Ok, so the first thing i have to share are some family pictures of the fantastic Hawley Family! You guys are really one of the cutest and funniest family I’ve ever met! We had so many funny moments this afternoon.. the one i will never forget was the moment when Macie, the little sweetheart took a dive into my backdrop.. soooo funny and so scary! And I topped off the session with my lousy try to mimic animal sounds to get Macie to laugh. I am pretty sure everybody laughed but Macie! So if you want to hear my dieing horse.. just come right in and enjoy the show! lol

And I also get to share some pages of a new sample album I just got in the mail this week. This album is a 10×10 Coffee Table book with the new available hinged pages. Those pages are a little thicker and the pages lay flat when you open the book. It is available with glossy finish, like the one i ordered or with matt finish and i just plainly love it. This album would work wonderful as a Engagement Album or a fancy Senior Book.. I also would suggest it as a Parent Album for the Wedding Couples. And of course it is available in many many sizes and styles.. from the photo-cover to a fabric or leather cover.

And to finish this post off I have to share a couple of pictures from my little house monster! That little stinker never passes an opportunity to get in trouble. Just like Tuesday evening when i decided to bake some cupcakes.. and while I was still waiting for the rest to get done in the oven made my daughter the decision to already give them a try. Jonathon came up to my office and asked me if I gave Ally some cupcakes, which i didn’t. So Jonathon looked at me and said, I am pretty sure that your daughter (in those cases she is ALWAYS my daughter!! funny ha!) is sitting in the big chair, watching Harry Potter with the whole box of cupcakes next to her! These are the moments where you have to try so hard not to laugh and tell her how cute she is.. but after telling her how naughty that was i just couldn’t help it and had to snap some pictures. May I present to you “the cupcake monster”!!

Right now I am super busy with all kinds of projects and sessions.. so be sure to check back and get some more sneaks into what I am up to these days. And than from next Wednesday on I will take a ten day break cause I have a little Bavarian invasion going on in my house. My two best friends incl. one boyfriend are coming to visit us here in Iowa. We will through a Bavarian Night with homemade food and Bavarian dresses for our family and visit the Mall of America and hopefully do a trip to the Omaha Zoo. So I am pretty sure there will be a lot to blog after they went home! And I promise there will be a picture of us (incl. Ally) in real Bavarian dresses and Lederhosen!! Piggy swear!
