Yesterday, my grammy died. She went into the hospital on monday because she was having a hard time breathing, and tuesday she was getting better, on wensday she was move up to the ICU because her breathing go worse, and on thrusday we found out she had a massice tumor in her lungs, and diead 45 minutes later, with us all around her.
I'm glad that it went qick, and she wasnt in any pain, and that we were all there with her. Letting her know we all love and cherish her. And telling her she would be with grandpa soon. Wich does help.And now she is wilth all her brothers and sisters. She lost her last living brother just 2 weeks ago. So now all 10 kids are up there having a much needed family renunen. It's been 8 years sence grandpa died, and thats all she wanted in the last 8 yeas to be with him again, it's no wonder, they were married 57 years!
So the never few weeks, months are going to be, well, hetic. of course.... so much is going to change now.
I live with my mom & dad, and my grandma... we all lived together, i help her out, and whatnot. But now that's she's gone, we can't afford the house we are living in anymore.... So we having to figuare out something...
Anywho, I'm not one usually asking for prayer or good thoughts, but right now we need it.
Sorry for all the misspelled words and the hurriedness of this , but i'm sure you all quite understand...
so, yeah, I'll be here, there, everywhere for a while, poping in when i need a break from everything thats going on....
Thank you all! you are all amazing and i'm glad I have this little community to talk to!

ps. sorry about the crapy cellphone pic, I have my camera all tucked away for later, and didn't feel like digging it out! So this is what you get!! :D -
I am SO excited! This shoot was supposed to happen twice now!
The first time didn't work out because she had other plans.The seconed time, she got sick with the flu! Wich really sucked, because not only did Marc have the day off but I had an assistent to help me out! But we all get sick.
So today, everthing went wrong, so I knew it would be perfect! lol
Marc couldn't get the day off, so my dad had to drive me. And my assistent had to work. And I slept like crap...
But! We had an amazing day! Besides getting stung by a yellowjacket... lol
So, yeah, check them out! I'm so very happy with how they turned out!
Isnt my model beautiful?
I actually met her at a honkey tonk bar, I saw her dancing, and thought, she is beautiful! So I got up the courage and told her I was / am a amature photographer, and that I needed a model, and would she be into modeling for me. I never in a millon years thought she would contact me. But she did!
And amazingly enough, she's never modeled before!
So if you'd like to check more out...

I'll be adding some here and there, once I get more edited! -
So... It's been a while, and I'm sorry... Between volunteering and trying to get my own little photography business running, it's been, well, hetic!
So, last tuesday my mamma and I went around to diffrent cafe's to see if they would hang some of my photos up on their walls... I got a lot of stuck up noses, saying theirs a waiting list of 6 months, and some that just didn't care... But I did get two deffently yeses!
One place called, Flying Cat Coffee Co, said I could hang up 3, then called back later and said,7, then I got a call yesterday, the lady who had art work on the wall, took all of her's down, so now I had room for 13?!? WoW!
I had gotten some frames at GoodWill and at local garage sales, sanded them and then spray painted them flat black, bought some white matting at Michaels, and wow, they look awesome!
Today was hetic, I got my mamma and dad to help me, we put them together and all ready, we did have a few difficulities, and only ended up with 9 framed.
So we went there today to put the 9 up... And they look amazing!
I am SO happy!! My first real showing... And the lady likes my photos so much! She even asked me to take a picture of her sign, so she can get t-shirts made!
I can't belive this is all happending! It's taken so much time, but I'm getting there!
The other place that said yes, is a donut place, I have yet to get thoes ready.... So much work to do!
Even tho both places did say they have never actualy sold any art from their walls, it's still experience, and exposer! Thats all I can ask for!
So, if you happen to be in the Portland eara.... stop by!

Also, I'm tying to get a photo shoot together... It's becoming more difficult to get my vision together, especially when I have to depend on other people to help me....
Anyone want to model for me? ;) -
I wanted to thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. My grandma is doing better. She is back home with us. A little more forgetfull then before, but other then that, she's back to normal!
Also, I thought I let you all know what's new with me... Just before Mother's Day I started volunteering at a old folks / rehabilitative center. I work about 15 hours a week. It's been a lot of fun and a lot of hard work! I work with the actativies director, every other Tuesday we have an outing, and I'm responsible for 3 of them, we have craft days, bingo, and I do room visits. This last Tuesday we had a 50's Ice Cream Social, where we made them sundays and played 50's nusic and dressed up! Were always trying to find new craft ideas and things to do with them, if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
So, yeah, anywho, that's pretty much what Iv been up to...
