baylee-class of 2010

August 27, 2009

if there is one thing i love shooting it is senior!!!  baylee is my 2009-2010 rep from northridge.  this girl is amazing!  she spent some time in peru over the summer working in an orphange and most likely will go back after she graduates.  how cool is that?  plus she is the student body president at northridge this year!  and not to mention gorgeous!!!  i was so excited to do her pictures and i love the way they turned out!  if you are a senior this year and want some awesome and unique pictures, be sure to hit baylee up for a card good for $25 off your next session!  (you may have to wait a week or so because i still need to get them to her:), but until then you can just email me and i will confirm with her that she knows you :) Also be sure to join my seniors group on facebook   keep watching, i have some more senior reps coming up!   book your session now because they will fill up fast!!!

*FOUND* are you my momma?

August 7, 2009

* I AM HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT CHLOES “DAD” CAME AND GOT HER TODAY.  HE HAD BEEN OUT OF TOWN AND HADN’T SEEN THE SIGNS UNTIL TODAY.  WE WILL MISS HER BUT WERE HAPPY TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP OUT SUCH A SWEET PUPPY.  THERE WERE SOME TEARS FROM JAYDE BUT WE KNOW SHE IS HAPPIER WITH HER FAMILY*

 

we found the sweetest dog ever on tuesday and are desperately trying to find her momma.  we think her name is chloe. we found her on 6000 south in roy utah running across the busy road and railroad tracks.  being the sap that i am, i picked her up because i was worried she was going to get hit.  i called the vet and they told us her name and tried to call the number they had on file, but it was a wrong number.  i took her in to get her scanned for a microchip and they couldn’t find one.  if anyone has any info at all, please email me or call me.  801.710.9646 thanks!!!!  she is so sweet and i am sure someone is extremely worried about her.dsc_0510
