{White Background Fun :D}

Oh my gracious - I am having way too much fun :)  I've only been here for two weeks, but I kind of feel that Manitou is now home :D  All the people here are so amazing, and each day adds a whole new layer to the word 'awesome' ;)  So sad that I'm leaving tomorrow!!

But I digress :D  Anyway....there's a big white background in one corner of the classroom, and we had a blast the other night with our cameras and some flashes :)

Someone dug out an industrial-sized fan, and the girls with long hair were totally rocking the model look ;)

We had some fun blooper shots, too :D

"Easy, breezy, beautiful!" :D

The above picture makes me laugh so hard :P  That is some pretty sweet hair action!!!

Josh didn't have the hair, but that didn't stop him ;)

And Matt joined in just for fun :)

We even got one of the instructors to join in!!!

The crowd grew with the addition of Holly.....

Someone took my camera and I joined in for a few shots....

and the group got larger......

....and larger.....

....and larger.....

......until we had just about everyone squeezed in!!!

Anyway....in case you can't tell, we had a ton of fun :D  Thanks to all my awesome friends for modeling for me - you were amazing!!!

Fun times in CO :)

Well I had such good blogging intentions at the beginning of the week but they fell completely flat as the days went by :)  But I am having soooo much fun here....I'm currently sitting on a couch in front of a toasty fire editing pictures and enjoying Pintrest laughs with some of the best friends ever :D  We've been hither and yon all week, but today we went to Garden of The Gods today and I think I almost died from all the gorgeousness :)  On the way home everyone in the bus sang How Great Thou Art, and it was the perfect tribute to the awesome work of our Creator!!  A small sampling of the kind of stuff I've been doing is below....much more to come later :D 

(sweet Rachel - she is so much fun :D)

I'm HERE!!!! :D

Wow....I can't believe I finally made it!!  A lot of you know that I have been planning on doing a photography course in Colorado Springs for a long time now, so I'm finally here and it is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! :D  Pictures really don't do it justice, but I'll do my best ;)  The above is what I'm looking at as I'm typing this....the mountains are so spectacular!  

I think David realized the awesomeness of God when he stated, "Oh Lord how manifold are your works, in wisdom have you made them all.  The earth is full of your riches!"  You understand that in a whole new light when you come out here :)

I'll do my best to keep up with blogging throughout the week, but I really should go eat breakfast before class starts :)  Hope you all have an amazing week!!

{Isaac}

CAUTION: extreme cuteness alert :D :D  Over the summer I worked with Isaac's grandmother, Colleen, and she continually delighted the whole office with pictures of this adorable little cherub ;)  I had the opportunity to do my first toddler photoshoot with Isaac on Saturday, and he performed like a seasoned photo veteran :) 

He's at the stage where he's 'finding' his toes, eyes, cheeks, etc, so he was quite proud to show me his shoulders :)

Isaac and his beloved 'Mo-Mo' (aka 'Elmo')

Some 'Mommy and me' photos :)

Just as I thought this little guy just couldn't get any cuter, I asked him to smile, which produced the above result :)  Apparently this is his trademark response when asked to 'say cheese' :D

How big is Isaac? ;)

So I'd been looking around on Pinterest for some toddler pose ideas, and I saw the cutest photos with a little one holding a lollipop.  I took a lollipop for Isaac, prepared for the most adorable pictures, but I only got about ten before he dropped it on the ground :P  Oh well...my lesson was learned, and I'll pay better attention next time :D

Thanks so much Janelle and Jay for letting my photography your adorable little man - I had way too much fun :D  Hope you're all enjoying this rainy evening!! :)

{A sneak peek of adorable-ness :D}

I must say that never before has my computer been flooded with so much cuteness :D  Much more to come of this adorable little guy!! 

Have a blessed holiday weekend :)
