As Gomer would say...

Sunday Funnies: Gomer Pyle by a Warren Tufts Imitator

Ok...those of you who know me..I know your laughing at me or rolling your eyes. Those who don't..well God Love ya.

Yep...Missy is up to no good again.

Actually I don't know what the heck I am doing.  I went to my FB wall under ArtHouse and noticed that I still had a button for my blog.

Hmmm..said Curiosity..wonder what lies underneath this button (is it getting suspenseful for you too? I thought so).

 Well, low and behold, it brought me here. So, I started reading some of my posts, and reading things that my followers would post...and with a single tear down my chunky cheeks....I said..."What in the heck am I doing!!!"  (Side note..there were no tears used in that lame comment.

So here I go again...adding one more thing to my none existent time.

For those of who remembered my last post...yes I did get a website...but I'm learning that I am anal when it comes to selling myself.  I mean..first impressions are everything...So it has to be perfect...Anyway..those of you who are still interested in seeing what it looks like... keep your pants on and hold on to your seats, b/c the big reveal is coming!!

so...Long story...short...

Im baa-ackk.

Laughner Family

One of my biggest pleasures is reconnecting with friends from my old hometown, Frankfort, or as the locals call it..."Frantucky".  
  Mitch and Brenda Laughner were high school sweethearts and what a gorgeous couple!  Blond hair, blue eyes..you know, the all-American couple.  Fast forward 15 years and 2 gorgeous kids later, they are as sweet on each other as they were in High School(and still looking great!).
We almost had to reschedule this shoot, but the rain held off long enough to get some special shots.  Mitch works for the Frankfort Fire Dept, and Brenda had a brilliant idea of using the firetruck and station for a 3-generation shot with Mitch, his son and Mitch's dad, Bob.  It was a short window of time, but I think I was able to capture some great shots of the family!

(I apologize if these are looking distorted, It must be Blogger)

Three Generations of Laughner Firemen

Before....

After... still in love...

and 2 beautiful kids!

Thank you Mitch, Brenda, Mattie, and Lane..Looking forward to this Fall!

Mitchell

This past Sunday, I had the privileged to meet and photograph Mitchell Burkhalter and his mom, Linda.  We almost had to cancel, but the rain let up long enough for us to get some great shots.  

What I am posting here is just a teaser.  I cant wait to show them the best of the best!!!

What a super sweet guy and his mom was great to talk to...Not to mention, a huge Purdue fan...

GO BOILERS!

Congratulations Mitchell and best wishes to you and your future!

 My personal favorite from this bunch!

 

Nolan

I was thrilled when Liz gave me a call wanting Nolan's 3 month pictures.

  I have only done one baby, but I love a challenge!

Well, this was no challenge at all.  

In fact, this was so much fun that I'm looking for more babies to practice on!  

This little guy had a rough start when he came into this crazy world, but as you can see, 

he is quite healthy and doing great.

Here's a small preview of what was captured that day. 

Out with the Old...

Yes, I'm changing it up again!
Sorry I haven't been around to check out everyone's blog but its been pure craziness around here!

I have some great things to share, but I just have to find a few minutes to catch my breath and slow my mind down to do it.

Hope everyone is having a super weekend!

This is Herby.   Tried to get a decent picture, but the dumb dog wouldn't sit still.  So I had a stick behind my back and camera in the other.  This is him anxiously waiting for me to throw...Good thing he's a good boy!!

Blessings! Missy

Chute Family

I have the greatest friends in the world.  Bar-none.  I have several friends that no matter the distance or the length of time; you know you will always remain friends.  That is what I have with this family.  Meet Chad, Tammie, Michael, Christopher, and Caitlyn.  I had the pleasure of getting to know this family as Chad was serving as our assistant pastor.  They have since moved, but I have made the trip to see them a couple of times with another dear friend of mine.   Tammie had mentioned that she wanted me to do her family pictures, but since then, some plans had changed, and it looked like it may not happen.  Well, with this last trip, I almost left my camera at home, but something inside me said, "just take it, you know you'll regret it!"  Wow, I'm glad I did.  It was sooo cold, but we were able to get some very nice shots of the family.
Here's a couple to share with you!
Thank you Chutes...God has Huge plans for you!

 

  

  

 

  

 

Addison

The first time I saw Addison was on Facebook.  Just like most people on Facebook, its our virtual brag book to the world(I have like 20 some albums bragging to the Facebook world).  One day, I noticed that my friend Jessica had her baby and she posted some cute pictures.  The first thing I noticed, was the personality spewing from  this child.  At 2 months, she was smiling and reacting to people.

So I said to myself..."Self, I need to get some pictures of this child"...

So several emails later and waiting until after the holidays, I got to catch up with my friend Jessica and her beautiful 5 month old daughter, Addison.  Enjoy!  I know I did!
