Family Photos

Last Saturday, the Ashby's came to visit. We took them out to the Gilcrease Orchard in Las Vegas to do a photo shoot with their family and ours. It went really well!! This girls are just darling and have loads of personality!

We are still working on some marketing strategies for our new little photography business. We loved how great Wyatt's pictures turned out (see prior post) that we got to thinking. What if we took some Halloween pictures and approached the orchard about letting us do a mini photo shoot there for their patrons the day before Halloween? Give them a cut of the profits...win for them (they could draw in a bigger crowd and make some extra money) and a win for us (we could take advantage of their huge email fan base and get some free advertising....not to mention some return clients! (hopefully)...and some extra money for us, of course). So we took some pictures of the girls in their Halloween costumes and sent an offer on over to the orchard. I'm really hoping they say yes!!

Later that same day, we got together with Jim and Anne and took some Bell family photos. They too turned out great! It was a great weekend and so much fun to just visit with family :)

New Found Love

Wyatt has found a new happiness in climbing in and/or on things. I'm really bad about keeping my camera handy, so I've only been able to catch a glimpse of what he has really got into. But, the times that I do remember to pull out the camera, he totally hams it up and puts on his Mr. Cheese face.

I LOVE IT!

Laundry baskets beware...this kid will spend minutes at a time climbing in and out...all the while gabbing to anyone that will listen.

Car seat...

Dishwasher...just as quickly as I load the dishes in, he's unloading them and laying them on the kitchen floor for me. Such a helper!

Baskets...

And my personal favorite: He loves to dip...doesn't matter what it is, if he can dip it, we are sure to get at least 20 minutes of peace a quiet. Well, on this particular occasion, I put some sour cream on his tray to see if he liked it. First thing he did was dip his fingers in it and then proceeded to paint his hair...all the while laughing at himself! (I love his expression)

The Zoo!

I took Wyatt to Tucson last weekend all by myself. He totally surprised me with how well behaved he was! He was only fussy the first 30 minutes of the trip and the last 30 minutes. I swear kids have an internal alarm that lets them know it's time to turn on the fuss when there is such a short amount of time left in the drive!

We went on a little adventure to the zoo in Tucson. It was Wyatt's first time and there was so much, we only got through half of it!

Good thing we're going back in November!

It's Official!

After squeezing every last second out of nap times, should have taken a shower times, housework is screaming, "these dishes/floors/clothes aren't gonna clean themselves woman!" times and oh so many more....I FINALLY decided to stop ripping my hair out and consider the new website a success...or at least a successful work in progress :)

Rapture Photography is official!
You can now visit us at www.rapturephotographystudio.com.

So please...help us pass on the word! We are just itching to get started!

The Pumpkin Patch

We took Wyatt on Saturday to pick his first pumpkins at a pumpkin patch here in Las Vegas.

He is the PERFECT little subject for photographs :) He had the time of his life!
