what's your name?

ok, i will apoligize in advance for any typos, but only because i am laughing so hard.
my wonderful hubby just told me that he got a ticket yesterday when taking the kids to school -- of course, that isn't why i am laughing, there is more. our little girl, maeson, whom will be 4 shortly, always says, "what's your name" when we go through a drive thru for food or make deposits at the bank or even when you just say hi to a stranger in the store. well, when phil was stopped for his expired inspection sticker, she did as she always does..."what's your name" to the police officer. and, for those of you that don't know my daughter, she is very persistant! she continued to ask, "what's your name, what's your name, what's your name", so finally phil asked the office if he wouldn't mind telling her his name so she would be quiet and that he knew he fully deserved a ticket. apparently mr. officer wasn't very child-friendly as he gave her a not nice look, so my wonderful daughter says to his glare, "don't be mad, i just want to know your name." finally, he replies to her ~ deputy "jones" ~ now here comes the funny part...her reply to him ~ "your name is deputy, now that's just silly" ~ my hubby is doing all he can do to keep from laughing as the officer is trying to do the same. when deputy couldn't keep from laughing he finally had to walk back to his car before issuing my hubby his ticket.
moral of the story, next time you get stopped have your kids say, "what's your name"

today's thoughts ~

we do not remember days, we remember moments ~ Cesare Pavese

Baby A ~ you've grown so much!

As a parent to three kids I know that they change quickly, but also seeing my kids on a daily basis keeps me from sometimes seeing all of the little things even over a short amount of time. This sweet little girl, Miss A, has changed so much since the last time I saw her and that was only 3 months ago. From a tiny newborn to a cute & chubby 4 month old with lots of hair & smiles. Thanks for sharing this moment with me ~

Engagement Session: L & K

Thanks to Angela for referring her wonderful sister & soon-to-be brother-in-law for their engagement session. L & K, thanks for a fun time & let me know if I need to pack my bag for that Hawaii wedding!

love is in the air ~

thanks to jennifer & brice for allowing me to share in capturing their special day, they are truly made for each other. may your life & love be even more than you have dreamed.

and, for those of you from my little home town that may recognize brice ~ yes, coach does have a son old enough to get married! thanks to fellow photographer, kimberly, for catching a picture of coach and I together during all of the craziness.

give me a break, please, please ~

with gas prices rising even higher and most of us needing a break from the heat and the payment at the pump, i am giving a $50 print credit for those of you that call to book your appointment this week ~ so head to the phone, 512.394.4530, or drop me an email, sandy@allaboutmephotography.com (when you call or email be sure to mention the GIVE ME A BREAK special).

and, in honor of the slower days during the week, for those that book on a wednesday during the month of july i will give you an extra $25 print credit ~ so save $75 and fill up your tank then come relax in my air-conditioned studio while we have some fun!

brothers ~

these two brothers are just too handsome! look at those eyes ~ girls watch out. even my four year-old knew what she was seeing when she met these two boys, she gave them her best sweet and innocent look as she played shy (and she is anything but!). thanks mom & dad for allowing me to capture this special moment between your little guys...they won't stay little for long.
