Waiting.....

Sorry I haven't posted anything for my most recent sessions. I am getting a new blog (yippee!) and here is what I've been doing while waiting (patiently) for it to be installed. I have been thinking about getting a new blog for about 8 months so it is hard to wait!

A family full of love - Chapel Hill Photographer

One of the nicest familes ever brought in their dog Enzo and their very well-behaved boys for some photos together. Although Enzo is fighting cancer, he is full of life and just as sweet as can be. It was easy to see that this family is full of love and kindness. I'm sending Enzo wishes for good health for a very long time.

Max + his owners = S O C U T E !!! (Chapel Hill photographer)

You know when you meet someone and they are so cute you can hardly stand it? Well that is Max- with a most lovely set of dog eyes and an expressive sweet face. And Max's owners are also the cutest couple. I was so glad to meet them!

Have you seen a Havanese? (Chapel Hill photography)

A sweet Havanese came in during the Haiti fundraiser. I didn't know what a Havanese was before he came in and when I met him, I was so impressed. This adorable pup had a great personality-just really nice and sharp as a tack.

I forgot to mention before that some of the people who came to the Haiti fundraiser heard about it from Max's dogwash. I take our dogs there for "hairdos" and I really like the people there a lot. The owner not only grooms dogs, but also runs Best Buddies Animal Rescue http://www.bbcra.org/ and there are always several dogs at the shop who are up for adoption. They are truly dog lovers there. If your dog needs a new "do" in Northern Chatham County, you should go there http://www.maxsdogwash.com/

One (unembarassed) Luv Bug (Chapel Hill Photographer)

Well, I tried to embarrass my sons by putting "luv bug" and "cutie pie" chocolate pops in their lunch boxes. Here is my youngest boy, very happy to be known as a "luv bug". My 13 year old, who I REALLY wanted to embarrass, managed to hide his chocolate pop before any friends saw it, and my 10 year old didn't even notice it! Oh well, I'll try again-April fool's day is not far off!

More puppy love!

Lily is just a "bucket of love" -so friendly and sweet- and very photogenic. I am totally crazy for fluffy dogs.

I was glad to meet her (and her very nice owners) during the Haiti fundraiser.

They found out about the fundraiser when they were in Phydeaux. If you have any pets at all, you should visit this store-it's a REALLY good pet store -it's quirky & doesn't have the impersonal feel of the large chain petstores. To find it, visit http://www.phydeauxpets.com/.

My evil plan...

I'm not sure why, but the 50% off after holiday sale is irresistable to me.

So today, I found something fun while grabbing lunch at The Fresh Market (which by the way, if you have not been there, it's great! I love their wrap sandwiches! Take a look at their good lunch stuff at http://www.thefreshmarket.com/stores/store_locationsDetail.aspx?StoreID=83 . yum!)

Anyway, I found these chocolate pops at the Fresh Market which are sure to totally embarrass 2 out of my 3 sons when they find them in their lunch boxes. Yay! I think moms have to give their kids loads of love but it's also good to make them say "MOM!" (in an exasperated tone) every once in a while!
