it was a no.....this month

I wont lie..I wanted to post an adorable picture that would show you I am pregnant...but I got my period:( so no babies...I wont lie part of me is numb like this always happens and part of me is like awwww man....

someone commented about me taking maternity pics and how it might be hard...well it was at first but now I REALLY try and look at it as rub your belly on me so it can happen to me..hahaahahha....it makes me sad when people dont realize what a miracle they are taking part growing a human and how many cant do it. So far the maternity shoots that I have done have been for women that struggled too and got pregnant naturally. So I pray that will be my story.

But on the other hand of me not being pregnant, my business is thriving. I seemed to be booked alot....jess is on location for almost everyshoot to pose the people and let me tell you how much that helps....like woahhhhhh...I feel like my pics are better because Im not doing everything...we want to be awesome like these two sisters we know of that do the same thing:)



this was my very first day after session....it poured at the park on the day of the wedding so she wanted to come back....I think she is so happy that she did...she had ink on her foot that her, her sister, and her mom got when he grandma died a few months back...love this...it says i can only imagine which I might be a little partial seeing as that was the song that I love about my mom and get choked up almost everytime I hear it....



they loved each other soooo much. they are moving to Missouri in a few days to start a church...they know no one...God be with them.



this is loveys favorite


im off to edit alot more pics....the cloning tool mght just be the end of me...its never consistant...Im looking for a good tutorial but its driving me nuts.

yes its true

we are done TTC. I am not testing BUT I wont lie, every month I hope and hope and hope that maybe we will that couple who did 4 IVF's with 3 negs and 1 pos with miscarriage but magically get prego on our own......yes I know I far cry..but the DR said it may happen........

so today I came on to look at my symptoms because I like the torture.

period due wednesday...pray it doesnt come...for at least 9 months.

I wanna tell the world

I saw on Oprah, a little while ago, that it doesnt matter what you do in life but whatever you do...DO IT 150%...ROCK IT....GIVE ALL YOU GOT! So with my pictures thats what Im trying to do....

In the last week I have learned two major thing in photoshop that saves me tons of time...and I am so proud of me...considering that I'm the worst reader..I like me some pictures...Jess is the reader....so for me to search for hours and hours and blogs after blogs to find stuff.... is well a huge challenge for me, so when I do something I have learned, I love it:)

well this am. I did something...I not only swapped a kid from an entire different picture so the family has a pic of all the grandkids but I put it all together, famed and wrote on it....so booooooooyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

yes im proud...


wanna see? of course you do...

my first maternity shoot

i got up at 7am when we were up alot last night because my husbands twins went to the ER and had his appendix out...went to a VERY hot outdoor maternity shoot..then came home..changed my soaked in sweat...uploaded pics....quickly edited one and put on FB ...ran out to a birthday party to shoot it..in the VERY hot weather but it was soooo oh so cute....left there changed again out of my soaking clothes and took a quick shower and went to the hospital...which we just got home just know...so no editing for me..just going to relax in bed....awwww my bed is calling me.

my very first engagement shoot

so last night i went for my engagement shoot...This couple is getting married in a greenhouse on the brides parents property thats totally dead but they are working day and night to be able to make it beautiful....They said its like God's redemtion..they have done some pretty crappy things yet Gods adores them and have made them whole again..kind of like the greenhouse....Dead but will be whole again..its soooo beautiful.

watermark

so after 4521254 hours spend working on this...ok maybe just all day...but i have a watermark...

my slave aka bff aka assitant found this blog....http://jessicabell-tutorials.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-make-logo-brush-watermark-brush.html
which after searching and searching over and over and people telling u how to make a watermark.....and i guess u resize it for all your pics?

well this is how u make one and save as a brush and stamp it........... so how I could learn this awesomeness and not share..

so after downloading some free brushes and fonts..I came up with this...

and with it as a stamp/brush you can change the color, the size and a million other things which i love!!!!!

I hope this helps even one person! that would be sooooo awesome!

Happy 4TH EVERYONE!!!!

I hope everyone has a fun, safe, and dry 4th..We usually get rain....I hope and pray we dont....My hsuband and his brother already went out and bought fireworks which is awesome considering that they usually wait till the night before and go crazy....so yayayyay for that!

I had my cutie nephew over for some 4th pics...we try and get every holiday in....

here is her fav...
