some favorites of 2008 {portraits and seniors}

January 16, 2009

Ok, I am still reflecting on 2008 over here, and it is not ending anytime soon. Maybe by the time January is over I will be in the 09 mindset. :) I am going to do a few posts showing some of our favorites from this past year, and I would love for you to vote for your favorite! In fact, let’s have a little friendly competition….In the comment box, vote the number of your favorite. Rules: You can only vote for one photo, and you HAVE TO TELL WHY you are voting for that photo, or it won’t count. The photo that receives the most votes, that person/family/couple will receive a complementary 8X10 from studio3z of their choice. Pretty cool huh? If you are a person who is looking to win, feel free to spam our blog on to every email you know!!! ;) Get the world you know voting.

****EDIT***** The deadline to vote on this entry is Monday morning (19th), 7am!

our happy new year. {in card form}

January 13, 2009

Each year we send out New Year’s cards. Last year was our first year with 4 kids, and when I saw a cool card that folded accordion style with 4 spaces on each side, I knew it would be great for our family. This year I contemplated doing a different style card just to change things up, but in the end we figured out that the card style we chose last year was THE BEST, and we better just stick to that. :)

Brett’s brother came into town from Los Angeles and surprised us on December 24th. As I was washing dishes from dinner he called and as we were chatting, he asked if I could come open the garage door. He does this all the time, and yet each time he still manages to completely surprise us. He stayed in town for a week and a half and we all had fun. (Many more photos coming from the fun we had…) During his stay we asked him to help us take photos for our New Year’s card, and then we got the oddest day where it was 70 degrees out. PERFECT! I did my usual….got the kids up from nap and without any thought to outfits, matching, etc. dressed them in something that was “them” and hoped for the best. (Works for me, but not really recommended. :) We headed out to my parents field, and went crazy for about 15 minutes. Here are of few of the treasures we came up with….some for our card, and some extras.

Love this one of all of us…
