Bear with me :)

I have been very busy the past few weeks and have many more ahead of me :) Jesse has been approved for the Reserves (nothing is official in the military though), we plan on moving to Washington in the spring if everything goes as planned. Jesse is not leaving for Afghanistan because they canceled half of the orders for next weeks deployment, YEAH!!! I am currently one armed due to Ulnar nerve surgery this past week. We are also getting the house ready to be put on the  market.  If I don't post for a week or two I haven't disappeared just busy:) We do have plans in a few weeks to visit Kentucky, so look forward to some traveling pictures. Have a great week everyone!

My Favorite Season!

Two weeks ago I took my family to the local pumpkin patch. The kids had a blast , especially Jorja because her papa nicknamed her pumpkin. She thought everything was hers. The thing i loved the most was the cotton bouncy house, there is no way we would see that in Washington. Jorja is afraid of scare crows and Israel is the official taste tester in the house:) If you're interested in visiting the patch it's outside Caledonia.

2009 Race for the Cure Team Cox!

Last year, in Boise Idaho, was my first Race for the Cure. I walked in honor of my Grandma Virginia Oursland who was currently undergoing treatment at the time. I was joined by my wonderful friends and 18 month old daughter Jorja. We didn't run, but walked because I was 8 months pregnant at the time:) This year I am sadly walking in memory of my Grandmother who passed away a few weeks ago.

Helen's Kitchen

This project by far has been my favorite!!!

Not only did I meet Helen Karriem and her wonderful family, but I had the chance to taste everything :) Helen opened her restaurant on the corner of 7th and 15th street back in 1988. She cooks every southern dish you can think of, but with her own personal touch. The peach cobbler is the best I have ever had and I can't get over her chicken. I have fell in love with turnip greens:) Helen's food is great, but what I love the most about her is her wonderful smile and personality. I hope you enjoy the photos and go visit  Helen's Kitchen 708 15th St N Columbus, MS.

A friend walked by when I was uploading this photo of meatloaf. He stopped and had to comment about how good it looked:)

Paul | 2010 Senior

Paul is a 2010 Kittitas High School Senior! He is also my little brother:) Paul is an awesome athlete and college student. Taking his pictures was really fun and a great brother sister bonding moment. He is the middle child of seven, so he is more grown up then most teenagers, to say the least:) I wish him the best and great things are in his future.

Modern "Glamour Shots"

Okay so I'm not talking about portraits like this one:) yah yah!!!!   

I think everyone should have an up to date beautiful picture of them self. I think Glamour shots are a joke:) Make-over photography is so not my idea of a great photo, but beautiful natural shots I'm into. Just with some unique natural lighting and a perky attitude you can create great photos. I especially think if you are a business person that you should have up to date photos of yourself. No joke, when we were looking for a realtor this lady had a 1988 glamour shot as her profile picture! And it's nice to have a fun photo for facebook or MySpace. Get those 10 year old pictures off and update already:)

If you decide to have a personal portrait done by a pro it can be a fun and funky or as modern and professional as you want. Portraits are not just for high school seniors!

When you get your family Christmas photos done this year make sure you get a few snapshots of everyone by themselves too.

Summer Fun in Vantage

When I went back to Washington in August I just had to take the kids to Vantage Washington. When my family first moved to Washington from Montana we lived in Vantage, right on the Columbia River. I loved it and the summers were so fun. We would come to the state park beach every single day to swim and play in the sand. Other then the occasional Gorge concert it was a quiet place.

Jorja and Israel had so much fun! When we got down to the water Israel ran right in, it shocked me. He didn't even act like there was a temperature change in the river. Jorja automatically clung to her Aunt "Monkey" Michel and went out too. Israel ate so much sand; you think he would have stopped after the first bite icky! I'm so glad I got to take my children to one of my favorite childhood spots.

Dusty & Janel | Part II

Janel and Dusty are so fun and they were so excited! I love taking photos of any kind of wedding, but the younger couples are my favorite. They're so giddy and overwhelmed, I think its beautiful! Congratulations to Dusty & Janel !!!

This was the same church that the bride's parents were married in too.

Candid photos are the best kind and here is a beautiful moment of the bride's.

You can't be in Montana with out some NRA members :)

The flower girl and ring bearer, little ones are so fun at weddings.

Very fun wedding party !

I love these next few photos by the lake. They are so romantic and gorgeous.

I just love this photo!

It's so romantic how they're looking into each other's eyes.

Some photos are just better in black and white.

Dusty & Janel | Part I

I had the wonderful opportunity to take Dusty and Janel's wedding photos on August 8Th. They had their wedding in beautiful Kalispell Montana, with a reception to follow on the lake.
