I posted some pics from my session with the Dixon family on my Photo Blog!
Today.
Reading with my little Shaye-Shaye. Its a favorite part of my afternoon. I watch her face. She is beautiful. She is smart. You can almost see her brain learning. She is my baby. And my heart loves her so much. Its a wonderful winter afternoon when I get to curl up with her and read a few good books on my big king size bed and let the afternoon sun pour in on us and warm us a bit.
Now off to finish the rest of my day, which includes:
~ cleaning up the house
~ picking up the children from various places around town
~ making dinner
~ listening to some of my favorite Christmas songs, while I work around the house
~ helping little Gabi with her science experiment
~ pondering on my upcoming talk in Sacrament meeting
~ bathing little girls and kissing them and tucking them in tight
~ starting another load of laundry, and thinking about the mounds to be folded and put away
~ doing another load of dishes
~ admiring my lovely Christmas tree glowing in the evening hours
~ and hopefully ~ curling up with Chad to watch Survivor from last night
How do you spend your afternoons? Are you as blessed as me?
(Shaye reading to me - "If you give a Cat a Cupcake" - one of our favorites.)

The Wallberg Family
There are a few pics from my shoot with the cute Wallberg family over on my PHOTO BLOG. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
My Sis.
A few weeks ago, my sister Cindee brought her darling little Corey out for a photo shoot. I can't tell you how much these 2 people mean to me! I honestly can't imagine life without them. She is always up for an adventure with me!
She has always supported me 100% in everything I do, and in fact, she was one of many who encouraged me to become a professional photographer... AND, true story, she and her husband designed my first website and surprised me with it one day when business cards showed up in my mailbox, with my name and info, and a website address - ( jennifer lynne photography, at the time) - and you can imagine how surprised I was when I clicked on there and found a website devoted to my photography. "Jenny, you are so talented with that camera, you should be doing this professionally!" she said. Well, that was about 4 or 5 years ago now, and the rest is history.
We have a lot of laughs together and I love her to death. Her little mister is a mini version of my Dad, and he is just about the cutest baby boy you'll ever meet with a personality to match.
I hope everyone is lucky enough to have a sister or friend like Cindee in their lives! You can see more of her and Corey's shoot over on The Shoot Shoppe Blog!

Homecoming 2010.
I'm back from my little get-away to the Gulf Coast (pictures coming soon) and I am trying to get back to work! I am so behind on editing and blogging my recent sessions! (What's new, right?) Here are some photographs of my cool cat Jordan, and his date Minden from the night they went to the Homecoming Dance a few weeks back. They are both darling, amazing, talented, smart and so totally awesome in every way. I was so glad when they asked if I would do their pictures. I know I am a little biased, but how dang cute is my boy?? He is such an amazing teenager. How on earth did I get so lucky?? He stands at 6'1" now. So stinkin' cute! OK - enough of the mommy bragging. Here are a few of my favorite shots from our session. We took these downtown and they brought their guitars for some of the shots. SO FUN! I am TOTALLY IN LOVE with the 4th picture down - (Minden with her guitar and Jordan in the background.) Definitely one of my most favorite shots I have ever taken. Man, I love this kid!

A Mummy with Integrity.
(Some of my Young Women at the Temple)
This past summer, I was called to be the Young Women President in my ward. I have loved it so much! I can't believe how busy it is... and how much fun we have had... and how much I have learned... and how much I have grown... already in these short 3 months! I feel so lucky to be around such amazing teenage girls, who are facing so much temptation and adversity in their lives. They are such strong, beautiful girls!
Recently we had a "VALUE" Trick-or-treat activity. We went around to all the leaders homes and had short lessons on all the different Young Women values. At my house, I taught about Integrity. Every value has a color associated with it, as well. Integrity's color is purple. So, for my treat, I wanted to include something HALLOWEEN and something PURPLE. Here is what I did: Purple Mummy's!
(I got the idea from one of my favorite blogs!)
I know you don't usually see mummy's that are purple... And they kind of turned out looking like Arabian bandits instead of mummy's... Ha Ha! But, I thought they turned out kinda freaky, and kinda cute! The girls LOVED them and so did my own kids. My daughters were thrilled to have a scary drink in their lunch boxes the next day! (There is a purple Gatorade under the mummy wrappings). And thank goodness for my superman Chad who helped me wrap all of these!
I also gave the girls a little scroll, tied up with a purple spider. It went along with my message about integrity. Having integrity - (being honest and having strong moral principles) is probably the greatest character trait we can have, don't you think?
Inside my scroll:
TELL THE TRUTH!
And avoid getting caught in a web of lies.
I am striving to be a mummy with integrity! And I am striving to raise children who have integrity and honor, who are honest, trustworthy, fair, and who have strong moral values. Hope you are having a Happy Halloween week!
