winner, winner!

 It's time to give away some boots! I put all my entries in my Corral Vegas boot by Country Outfitter and decided to take the pressure off by making my boys draw the winner. Campbell held the boot while Wilson closed his eyes mixed up the entries and drew.....

 MY BROTHER!!!!! I have checked and this is fair game, my family was encouraged to enter. I truly can't believe it and am so excited that my brother, or more likely my sister in law, will get to rock some Country Outfitter boots with me. He was always super lucky.

Another great big thank you to Country Outfitter for my awesome boots and the opportunity to do this giveaway....so fun!

bloggers with boots

 In September when I headed out to Arkansas Women Bloggers Unplugged I was secretly less excited about a blogging conference and was more excited about spending a weekend away with a few of my favorite girlfriends. I was pleasantly surprised to find the conference very helpful and entertaining and in a completely unexpected surprise I made some new friends too. So when we returned home to Central Arkansas Alison and I threw together a little photo shoot for the bloggers in boots, new friends and old friends from central AR. It was about 300 degrees outside so we turned the truck around and enjoyed a refreshing summertime cocktail. It was a night filled with laughter, boots, and bacon (Petit Jean, of course) and it all ended with seven very sweaty women jumping in a friend's pool.

Today is the last day to enter my boot giveaway so it had me reminiscing about all the fun that these Country Outfitter boots have brought into my life.
A big thank you to Country Outfitter!
Now go enter and win some boots....maybe even tell your husband to enter. He could look good in boots or gift them to you. 
Christmas is one month from today.

christmas cards and deadlines

SO excited to share these new Christmas card options for 2012. I am still offering my cards from 2011 and 2010, but have these fun new designs as well. These templates are for 5x7 flat or folded cards (a 4x6 flat card can be made and mailed as a postcard with $0.28 postage). The colors and text on these cards are customizable and can be matched to your photos. Another great option is to do one side of the card as a full photo and pick one of these templates for the other side of the card.

Cards include envelopes and are sold in sets of 25

folded cards......$3 per card

Now is a great time time to go ahead and order cards if your proofs are already up. Printing will take approximately 5-7 business days.

My 2012 cutoff for all ordering is December 8.

thanks!

 Since it's so close to Thanksgiving I thought it only appropriate for me to share something I am thankful for.....I am so thankful that even though in November and early December I have to work a little on Saturdays I get to do a lot of it my pjs, like now, and that I have such amazing clients that make me smile. It's a pretty great job to get to laugh with people.

happy saturday!
and even though this post has nothing to do with boots i would love it if you would stop by my boot giveaway...8 days left to enter!

in-laws in boots (arkansas couples photographer)

When we signed up for the AR women blogger's conference and were offered the amazing boots from Country Outfitter I was crazy jealous that Alison would be getting a second pair of boots, she had already received a pair at Bean to Blog. I asked her what she would pick? Instead of shopping for herself she had her eye on a pair for her dad's birthday. Since we often do gifts together it was a great deal for me and my part was going to be a great boot shoot with my in-laws, really more of a gift for us.

We had one afternoon to take photos between us all going separate ways, but it started pouring rain about 20 minutes before we were set to shoot. At the last minute we decided to just go for it anyway and hope for the best, and I am so glad we did. The results were some great color and even a little fun with umbrellas and puddles.

If you are reading this post and wishing you could get your hands on a pair of these cutie boots you are in luck! Check out my boot giveaway sponsored by Country Outfitter.
