:: MIA ::

Ya'll have been there: moments that leave you frenzied and frayed, running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Well, that's how I feel right now ... the reason why I've been MIA from my blog. I have TONS of sessions to blog about but haven't had a chance to due to my busy schedule. I've been busy editing sessions, ordering photos, making Holiday cards, delivering photos and more. I'm hoping to be back to my regular programming next week. I hope you're having a wonderful Holiday season!

This is me right now :o)

:: twins + girl ::

How adorable are they? This is the third year that I get to photograph these gorgeous children. I love to see them grow and I'm proud to be the photographer that captures some of the wonderful changes that come with childhood.

The other day I was thinking that I'm like a grandmother to all of the children & babies I get to photograph. I play & have fun with them for a little while, then I give them back to mom & dad once they're tired and hungry. Isn't my job wonderful? :o)

:: the longest showcase ever! ::

I'm ready to share with you the wonderful photos I captured during the mini sessions at Chicky Bella! I took over 700 images that day! (Phew!) I can't believe how much fun I had with these wonderful kiddos and their family. It was very hard to choose what photos to showcase in my blog since in my opinion, they were all great! But I had to narrow it down to 3 images from each session.

I could go on all day talking about these awesome children & babies but I'll just let the images speak for themselves. I had a blast and I thank everybody for being part of Chicky Bella's mini sessions "08!!!

I rarely find little ones that want to share a kiss :o)

:: yes! e-mail is back up ::

The server move was successful and I'm happy to say that my e-mail problems have been fixed. Today was a very stressful day and I can't believe I spent it trying to fix my server issues! In addition to this, my voice mail was down for part of the day! Why do these things happen when you need them the most? Nevertheless, everything is back up and running as it should be. I just hope I didn't lose e-mails in cyberspace!

:: e-mail issues ::

Hi everyone!

I haven't been able to receive e-mails for the last couple of days due to server issues so please e-mail me at anacphotography@mac.com if needed. I'm in the process of changing Server providers since I've been having problems with my e-mails for a looong time. I'm hoping that this issue is resolved by tomorrow. I apologize if you have e-mailed me and you still haven't received a reply from me.

Thanks a bunch!

:: boys will be boys ::

I have two boys, well, they're not boys anymore since they're 15 & 17 years old. Let's call them young men. Anyway, when they were little I always wished I had a girl too. I love the dresses, hair clips, shoes, and all of the cute stuff you can buy for a girl. When I was MUCH younger I worked at a daycare, working with 1 & 2 year olds, and all of the moms loved me because I always did the girl's hair before they went home. It came to the point that all of the moms would bring hair clips and bows for me to choose which one I wanted to use for that day. My class always had the BEST looking little girls! Since I don't work there anymore, I have to conform and only do my nieces hair (which I don't have enough in my opinion lol!)

Having said that, I love my boys (young men) ... and all boys for that matter! I think they're fearless, funny and SO cool! These boys fit that description to the T! I love photographing them and capturing their different personalities. This family is one of the coolest family I have photographed in a long time!

:: freckles ::

OMG! I wish I had more time to blog about this session but I'm out the door for my afternoon shoot. However, I do have time to say how much I love this session and that I had a blast with this family! These girls are a breath of fresh air. Oh, and I LOVE their freckles!!
