How to insert link and enter a contest

The steps to link to another blog, are quite easy.

1. Copy the web address to the blog you want to link to
2. Go to your blog. On your blog, write the word "link"
2. Highlight the word "link"
3. Click on the hyperlink tool (It looks like a world with one chain link)
4. In the box that appears, paste the web address to the blog you want to link to and click OK

Now your link is complete. The code will automatically appear on your blog.

If you use a different blog, that is fine. The steps may be a little different, but very similar.

8 New Holiday Card Designs!

I wanted to share some a site that you can find holiday cards to add your pictures in and send out for Christmas. They have Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Be Merry and more. That way there are options for everyone. I know this company offers good print quality, have good prices, and are quick in their turn around time. I love to offer personalized cards created by me specifically for each client, but this year that's not possible. This is a great alternative.

I'd love to hear your comments about these cards.

Taking Photos of Children

I love to take photos of chlidren. You never really know what you're going to get from a shoot until it's over. I can't wait to get back into more photography after my recovery from surgery.

West Houston Senior Photographer

I am sitting here thinking of some great high school seniors that may want their portraits done before January. If you can wait until January, that would be great. I'll be back in action and ready to shoot. If you can't wait that long, I wanted to give you another option.

Neufelds Creative Imaging does a great job. The photographer is fun, easy to work with, and very creative. http://www.neufeldcreativeimages.com

If you can wait for me, that would be great, but if not here is another great choice in photographers.

David Ziser

I have learned so much as a photographer from this guy. He is easy to understand, practicle, and shares so much on his blog. Digitalprotalk.com
I can't help but share. I attended a Digital ProTalk Seminar and enjoyed it. I know he has a book coming out and I have purchased some of his training DVD's. I'll have to say every penny had been worth it. The impact it made on my photography and sales was wonderful, quick, and the best of anything else I have found so far. If you're interested in taking better pic, check out his page.

Madison 5 months in Lumberton TX

I really wanted to take pictures of Madison at 5 months, but with the no bending adn twisting thing, that was a problem. Thanks to my wonderful family, I was able to help. Dad helped get the site ready, Mom got Madison ready and posed her, and Jesse held my flash. That way all I had to do was run the camera. Here are a few of my favorites.
