Still Saturday?

Wow, what a day. Sessions this morning (I'll post one of those tomorrow) and a lot of computer work the rest of the day has left my eyes tired and my brain feeling like mush, but still a good feeling of acomplishment. A closer look at some secondary links on our site showed some problems needing immediate correction, more work on flash templates for presentations rounded out today. Patrick and Eric are both spending the night away from home tonight, so it is quiet(er) with just Kaitie. Looking at more images, have always liked this one (Chelsi was also top in her class).

Countdown until Christmas

Today was another long one, starting at 5 this morning, into the studio shortly before 6. Accomplished alot before location work all afternoon. Wrap up and able to spend a little time with family before heading back home and unwind a little (which brings me to the here and now). A short day tomorrow, sessions all morning which leaves all afternoon for studio work and a little more family time (this time of year is tough on family but we do our best) which Patrick and I may use to see Harry Potter (don't know if Eric can go yet). Had a great session earlier this week (several actually) but this one was really fun. We were asked to create a portrait of a cheerleader, this is what I designed in my mind and then implemented (Dailee did great with the multiple flips). Designing, then creating, images is what this is all about.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving in this day and age: Food is the same as years past, some things you simply don't change. The Cowboys are playing (4th quarter all tied up with the Broncos) and leftovers are on tonights menu, some things may never change. Patrick is in his room gaming (Starcraft) with a friend in Pontotoc while Eric spends a few minutes on XBox (ok, we did relax the rules for a holiday) and I've been working on more flash presentations for the site (once again glad for the wireless on the laptop), tech will always change. Wanted to put up an image of Patrick in his drum corp uni (we did the Memphis Sound individuals), pulled the image off the server at the studio, converted and resized in PS, logged in, typed this entry and uploaded all while watching the game (still tied), I love good tech. BTW, seems like Drum Corps have an unwritten rule concerning any facial expression resembling a smile, Patrick really is a pleasant HS senior.

Thanksgiving Eve

Yet another 14 hour day is wrapped up, and tomorrow is officially a day we are closed (of course that means I will only go in for 2-3 hours in order to prep for Fri sessions. The season continues to build between portrait sessions and our finishing art work. Jeni has family coming into town so we will be with them some, Patrick and I will work some more on our construction job in the garage, we have to get the concrete poured before cold sets in on a permanent basis. The best news is we get to thumb our nose at the alarm clock in the morning and sleep in until 6 or so. Pulled this image to add to our site, love the finishing art work we get to be crazy with at times.

Rainy Day

Alright, going through files for site images and found this image taken during a lull in Katrina. Our little girl loves her red rubber boots, especially when mixed with large puddles.

Finally!

Even though its not completely finished, finally had a chance to get our new site up and running this morning. With the annual Holiday Rush on us, it has been a bear to tie all the pieces together. Designed as a continual work in progress, this site should bridge the time between the old site and what I envision for the future, an update rather than a drastic/radical change.
