That's right - I'm moving my blog over to my domain!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.shelleyedwards.com/blog">www.shelleyedwards.com/blog</a><br /><br />RIP Blogger - 08/31/08Shelley Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428553099783668465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25572416.post-82169149267382827912008-08-23T17:12:00.002-05:002008-08-23T17:22:04.624-05:00Gone Green!!!<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I've been a bad blogger this past summer. Let me bring you up to speed....</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The house flooded - see prior posts. We've finally got our house back in order - new carpet, new wood floors, new paint, and I'm almost done putting everything back where it goes. The joys of packing up like your moving - but not moving is fun - NOT!!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The summer has been so hot - so I'm thankful that clients have understood and allowed me to schedule their sessions in September and October. Let me tell ya - I'm ready to get past this heat!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">As the title says - I've GONE GREEN! Since I had some downtime this summer, I've evalutated my time commitments - to my family - to my full-time job - and to my photography clients. I need a balanced life and have decided to scrap my other portrait collections and introduce a digital collection - The Edwards Collection. I'm so excited.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The Edwards Collection is completely digital and includes a media disc of high-resolution digital images (both color & black and white) from the portrait session with authorization for unlimited personal use. Low-resolution images, which are perfect for web and email), are also included. Of course, I'm well known for my signature linen finish on all portraits - don't worry people - The Edwards Collection offers a 25% discount on ala carte prints and other products. Of course, you know me, I'll throw in a few suprises here and there!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">I've been hard at work designing new holiday cards too - as well as new albums for family sessions, senior sessions, and weddings too! Keep checking in - I'm ramping up for another 30 day blog challenge soon!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span>Shelley Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428553099783668465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25572416.post-27929771518664457092008-07-17T23:10:00.002-05:002008-12-10T11:39:08.338-06:00Why So Serious?That's one of the taglines from the new Batman movie. My son was 4 yo when the VERY first Batman movie (the one with Michael Keaton) first came out - it was also the VERY first movie I ever took him to see. He was SO excited when they resurrected the movie franchise. Personally, I am more fond of Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne!!!<br /><br />Anyway - my son and his friend came just a short while ago to pick something up and would be on their way. I could hear my daughter laughing hysterically and naturally, I had to investigate. I guess you will be able to tell by the snapshots that my son and his friend are VERY eager to go to the midnight showing tonight!<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFD3zgOiRnxAkJG_aIP3sB_TjJPcaPoVsIspH_MbYsWifVuKZTIHtpWo8oIdVtsMDNdEdZI6duikV5IWWWNvuNVvKQUEji_EUZBEn-CFQlsYlFVWovrSLYdHivwYKrvg2x8mwvEA/s1600-h/275.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224202916670344610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFD3zgOiRnxAkJG_aIP3sB_TjJPcaPoVsIspH_MbYsWifVuKZTIHtpWo8oIdVtsMDNdEdZI6duikV5IWWWNvuNVvKQUEji_EUZBEn-CFQlsYlFVWovrSLYdHivwYKrvg2x8mwvEA/s320/275.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGkTjRBuqSjl2NQv0CNgtS31QpCLQUUWJQowctP-ZBmh2zTMl_vBf41BuIrxIBy8DLirQ9D0Oakl5tq15xfQ8PH-HHodugkRSH3y_J3e8SMpRd2RXT3LBRY1u6JhoWw6tySgZalA/s1600-h/276.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224202921592002546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGkTjRBuqSjl2NQv0CNgtS31QpCLQUUWJQowctP-ZBmh2zTMl_vBf41BuIrxIBy8DLirQ9D0Oakl5tq15xfQ8PH-HHodugkRSH3y_J3e8SMpRd2RXT3LBRY1u6JhoWw6tySgZalA/s320/276.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTYhCL8GdWP-Gil1pmwXW8dxX5LDo5apLOXGD-qJAJAouboPCx2Vjje-kqHNT2ahyhbUuAEnt7JiHdjPqGGrVkfCfYWxgt2FjlHIUrgnhtQF9PjlPdeuHogPSMQ7BhvC_LtRKqmQ/s1600-h/273.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224202919356029122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTYhCL8GdWP-Gil1pmwXW8dxX5LDo5apLOXGD-qJAJAouboPCx2Vjje-kqHNT2ahyhbUuAEnt7JiHdjPqGGrVkfCfYWxgt2FjlHIUrgnhtQF9PjlPdeuHogPSMQ7BhvC_LtRKqmQ/s320/273.jpg" border="0" /></a> Have fun guys!

THE HOUSE IS FLOODING!<div>So, that's the text message I received on Monday from my son. THANK GOODNESS he was home!!!!! He woke up to the sound of someone running the shower, however, he was the only one home so he got up to investigate. He put is foot down and felt the "squish" - the carpeting in his room was soaked! He went to the bathroom and saw the flood - it was coming from behind the toilet - water spraying everywhere. The hall way was soaked. The entrance of my office was soaked. The bathroom had a few inches of water. He managed to get the water turned off and went downstairs - where water was gushing from the vents in our kitchen - water EVERYWHERE! It was on the kitchen floor, the dining room floor, the living room floor and even in our pantry! OMG - it's the great flood of 2008!<br /><br />I called my friend Erika Herman because she owns Cornerstone ChemDry - she sent over a crew to help me with the water extraction - she saved the day!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg69vv_pLifmWuVhQF4fr62UnrZN9bIauSr1AgaYRJz0jDkvhJSCin_L5_XIS_xD_o3lPp6zdN3fv9kFWW6cWnbAZYWk840C3F9f91YyGNTT84ZP8n3ru_7rK6JyR8ewSj-NqS7yw/s1600-h/030.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg69vv_pLifmWuVhQF4fr62UnrZN9bIauSr1AgaYRJz0jDkvhJSCin_L5_XIS_xD_o3lPp6zdN3fv9kFWW6cWnbAZYWk840C3F9f91YyGNTT84ZP8n3ru_7rK6JyR8ewSj-NqS7yw/s320/030.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The ceiling in my kitchen area<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPGLPhNGhwUV5wZaQ_NURiPAipD3hKqCVyyGc0ZkMdqNVK3lv1eLWyYIt7qWD0_tp6dK9inid6h4lKDGaQtbp6RGkNxRQ5lyn_CXYGwDH0xQdpHlBe-NB8TPhzjS-_OG0Wi7meWg/s1600-h/042.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPGLPhNGhwUV5wZaQ_NURiPAipD3hKqCVyyGc0ZkMdqNVK3lv1eLWyYIt7qWD0_tp6dK9inid6h4lKDGaQtbp6RGkNxRQ5lyn_CXYGwDH0xQdpHlBe-NB8TPhzjS-_OG0Wi7meWg/s320/042.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Daniel used our large trash cans to capture the water rushing from the vents.

I told him that he could - IF - he sold the boat and IF we could get a pool. I figured he wouldn't go for it - he loves the boat so much. Imagine my suprise when he came home with a Harley & started cleaning up the boat. So, looks like we'll be getting a pool! We decided to wait until his truck is paid off - which will be soon. Anyway - here are some snapshots of the boat.

A few weeks ago - I had the absolute honor to photograph the wedding of Kim Viguers and John Groschke. They're such a cute cute couple and are so stinking fun to be around. Weddings usually take me every bit of 4 to 6 weeks to do the processing. I created a slide show for them last weekend because they were just so anxious to see some of the images. It was just a quick draft slideshow, but I knew it would make her mother cry buckets! She called and reported to me that indeed - she did!<br /><br />Anyway - about the couple. They met at Stephen F. Austin and now live in Houston, Texas. Some fun facts about the couple.....<br /><br /><ul><li>John tore his ACL over Christmas vacation.....it was touch and go if he'd be able to walk at the wedding!</li><br /><li>Judy, the mom, created & planned Kim's wedding since she was back in Houston taking care of John!</li><li>Mark, on of Kim's dads, had surgery about a month before the wedding, and had more surgery scheduled a week or so later!</li><li>I sprained my ankle the Tuesday before the wedding & didn't tell anyone - I was too afraid to freak out Judy! I had to deliver some adorable 3x3 mini-albums for the guests & walked in pain so she wouldn't notice.</li><li>My 2nd Shooter, Rich, is an amature storm chaser - he had the weather radar on in the back room - if he saw movement - he would have been "otta there"</li></ul><p>The weather was fantastic (sorry Richie) - since it was outdoors everyone feared rain - we felt minor sprinkles and then everything just fell into place.<br /></p><br /><br /><p>The first 3 pictures you see are so very special - they are actual captures of when John and Kim saw each other for the first time - makes me cry just to see Kim's expression!</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCn-TdCn40inoDkZxBKe4y7ZLfk6Z4zC86Q0pfHRVv0qygo3ULz_ahhY_O_RXTh6m5lh4b4Qw-VnA51Zb-wtWdf7fJTvJx9ZVtDhg8rXSTp8ldHqf4K5LLMgeSehyMb1Y7mXGBUw/s1600-h/EarlyMoments_100.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192961135453808802" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCn-TdCn40inoDkZxBKe4y7ZLfk6Z4zC86Q0pfHRVv0qygo3ULz_ahhY_O_RXTh6m5lh4b4Qw-VnA51Zb-wtWdf7fJTvJx9ZVtDhg8rXSTp8ldHqf4K5LLMgeSehyMb1Y7mXGBUw/s320/EarlyMoments_100.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeObdje8rpJFf6NSRH_6F9Nt43mAosxKDYnV8iLrLDPOzl4_vJ5yBapbTSkYi2M-P0ka5Ci3EX0jD_87sf0s27XAdv0iQkCYrnxYbxzgjPb1bpo-8QukOoljR6_FJ9SP8PAmJIWg/s1600-h/EarlyMoments_101.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192961139748776114" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeObdje8rpJFf6NSRH_6F9Nt43mAosxKDYnV8iLrLDPOzl4_vJ5yBapbTSkYi2M-P0ka5Ci3EX0jD_87sf0s27XAdv0iQkCYrnxYbxzgjPb1bpo-8QukOoljR6_FJ9SP8PAmJIWg/s320/EarlyMoments_101.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4B0k94Dl964nzDz2Pv08NBJZN3TazY4Rpy8FClE0lReLPwS7ssV0wTLfCDpB0cTcN8wKOTwbhnyXXGghd2aQbzM3IMVd5pnKk3NMiWB-IeaEVx-LuOV0gXI2cpJP28DfUtgIQFA/s1600-h/EarlyMoments_105.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192961144043743426" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4B0k94Dl964nzDz2Pv08NBJZN3TazY4Rpy8FClE0lReLPwS7ssV0wTLfCDpB0cTcN8wKOTwbhnyXXGghd2aQbzM3IMVd5pnKk3NMiWB-IeaEVx-LuOV0gXI2cpJP28DfUtgIQFA/s320/EarlyMoments_105.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><br /><br /><p>Such a BEE-YOU-TEE-FUL Bride!!!

A natural beauty - that's for sure. We had a great time at the Dallas Aboretum - as always - so many places to check out. I was a bit worried at first because it was also Dallas Blooms - which is always so busy! However, the weather worked with us. It was overcast and windy - but we worked with it and got some nice imags! Right when we finished - the sun came out and so did the people! Finished in the nick of time!<br /><br />Congratulations Jessica - one of my 2008 Seniors!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZWHZMTxrDBTzcuGrqDHGKquvEwbdS_rbhJyhKFbNkEMwzGEqSJdHGRIrEiuSO-9Q0oSaFt-Dh0ikFIWhMeDsanKqJnxdPZD0orpg0TIXpd6BuG4DiJWlk7Xc6M_dJR8aPXVPaVg/s1600-h/JB_013.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191318309494660306" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZWHZMTxrDBTzcuGrqDHGKquvEwbdS_rbhJyhKFbNkEMwzGEqSJdHGRIrEiuSO-9Q0oSaFt-Dh0ikFIWhMeDsanKqJnxdPZD0orpg0TIXpd6BuG4DiJWlk7Xc6M_dJR8aPXVPaVg/s320/JB_013.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid5jtucx_aK_3bMTInvjVfvYxvU5soDtuyh-vcpr8o1X_RMKEFYyOwURMmR4ujNfRO90gqZeX6FdYUueKjab6DDrUnhfgklKJT4UKSzIJejCm4olUuQTbuLU9xcjEkQ9mo2RO-Cw/s1600-h/JB_025.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191318322379562210" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid5jtucx_aK_3bMTInvjVfvYxvU5soDtuyh-vcpr8o1X_RMKEFYyOwURMmR4ujNfRO90gqZeX6FdYUueKjab6DDrUnhfgklKJT4UKSzIJejCm4olUuQTbuLU9xcjEkQ9mo2RO-Cw/s320/JB_025.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxQZqRqXoRKawlBUiNf5wLIUZoLZ5_9lZqz_TCgWcH7MsC15E6fFYLDT0qlmGNd5Qb_dCvgHMfyus5ShYte46WrYc7sMqouCdXYUbzfm2jDN1azJFcFMZbmX3a-cg-BKIQtABhtw/s1600-h/JB_033.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5191318322379562226" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxQZqRqXoRKawlBUiNf5wLIUZoLZ5_9lZqz_TCgWcH7MsC15E6fFYLDT0qlmGNd5Qb_dCvgHMfyus5ShYte46WrYc7sMqouCdXYUbzfm2jDN1azJFcFMZbmX3a-cg-BKIQtABhtw/s320/JB_033.jpg" border="0" /></a>Shelley Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428553099783668465noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25572416.post-27217244335578708612008-04-17T22:37:00.004-05:002008-12-10T11:39:18.947-06:00Meet Heather<p>Meet Heather – a spunky and adorable 2008 Senior! The azaleas were in FULL BLOOM on our visit to Prather Park. Oh my – the colors just POPPED! I think we spent a little over an hour at the park – there were just so many fun places to go. We walked – took some shots – then walked some more – took some shots – etc! There just isn't too many spots at Prather Park that are bad. We ventured over to the other side of the park, and were just awestruck over the azaleas on one of the "fancy" house's gates. So – you know me – we took a few shots and RAN! Ok, we really didn't run – but we did do those shots quickly. Once we got to the other side of the park, I surprised Heather – we took some more shots on one of my favorite ledges. I didn't tell her how high up it was. She was a great sport and we worked with it.<br /></p><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTI_le1-HgGACPfwb5U8ggR2AZyoNYlsBQqSc7MwGAvG0gKn60N0zJ-UHoOUu3ApOwtwmdFXr90tIVSzUUX4JCqBz62WtVu7cOurmYvoFG8mjdunDGHlHt_1Nn72LdQ8bN8KomVw/s1600-h/HS_017_web.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190796175961525618" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTI_le1-HgGACPfwb5U8ggR2AZyoNYlsBQqSc7MwGAvG0gKn60N0zJ-UHoOUu3ApOwtwmdFXr90tIVSzUUX4JCqBz62WtVu7cOurmYvoFG8mjdunDGHlHt_1Nn72LdQ8bN8KomVw/s320/HS_017_web.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9RNYYEoVJMMzgcEviNq2T2f56OwfZU3y6QNNBxDML977k-7Arl5f5ATljt_bX-w4yrZaJ9_REkXZjPkPAeWMN6vNCUHBQGd18ykEuYUNP5sKwB8hffse522DmuClX1sqaqcPErQ/s1600-h/HS_027_web.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190796180256492930" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9RNYYEoVJMMzgcEviNq2T2f56OwfZU3y6QNNBxDML977k-7Arl5f5ATljt_bX-w4yrZaJ9_REkXZjPkPAeWMN6vNCUHBQGd18ykEuYUNP5sKwB8hffse522DmuClX1sqaqcPErQ/s320/HS_027_web.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJsEvYVMqwfm-AOL14fBMEoLwheY4yoNjXfCULRgkDVmroOGbeEkAx1Z71NC4tvYonkevkWQQreUIh5npl1J6BDS0-RDVppM60oWbdhp8OsoCPzB1469dycLeAJ8b8k_is_dTSww/s1600-h/HS_059_web.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190796184551460242" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJsEvYVMqwfm-AOL14fBMEoLwheY4yoNjXfCULRgkDVmroOGbeEkAx1Z71NC4tvYonkevkWQQreUIh5npl1J6BDS0-RDVppM60oWbdhp8OsoCPzB1469dycLeAJ8b8k_is_dTSww/s320/HS_059_web.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcbD_1dv3aDf0H9CrAd8xWuAgqd90eGoFnymiTn-E8eryiKs870XCpZRqCetF4EHmY_7Rcb_wfygA19jDWuTw4K6m0LpyqSVRed640_haO0Knl07akeq2EL11Io3GH2Sm-8CtdoQ/s1600-h/HS_075_web.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190796188846427554" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcbD_1dv3aDf0H9CrAd8xWuAgqd90eGoFnymiTn-E8eryiKs870XCpZRqCetF4EHmY_7Rcb_wfygA19jDWuTw4K6m0LpyqSVRed640_haO0Knl07akeq2EL11Io3GH2Sm-8CtdoQ/s320/HS_075_web.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYULHymefWsY1NHRt42P6v23fbq5Hv5jpQ0z045ElbI4DD2JyyUvSgnMJn9kKE5qbNuTo1j0RRPyHGl-xAQxQGfb5RODfiwYuLdITRZiEfQY8PM8H7UrqAJiDiBfD9OE8F7q1oBg/s1600-h/HS_113_web.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190796193141394866" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYULHymefWsY1NHRt42P6v23fbq5Hv5jpQ0z045ElbI4DD2JyyUvSgnMJn9kKE5qbNuTo1j0RRPyHGl-xAQxQGfb5RODfiwYuLdITRZiEfQY8PM8H7UrqAJiDiBfD9OE8F7q1oBg/s320/HS_113_web.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></p><div><span xmlns=""><br /><p><br /> </p><br /><p></span></p></div>Shelley Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428553099783668465noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25572416.post-47541043885055864072008-03-17T20:32:00.002-05:002008-12-10T11:39:20.222-06:00HOOAH<p>Meet Daniel – he is my handsome 21-yo son (and single) – works full time and also goes to school. This past weekend, I did a mini-shoot for him. He's going to be in a national magazine for Airsoft. What's Airsoft? It's like Paintball – but with soft BBs. Don't let the images fool ya – he's a sweetie. For those of you that do not know, Daniel was born without a tibia in his left leg. We're not too sure what happened, but God blessed us with him. When he was about 1 yo – he had his leg amputated at the knee. He was a patient of Scottish Rite until he turned 18yo. His disability did NOT hold him back. As a child – he played peewee football for the Vikings (his team was City Champs!) and he also played baseball. He swam, road his bicycle, and even had a mini-bike. During high school, Daniel rose in the ranks at the ROTC for Mesquite High School – even became the lead cadet of all MISD. Pretty impressive huh? Anyway, the magazine decided to feature a story about Daniel and we needed some good shots. Can you believe it? I haven't taken any professional pictures of my son in quite a long time!<br /></p><br /><p>Here are a few!</p><p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS5tJgmTtO3lCO5J9SYvQH7eYgToPjdAPj5ErJlAH7Y00za5G5TumqqhyphenhyphenVvhcxUJG8Ssaa2H_cDrxSLE2ALXhT5NZuSj5VOmh-B6e-5ZBl8OPzoEfYHGuMkp6DBXgmbeHcKC9OhA/s1600-h/Daniel_04+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178889744035043026" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS5tJgmTtO3lCO5J9SYvQH7eYgToPjdAPj5ErJlAH7Y00za5G5TumqqhyphenhyphenVvhcxUJG8Ssaa2H_cDrxSLE2ALXhT5NZuSj5VOmh-B6e-5ZBl8OPzoEfYHGuMkp6DBXgmbeHcKC9OhA/s320/Daniel_04+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb8bs2ZjDRKoX5niBKWeRpSYRLmZU_u6XZYLfi4ebICG0bevhOy8TophzxvczNafdVaVaacdBB9FhvyaYe7zShe2txkVkw9qFx4CdpN_FZUyzrarRpiuw8kXjpYRIYbxBoSWq8Aw/s1600-h/Daniel_38.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178889748330010338" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb8bs2ZjDRKoX5niBKWeRpSYRLmZU_u6XZYLfi4ebICG0bevhOy8TophzxvczNafdVaVaacdBB9FhvyaYe7zShe2txkVkw9qFx4CdpN_FZUyzrarRpiuw8kXjpYRIYbxBoSWq8Aw/s320/Daniel_38.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcfIqPnj23Wcz_XutW2pgzT9VEh0Y_wjRMfGTwU3IuKKdg_6cITYx5OoENVc8eyRgQjIAtlzQHzjjLXCSaPbfSO0mhM2TCGaZ9-vNo0gTCYwedw83AP73Jv6N9-JoJxYzHAlT3sw/s1600-h/Daniel_21.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178889748330010354" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcfIqPnj23Wcz_XutW2pgzT9VEh0Y_wjRMfGTwU3IuKKdg_6cITYx5OoENVc8eyRgQjIAtlzQHzjjLXCSaPbfSO0mhM2TCGaZ9-vNo0gTCYwedw83AP73Jv6N9-JoJxYzHAlT3sw/s320/Daniel_21.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicuQVPQtWq_H86FSOrpyWjalYakN2MdHy5b4sXvSejC07CGwxdHTvQbYVzaBfkTbUJDIVKscSPsvQRsIDT65t972xZRt7kvgr4sUrxoWpxM80zsl0-P5SJFsDcWqvq_GgrU0R5jA/s1600-h/Daniel_34.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178889752624977666" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicuQVPQtWq_H86FSOrpyWjalYakN2MdHy5b4sXvSejC07CGwxdHTvQbYVzaBfkTbUJDIVKscSPsvQRsIDT65t972xZRt7kvgr4sUrxoWpxM80zsl0-P5SJFsDcWqvq_GgrU0R5jA/s320/Daniel_34.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpLfni8lIsNURGR7Wk93s9g7qfGab-e102XDn3PDW-_r1iKYexjuJDAH8t8PHfhoKB09Hft-X-Ddpa_63lHGgShy1AUoukpOYGpHg6rLTfcEPesHq6531iCeD2UuaWfZWOdtIF3g/s1600-h/Daniel_46+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178889756919944978" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpLfni8lIsNURGR7Wk93s9g7qfGab-e102XDn3PDW-_r1iKYexjuJDAH8t8PHfhoKB09Hft-X-Ddpa_63lHGgShy1AUoukpOYGpHg6rLTfcEPesHq6531iCeD2UuaWfZWOdtIF3g/s320/Daniel_46+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span xmlns="">(silly dad & son)</p></span>Shelley Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428553099783668465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25572416.post-24500503615878156652008-03-12T21:07:00.005-05:002008-12-10T11:39:20.479-06:00Sabbatical is over!As most of you know - I normally take the winter months off. It's been nice to have the time off, but now I'm ready to get busy!<br /><br />My family and I had a wonderful Christmas. It was cold - but nice never-the-less.<br /><br />I had great intentions to send out Christmas cards - but that never happened. Then I had a great idea to send out Happy New Year cards again this year, but never got around to mailing them out. Truth be told - I ordered them and then forgot about them. I put them up in my office and then lost track of them when I reorganized. I found them the other day and thought it was just too late to send out. I ended up throwing them away.<br /><br />Here's what they looked like -<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn7coOi7_ZAzdk19FEphASDkXWyRvj42t1DFCT0yDQRUZDotgiT1A5uA8tr5DFD4JWh5mGKKHSbKl7Y2gbCMv4D0ibjRm_V0gc00758_1PSItw-eUhnrU2VvTG00tFjBrz8W0FUQ/s1600-h/HNY2008.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177044875192784562" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn7coOi7_ZAzdk19FEphASDkXWyRvj42t1DFCT0yDQRUZDotgiT1A5uA8tr5DFD4JWh5mGKKHSbKl7Y2gbCMv4D0ibjRm_V0gc00758_1PSItw-eUhnrU2VvTG00tFjBrz8W0FUQ/s320/HNY2008.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Just a word of caution - Daniel is helping me again this year. He's officially my intern (aka free labor). He's almost through with this Graphic's Art degree and I can't wait to see what he comes up with this year. He's designing new ANNOUNCEMENTS (GRADS, BABY, WEDDING, ETC) as well as new business cards. I'm in dire need of new cards. I've been using the same design for such a long time and I really need to update.<br /><br />Daniel will also be updating my blog and myspace pages. We had a great contest last year, and we plan on doing it again. The contest was "Blog for 30 days" - and I'm tasking Daniel with that. Ha - it was hard enough for me to do it - we'll see how he does.<br /><br />I know I said I was on "sabbatical", but I did manage to do a few sessions. In January, I went to Terrell and photographed about 125 kids in the Upwards Basketball program. I do that every year and it's so much fun. I just love those kids - watching them grow. I also did a few bridal sessions as well as a new baby! You know how I love new babies!!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgASUJuOJ_Ta-9mSOVQrYHIjAy0-jb-s1D0ZFz7gx33TAYUW381rb1FXbrQGAlm9lbj15Asyo9QX6nLB3Moik1Ft9QFfVk6iVdOCpYyNnQh6UelrvGOFXxvT7SSvNV5relK6zDhPA/s1600-h/Sade01.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177047447878194882" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgASUJuOJ_Ta-9mSOVQrYHIjAy0-jb-s1D0ZFz7gx33TAYUW381rb1FXbrQGAlm9lbj15Asyo9QX6nLB3Moik1Ft9QFfVk6iVdOCpYyNnQh6UelrvGOFXxvT7SSvNV5relK6zDhPA/s320/Sade01.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I would share the bridals - but I can't - not until they're married!<br /><br />This weekend, I'm shooting Daniel. He's going to be in a magazine for Air Soft. I'll let him post the details. I'm also shooting a cute couple - enagement session - oooooh - that one is close to my heart too. It's my little brother!Shelley Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428553099783668465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25572416.post-8798633012816399702007-12-27T13:06:00.000-06:002007-12-27T13:13:24.736-06:00HAPPY HOLIDAYSOh my oh my - time as flown. What a whirlwind this year has been!!!<br /><br />I've been pretty busy with my new "day" job, and things have been somewhat quiet in photography land. I'm taking this time to renew and revamp 2008 marketing. I've also decided to explore my homeland - yes, my homeland. For those of you that don't know - I'm a native Texan. I've decided that I'm going to find Texas Culture - THE REAL TEXAS. I've even created a new blog - <a href="http://www.realtexas.blogspot.com/">http://www.realtexas.blogspot.com/</a> - not much on it yet. I'm mapping out locations and timing this week. I have many fun things planned.<br /><br />As many of you know - I usually take the winter months off - however, I do have the Terrell, Texas, annual baseketball league shoot coming up. Those kids are just too fun!!! Oh, and of course, I'm always available for new babies!!!Shelley Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428553099783668465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25572416.post-59535640501507773612007-11-28T22:30:00.000-06:002008-12-10T11:39:21.550-06:00Lighting WorkshopHi - it's been a bit since I last updated. This month has been CrAzY - it was my 23rd anniversary. I'm still "head over heals" in LOVE with my husband. He's my best friend and makes the BEST cream gravy in the world. My little girl also celebrated her 9th birthday, and of course, there was Thanksgiving. Wow - so much going on. I managed to fit in a workshop on lighting. Let me just say - I am thrilled with all I learned. I cannot wait to apply the new techniques I learned to future brides, seniors, and anyone who'll get in front of my camera!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj15c9hU0jOiho6mSCxZZ0GhZ-BHtbR56NVo-ck0djeLoKUhXSjlQVX8r8Y1uTcfkNkVrjsFPMN0VeVQBvPgGv31HKBayO0X69_zdA2a7JGpY-Q722MePdHWxZeUGvFA7wzMF5ceA/s1600-h/TRI_6662.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138116755472886818" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj15c9hU0jOiho6mSCxZZ0GhZ-BHtbR56NVo-ck0djeLoKUhXSjlQVX8r8Y1uTcfkNkVrjsFPMN0VeVQBvPgGv31HKBayO0X69_zdA2a7JGpY-Q722MePdHWxZeUGvFA7wzMF5ceA/s320/TRI_6662.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV5X_2-T66-0h6SyIuuBKg8Zy-zNL9Eds9gQaQgNBMBivrpNIhUNoDaoz4mcTLJsr6N0mCVMq4GGcyEJ8I4vUAQZ9lRZpl7ZBi2AuDoJC2V0162G53tlB2_LEplYP4SLkuAPy1yg/s1600-h/TRI_6685.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138116759767854130" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV5X_2-T66-0h6SyIuuBKg8Zy-zNL9Eds9gQaQgNBMBivrpNIhUNoDaoz4mcTLJsr6N0mCVMq4GGcyEJ8I4vUAQZ9lRZpl7ZBi2AuDoJC2V0162G53tlB2_LEplYP4SLkuAPy1yg/s320/TRI_6685.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZABIc-TVvK5_zHtmAedcHUiErdyH9yZ9-bWH6HY3MBdKW8eMNrCaYkui97MmSwQsAWicuUvRh7EfUhZzKouKTUB_5FvnwcArRu7cp5c6HdxG8NyaHM22L4o9_0Qw1FfW_6xFe6Q/s1600-h/TRI_6707.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138116764062821442" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZABIc-TVvK5_zHtmAedcHUiErdyH9yZ9-bWH6HY3MBdKW8eMNrCaYkui97MmSwQsAWicuUvRh7EfUhZzKouKTUB_5FvnwcArRu7cp5c6HdxG8NyaHM22L4o9_0Qw1FfW_6xFe6Q/s320/TRI_6707.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCRX1Ie2x4tYZL0tdaQ9Y00zi1oPmWvgGY1PPiMwpX2C69drlEH_XkbwPTOE8dLGrve6wYR40n1HZE_12LHEsrhqtvNe9OfGZkw8nc-YqndJYoK4oy7O1zbpAEOOgCnFG7rhoLjg/s1600-h/TRI_6735.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138116764062821458" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCRX1Ie2x4tYZL0tdaQ9Y00zi1oPmWvgGY1PPiMwpX2C69drlEH_XkbwPTOE8dLGrve6wYR40n1HZE_12LHEsrhqtvNe9OfGZkw8nc-YqndJYoK4oy7O1zbpAEOOgCnFG7rhoLjg/s320/TRI_6735.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxZYVkPK2PKXoL79W9diz8WilwdMhfsgDJ-hL_sPQ-kSC-IFae50JA-j-2o-_4kcAfw8yvLylulxe9-Dv3h0W5Tp90tkeOQk3o0l9nPfRlQgJkOwbEBk6tCGvKwUH7T3N5ERWKg/s1600-h/TRI_6739.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138116768357788770" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxZYVkPK2PKXoL79W9diz8WilwdMhfsgDJ-hL_sPQ-kSC-IFae50JA-j-2o-_4kcAfw8yvLylulxe9-Dv3h0W5Tp90tkeOQk3o0l9nPfRlQgJkOwbEBk6tCGvKwUH7T3N5ERWKg/s320/TRI_6739.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl2BSwUWmsXHUYDBU9vwNQV07KXrGSPj7PR7m4RXqZ0QRLUuCtV5e43J9jingbH1HC5aLCrcA4hyphenhyphenBs4lqz7SkK3L_DAF7eI8ZgaTVcgLOujLswAaSnEE4KSznE97h3BF2jgFlbIw/s1600-h/TRI_6739+bw.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5138116854257134706" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl2BSwUWmsXHUYDBU9vwNQV07KXrGSPj7PR7m4RXqZ0QRLUuCtV5e43J9jingbH1HC5aLCrcA4hyphenhyphenBs4lqz7SkK3L_DAF7eI8ZgaTVcgLOujLswAaSnEE4KSznE97h3BF2jgFlbIw/s320/TRI_6739+bw.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Location - The Cotton Mill in McKinney, Texas. I wish it were just a bit closer because I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do more sessions out there. The place was an old Cotton Mill - renovated of course.

I went to Bre's Volleyball game a few weeks ago, and took some pictures for fun. Can you believe this - I forgot all about them! Anyway - over the weekend I played around with the images - took over 150! These girls are awesome. They really know how to work together as a team and my goodness - they sure can hit that ball. Here are just a few fun shots of the game!<br /><a

Folks!<div>Yesterday, my family and I spent the day at the State Fair of Texas. O-M-G - there were so many people there. We got there early in the morning - ok - around noon, and first thing was first - we had to have the famous Corny Dog. YUMMY!!! We sat just outside the Cotton Bowl and enjoyed our manditory treat. Of course, we spent most of the day (and money) on food. Funnel cakes, cotton candy, turkey legs, ice cream, etc. We filled up on junk food.</div><br /><div>We didn't ride any rides out there or play any of the games on the Midway - it just isn't out thing. I don't trust the rides OR the carney's out there. I'm sure they're regulated and what not - but it's better to go with your instinct - and our instincts tell us not to throw our money away, Never the less - we do enjoy walking through the Midway. After yesterday, I don't think I want to anymore. O-M-G - there were so many people, strollers, and those carts - they added to the traffic and kept rolling over my feet! Note to self - don't wear cute flip flops to the fair.</div><br /><div>I took my little "point and shoot" camera with me so that I could scrap about our day of fun later - and of course - blog for those to see.</div><div> </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMejXtKKpuAeGLSoStzlezuhbgfSc-MI59pRtVW2WOc3nowiOYMnkECeunFsamyojnjVj7QMF_ZqsZsPdHiZdfYT4xFiYY3NmILCO1o3qsuiP4Pnn7pyfDncI6S_iBoGXMG3DeIA/s1600-h/IMG_0191.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121259816799031042" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMejXtKKpuAeGLSoStzlezuhbgfSc-MI59pRtVW2WOc3nowiOYMnkECeunFsamyojnjVj7QMF_ZqsZsPdHiZdfYT4xFiYY3NmILCO1o3qsuiP4Pnn7pyfDncI6S_iBoGXMG3DeIA/s320/IMG_0191.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7YnOR3MMPFH3zRjtq_9BPH3ZfUPLcpGeOkCJO-WjCL-wRxN0NGg5YjtAv13igyGfDNRzaoy94D3rcH7L_A7kPv1pPTTpevVz9qORluS1JYGNyhucRAvTn7kt6B31FPLpK6mnjig/s1600-h/IMG_0208.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121259821093998354" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7YnOR3MMPFH3zRjtq_9BPH3ZfUPLcpGeOkCJO-WjCL-wRxN0NGg5YjtAv13igyGfDNRzaoy94D3rcH7L_A7kPv1pPTTpevVz9qORluS1JYGNyhucRAvTn7kt6B31FPLpK6mnjig/s320/IMG_0208.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixqx_1tFBx8x9EGQWgYNaGMDSbmYRo53dVnPv4H3oyWqdv74pS-qFeSVheCHCVWqElsgNLWxfISruhCxFmtmXdbCdDzhaY-nPgjfzRXSxHQKlaFw1yEyBVWXQEyRkEnwsZlbhs_Q/s1600-h/IMG_0210.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121258068747341506" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixqx_1tFBx8x9EGQWgYNaGMDSbmYRo53dVnPv4H3oyWqdv74pS-qFeSVheCHCVWqElsgNLWxfISruhCxFmtmXdbCdDzhaY-nPgjfzRXSxHQKlaFw1yEyBVWXQEyRkEnwsZlbhs_Q/s320/IMG_0210.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCXaj3Rx38O7WQXfKqFt5xYL96N-7RRITqZxFr4SuZebJmmpGc92a3fLL-OPPxQsyI4KWsQ6w7PMUiCSig_9POmkP5AgNoHIz-18X5H2_GldInWvelzyoCgOq7TJ6PzPhMwy8UDw/s1600-h/IMG_0234.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121258085927210706" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCXaj3Rx38O7WQXfKqFt5xYL96N-7RRITqZxFr4SuZebJmmpGc92a3fLL-OPPxQsyI4KWsQ6w7PMUiCSig_9POmkP5AgNoHIz-18X5H2_GldInWvelzyoCgOq7TJ6PzPhMwy8UDw/s320/IMG_0234.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW31MLxfxkkVxO56dS7kgSYFoQGPPj_-uSTRCKx3sZdea7pBgC8YMJQ33GUxksiewyZ9bjdhK1JhMyYJWbreD_Lo9YSzxncHHO4S8LSbxIvGmYwgDMRgIkBlfQmSoBSFgXJfkbSQ/s1600-h/IMG_0253.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121258090222178018" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW31MLxfxkkVxO56dS7kgSYFoQGPPj_-uSTRCKx3sZdea7pBgC8YMJQ33GUxksiewyZ9bjdhK1JhMyYJWbreD_Lo9YSzxncHHO4S8LSbxIvGmYwgDMRgIkBlfQmSoBSFgXJfkbSQ/s320/IMG_0253.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrPeDYPked-8Ve2xaYjrewFDzvKqdnodVwNZp2egXyfmKR9_exYNQrOCaHuj4gXERe9__MxsZTZ5c15axlvoHy1UozPBwkXwDXCFxfN9AeOs4spgMboZ98_t-rWOT6lUNmmkA4NA/s1600-h/IMG_0263.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121258171826556658" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrPeDYPked-8Ve2xaYjrewFDzvKqdnodVwNZp2egXyfmKR9_exYNQrOCaHuj4gXERe9__MxsZTZ5c15axlvoHy1UozPBwkXwDXCFxfN9AeOs4spgMboZ98_t-rWOT6lUNmmkA4NA/s320/IMG_0263.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div>Shelley Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428553099783668465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25572416.post-13487712564993219952007-10-10T22:10:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:39:25.349-06:00I just LOVE Babies!!!<div>I just love babies - everything about them.

There for awhile I was posting daily, and then - zippo! nadda! Well, to catch you up - I got a new full-time job a few weeks ago. The sister company of the company that laid me off hired me. So, I've been super busy with that. I'm trying to wrap my arms around the new position, and I'm really enjoying it so far. It's very challenging. I will be coordinating the new Cisco VoIP phone solution in several locations. Boy - I'm so excited about that.<br /><br />As far as photography goes - I will continue to do it on the side - so nothing changes there. I've got several weddings lined up. I just cannot tell you all how excited I am about those weddings. I have a few family sessions scheduled for October, and I think I will have a limited Christmas Photo Op this month as well. I will send out a newsletter w/the details in the next few days.Shelley Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428553099783668465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25572416.post-26706725234998964562007-09-21T21:28:00.000-05:002007-09-21T21:32:24.473-05:00Game Over Man!Today is the last day of my blogger challenge. I missed posting 3 times, and was caught twice! It was so much fun, and challenging for me too! It's hard to think of things to talk about.<br /><br />Side note - I was offered a new job today, so starting Monday (on my birthday) I will return to the workforce. I never even had a chance to collect unemployment. That's fine with me though - I'd much rather be working. Don't worry - I'm still doing my photography business on the side - available for weekends only. So nothing has changed there.<br /><br />Please check back often - I will continue to have "Blast From The Past" contests - your past sessions might appear!Shelley Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428553099783668465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25572416.post-34989708765466984612007-09-20T22:52:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:39:25.527-06:00Geckos Need to Pay Rent!I just can't believe how many geckos have invaded my home. Yes, I know they're harmless. Yes, I know they eat bugs & spiders. Yes, I know they're more afraid of me than I am of them. However, they are all over my house - on the outside and inside. It's freaky watching TV and you see something dart across the floor - or across the wall - or in the case below - on the ceiling!<br /><br />One night, my husband threw one outside, and then 5 more came in the house! I'm serious! For the record, it's very true - they will drop their tail when scared. It's also very true that their tails still wiggle after they're "detached". It's also very true that a wife will scream and jump 10 feet in the air when her husband throws the detatched wiggly tail at her! It's a fact that husbands have to sleep on the couch afterwards.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfbkJ3OlIhoTxi4j7CO1uVlljxepotFujMaDJ6lxlchr8dn0OQUwZ4vTrsw-hI9fqCkCOX7IXn9tL3MXkSsZTSfj6ggbSNsq3xpb0BoTtgAzne9NXAGQm4UQkBVn-gSDd_K2oY_w/s1600-h/IMG_0185.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112501747122294386" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfbkJ3OlIhoTxi4j7CO1uVlljxepotFujMaDJ6lxlchr8dn0OQUwZ4vTrsw-hI9fqCkCOX7IXn9tL3MXkSsZTSfj6ggbSNsq3xpb0BoTtgAzne9NXAGQm4UQkBVn-gSDd_K2oY_w/s320/IMG_0185.jpg" border="0" /></a>Shelley Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17428553099783668465noreply@blogger.com2
