Smorgasbord of Pics

Fin loves wearing other peoples shoes so if you leave

yours by the door, don't be surprised if she tries them on!

She loved wearing my boots so grammy and papa Marcum

got a pair for her!

This is Fin at swimming lessons. She loves the water and

had fun splashing around in the water. I was mostly in the

water with her but I wanted some pics so I was able to talk

Dad into swimming with her.

K Family

Here is a brave family that let me practice on them! They are

actually very good friends of ours and Finley just loves them

both.

Here is What I Can Do for You

This is Finley's invite for her party that I created. This is

a 5x7 card front and back. Let me design one for you!

This is great for birthday parties, holiday parties, any holiday

cards, birth annoucements, graduation announcements, engagement

announcements, etc. These come in a variety of sizes

and shapes. Email me for more info. lahoward99@yahoo.com

Finley is going to be 2!

Its hard to believe that my baby is going to be two! Here are a

few shots we took this weekend. She was more than happy to

cooperate when a cupcake was placed in front of her!

More Studio Pics

More practice with my new studio!

Cute Couple

Hey, look at this cute couple! I got studio lights

this weekend and my loving husband has been

busy making a photography studio in our living

room that we never use. So, he got to be my

model while I practiced. Can you see the excitement

in his expression! What he doesn't realize is that

he gets to do this numerous more times in the future!

I want to give a shout out to the lady who has been

helping me with all this. Her name is Melissa Waller.

She is a FABULOUS photographer who has graciously

donated some time to me to show me how to work

equipment and everything else. Check out her site.

You will see my kiddo on her blog.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Sneek Peek!

My first brave subjects! This is Family S. They
were kind enough to volunteer their time so I
could snap some photos of them. They were
fun and willing to try anything. Thanks guys!

This is my favorite from the photos I snapped

with C. If this photo had sound, I swear you would

hear him playing his guitar. He was a natural and

posed so easily. I love the last one and its "urban"

feel.

Happy Halloween

Finley was a ballerina for Halloween this year. I had this

cute fairy costume picked out for her and she would NOT

let me put it on her. So, I had to improvise at 5pm on

Halloween night! Luckily, I had made her a tutu months

ago so it worked out okay and she was beautiful!

More Pics of TJ

Since I am always behind the camera, I wanted one
of Fin and I. She was in the snuggly mood.

Here is a session I did with TJ.
Sorry about the big space at the end.

This format is screwy sometimes and

I don't know how to fix it.

Pumpkin Patch

Here are a few pics from the pumpkin patch

we visited last weekend. Her friend, Rhea,

also joined us and they had a great time. When

we got home I carved the pumpkin and she was

intrigued by the seeds and pulp. I had them in a

bowl that I use to mix things when I am cooking

so she automatically thought it was time to cook,

so you will see her with a spoon in her hand "cooking"

the pumpkin stuff! She was fine with the pumpkin

then but once I lit it, she was not okay with it and

we had to tell the pumpkin good night so SHE would

go to bed!

TJ Pics

Hey everyone, just wanted to show some pics of

TJ's homecoming. He is going to turn 18 in two

weeks. I just can't believe it! Here is his girfriend,

Demi. Isn't she just beautiful? She is also very sweet

and nice. I will post some more pics that I took of him later.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE practicing on anyone who is willing

so let me know if you want some free pics of you, your family,

whatever. I really need some subjects besides my daughter

who could really care less!

Baby Update

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update. I went to the Dr. last Wednesday. Everything looked good. We saw ONE baby with a good, strong heartbeat of 167. Tomorrow I will be 9 weeks along. My due date is May 7th. YEA!!!!! I am still feeling good and so is everyone else. Enjoy the upcoming weekend!

Lacey

PS- TJ won Homecoming King!!

Hear the Good News!

Hey Everyone,

Jimmy and I are happy to announce that we are expecting another little blessing. I am around 7 weeks. My first appt is on the 24th so I will get the official due date then but it should be around the first week in May. I am feeling good, no sickness, just fatigue. Finley hasn't grasped the concept yet but she has time for that! Oh, and Jimmy is feeling fine as well, lol. Have a great week!

Labor Day

Sorry if the format is screwy, I am still
getting used to this and it doesn't
always listen to me, either! These are from
Labor Day weekend. Fin is having fun with
Dad in the race car and at Vandalia Lake
swimming.
