{silly faces}

the many silly faces of laykin~

{my sweet daughter}

so, since yesterday was reasonably nice outside. a balmy 50 degrees...
laykin and i set out on a quick little adventure to show that just because
it's winter and nothings green, doesn't mean that you can't take photos
outside. a couple of years ago i probably woundn't have seen the potential
in the blah, dry, colorless days of winter... but i have come to the point
now that i can look beyond the dead trees and brown grass ;)
so anyway, on with the pictures of my sweet baby girl and her because i have
always had my mother in my face with a camera so i can pose better than tyra banks
amazing abilities in front of the camera. and if you are thinking of a session
in these lovely winter landscapes, just send me an email!!

{and......}

first of all : that dang plane crash/landing in NY has me a bit freaked since i am flying next friday!

WAHOO. next friday. ONE week and i will be in sunny Cali... where the temp. is a balmy 80 degrees. i am so sorry, i shouldn't be rubbing it in since it's a painful 2 degrees here. BURRR.
i am just so stoked! you will have to check in next weekend b/c i will be blogging the blue sunny SO CAL skies. i am sure that AC and Liz will too.

and a photo of all of us b/c what's a post without a picture, right?!

i am so tickled!!! ;) thanks to ALL OF YOU loyal blog readers out there.

{more january ranomness}

laykin was sick a couple days last week and so she went to my moms during the day.
she had 5ths disease... after having hand and foot disease in december. i tell ya. i sure am loving this whole "school" thing GRRR. :) hopefully we are done with the sicknesses now for at least a month. anyway, she told my mom that she needed a project to do... and then decides that she needs a board. so, my mom gets her a board (because my mom is ALL kindsa crafty and just has random boards laying around)
heehee anyway, on with the story.... laykin makes me this board with my car on it and the word "keys" b/c she says "my mom can never find her keys" lol
check it out. this kid is genius!!


i am so excited about this ginormous image that just came for my hall~

laykin asked if we could go to DQ and get a hot fudge sundae after school yesterday. i couldn't resist her sweetness. ;)

hello everyone~
i am looking for a newborn baby to photograph for a marketing
project that is less than 2 weeks old. i will waive the session fee and you will
get 50% off any prints you wish to purchase~
so, if you or someone you know has just had a baby...
have them email me jamie@lifeasaphoto.com i am taking the first person to contact me.

also, if you have a gallery up on http://www.lifeasaphoto.com/
from 2008~ i will be removing them all to free up space
for my 09 sessions. i was extremely lenient last year on the
times i left them up and this year i won't be able to do that.
so~ you will have one month to make your selections.
if you need more time or need your gallery added back, it
will be 35.00

please do so by jan. 19th!

recently, there's not been a lot of new sessions to blog about. sorry,
