Jesse and Kensy have been getting to come hang with us a little more lately. Ty loves it when they come since Jesse pretty much drives him around on the golf cart ALL DAY (even if he is tossed out of it once or twice!) and Kensy loves playing outside in the fort with him.
That's...

Wow! Get ready for a really BIG MEGA-POST!
Why? Because, I totally could not narrow these pics down to just a few for the blog. I had SO much fun during Jessica's session! She is another past student of mine (from when she was in the 4th grade!!!). I also taught Jessica's sister Leslee…
I...

I was originally scheduled to have a session with this family a couple of weeks back, but life kept getting in our way. We had to reschedule twice! But, it all worked out for the Addington Family because, in the mean time, they won a gift certificate for almost 1/2 off their session! Pretty cool,...

My new favorite holiday Gift!http://www.thepolkadotdaisy.wahmweb.com/store/WsDefault.asp?One=12
October 27, 2008 - 4:51 pm
I’m a tree hugger so my favorite gift is Sigg water bottles. 
October 27, 2008 - 5:24 pm
Those are great, I’ve been coveting a cool camera strap for a while!
The perfect gift for me? The full version of Photoshop. Oh how I wish I could afford it… Back in the realm of the possible? A decent tripod.
October 27, 2008 - 6:17 pm
Cute – these are my new favorite things! I can’t wait to get one for my mother-in-law for Christmas.
My perfect gift would be – having my husband home so I can have some ‘me time’!
October 27, 2008 - 9:27 pm
These are great! Would make those long walks around the park, zoo, and botanical gardens with a camera around my neck a little more pleasant! My biggest wish for holidays (my birthday is in there too) would be for a new Canon XSI or 40D camera…but that is wishful thinking
October 27, 2008 - 9:42 pm
I’m going to need one of those. I love the leopard print! I am asking Santa for a crumpler photo bag. We had fun at the zoo, thanks for calling us!
October 27, 2008 - 10:29 pm
i’d love to have one of these.
Thanks for a generous giveaway. I hope I’m the lucky winner.
October 27, 2008 - 11:29 pm
LOVE these!! You know a photographer-in-training like me needs one of these adorable things!!!!!!!!
My fav gift – personalized ginger bread houses from Williams Sonoma. You can get the person’s name written on the front of the house and it is delivered to them in wonderful packaging. My family members rave about this gift all the time!

My favorite gift idea is something from the heart. I love homemade, handmade items. Buying things are nice too but something made by those who love you is the greatest gift. My grandmother used to make the most beautiful quilts. I still have one she made my parents along time ago and I cherish it. One day I will pass it down to my daughters and hope one day they will then pass it down to their children.

October 28, 2008 - 2:50 pm
My favorite gift to give was the personalized 8 x 11 calendar I made for my dad last year with pictures of my daughter from every month of the year (she was born in January, so it worked out well). I would love to do that again this year. I should get started on that!!
October 28, 2008 - 6:31 pm
My favorite gift idea is books. I like to pick out books for children and giftcards to bookstores for adults.
I love this strap cover. I am adding it to my list to my Christmas list. If I don’t win maybe my husband will get me one.

I like the pink pastel floral one! What a neat idea
October 28, 2008 - 9:37 pm
I like the red polka dot floral one in the last shot. Maybe she should name them for easier selection?
I certainly don’t mean to be rude as I love them and would love to win one LOL! It’s just a suggestion as people like things as easy to do as possible. I think they are absolutely charming!
October 28, 2008 - 9:50 pm
What a nifty idea!!! I am looking into a new scanner…why weren’t pics always digital???
October 28, 2008 - 10:21 pm

My favorite gift idea is a handknitted wristband. I make them for my family and friends, and they’re quick, inexpensive, and heartfelt presents.
October 29, 2008 - 11:35 pm
My favorite gift idea for family is photo calendars ordered from Shutterfly. Then every month they can display a new photo of the family on the calendar. It’s useful too.W e can insert everyone’s birthdays in it too.
October 30, 2008 - 1:14 am
Very cool idea! My neck strap is killing me.
I bought my granddaughter a sterling silver disk necklace with her name on it and a birthstone dangle. So pretty!

One year, I made my grandmother a personalized quote calendar. (It was a bit of a paper waster, I admit I am guilty of that.) But I had printed a quote per day onto half sheets of decorative paper, put them all in a binder, and covered the binder with fabric and lace. I am usually not a creative person, so I was really excited about this one. I would recommend maybe doing a monthly version and not use quite so much paper.
October 30, 2008 - 10:17 am
way cool. i like giving handmade gift.
thanks for the giveaway.
October 30, 2008 - 11:50 am

I like homemade gifts. I want to try to do all my shopping on etsy this year. Plus, there are so many talented people out there that I would like to support.
I am a photographer too and would love to have one of those straps.
Tell your sister – great job!
October 30, 2008 - 5:35 pm
These are awesome! Love that they’re reversible.
For Christmas, I want a studio lighting kit. Just something inexpensive, as I only really photograph my toddler.
