Well hello everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some of you may have noticed that my blog and site have been down for several days. Honestly, seemed like weeks. Some awesome person out there in web space was just so bored one night and decided to hack into my files and insert all kinds of evil little things. Gotta love it! But all is well now and things seem to be behaving.

I still have several sessions to share with you from our crazy before Christmas season, but i wanted to share a few of the kids and friends when we got our HUGE blizzard! If you dont live around here, you may be thinking -oh wow they got a blizzard- well actually we didnt. We never get much snow here its kinda upsetting. Well this year the weatherman was 90% sure we were going to get at least 2 inches of snow, that is alot for here! For days that is all they talked about, school was closed the night before, yes before one flurry was ever seen!! We were all soooo excited. Well we get up and nothing, then around the morning it finally snowed a little, i mean a very very little, didnt even cover the grass. So we made the best of it and at least in these pics it looks like alot!!

I have very busy preparing for 2010 and working on lots of new products and things for you guys! Stay tuned. I will be announcing our Spring Mini Sessions very soon. They will fill up very quickly so be ready!!

well im sorry i have been so non existent on the blog. life has just taken over and the blog gets the last bit of time i have. we have had the busiest fall season ever, thanks to our Lord and of course all of you amazing people! i know i say it alot, but i am just so overwhelmed with the blessings! meeting and getting to know all of you is simply amazing. the kindness, love and beauty you all have shown to me is so unexpected and i am forever grateful. i do know that God put me where i am, gave me this talent and ability to do what i love, and that fact that it blesses so many others is just icing on the cake!! i fall madly in love with all of the children that i photograph and i hope that shows through the lens, they are all, each and everyone so special and such a lil miracle. so simply put, thank you! thank you for opening up your front doors and allowing me to visit into your lives. capturing your babes and your love is what i strive for and to give you a timeless gift to cherish always.

i have sooo many sessions to blog, so you will see me more coming soon. we are officially closed for the year. we still have a few orders we are wrapping up and finishing. if you need us please email, as i will not be checking voicemail as often. we will reopen late january, after much needed rest and family time. my kids are getting ready to be suffocated with some MommyLovin !!

we have already started booking appts for Spring 2010! I am working on some new fun things for this year so get ready!!

love you all.

just wanted to stop in really quick before i am off for a few days! yeah!! i must admit i have been soooo busy that this Holiday season has just creeped up on me so fast!! i am so excited to stop, breathe and smell my family again, even for just a short while! we will eat. laugh. be lazy. eat more. and just enjoy each other. and. of course. lots of shopping!! i will return to work very quick after the weekend to finish up all of our orders, sessions and meetings!

enjoy your thanksgiving. i am so thankful for all of you. for you. for you sharing your families with me!!

God bless you all!

hello everyone. i can only say im so sorry for being gone for sooo long! here at MJSTUDIO things are a wee bit nuts!! this time of year is always busy but this year has just been a weeeeee more crazy! the rain as pushed alot of sessions later and later plus we have had alot of reschedules due to illness. we are printing beautiful prints, canvases and so many awesome christmas cards! this week we sent out over 20 orders all packaged and purty!! my goal is still to close the studio around dec.13th so until then we will be busy lil bees. we had a blast at the franklin pumpkinfest, met a ton of new clients and captured some amazing lil costumed babes, thanks to all of you who stopped by to see us!! i am afraid in all of this there is a lil bit of bad news……we cant fit anymore sessions into 2009, i have squeezed people in to any lil corner i could and there just is no more space. i hate hate hate turning away clients and just feel awful when they sound so disappointed, today i had to turn down over 8 people..im sooo sorry! the other bad news is…i will not be able to do the christmas special on dec. 3rd that i was soo hoping to do. With things being so pushed back there just is no way i could get them all done before christmas. i do plan on doing some sort of special..just not sure when, but i will!! so please accept my apologies as i know several of you were excited about that. i will make it up to you. promise.

i will update as soon as i can. back to work. love to you all~

here is one of the beautiful high school seniors i had the pleasure of working with!
