A busy month to come filled with ups and downs!

Well as some of you may know I am closing Prissy Ink...It is sad but I know its the right decision with the economy being what it is. We will keep the website up and going so we will continue our sales there. With that said it gives me time to focus on my photography which I might add is doing very nicely. God has certainly blessed me with clients! I am almost completely booked for April weekends and I am taking appointments for May. I have 8 photo shoots this weekend! WOW! It will be a whirlwind! I am looking forward to it! I will be posting some sneak peeks after Sunday.

On another note... My cousin Karen is in town this week and she is a photographer in Atlanta! Well she took our family photos tonight! I am so excited I cannot wait to see them... Its odd being on the other side of the camera! I don't like this waiting! HAHA!

My baby girl turned 5 this weekend! Oh what a blast they had! We had a Girly party filled with little Divas. They got their hair done, their nails painted and the faces made up! Oh what fun! I will leave you with a photo from that and a photo from few shoots I had recently!

Oh my gosh! I haven't posted in a month!

Time flies when you are having fun! Happy St. Patty's Day! I hope everyone is having an awesome March! I know I am! My photography business is doing well and I am meeting some pretty great new people! I have many upcoming photo shoots so hopefully I will be able to keep up with this thing and post some peaks! I have done a few shoots since I last posted! I was able to do a model photo shoot for the beautiful Jade and a big family gathering for the Longs and the Vaughts! They were a great family to work with. Such nice people and beautiful children! I am still scheduling photo shoots. I am pretty much booked for March and I am booked the first weekend in April. I have blocked off the 2nd weekend in April for my anniversary (9th woohoo) so let me know if you want to schedule! I have a few I know that want to so better get you time scheduled!

Ready to get back to work!

Hey guys! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! I did! I have been off since Christmas and so has my hubby so I am living in a dreamland right now! But its time to get back to business... Back to work tomorrow! I am looking forward to the New Year and I hope you are too! I can't wait to see what God has planned for me in 2009! Here are a few from the Holidays and one last shoot before Christmas! ~Tina

My Nephews!

S&B
My Crazy Family!

And even crazier...!

Are you Ready? I'm not!

Well Christmas is less than a week away and I am not ready yet! It has snuck up on me this year and with everything else thats going on time has gotten away from me. Oh well! It will all come together in the end! Things have really picked up at the store and we are in full swing daily! Its very hectic and a little overwhelming but this is a learning process. I have one more photo shoot this weekend and then I think I am with Holiday Photo shoots until the new year! It has been such a blessing to meet so many new families this year and be able to capture their memories they will cherish forever. I will post a few from some shoots since my last one. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that you take time to remember the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus. I thank God daily for the Jesus and the sacrifices he made so that we may one day dwell in the house of the Lord! Oh what a glorious day that will be! May God bless you in the coming year.

Back to work and tired!

Well I stayed home 3 weeks post surgery and this is my first week back to work. I must say it has been a little overwhelming and very exhausting! But I am making it. Christmas season is in full swing and somehow I just am not there yet....hmmm I need some Christmas cheer! Anyway I was scheduled to have 3 photo shoots last weekend and with the wonderful rainy weather we had I had to reschedule them. I have 3 shoots this weekend so look forward to some postings next week. For now I will leave you with a few from this weekend of my darling little ones and my sister and her husband. The sky was gloomy but they are okay!

Post Surgery Recovery and the photo shoots from the week before!

Well I am at home recuperating from my surgery and let me say I am glad to be home! The surgery was a little tougher on me than I thought it would be and I had a reaction to a medication they gave me to help me rest! Lets just say that a whole day is gone from my memory. A little scary to say the least. Hopefully all of that is behind me and I am on the road to recovery! Thank you to all of you for your calls, emails and prayers they have meant the world to me! If you still need to schedule your Holiday photo appointment please do say I have a dew spots left at the end of the month. I will leave you with some shots from the many shoots I had before the surgery! Martin Family, Wellons Family, Sanders Family, Hardee family, and Blake and Ginger! Have a great week!

Whew what a week last week was!

Well last week was a whirlwind for my family! My Father-in-law had heart bypass surgery unexpectedly last week and it threw our already hectic week way out of wack. Thank you to all of you who sent your prayers our way they were defintely felt! He is at home and recuperating!

In the midst of that I had two photo appointments last week, fall festival at church, and we left for our mountain vacation...your head spinning yet? I know mine was! But it was a wonderful and much needed break. We had a great time!

Now back to the grind... 1 week to go before my surgery and the time is quickly running out to get everything done! This week on top of getting the store ready I have 8 photo appointments before Tuesday! Whew! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

Time Flies!

Well I know, I know it has been along time since my post! I just can't seem to remember to do this. Anyway, life has been good over the past month! The kids are doing well in school and I think we are all finally adjusting. My Grandmother celebrated her 80th Birthday with a surprise party put on by her sons and it was lots of fun! I pray that when I am 80 I have a big party like that and that I am surrounded by that many friends! My Dad had back surgery this past weekend in Charleston and it was a struggle to handle everything with the kids and the store so that I could go and be there with him and help my mother but in the end it all worked out. He is doing well and is home. While in Charleston I had time to read "The Shack" by Paul Young. This book is amazing! It has changed me somehow in how I think about my realtionship with God and how I want it to be. It is a fiction book but some of the dialog rings so true. I hope that you will take the time to read it. It might just change who you are!

Well I have been working on getting Christmas cards ready for photo clients and I am scheduling appointments. If anyone is interested in hosting a Picture Party let me know we can do these as well. Please email me or call if you want to setup your Holiday session! I will leave you with a few pictures I have taken recently. Until next time...

Been preoccupied! Sorry!

Well the end of summer has arrived! Let's have a moment of silence to mourn the quick passing of Summer! ......................................................................................... Well where did it go? My family and I just got back from a long weekend at Pawleys Island our last hoo-rah for the end of the summer! It was much needed and enjoyed! Well where do I start a lot has taken place in the past couple of weeks!

First up some pics I took of the kids! Fun! They are growing up so fast!
