Hello, Bon Jour, Bienvenido

Welcome to my new blog home! I am so excited about my new little creation parked in my very own space on the big WWW. Back in August 2006 I created a blog on blogger. I created it knowing I was the only one reading it. Today, I have over 10,000 readers a month checking in. I have shared sessions, personal stories, laughter, and tears. Thanks for coming along this very interesting journey. Each one of you have become part of this story. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Life Unposed was a thought I had the summer of 2007. It was the same night I thought I should open a studio. Needless to say, it was a monumental night in my life. Then one Sunday night in May 2008 I thought of some more crazy things. A new blog, a new senior site, and a new wedding site. Keep checking back in to monitor my progress. Happy Reading and Be Good!

{Keeping up}

November 14, 2008 – 9:07 pm

I’m getting there.  I think I need four more days in order to catch up completely.  Here are some previews.

Yesterday, the Eason Family came by for a quick session. Little Drew has some of the best expressions.

Later the Creech boys came in with their new dog LuLu.  Lulu did a great job considering she was just a puppy.

Today, I started off at the Arboretum with the Sciple Sisters.  It was GORGEOUS out at the Arboretum.  I really do think that Fall there rivals the spring with the tulips.

Then I hurried home so I could photograph the Curtis family.  Were they ever a ton of fun.  They were one of those families full of laughter.

Be Good!!

Friends are there when it seems like everyone else is gone.  Friends stand in as parents when we can’t.  Friends include you in on those special traditions that have gone on for years and years.

And friends will call you out when you haven’t posted their pictures on the blog.  I LOVE YOU CAROLYN.

Be Good!!

My messages.. my visitors… my e-mails all have one common denominator, “Where have you been”

Let’s see, hmmmmmmmm….. The last two weeks can basically be summarized by either a camera attached to my eye or me attached to a computer. 

Tuesday - I took a technology break for a couple of hours and attempted to put up my Christmas tree at the studio.  Have you ever seen someone make something simple… complicated?  I am a whiz at photoshop.  I can troubleshoot most of my own issues.  I can work on three separate computers simultaneously. Putting up a BRAND NEW pre-lit Christmas Tree translates to Brain Surgery for me.  Cindy at the Dove’s Nest saw me twice taking break from the tree.  I changed out fuses, took out bulbs. Unplugged each strand and connected it directly to the extension chord.  ALAS…. three hours later….. DIRECTIONS.  Connect A to B, B to C, D to E.  Plug in and VOILA a tree with lights. GRRRRRRRR. I wish I would have documented my progress. 

Fight the lights for 2 hours.  Threw the ornaments on the tree TWICE.  Decided to call Christi and asked her to help me.  Christi works her magic - Carolyn, strolls by the studio and she is SUCKED in.  She adds her magic.  At the end of the day a beautiful Christmas tree emerges.

So today I am staying up late for my faithful readers who feel deserted, incomplete, and disconnected without a picture and a post.  I have been guilted into posting today. 

So in no particular order I am going to post some of my sessions. There’s a lot.  I think I should be able to keep up now.

The Morgan Family…  one of the best group of kids I have photographed. They meant business!

The Truetts above and below.  See my new Christmas Tree,  it photographs beautifully.

The Gregory Kids above and Below (more tree - you’ll be seeing a lot of it until Christmas!

Allie had her senior pictures taken at her house.  Like I say… no one else will have pictures like her.

James Bishop, who we tried endlessly to make smile.  Doesn’t matter… still is a cutie with or without a smile.

Beautiful Whitney….  patiently waiting her baby.

If it looks like he is getting ready to slide off… it is because he was.  Though he never did , he liked to hang out like that.

 

Be Good!!

{The Ellyson Grandchildren}

November 12, 2008 – 2:47 pm

I suppose I like challenges.  Though I have to say, I anticipated 6 more adults in this picture when I arrived at Loma Linda.  I quickly learned it was going to be only the grandchildren and grandparents and four adults acting like lunatics behind me to get the children to look my direction and laugh.  I wish someone had taken a video.

The first time I met Mrs. Ellyson I knew she was everything a grandmother is supposed to be, sweet and full of love.

Conner, an active one year old who is scared of loud trains in Downtown Waxahachie….. ooops.  I think he had fun running away from the photographer and playing in the leaves :)

Good night!

    Great picture! If I didn’t know better, I would have thought he posed for that! Can’t wait to see the rest!

{Katie- Midlothian 2009}

November 5, 2008 – 11:16 pm

This was the first session to test my back.  Those of you who have had a session with me know - I roll around in the dirt, hang from trees, and become a contortionist to get the shot.  I was a little slow.

Katie is such a nice girl, beautiful eyes and hair.  All the girls coming to me are just stunning.  I don’t understand how one school can have so many beautiful people.
