But meantime.............he is hanging out here, hoping you will stop by and do a Mini with him for your Holiday Cards!

I have times left.. email me...Cupkake897@aol.com   and we'll get  you on the books!

Busy week!

A year ago I was having a crazy busy October....................going out of town in the beginnings of our "Holiday Season" was just about the craziest thing I could have done! Hahahahah! but This was why:

And even though I Had planned on going back this year ... not only because of HER... but because a good friend out in a nearby city to her, was due to give birth to an unnamed boy at around the same time, so I was going to get to see them BOTH!  But you know how those best laid plans go.......... Baby boy Levi ended up coming a little earlier than I could have made it out, and the Wallet ended up being too empty to handle the trip!  So...............I brought baby Jacque to see me instead!

So this week has been a crazy busy week, with Little Miss Thang, and her Momma ... my niece Lauren, visiting!   We are having SOOOOOOOOOO Much fun!  Laurens a great help in the kitchen... and the baby is SOoooooo good, (most of the time! hahahha) and Emily just ADORES them Both, so aside from the occassionaly wailing for a bottle at 2am, this is a happy house this week!!

We did some of the babys Birthday pictures yesterday.

  Turns out Jacque is in a really EXCELLENT mood around 7am.  At around 10am... Not. SO. Much.

Donnell, Lauren & I trailed her around the Little house for hours yesterday trying to either get her to lay down for a little nap.........or at least snap a few pictures...

and it sorta worked out for us!  We do have a few more pictures to get on some other day... (maybe today??? ) but these.........

are prettty stinking cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have this cute little black & white dress with a beret to do yet.........and then on Thursday we are having an excursion out on the Rail with them, and I have the best idea in the world for that one....but its a surprise so you will have to wait and see! And of course we have her Halloween Costume on QP day to do!!! So MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!

I have been actually doing some work this week too! ;o) (waving hi to those who are still expecting proofs!! they are coming...Im working I promise!!)  These caught my eye,

and i had to throw them up on Facebook while I was editing them........................

Isnt she gorgeous!? She lives in Oklahoma, and came down for me to do pictures for her!  We had the BEST TIME!!!!!!!! One of her outfits screamed the "City" to me so even though it was late, I made supper wait at home and took them downtown for these!!!!! ;O)) (downtown Rowlett that is!!)

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

And though I Have NOT gotten to this session yet.. I'm *seconds* from editing it I promise, Shannon!!!! I had to post this little trip down Memory lane.  This is Charlie at around 6 or 9 months...........

and here is Charlie today- at 3.

*sniffle* I love it. I want to just eat him up, don't you?  and hehehehe.. I loved his JEANS so much, I actually ordered some off line for Bob from Gap!!! (And he is wearing them today!  is it not sad that my husband wears a boys 16! hahahaha)

Blaire is 3 also. 

Its my favorite thing.. to photograph them at this age with their passie, or lovie, or as in Blairs case.....her thumb like Charlie.  Because after this.. you likely wont see this little habit much. Bigger 4 year old things start taking their places.......

like running around outside kicking a ball..............

or skipping down the sidewalk..........................

or finding gorgeous little birdie eggs out in the forest!  So make sure you catch those sweet cheeks

before they are gone!

Speaking of Gone................

Once this cutie got a look at Mater, he was GONE!!!

I had the best time following him around......

He gets the prize for most creative thing yet!!! with this little trick!  hahahaha!!! and trying to get a serious head-shot of him in the studio gave me a stitch in my side!

hahahahah!! And then his grandma pulled out her secret weapon....

 

And all things went FULL STOP and calmness ensued all 'round.  Seriously... you want your kids to sit quietly, pull out some CATALOGS!!!!!!!!!

 

I couldn't help but see a sweet little old man vision while watching him. hehehehhe!!! Isnt he just dear?

No.........HE IS DEAR!!!

One of our sweet baby clubbers came in for his 3 month session too! 

Love my rugs... they are so soft and amazing and go with so many cute oufits! heheheheh! He was definatly acting his "age" at our session ...

not wanting to do anything that didn't involve mommy or daddy talking right to him or holding him..............until we got outside that is!!!

I had saved this til the end, because they generally REALLY hate me when I put them in the grass...........but not this sweetie!! he started talking and cooing and gaaaaing...

yeah..........THIS guys gonna be an outdoorsman! ;O)

Ooh my.................I just heard baby Jacque making some noise!!!!!!!!!!! Me thinks my morning time is about UP!!!!!! oooh nooooooo!!! Better hit " POST" and get this day started!! Hope you enjoyed your sprinkles.....and just wait................there is more to come!

BIG Barter Proposals (plural)!

Alrighty.... this one is pretty big.... but I am sure two of you can do it.. or KNOW someone that can do it.... RIGHT?

I don't really believe in Diets. I think people are just supposed to eat. Nice and NORMAL food, I mean.... so I have always figured there MUST be a  combination.. a way to eat the foods so that you can eat what you want (in proportion that is...) and still be thin!  I dont eat excessively.. or drink excessively... but since I have a lot of old injuries plaguing me now in my 40's, and so very little time to spend exercising .... I need to figure SOMETHING OUT... because this is not how I want to BE!  And I have been TRYING on my own for years... with of course.. all the yo yos.. like anyone else.... and it came back to haunt me with a VENGEANCE this time.  After eating around 1500 -2000 calories a day from Jan. to June and working out at minimum 5 days a week, and walking off more then 10,000 steps a day.. I still only lost 12 pounds.  That totally SUCKED, however.. I did get down three pants sizes.  But then I got waylaid by tennis elbow. ... because that sucker HURT even when I was just walking on the treadmill, and plantar faciitis, and I stopped working out.  And guess what!!!!!!!!!!!! 14 more pounds walked their happy @$$es right back on me, in less than 3 months!!!!!!!! HELLO HOW UNFAIR WAS THAT???

So that brings me to my BIG BARTER PROPOSAL.............. I found this book:

And I really really like the philosophy behind it. It appeals to my sensibilities.... that its the COMBINATION Of food, types of food when, and how much, that all sounds nice to me.  The part I DONT GET .. is how to make it all happen. It feels very much like Science class to me... and because I grew up in Goose Creek SC, and didn't HAVE To have science in HS... the last time I was in Science class was in 8th freaking grade, and that was a LOOONG Time ago!!!!!  So I just DON'T get it.

And more to the point, I DON'T understand what to substitute with, in the event I DON'T LIKE or can EVEN TOLERATE some of the foods in the most important two weeks.  AND I don't get how to take my normal recipes and meals, and make them apply to the "code" in the after part, when you are allowed to eat your normal stuff.. only using them in the combination's set forth.  

So................. my big Barter proposal is this...I NEED A DIETICIAN ... someone who can figure that out for me... based on my recipes and stuff, and I need them to help me work it out all.  And more importantly for the first 3 weeks of getting it started I need that person to come by to help me prepare meals to make sure its all done right!

After 21 days the book has you getting back to normal... so I need that person to have helped me figure out the code with my menus and foods, so that we can maintain our life and I can eat what will work for me.

SO .......................... who out there would LOVE to barter a TON OF PICTURES & SESSIONS TO HELP ME WITH THIS?  We will blog about this on a brand new blog... and FACEBOOK It... so everyone can watch what we are doing together as a team. And if this is what you DO For a living, or are staying at home with KIDS and want to have a little business on the side... WHO KNOWS how it might turn out for you. :O) Its win win!!! 

Which brings me to my SECOND Proposal........... I need a TRAINED personal trainer with some experience with working with a client who has injuries ... to come to my house EVERY morning at 7:30 am, to train me for ONE HOUR....... on the stuff I HAVE available, based on stuff I can do with my bad knees, heel pain (which still wont go away despite a steroid shot) and general bad attitude about working out.  You will also get a TON OF PICTURES!!!!!!! and I will get over my bad attitude and get thin! WIN WIN !!! Right? 

So....................is this you? DO you know someone who can do it?  I would LOVE to put up a fun, photo filled blog about it, and share the progress with everyone. I think it would be really fun!

I'm looking to get started with this asap................ so......... Drop me an Email if you are intrigued! I cant wait to hear from you... so I can get back to looking like THIS as soon as possible... hehehehehehe!

And now....... on with what I am SURE You are all dying to see!!!!!!!A sneak peek of WACKY WILD WHITE DAY!

First of all.. here is what I love to do....... make it happen!

Donnell came to me with no idea for her daughters 9 year old pictures........ and I said "well what is she wearing?" and after seeing this shirt.. well Of COURSE.......this came to mind!! It makes my day when good things come together! And bonus!! they had fun making the pictures AND they will use them in the scrapbook pages !!! How awesome is that!?!

I also love this shirt. (handsome)

I dont know why... but I swear... I have seen this a few times in the studio and it makes me want to have another baby just so I can dress him in it!!!!!!!!! YUM!  Big brothers shirt just CRACKS ME UP.. and HELLO!!!!!!! did you SEE his Dimples!!!!! OMG!

It makes me all wobbly and teary when I think about Josh. 

I have been taking his pictures since he was like um... a baby.  Look how stinking big he is now!!!!!!!!! and Josh is also a way cool new Big brother to twin baby brothers.  Sniffle.. so wobbly.......(and old!)

Check this one out!

One of those unexplained miracle moments I tell ya.............. The fact we got a non sitting up baby's reflection in the mirror while a  (little) big sister was holding it random!!!!!!!! HOLYCOW! you know!!!!!!!!!! Love love love it!!!!!!!!  I cant wait to show momma the rest too! (yeah.. I got three I love. Sorrrreeeeee you know how it is sometimes.. I JUST CANT STOP AT ONE!)

Apparently I missed my calling as a Comedian.... hahahahah! 

Angie (another long time customer!) brought me some new Fun subjects to torture to PHOTOGRAPH I mean! hehehehe !! they were Super good sports!!!!!!!  Cant wait to see more of them in the future! * yo angie..............send me an EMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must just be hilarious to ALL BOYS !!!!! 

or At least Saturday I was! This little dude was like the counter part to my little Trinity show (why you didnt come in that little cheer outfit .. it really just breaks my heart sniffle.... sniffle...........)  He totally rocked the house! or the chair at least! hahahaha!

Oh and look............another Miracle!hahahah!!

This little dude has been quite notorious for giving me a run for my money in his little toddler hood... but now that he has a baby sibling on the way and a new *furry* sibling to play with......he is all mature and stuff!!! hahahaha!!  I LOVE this shot! the Dog, while quite hyper acting before we got started, was QUITE astute at perking up at my funny doggie noises!! LOVED her!!!  Cant wait to meet the new baby, ya'll!!!!!!!!!

These shoes..... they render me speechless.

I saw them on a News report some time back and have since had a few pairs of them grace my lens...........They just defy words! hahahah!! They are PERFECTLY Named... HEELarious!  ;o)))  I love her whole ensamble though... Dont you??? She is good baby friends (and maybe even related I cant remember but I think so???) to our other little recent blog star! 

So precious, arent they!!?

Some other loooong time customers came by................... and I have to tell you.. I have been photographing them since the oldest was a wee little one as well.............and they ALWAYS do Family photos.. which HELLOOOOO! KUDOS!!!!!!!! I applaud you!!!!!!! But wow!!!!!!!!!!!! I am running out of ways to configure them in different poses!! hahahah!

I love this one though, and LOVE the outfits!! GO Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!!  I think she also enjoyed my Oreo Cookie balls ....................a Perk for being a long time customer!! :O)

EEEEEE Teeeeeeeeeee phone home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  really!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this not hilarious!?  I photographed him first with them all sitting up around us.. then I let  him THROW them... and THEN He laid on the floor and I piled them all around him and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have been seeing his gorgeous face around here for years as well................... sniffle. Why do they  have to grow up and get so stinkin' big on me............. *sniff.  

But that brings me to this ......................... I have to tell you how much I love you. How happy I am that you support Quick n painless. That you continue to come every month or as often as you can...........and that you love what we do here and TELL others!! You are so special to us.... and we want you to know we totally appreciate you!

Now...........would you please knock off all the growing up already!  I miss all the babies!

Ok...............House is on, and I MUST GO WATCH!!!!!!!!!!! heheheheh!

Please do your thang and email me what you would like to do for christmas QP day, and volunteer for QP models!!!!!!! Cant wait to get this fall thing GOING! WOOT! 

Days and Days go by.......

I wish I could blog in my head and watch it appear down here on the computer! Wouldn't that just be da'bomb!? ha!  Instead... I have tiny pockets of time to blurb a comment on FB, edit pictures, order them, fix our meals, clean the occasional bedroom/bathroom/kitchen/do laundry, Photograph a billion sessions..... but never enough time to sit here and Re-size, Copyright, and create a blog! What the heck!  Not fair!

Anyhow.......................... I HAVE to get on the newsletter and write that soon... but I am working on my holiday ideas...........so as soon as I have them, I will post a Grand, Fabulous, full of Information Newsletter!  But til then.............. I'm afraid you'll have to make do with my little random posts!    Oh, and in case you didn't know.......I AM on Face book... just type in Photography by Cupcake and Become a FAN! I tend to update that post first, since I don't have photos to post.. hahahaha... and its quick and easy since its open all day long. (really............. It is!! but I am working on the other facets of my life in the foreground.. its really just background.... at least that's what I am telling myself........... I need AA for FB ... seriously................)  Its a great way to keep up with whats going on .... and I love reading your comments!! 

I DID spend a vast amount of time today however, updating the Quick n painless page....... and creating new holiday cards........

(not our card family members... hahahah you will have to wait and see...)

and making busy with some orders that were waiting patiently in my folder though!
 So make sure you pop on the website and check out Wacky Wild White day info.........and click on the word CUSTOM on my website, and then ANNOUNCEMENTS to see the New (and last years) Holiday cards! For some reason on my site if you click on the current holiday cards you get valentines.. and I deleted those.. so I am not sure what that is all about.. so click on the word ANNOUNCEMENTS! ok!   

Holiday Cards are 15% off from now until October 31, 2009................ so its a great time to get an early jump on the season! And at Wacky Wild white day, you can also get enlargements 11x14 and larger (THINK HOLIDAY GIFTS!!) for 25% ! Good only for that day!!!   So plan on ordering that day!

If you need any suggestions for the day........or have any questions about QP day... just drop me an e at Cupkake897@aol.com.  Goodness knows........I live on this laptop... so I should be getting right back to you!

I smell supper getting done in the oven...........best go check!  Scalloped potatoes and ham tonight........I know.. not very "Labor Day"-ish... hahahaha..... but I am just trying to urge that cold weather to coming on down and staying for a while.  It cant hurt right?
