Is your dog ready for GAME DAY?






We're all gearing up for GAME DAY! I was really happy to do this quick photo session for my friend Mimi. She'll be running a couple of these in her upcoming ad with The Leaf Chronicle so be on the look out for it. This adorable Boxer belongs to Kimberly Kintrup. It was a beautiful day and what a fun shoot. I'm not too sure if there are any openings left but I will be shooting at The Doggie Day Spa this Sunday and Monday. So give them a call (931) 503-2284 for any last mintue openings. Pet Portraits and Valentine's Day Cards are available. (And they are too cute!)

Football always reminds me of my late father. I miss him. Little side story for ya...Our neighbors son saved data from my melted hard drive computer so although Ernie and I lost all our early pre digital photos of our families we do have some recent years for which I am so grateful. But what I am most grateful for are the little group of pictures that were in a plastic bag tucked away in my closet of my father. (old old pictures, prehistoric like) It is truly an act of God that they were saved right with a very very special Bible of my husband's. Kind of amazing really. One of the little miracles we've experienced, along with so many over the last few weeks.

God Bless you all and thank you again. ENJOY Game Day, I know I will as my husband and I eat some chips, drink some beer and watch football in rememberance of my Dad.

On A Happy Note....

You'll have to check out the little photo session the kids and I had just before Ernie's Birthday. This was a present from the kids to their Dad. Actually, we had all planned on it well before the fire and I asked the kids if they still wanted to do it and as much as some of them hate taking pictures (Daniel & Jessie for the most part) they were all about it! I was so happy. They are all such beautiful kids. They all really wanted to go to the house and do our session by our beautiful fence made by Mr. H. So that's what we did. (Had to sneak off from Ernie that day!) But we got it done and had a blast doing it. What a Motley Mohley Crew we have!

A fire is so devastating but it's truly amazing what comes up out of the ashes. I admire the strength in all my children, their resilience and their humor. It's not easy blending a family like ours but at the end of the day that's just what we are a family. I know we'll be closer and stronger as we rebuild our lives.

Thanks again for all your love and support. I've received so many beautiful notes from friends and clients. I love you all!

You Find Out Who Your Friends Are...

I know you all might be tired of my gushing on and on. And I promise I'll try to move on soon. I'm just so touched by how many people have reached out to us. It's so truly amazing. I can't tell you how blessed Ernie and I feel. I won't lie it's been a little rough over the last couple of weeks. Our lives have been turned totally upside down. But our family,friends and neighbors have been there to see us through. I love this song because it just encompases so much about the situation, events like this really do show you who your friends are. Friends you didn't even know you had. People you don't even know. Thank you all once again. I know I can't say it enough. I hope all the good you have given comes back to you 100 fold! God Bless you all!

Don't forget I'll be at Doggie Day Spa for Pet Pictures at the end of this month. Jan 26 and 27th! Super excited! Valentine's Day Cards Available!!!! (I'll be so so happy to be working again!)
