Please pray for those affected by the floods. Two of my friends were displaced this week due to the flooding.

And C family and N family, please please email me if any of your photos I took were destroyed. I’ll happily get those replaced. I’m so sorry to hear about your homes. If there’s anything I can do, please don’t hesitate to ask!!!

ALOHA!

Announcing the contest for best image of 2008. I wanted to pick one from each session, but there were just so many that I had to narrow it down. I had an unbiased opinion (my hubby) who helped me select my images.

The winner will receive a framed 16X20 of the image. Also, for anyone who votes and books a session you will receive a free 16X20 of an image from your session. You must book your session before the contest ends, though to get the super cool dealy-O.

To vote, please make a comment below in the comment box for whatever number you are voting for. Please no fake email addresses and only one vote per person. My system can track these things, so please no cheaty cheaty or your vote won’t count.

Contest will end on January 10th, 2009 at midnight.

Have fun and get all your friends, family, coworkers and enemies involved. Okay, well maybe not enemies, but you get the idea 😉

My kids enjoying the snow yesterday.

(Don’t worry, their hands didn’t freeze. We were only out for a few minutes.)

I met the R family out in Kelso for a fun (and REALLY cold) family portrait session. They are old family friends and Mrs. R is quite the photographer herself. We have traveled the world together as our husbands were both in the Army together. We were stationed in South Korea at the same time as well as in Hawaii. My middle son (mr. I) is 10 days older than her oldest daughter Miss N. My tiniest son (mr. D) is 8 days older than her Miss K. How weird is that?!!!

We’ve already decided it’s going to be a pre-arranged marriage for both of them since we already like the in-laws. Mr. I kept talking about Miss N, so we think they might decide to get married on their own anyway. Wishful thinking, right?!!

Anyway, they were adorable and quite the troopers when the temperature was only 20 degrees outside. Thank goodness for hot chocolate bribes 🙂
