For Katie . . .

If any of you REALLY know me and KNOW me from High School then you will know that Katie Thalman and I were THEEE best of friends and pretty much glued at the hip!! Well, I got the chance to take a few photoz of her cute little guy, J.w. at Wes and Jerika's wedding a few months ago. Oh how stinkin' cute he is and I enjoyed taking photoz of him for my best friend, Katie . . . here's a scrapbook page I made for her! :-)

Katie and me . . . Katie says we still look as good now as we did then LOL :-)!!! I know I'm thinking I look BETTER now than I did then!! :-) I LOVE this friend of mine and I'm sooo happy that she's back in my life. We lost touch for awhile, but nothing has changed! We still LOVE to be around each other and I just wish we lived closer!!

Thankz to Katie's brother, Jake, my brother that I never had as I referred to him when I was younger, for taking this photo!! He had sooo much fun with my camera in his hands!! I think there were EIGHT photoz of me and Katie . . . he was excited to shoot my camera and just kept pushing the button!! He said that he's always wanted to to that!! Too funny!!! I will always be so grateful for this day to hang out with my friend, Katie!! I do have to mention that I'm looking pretty darn good for just throwing up . . . I had the flu taking photoz so it was a looong day!! :-)

Once again I was asked to donate to Sub For Santa and of course I said YES!!! Here's a sample of the gift certificate. Get your tickets to WIN this FREE photo session with me from Ashley Barney!! The tickets are $1.00 or 6 for $5.00. Let's bring in a lot of money for Sub For Santa!! I was honored to be asked again this year to donate to such a GREAT cause!! :-)

Contest Winner . . . I mean WINNERS Announced!!

DRUM ROLL . . . . .. the winner is ASHLEY JOHNSON!!! She was the closest guess to my question!!! Although I had to have a TIE BREAKER question!! My question was how many photo shoots did I do this year (2010) and how many weddings did I do? I took photoz at SIX weddings and did 64 photo shoots this year!!! To me that is a TON and I'm sooooo sooooo soooooo VERY THANKFUL to all of you out there for letting ME capture your family memories through my style of PHOTOZ!!! I LOVE what I do and I LOVE each one of YOU out there!! I love my fans and I love my clients!!! Words cannot express how happy you all make me when I get a call saying that you want ME to take your family photoz!! 64 shoots for me, like I said, is a TON!!! It might not seem like a lot to some people or other photographers, but for me it's a TON and such a GREAT blessing and a HUGE compliment to me and my work. Like I said before . . . this contest was NOT to brag about my business it was simply me being sooo THANKFUL for getting to do what I LOOOVE and wanting to GIVE BACK . . . so with that said . . . CONGRATS to Ashley and her family for winning a FREE family photo shoot for next year (2011)!!!

Here's their photo that I took back in 2009 :-)

Okay so Ashley guessed I took photoz at 7 weddings and did 66 shoots. And well then Chrystal guessed I took photoz at 4 weddings and did 63 shoots. So it was way too close for me to call . . . so I asked each one of them another question. How many weddings have I said NO to for 2011 and Ashley was the closest answer with 6. I have said NO to 5 weddings for 2011. So CONGRATS to BOTH OF YOU because Chrystal I want to give you HALF OFF your family photo session for 2011. :-)
Here's Chrystal's family from this year that I took!! CONGRATS to the BOTH of you and I look forward to taking your family photoz again next year!!! I want to THANK ALL of you who entered!!! It was sooo much fun to see your answers and many of you wrote such NICE words to me and I REALLY appreciate your kindness!!! I look forward to 2011 although there will be HUGE changes coming for my business AFTER I TAKE A MUCH NEEDED BREAK!!!! :-) Details coming soon . . . now back to edting MORE PHOTOZ!!! :-) CONGRATS again and THANK YOU EVERYONE that entered!!! I was overwhelmed with how many actually entered, so THANK YOU!!! Love ya, Rayni :-)
