Dum, de Dum....

Good grief! July is on it's way out the door... Where did the time go?

I feel totally scatterbrained today for some reason, like I can't concentrate on any one thing too long for fear I might forget the other million ideas running around in my head...

For instance : A photographer friend and I are exchanging photo sessions for our families because well... DUH. Like the proverbial mechanic who always has a broken down car, we never have family photos. We have photos OF our family, but rarely are we IN them! :) So, then that took a turn to, 'Hmmm... what are we going to wear?!?' and holy Moses, either I'm really lacking in the clothing department, or I'm over thinking this WAY too much. More than likely the former because I see myself buying a whole new set of coordinating duds for this adventure...

AND then there's the trip Mom and I were planning for this fall. Nothing fancy, but just to get the heck out of dodge for the weekend... However, due to some procrastination on my part, we might have to rearrange plans a smidge. Well, really, there are a bazillion things to do in this beautiful state, so where to start has my brain a mess! Any suggestions welcome!

Then there's Lilly who's been wearing big girl panties for a week now and doing MAGNIFICENT! Wow, total 180 degree change from NOT wanting them 8 days ago.

Maya is rolling around and getting so much bigger and I'm sad to say that I haven't scheduled her baptism yet... Maybe today I should get on that.

I haven't talked to Faith in almost 2 weeks... Thankfully {for me} she'll be home in two weeks-ish and I'll get to finally talk to her!
Dean is STILL busy all the time and I'm craving some adult time {aka: DATE NIGHT} with him, since that hasn't happened since before we were married I don't think. Even for our 1st anniversary we already had Faith AND a new baby, so being relaxed and enjoying our time together hasn't happened in eons.

So! Now that you know my life story in a nut shell! Add in all the weddings and other studio 60 sessions that are happening and it seems like life is whizzing by at break neck speed...

Here's a little photo of Maya and my VERY sad attempt to do her '3 month' photos. Trust me. This is one I adore, but that's all I got and it really does take 12 hands to get things done... I swear! LOL! What a little ham, though. She's already giving me that... 'MOTHER' look.

Tyler + Andrea {Perham, Minnesota Wedding Photographer}

I wish all weddings and wedding parties were like this one. Super sweet, super nice and just plain super... HA!

It was just a perfect day that started out with the uncertainty of rain, but we lucked out and got great cloud cover instead that held off the sunshine long enough to get some great photos at the family farm.
Andrea did her best modeling for the camera with the coaxing of her friends and myself doing some fancy maneuvers and if I do say so myself, she is just gorgeous!
What a sweet couple!
Tyler and his men doing the 'flying V' as it was referred to.... what a bunch of handsome guys! Love the gray suits! They were a nice change from super formal black and they made the metallic purples pop!

Hellooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Oh my GOSH. I am so behind on sneak peeks and posts it's not even funny! However, those are usually the first big chunk of computer time to go when I'm busy and can't get everything done.... Imagine that! But I did feel the need to stop in and say that I'm still alive and that there are some GREAT photos coming this way!

Tomorrow I have a NEW project that I will be tackling... so excited to share it with you as I've never quite done anything like it before, but it should be fun! Can't wait! You'll see what I'm talking about later in the week I'm sure!

studio 60 definitely has some GREAT things in the works lately, like.... the month of July is FAMILY month! What a great thing to have memories of your family. Truly, very important... and also, in July, FAMILY sessions are only $59! With that you receive a complimentary proof book of your session! How great is that?!?

Hmmm... other that that... I'm still missing my Faith as she is in PA with her grandparents. Actually as we speak, she is at a horse camp getting all learned to come home and beg for a horse, I'm sure of it. Not out of the question, but maybe out of the budget a little! HA! Someday!

Went for a boat ride with my mom and brother the other day. Strangely, it was just so nice and I know my mom really enjoyed herself. Since when do both her children congregate in the same place, let alone in the boat. ;) It was absolutely the perfect evening and the weather was glorious. God how I miss living there and boating all the time. Took some photos and I'd love to put them on here for you, however... they're on my mom's camera.... duh.

Anyway! OK! Gotta get on it! Enjoy your day!

Welcome July! {perham, mn photographer}

Oh wow! So I missed the 1st by a day, and tomorrow is the 3rd... and Sunday is the 4th already and this weekend is DONE. Amazing!

Just thought I'd say a big Happy Birthday to my friend Em today! Many more to you also!

Going to a wedding tomorrow as a guest for a change and the weather is looking UGLY. Ninety-five {95} and thunderstorms? What the hell? Oh, and did I mention I think it's an outdoor wedding?

What do you do?

Not much is new here except I'm missing Faith... she left last Sunday for Pennsylvania to spend the month of July with her grandparents, her ponies and to go to an actual riding camp... Nah, she's not spoiled at all! Oh well, I'm happy she's doing things that I never did when I was a kid.

Lilly, Maya and myself are just chilling out in the blast furnace and being bums. It's too hot to do anything else. No, BTW, we don't have AC. Yuck. Oh well, what do you do?

Other than that! Looking forward to a GREAT month of FAMILY sessions at studio 60.

**All Family Sessions booked in the month of July are only $59!**

Yep, you heard me. Call or email me for dates of availability!

I had better get getting, I think I hear Lilly upstairs 'washing her hands' which I think is her new favorite past time...
Don't you love the photo of my mom {Check out her website HERE} with my girls?? This was at Itasca State Park... and yes, Lilly went swimming in the Mississippi River. Go figure.
