This is the fourth time I’ve photographed the Morrow’s and everytime is wonderful. I love working with Katy because she is so organized and plans out every detail, making my job easy for me to concentrate on taking the pictures. Their little boy turned one in February and here is one sneak peek for you.
More to come after next week. I will be going out of town to Vegas for a photo conference. I’m very excited to see some friends, but it will be hard this time because I have Ben and Benson staying behind. Also, my grandma is very very sick and has been in the hospital for about two weeks now. Please keep her in your prayers.
This morning I woke up in a [panic] because I remembered I wanted to update my Senior Music playlist. I don’t know names of songs, or music artist and I was having a hard time thinking of great songs that make ya want to dance. Thanks for facebook because I had lots of people give their suggestions, creating a very fun and energetic playlist for my two H.S seniors today.
Here are some from the playlist people suggested:
Another One Bites the Dust-Queen
Rapper’s Delight-Sugarhill Gang
Barracuda-Fergie
Tik Tok-Ke$ha
Down-Jay Sean
According to You-Orianthi
Thank you so so much friends for your suggestions.
First senior is Laura-beautiful girl and sweet family
Second senior is Stephany-she is the senior who won the senior giveaway back in the fall. Another beautiful girl with a great dad and supporting boyfriend 
Today while Benson has been sleeping, I have gone through some of my family, kids, babies, and maternity sessions to update my portrait website.
Go check it out! You might be on there if I’ve done a session for you!

And yesterday I had a session with one of the sweetest little boys. He would hug on me and climb up in my lap while I was taking his pictures. Such a sweet heart. He reminded me of my little BB.

Yesterday I had an awesome family session. They brought hula-hoops and wiggled their hips. It was way fun! Mike (husband/dad) even said he had fun and never wants to go back to a studio with someone posing them again. I think I succeeded when you hear that comment coming from the dad Thanks Morris family. More later…
If you are interested in booking a session, here are some FAQs that will help make the process easier. If there is anything you think should be added, please let me know. I want to make it as easy as possible for you lovely clients.

And a picture…
This is Benson after waking up from his afternoon nap.
This past weekend we celebrated Benson’s 2nd birthday party, Polar Bear style. The reason for a polar bear party: he sleeps with a stuffed polar bear, and calls it PB. He loves it dearly and doesn’t go far with out it. (picture below)
Family and friends made it a wonderful time for us and Benson. He was SO excited for the first group of people, and even pulled chairs out for the ladies. (no lie!) Then the second group of peeps came and he got a little emotional. I don’t think he knew what to do with all these people in his house. And then by the time everyone was there he was SO excited. All the kids played with Benson’s toys and the adults watched and visited. He LOVED the cake and he wasn’t the only one.
Details of the cake:
Made by Kerri Davis- Clovis, NM (thank you)
Polar Bear Cake-made from vanilla cake with buttercream frosting
polar bears legs and iceberg-made from rice krispy treats with buttercream frosting (MY FAVORITE)
It makes us sad and happy that he is getting older. Sad because he isn’t our little baby anymore (even though we still call him that) and happy that he is growing and learning so many new things each day.
Words he says:
I wuv oo
kiss
hug
Chevy and Bailey (our dogs)
I hungby (hungry)
I happy
ow-side
pay (play)
meek (milk)
nie-nie (night night)
PB and BB (polar bear and blanket)
djooce (juice)
cheese for mac-m-chz
And someone, I honestly don’t know who because I can guarantee I didn’t teach him this, is he says cheese when you take his picture. I’m thinking MDO or Children’s Center taught him. And let me just say, I have a bone to pick with you people.
Max
Cooz (Cruz)
He counts too!
Sings Itsy Bitsy Spider and loves the woosh part
Cow
Horse
puppy
monkey
And these are just a few. His vocabulary is growing and growing and he shows us love like we never knew.
Benson, mommy and daddy love you so much! Thanks for all the singing and dancing and constant hugs. muaw muaw.
Trying to stay inspired…
I just received this email today and wanted to say thank you to Amy-Rose. It was very encouraging to me and makes me happy to know someone is praying blessings over me.
“Hey-I just discovered your website through another photographer friend who keeps up with your stuff. I just want to say how much I’ve enjoyed your work. I pray God continues to bless you in all that you do. Thanks for the inspiration and fresh sense of style!
Amy-Rose”
