Massive Catchup

So I have a new adventure. Sure I am a stay at home mother of twin 3yr olds, a bible study leader, and a photographer but I guess I thought I didn't have enough of my plate...HA! So I jumped in with both feet and am now a Consultant with Mary Kay. Ok family, stop laughing. If you know me, or definitely knew me growing up, you would never in a million years peg me to be a Mary Kay consultant. But I LOVE IT! I don't know if I will ever not love seeing women transform before me and truly see themselves as beautiful. Better yet, I don't think I will ever get tired of seeing them after a week or two and feel like their skin is changing, becoming smooth, clear and younger looking. There is nothing that makes a woman feel better than having clear, beautiful skin and I admire nothing more than strong, self confident women!

Now most of you know my nature is pretty skeptical. I signed up for this and thought "Ok, I'll give just solely Mary Kay products a try and then go back to my stand by products that (i thought) I can't live without." It has only been two full weeks of using their products and I can't imagine going back to my other products. I NEVER though I would give up my beloved mascara, but I have truly found a new love!

Not to sound like a sales pitch but just wanted to blog for myself how I was feeling as this new adventure begins and how I truly am seeing results in just two weeks. Better yet, I have people who don't even know yet that have told me my skin looks so pretty lately....and then I let them in on my little secret!

So if any of you are interested in throwing a girls night, spa party or just want a facial...give me a call! I can come to you anywhere...even South Africa Cat (wouldn't that be awesome!).

Now here is a catch up of all the past days I have missed! Most of these are shot on my iphone with the "Shake-it" app. If you don't have it, it is a must! (Just know that you can't resize them for blogs that I can figure out.)

Hello!

Ok I PROMISE I have been taking pictures everyday...I am just WAY behind in posting them. Even the other night at almost midnight I remembered I hadn't taken a picture that day and I grabbed my camera to get a late night shot of my house.

I HAD to share this picture with you all though. This is a newborn I had the honor of shooting last week. I think I am starting to adore shooting newborns. This little angel was 9 days old and was perfect. I mean didn't open her eyes once! Just had to show this to you all though before I crashed for the night. Much more to come....hopefully tomorrow!



Angel!

52/365 9 day old baby shoot!

Check out this angel! He was so much fun to shoot and I had such a blast with this family. I can't wait to finish up their pictures so they can see all of them. I can't wait to watch this little man grow but for now I am crazy over all his sweet little newborn features.

I also started a blog for the photo biz. If you would like to follow me there just go to

I'll post some more of this little guy after I have shown his parents the rest of their photos. Stay tuned!
