And the winner is…..

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Okay, I had a nice video of me actually entering the numbers into random.org, (computer only so as to not show you that I am already in my jammies. hehe) but for some reason my computer doesn’t want to recognize it.  Boo.  So, you get a picture of it, albeit a very yucky phone pic, instead!

Winner

#30!  Keri Doolittle Photo, please email kellygorneyphotography[at]gmail.com with your address and your gift card will be on it’s way!

Thanks to all who entered and became fans on FB.  More contests will be in your future ;-)

My sweet boy

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Today we had our Valentine mini shoot since he was finally feeling better.  Actually, when he woke up yesterday morning, he came running into our room, exclaiming that he was ready for his pictures, but I figured we’d give it another day, until he was feeling 100%.  SO, today I promised him I would do them.  He was being such a ham!!  He definitely does not take after me in that respect because I (gasp) hate to have my picture taken.  It pains me each week when I get in front of it to do the 52 weeks that I SWORE I would do this year.  Anywho, I was able to get a couple good ones to use for his school Valentine cards, so I was happy about that.  I also got this shot of him which I just love.  My baby boy :-)

Happy Tuesday {and a little giveaway}

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

It’s been a yucky week.  I am feeling a bit down and my son is sick now and it’s just….blah.  The weather is icky and I can’t get outside to take pictures and, well, it’s a yucky time of year.  BUT, you know what is NOT yucky about this time of year?  COFFEE.  And anyone who knows me, knows how much I loooove coffee.  It totally makes me happy.  So, in honor of hitting 300 Facebook fans, I want to make one of YOU happy!  It’s just a little giveaway, but one of you will win a $15 Starbucks giftcard.

Valentine Minis | Tatum Style

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Of course, Tatum had to get in on some Valentine photo shoot action as well.  She is in loooove with this heart pillow I picked up a week or so ago.  I grabbed a couple shots of her while I could (she tends to be a girl on a mission most of the time).  She humored me :-)  When did she get so big?  She has sure grown up since last year at this time!

Here is a sneak peek of today’s Valentine Mini Sessions!  Good thing it was indoor because it has been POURING all day!  Yuck.  These little men were so handsome and I think it’s safe to say they enjoyed their Valentine treats ;-)

Hope you enjoy this little preview!

“Your kids *always* look at the camera”

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

I hear this often.  Yes, my children are very good about looking at the camera.  They are quite used to it and usually very cooperative.  Don’t be fooled, though.  I still get my fair share of “looks” and attitudes.  I get goofy faces, cheesy grins, tongues, etc.  The other day, I wanted to get a shot of Tatum doing something cute and said, “Tatum, look at Mama!”  This is what I got:

See.  It happens to all of us. LOL!
