Welcome 2011...

2010 is now a thing of the past...I had a very difficult year personally as 2010 brought a lot of drama, sadness and heartache. I lost another cousin in December when she was still in the the beginning stages of her adult life. Sadly Rachel was only 23 yrs old and just recently achieved her dream of becoming a teacher. She taught first grade at Herrara Elementary School in Houston Texas. A brain aneurysm caused her to be on life support due to no brain activity and sadly her mom had to make the decision to take Rachel off of life support on Dec 23. So needless to say Christmas and New Years were sad due to the funeral services and what have you. Along with the sadness came some joy in knowing that Rachel had achieved her lifelong dream of becoming a teacher and I'm positive she had a great impact on her students and left in their dear little hearts and minds much wisdom. Nothing can convince me otherwise after being privileged enough to read the heartfelt letters her 1st graders sent to my Aunt Linda and and a new year has arrived full force...Since 2010 went out like a Lion roaring and growling and snarling we hardly noticed 2011's sweet gentle Lamb like arrival. Here's to hoping for a year filloed with love, financial stability, and great memories!

Falling for fall...

There are just some things that you don't want to miss. Fall in my beloved beautiful Smoky Mountains is one of those things...Seeing all of the beautiful colors in the trees and landscape is breath taking. The days are growing shorter and the air has a crispness to it that you can't mistake for anything but fall. There are pumpkin patches and corn mazes springing up everywhere, not to mention the haunted trails and the Halloween decorations in all of the stores. I love everything about Fall. The candy corn, and the pumpkin rolls, the smell of cinnamon and apple...The Fall festivals always have something for everyone. Fall just seems to be a time of year when everything seems so carefree , it's a great time to make special memories with your loved ones. From now until Nov. 30th I'm doing Fall portrait packages for $75.00. For that $75.00 you will get a one hour portrait session at the location of your choice any where within 50 miles of Knoxville.
