will be here from Lubbock this weekend and I can't wait to see them! On one last happy note...my brother is transferring to Tech WOO HOO wreck em! We are so proud of him!
