Issac

I was excited when George contacted me to take his son's newborn portraits. I enjoyed visiting with Mom and Dad and LOVED holding and loving on Issac. He was a doll.

Our Little Patriots

Holidays are more entertaining when you have little ones that live for the exciting moments that adults have come to expect. I could not resist taking pictures of the kids in their cute patriotic clothing.

Happy 4th of July

Today I celebrate July 4th in appreciation for the men who fought to protect our freedom.

While you are enjoying all the joys of 4th of July, do not fail to remember these remarkable men who drafted the Declaration of Independence, protected our principles and fought for our freedom.

Interesting fact...
July 2, 1776, was actually the day that Independence was declared from Great Britain, as part of a resolution passed by Congress on that day. On that day, John Adams declared that July 2nd will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America.

On July 4th, Congress approved the Declaration of Independence.

The first celebration of "July 4th" was on July 8th when the Declaration was publicly read in Philadelphia. Citizens celebrated with gun fire, bon-fires and fireworks. This custom was borrowed from England.

Summer Week 4

Monday, June 29, 2009~ Business stuff. Prepared for photo shoot. Rained out. Went to look at new vehicles.

Tuesday, June 30, 2009~ I sketched out the lemonade stand that we will be building this weekend. For a photo prop! Worked on vehicle purchase. Crazy that you have to pay a couple of thousand dollars more for black. Worked out.

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 ~ Met with Brenda to discuss house plans. Purchased a new vehicle. Worked out.

Thursday, July 2, 2009 ~ My body is so sore. I have lost one pound! Decided Tuesday, that I am going to be serious. I have read that you have to work out 21 days straight to become addicted. Today will be the third day straight. Ibarra Photo Shoot.

Friday, July 3, 2009 ~ Josh and I went to Humble to eat lunch and shop. Cleaned the house. Yuck!

Saturday, July 4, 2009 ~ Went to my parents for lunch. Josh, my dad and myself spent quality time together building my lemonade stand prop. I thought I would be apart of the TEA party in Liberty. That did not last long. It was too hot! We then went to Josh's parents for dinner.

Sunday, July 5, 2009 ~ Slept in. Spent the day working on logo choices and researching backdrops. Finished lemonade stand.

Taxed Enough Already? Join the Party.

From KSHN: Tea Party...Citizens across America including here in Liberty County will gather over the July Fourth weekend for what are called TEA Parties. An acronym for “Taxed Enough Already”, these events are to protest deficit spending by the federal government. A TEA party is planned for Saturday from 4-8 pm at the Vara Faye Martin Daniel Pavilion behind Liberty City Hall. There will be live entertainment, and US Congressmen Ted Poe as well as State Representative John Otto are both scheduled to speak. Tea and water will be provided, but folks are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and umbrellas to minimize exposure to the sun.

Shelia

I had a great time photographing Shelia's maternity session. Shelia always looks beautiful in all her pictures.

Thank you Amber for all your help.
