Headshots at Ego Salon

Tony recently provided Chante at Ego Salon with some professional headshots.

Tony and I have both been seeing Chante for all of our haircare needs. Her salon is appointment only, which really allows her one on one time with her clients. We are excited for her as she moves to a new location on Dayton Boulevard soon.

Mini Sessions

Last month we had one Saturday and offered $1 mini sessions at Heritage Park in East Brainerd. We wanted to allow customers the chance to book a session with a $99 discount. We were rather pleased with the turn out that day.

Baby Brynlee

When I heard that one of the children who attended the same daycare as my son had been diagnosed with a serious genetic illness, I started looking for ways to help.

Brynlee was diagnosed with mucopolysaccharidosis type 1, commonly referred to as Hurler syndrome. It is a very severe genetic disorder and requires many costly, painful procedures in order to treat it, including a bone marrow transplant. Brynlee is doing well so far, and we will be praying that the treatments are successful.

It turned out that in the chaos of dealing with the diagnosis, they hadn't thought to have any family portraits made. It was a tremendous honor to be able to meet the Thompson family and to create some beautiful memories for them.

Friends of the family have been organizing a variety of fundraisers to help cover the cost of the treatments. If you would like more information, you can visit their page on Facebook. More photos from the session are available on Facebook.

A Very Special Post

We were so excited to finally welcome Baby Willow to the world. Misty is one of our nearest and dearest friends, and this little girl holds a very special place in our hearts. We were able to do some maternity pics before Willow made her debut.

Leah hosted Misty's baby shower earlier this year, and it had a ladybug theme. We had this hat made by Essie Bruell for Willow to carry on that theme.

Misty, Alex, and Deacon, Willow is so lucky to be born into such an amazing, loving family. She is the luckiest little girl we know. We love your family and consider ourselves lucky to be a part of Deacon and Willow's lives.

Fourth of July (A Day Early)

We traveled to Cleveland last night to celebrate and cookout with our clients, Dan and Jennifer Lugo.

The boys had a great time swimming.

Isaac had his first experience with fireworks (other than going to see them). Mommy was a nervous wreck the whole time!!!

Danny had a blast too! (no pun intended)

Thank you, Dan and Jennifer, we had a great time!

We hope everyone takes the time to remember why we celebrate this day every year, and take time to think about the men and women who have given their lives so that we have this freedom. We also pause to give thanks to the men and women who are currently serving our country, and their families.

 

The rest of the pics are on Flickr.
