First of all I want to thank those of you who have left comments! It's nice to know that my words aren't floating out there unread!<br /><br />After my last post about my busy Thanksgiving weekend, my December didn't slow down. The first weekend of December held a Friday night wedding, a Saturday night corporate party in Kansas City, and a Sunday afternoon family session (will share images soon).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYH9Fz-vZkI/AAAAAAAAASc/aTCv4mvcw8c/s1600-h/Egbert+Wedding032.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYH9Fz-vZkI/AAAAAAAAASc/aTCv4mvcw8c/s400/Egbert+Wedding032.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296792913058948674" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYH95iQZ28I/AAAAAAAAATc/77Flyi3CI2E/s1600-h/PB+EZ+Vignette.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYH95iQZ28I/AAAAAAAAATc/77Flyi3CI2E/s400/PB+EZ+Vignette.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296793801654393794" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The second week of December failed to show much sign of slowing, although it was definitely worth it. On the 13th of December I headed north to Kansas City to board a plane headed for Nashville. I was lucky enough to be asked to join one of my best friends, and fellow photographer, on a trip to Nashville to shoot an Engagement Session. As a county girl I have to tell you that I did not get to spend nearly enough time in that town! After Wendi, and one of her childhood friends picked me up at the airport we headed to the Hotel Preston to check in. What an awesome hotel that was! Then we headed to the mall to put in reservations to the Cheesecake Factory for a nice dinner. After waiting an hour and a half for a table we were finally seated and as Wendi promised the Fried Mac & Cheese was worth the wait. I made the mistake of not eating as I should on that day of travel and paid for it after spending $60 on a steak dinner when I got sick in the parking lot of the hotel and all over Wendi's passenger side door! I tell you what thankfully she is an awesome friend and didn't hold it against me, although she did give me a hard time all weekend! Sunday we met her couple in downtown Nashville to start shooting. We had an absolute blast with the happy couple, and I can't wait to join Wendi in shooting their wedding this summer. (I will share these images later as well).<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYH95TCbVFI/AAAAAAAAATU/rc0T5ksUohk/s1600-h/Nashville009.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYH95TCbVFI/AAAAAAAAATU/rc0T5ksUohk/s400/Nashville009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296793797569238098" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYH94zsk2LI/AAAAAAAAATM/VKYAcp0M2Eg/s1600-h/Nashville008.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYH94zsk2LI/AAAAAAAAATM/VKYAcp0M2Eg/s400/Nashville008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296793789156087986" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">What are red lights for?

The F Family from Griard came to have family pictures taken. We had originally planned on doing both indoor and outdoor pictures however as we headed outdoors we soon realized that there was no way we were going to be able to tough it out in the 20 degree weather.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYH9F6PeirI/AAAAAAAAASk/qmpOGGeTgPs/s1600-h/Ferguson+Fam++34.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYH9F6PeirI/AAAAAAAAASk/qmpOGGeTgPs/s400/Ferguson+Fam++34.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296792914739759794" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Christmas came the following weekend, way to soon for us! Santa as always was a big success by bringing Gracie a Fish Tank. The only other item she asked Santa for was a camera to take pictures with, go figure, so Tim and I bought that for her. We purchased her the Little Tikes Digital Camera, and were greatly disappointed. Of course she doesn't mind but it takes 5 seconds, yes 5 seconds after you push the button to take the picture. How in the world do they expect a toddler or any child for that matter to wait and hold still for 5 seconds while they take a picture? So for future reference, don't spend the money on this camera! You can totally get an actual digital camera for around this same price and I guarentee that it will have a much faster shutter than this one!<br /><br />With the start of January part of me was thinking, oh here comes January, I'll get a couple free minutes, and the other part of me was wondering what in the world I would do after getting so use to being busy during November and December. I wasn't disappointed the first week of January when the phone calls started pouring in to schedule sessions. During this month I have done 6 sessions, which is the perfect amount for me to do a month, and a big surprise during the slow part of the year.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYHvgQ85zNI/AAAAAAAAASU/qc0gkkHZldo/s1600-h/Graham09Jan050_pp.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYHvgQ85zNI/AAAAAAAAASU/qc0gkkHZldo/s400/Graham09Jan050_pp.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296777974349679826" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYHvf1UoJpI/AAAAAAAAASM/WYW7TA9RUyE/s1600-h/Darla2yr040.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYHvf1UoJpI/AAAAAAAAASM/WYW7TA9RUyE/s400/Darla2yr040.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296777966932993682" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYHvfkM9ZII/AAAAAAAAASE/bZ5TSshKGts/s1600-h/Blake1mo010_pp.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYHvfkM9ZII/AAAAAAAAASE/bZ5TSshKGts/s400/Blake1mo010_pp.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296777962337428610" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYHvfdDcttI/AAAAAAAAAR8/cBN65Py46g0/s1600-h/Avery6mo009blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYHvfdDcttI/AAAAAAAAAR8/cBN65Py46g0/s400/Avery6mo009blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296777960418490066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYHve5o1LZI/AAAAAAAAAR0/RIz_43R5IhM/s1600-h/10x20+collage.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SYHve5o1LZI/AAAAAAAAAR0/RIz_43R5IhM/s400/10x20+collage.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296777950911606162" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Just when you thought I was done catching you all up I have more to add! Not only am I still doing Childcare, and my photography, but I have taken on additional tasks as well. My friend Wendi has now hired me to design her custom wedding albums for her. I do each of these albums from scratch with each taking me around 10 hours to put together. I have been able to produce one album a week and not only is it helping her out, but it has given me something to do in my spare time. For so many years I've kept myself busy with school, the childcare, and other various things that since I'm now done with school I often find myself twiddling my thumbs when I have nothing to do!<br /><br />So there is my update for the past two months. I have put a Jan/Feb special together and I will post it for you soon.<br /><br />I hope that this post finds each of your families warm, well, and ready to face the year with a smile on your face!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">~D<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Donielle DeCow ~ Photographer</div>Donielle DeCowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10829926869922671120noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630362058070818929.post-81465687855746242192008-12-01T10:48:00.008-06:002008-12-01T13:11:23.100-06:00Busy weekend!I know I promised to prove to you that I have been working, not just playing!

Oh well even if it's not being read I'm having fun blogging!<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />So over the holiday weekend I had a BLAST!! I think this was one of my best holiday weekends in a long time.<br /><br />My busy weekend began Thursday around noon. I grabbed my bag and headed to a friends house to photograph their family. I'm lucky to be able to call J and N friends and also blessed to have A and S as part of my daycare clan. Here are a few from their fun filled session!<br /></div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQXyWUXnMI/AAAAAAAAAM4/EbpSLvwlgGg/s1600-h/Nippoldt+Fam15.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQXyWUXnMI/AAAAAAAAAM4/EbpSLvwlgGg/s400/Nippoldt+Fam15.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274867217309605058" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQXxx9_LdI/AAAAAAAAAMw/rRxF8lc7Tw4/s1600-h/Nippoldt+Fam07.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQXxx9_LdI/AAAAAAAAAMw/rRxF8lc7Tw4/s400/Nippoldt+Fam07.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274867207552052690" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQXx6m3QSI/AAAAAAAAAMo/qzM4Q8zsVm4/s1600-h/Nippoldt+Fam08.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQXx6m3QSI/AAAAAAAAAMo/qzM4Q8zsVm4/s400/Nippoldt+Fam08.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274867209870983458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQXxpSzlCI/AAAAAAAAAMg/zjp6HAujoqA/s1600-h/Nippoldt+Fam21.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQXxpSzlCI/AAAAAAAAAMg/zjp6HAujoqA/s400/Nippoldt+Fam21.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274867205223453730" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">When I finished with the N family I headed home to enjoy some home made Chicken and Noodles. A couple times a year we are lucky enough to have Tim make us home made Chicken and Noodles. This year he offered to make them for Thanksgiving dinner and we didn't decline!<br />After filling our bellies and taking a wonderful nap with Gracie we had some other family friends over for more Chicken and Noodles then went to bed.<br /><br />Friday the alarm clock came ringing way to early in the morning. I got up, showered, and loaded the van to continue my crazy hectic weekend.<br /><br />On Friday I tried my hand at my first Portrait Party. If I do say so myself it was a GREAT success! We had a blast, I got to try out my new muslin backgrounds, and we ended up with some awesome images. We started out with the "L" family, and I enjoyed their son "N"'s great sense of humor and spunk! Next we continued with the B girls suprise pictures for their moms Christmas...SHHH it's a secret! Then on with their individual families. Here are a few of my favorites!<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Isn't this muslin a beautiful background?

I didn't have anything scheduled until the afternoon but didn't get to sleep in either. Gracie woke me up at 7 and we took a bath, ate some cinnamon rolls, and I got her ready for Church. When we woke up I looked outside and it was snowing! I thought OH NO!! I was scheduled to do the S family outdoors and it didn't look like it would happen. After a quick phone call we decided we could try to fit the family of 15 inside on my new muslin backdrop. I made myself sick, I had never tried to fit that many people on a backdrop and get the lighted evenly, but I did it! I'm please with the results and hope that the S fam enjoys their portraits!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQdegIjN4I/AAAAAAAAAOo/iMPvpUkkq7w/s1600-h/Stephens++Fam+27.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQdegIjN4I/AAAAAAAAAOo/iMPvpUkkq7w/s400/Stephens++Fam+27.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274873473416771458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQdenlq7DI/AAAAAAAAAOg/cwPJIu6UzWg/s1600-h/Stephens++Fam+34.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQdenlq7DI/AAAAAAAAAOg/cwPJIu6UzWg/s400/Stephens++Fam+34.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274873475417959474" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQdeVBX8MI/AAAAAAAAAOY/b46HWF96F0c/s1600-h/Stephens++Fam+40.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQdeVBX8MI/AAAAAAAAAOY/b46HWF96F0c/s400/Stephens++Fam+40.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274873470433882306" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQdd5xZ2dI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/tfZEKylSgR8/s1600-h/Stephens++Fam+09.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQdd5xZ2dI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/tfZEKylSgR8/s400/Stephens++Fam+09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274873463119141330" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQz8wpfHLI/AAAAAAAAAQo/wQkYYSoVxR0/s1600-h/Stephens++Fam+36.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQz8wpfHLI/AAAAAAAAAQo/wQkYYSoVxR0/s400/Stephens++Fam+36.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274898182501768370" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQ2yykhS8I/AAAAAAAAAQw/BwT8iQIQyV4/s1600-h/Stephens++Fam+06.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/STQ2yykhS8I/AAAAAAAAAQw/BwT8iQIQyV4/s400/Stephens++Fam+06.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274901309754002370" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">So as you can see, I have been a busy little bee!

We have jewelry parties, we have candle parties, we even have parties for cook wear and household decorations, why not do one for something as important and timeless as portraits.<br /><br />I do have to say this isn't a completely original idea, there are several photographers throughout the country who have added this idea to their business and have not only had great success with it but have had tons of fun doing it.<br /><br />So here it is folks! Click on the image to in large it and feel free to either print it and share it with friends and family or as always feel free to share my blog with them as well!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRx3Qt5NuhI/AAAAAAAAAMY/3k98jwbzql8/s1600-h/introduction+5x7+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 298px; height: 418px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRx3Qt5NuhI/AAAAAAAAAMY/3k98jwbzql8/s400/introduction+5x7+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268216793197820434" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Donielle DeCow ~ Photographer</div>Donielle DeCowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10829926869922671120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630362058070818929.post-86617850109776596532008-11-12T22:09:00.004-06:002008-11-12T22:53:02.794-06:00One more Iowa post...Ok guys one more Iowa post and then I'll get back to business! I can't help it I just had way to much fun.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />My last day in Burlington included an Engagement Session with a wonderful couple that Wendi will be photographing in June.

It is absolutely beautiful.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRuqBNOhQAI/AAAAAAAAALQ/932VTrpcol4/s1600-h/IMG_7706.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRuqBNOhQAI/AAAAAAAAALQ/932VTrpcol4/s400/IMG_7706.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267991126847078402" border="0" /></a><br />After playing by the river Wendi took her clients to "Snake Alley." Here is how I found out about Snake Alley....The day after I arrived in Burlington Wendi's mom came to town to spend the day. As we were talking her mom mentioned that she should take me to Snake Alley. I had NO idea what Snake Alley was. Being from Southeast Kansas I assumed it was some run down dirt road or something. So on Sunday we head to Snake Alley with her clients. We pull up on a museum and I'm thinking ok where is Snake Alley. Snake Alley is a road, I was right about that, but it's a brick road that curves like a snake (hence the name). Here is a picture out of the window of Wendi's Equinox as we start driving down Snake Alley. And following it are pictures of another need place, Cobblestone Alley, of course made out of cobblestones!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRuuPso0onI/AAAAAAAAALo/vhTi1Qwy_d8/s1600-h/IMG_7832.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRuuPso0onI/AAAAAAAAALo/vhTi1Qwy_d8/s400/IMG_7832.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267995773843579506" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRuuQArfvNI/AAAAAAAAALw/gUUNtJV4pCI/s1600-h/IMG_7837.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRuuQArfvNI/AAAAAAAAALw/gUUNtJV4pCI/s400/IMG_7837.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267995779223502034" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRuuQYS7zvI/AAAAAAAAAL4/tprfaICmJNg/s1600-h/IMG_7795.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRuuQYS7zvI/AAAAAAAAAL4/tprfaICmJNg/s400/IMG_7795.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267995785562935026" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRuuQ-_hQCI/AAAAAAAAAMA/FlqenmWfqy4/s1600-h/IMG_7802.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRuuQ-_hQCI/AAAAAAAAAMA/FlqenmWfqy4/s400/IMG_7802.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267995795950485538" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">So that wraps up my Iowa trip....oh wait no it doesn't...lol <br /><br />So I fly from Kansas City right into Burlington, IA. For those of you in my area Burlinton's airport is just like Joplin. So I flew on a little puddle jumper plane. On the way up it was pouring down rain and I was sure my flight was going to be delayed. Thankfully the private jet I flew on (I was the only one on the plane) flew without a hitch. So Sunday I get ready to come home, the sky is clear, but it's windy. Get through "security" LOL and I'm sitting waiting for the plane to arrive and they tell us (me and another lady) that it will be delayed 45 minutes. So I chuckle and go on with the day. Plane shows up 45 minutes later, we head to KC and try to land...can't land it's to windy....LOL I finally arrived in Kansas City 2 hours later than I was suppose to. I laughed the whole time. <br /><br />So that finally wraps up my trip to the great state of Iowa. It was a blast, Wendi, Kim and Devan were a blast, and I can't wait to go back! <br /><br /></div>Check back tomorrow....hopefully....I'll get back to business and prove to you all that I really have been working lately!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">~D<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Donielle DeCow ~ Photographer</div>Donielle DeCowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10829926869922671120noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630362058070818929.post-39132028661992322702008-11-11T22:09:00.006-06:002008-11-12T00:19:24.994-06:00Iowa Continuted...<div style="text-align: justify;">So yesterday I posted about our awesome McD's experience! Today I'm going to post about the well um...not so good experience at the salon!<br /><br />Wendi rounded up two lovely ladies to model for us on Saturday so we could go out and about in the town of Burlington, IA and "shoot" some brides! She arranged to have their hair and make-up professionally done and we were stoked!<br /><br />So Saturday morning we pry ourselves out of bed after one very long night of "a shot in the dark" where we tried our hand at off camera flash in Wendi's backyard until all hours of the night, or should I say morning! Anyway....we get to the salon, explain to the stylist how we want Trisha's hair done and after about an hour she has the curls FINALLY set and has Trisha go relax while the product sets in hopes to hold the "continuous wave" that we asked for. The stylist then does the other "bride's" hair and has Tricia come back over to put her hair up. Wendi looks over and FREAKS out, the stylist is now BRUSHING OUT the curl. To say the least it was the most horrid salon experience I had ever had and I thought Wendi was going to loose it.<br /><br />Thankfully the rest of the day, although we started late, turned out not so bad. Here are a few of my favs from the day!<br /><br />I'll apologize that these are backwards (end of day to beginning)!!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The things we do to get a shot. I swear there were people following us thinking what in the world are those crazy people doing! We had several people stop and ask when the wedding was!<br /><br />Here is Kim in a "gotta get the shot" position!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRpp67EKaZI/AAAAAAAAAKo/TJcBYpkexeY/s1600-h/IMG_7611.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRpp67EKaZI/AAAAAAAAAKo/TJcBYpkexeY/s400/IMG_7611.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267639175171697042" border="0" /></a><br />What happens when you get a few crazy fearless photographers together and they find an empty run down building?

I have been one busy gal!<br /><br />I have several images I would love to share and I will try to do it in a few multiple posts. However, the most exciting news I want to share is news about my trip to Iowa.<br /><br />Here is a little background info...Last November I decided to suck up all my fears, jump on a plane by myself, and travel to Ohio to meet a group of Photographers at a confrence. I made myself sick the whole trip there because it was something very new for me. However, I traveled home on an absolute high because the the AWESOME experience it was.<br /><br />Just a couple weeks ago I traveled to Iowa to stay with a friend that I met at the confrence last year. Her name is Wendi and when we met we decided that we HAD to be long lost sisters. Since then we have stayed in touch and finally had a chance to get together again. Devan and Kim, two other photographer friends joined us in a fun weekend filled with way to many laughs.<br /><br />Here are a few images from our weekend.<br /><br />This first one was taken on Friday. Kim is addicted to McDonald's pop. So on our way to Devan's studio we ran through the drive through to order her a Diet Coke. As we pull up to the speaker to order Wendi is asked what she would like and she responds with..."I need a 42 inch diet coke please." Instantly we hear uncontrolled laughter on the speaker and Kim and I start the crying laughs. We pull to the window still laughing, pay and snap a picture of the ladies taking our order. So to document a McDonald's experience I'll never forget, here is a picture of a 42 inch diet coke!<br /></div><br />And to you, Wendi, my friend, just remember that you'll never live this down...only because I love you!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRjfMr4eV2I/AAAAAAAAAIw/42yYWbWl-dY/s1600-h/IMG_7279.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SRjfMr4eV2I/AAAAAAAAAIw/42yYWbWl-dY/s400/IMG_7279.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267205173240813410" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Donielle DeCow ~ Photographer</div>Donielle DeCowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10829926869922671120noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630362058070818929.post-85022016980254593402008-10-02T14:17:00.004-05:002008-10-02T14:26:11.125-05:00New Beginnings<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">First I want to begin with some exciting news!

I love to watch the expressions on faces as they look at images I created. It's an amazing feeling.<br /><br />Later in the week, hopefully today, I will announce the winner of my annual giveaway.<br /><br />Until then I wanted to share a few images from a couple of recent sessions.<br /><br />This couple is Marvin and Patty. Patty's daughter Sarah and I are good friends.

I will get this issue taken care of as soon as possible. <br /><br />However, while your waiting head on over to the website and check out our new look!!<br /><br />Thanks for your patience!!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">~D<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Donielle DeCow ~ Photographer</div>Donielle DeCowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10829926869922671120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630362058070818929.post-60083571362980510752008-08-20T21:21:00.009-05:002008-08-20T21:37:42.604-05:00More of Miss Avery<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Avery turned one month old!! To celebrate I joined her at her favorite spot...her house. This time I made sure her mommy was ready to join her in a few pictures, and we made daddy stay home from fishing. I am amazed at how she has grown already.

Friends and family of Avery will soon be receiving their announcements in the mail. After getting the go ahead from her mom, I just ordered them! I love how they turned out and I am so excited that her mom was as pleased with them as I!<br /><br />On another note, I am working on a back to school special, so check back often for that information. School pictures have become so generic, and from what I hear, outrageously expensive. Hopefully I can help a few of you out by offering a more personal portrait at a more reasonable price!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">~D<br /></div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJfDx7DG6hI/AAAAAAAAAEc/nUYL-SCi4pE/s1600-h/Avery+1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJfDx7DG6hI/AAAAAAAAAEc/nUYL-SCi4pE/s400/Avery+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230864754645854738" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Donielle DeCow ~ Photographer</div>Donielle DeCowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10829926869922671120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630362058070818929.post-41092239983185228712008-08-03T11:19:00.007-05:002008-08-03T11:31:20.829-05:00Freedom<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">For those of you who haven't heard, I am so excited to have my best friend finally living in the same town as I after she being gone for three years. However, I am not as excited about the reason she has moved home. Her husband, SSG. Graham (Beau to us) deployed to Afghanistan the second week of June. While he is over seas protecting our country and fighting for the freedom we all take for granted, Audrey, their two boys, and the bun in the oven (she due in November) have moved home to be closer to family and friends. This past week I took the time to take pictures of the boys to send to Beau. Below you can find a few of my favorites. The last one would have to be my most favorite, I took this to remind Beau that we are praying for him every day and can't wait until he returns home.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">~D<br /></div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJXa5KNKrNI/AAAAAAAAAEU/dkjY0bt0VD8/s1600-h/proof+29.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJXa5KNKrNI/AAAAAAAAAEU/dkjY0bt0VD8/s400/proof+29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230327217787677906" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJXa2LodQHI/AAAAAAAAAEM/2mf5n6xT3qA/s1600-h/proof+36.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJXa2LodQHI/AAAAAAAAAEM/2mf5n6xT3qA/s400/proof+36.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230327166630969458" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJXazG05_6I/AAAAAAAAAEE/KmHDisFwX3I/s1600-h/proof+38.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJXazG05_6I/AAAAAAAAAEE/KmHDisFwX3I/s400/proof+38.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230327113801400226" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJXauulQYCI/AAAAAAAAAD8/h0BsIsoGU-A/s1600-h/proof+42+choc.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJXauulQYCI/AAAAAAAAAD8/h0BsIsoGU-A/s400/proof+42+choc.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230327038573830178" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJXao8d9YNI/AAAAAAAAAD0/JayzFCUJjAw/s1600-h/proof+46+rc+w+twist.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SJXao8d9YNI/AAAAAAAAAD0/JayzFCUJjAw/s400/proof+46+rc+w+twist.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230326939222106322" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Donielle DeCow ~ Photographer</div>Donielle DeCowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10829926869922671120noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630362058070818929.post-47799997102702958742008-08-01T14:09:00.005-05:002008-08-01T14:15:06.895-05:00Miss Jansen<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">As I said in the previous post, Miss Jansen came to see me this past weekend.

I guess when it comes to that part of my creativity it has just disappeared.<br /><br />As you can see from my two previous posts, I had a busy weekend! It didn't stop there. I had another session with a cute little girl named Jansen, who brought her mom and dad with her. I will post my favorite from her session later.<br /><br />The fun didn't stop there. My best friend Audrey and her boys stepped into the spotlight for a few pictures to send over seas to her husband, and their father Beau, who is protecting our country as I type.<br /><br />As always anytime I have my studio set up, my little red head wants to jump in front of the camera and "CHEESSSSEEE PEASSSS." Here are a few, I'll post more later of Audrey's boys and Jansen's session.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy my little ones pictures as much as I do.

I never knew that technology would out run me like it has. For those of you who know me personally, my mother is a computer programmer and all my life I have been taught to find my way through programs after programs. However, lately I find myself stumped by some of the most simple things in our ever growing computer world!<br /><br />So, now that I have wasted most of the day trying to decide what I wanted my blog to look like, here it is in the making! I fell as though I have outgrown myspace, and simply just do not have the time to keep up with it. I wanted a simple blog that would allow me to keep my clients, friends, and family up to date on my sessions and all of the wonderful happenings in my business.<br /><br />Here is my first attempt at trying to give you a sneak peek into one of my recent sessions!<br /><br />Jordyn is the daughter of a childhood friend of mine. I am just amazed at her beautiful hair! She isn't one for smiles, but her beautiful little face doesn't need a smile!<br /><br /></div></div></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SIkwyP0DL5I/AAAAAAAAABs/mO9Z0EaauwQ/s1600-h/blog+2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ry9J9o9CSF0/SIkwyP0DL5I/AAAAAAAAABs/mO9Z0EaauwQ/s400/blog+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226762482336608146" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Donielle DeCow ~ Photographer</div>Donielle DeCowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10829926869922671120noreply@blogger.com4
