my girls :)

It’s been quite a while since Audrey & Scarlett have seen the blog…I thought I’d share a little impromptu session that I did with them a little while back.  Rachael dropped them off at my studio for a while and of course I couldn’t get ANYTHING done with them there.  So…we took some pictures :)  They’ve gone through stages of how they act in front of the camera.  Most of the time they just ignore me…but that day, they were just hilarious.

then we decided to go inside for a few…
They got a little dance fever :)
annnnd finally…this one ended up being our Christmas card…love it.

Kayleen T. - Hey Creative Push, just got the email for the Lyon Shop in Vegas and sadly won’t make it to the dinner the night before so I just wanted to reach out to everyone and say HI and introduce myself! :) It will be my first year to WPPI! These girls are so cute and the picture of them in the cement pipe has to be the best kid picture I’ve ever seen! :) hopefully we can talk more at the Lyonshop! YAY! -Kayleen

Brittany Lee - They are sooooo pretty. Love these pics. The one with Scarlett squatting down looking at Audrey reminds me of Racheal.

Aunt Mae Mae - Little boogers;) I love them so much I can’t stand it! I am definitely the luckiest AUNT in the world!

Mary Natalie Hester - They are so beautiful!!!!

Retta Williams - I love these pics!!!!! I’m speechless. Where did you take them????


           

gatlinburg + jowling

Rachael & I went to Gatlinburg this past weekend with my sister Megan and brother-in-law Ben for Megan’s birthday. It was a great time and super relaxing. It’s been a LONG time since we’ve gotten to hang out with absolutely nothing that we HAD to do. This is obviously a dangerous situation because I ended up breaking out the camera to experiment with a little JOWLING. If you haven’t heard of this you should google it. It basically consists of making a fool out of yourself by slinging your head back and forth like while relaxing your facial muscles and freezing it on camera. The shots are a little embarrassing but so worth showing :) None of us could breath we were laughing so hard. So have a laugh…at us :)

First up…the birthday girl.

Here’s Ben
Poor Rachael couldn’t quit laughing long enough to relax her face.  This is the best we got from her :)
annnnnd of course…me
What a great weekend.  Here’s something a little easier to look at.  The view from our cabin.

L.Ray - I looked at the pics before reading. First thought, is this Meg’s morning after picture from too much birthday? Then, I looked at Ben’s pics and thought you had edited to make it look like he just got jacked. Now I know, it’s jowling! Happy belated birthday, Megan!

Gradi Ellis - AH! Daniel I LOVE these! I am cracking up!

Erika Boswell - These are hilarious!!! I would be like Rachel having a hard time relaxing my face. Thanks for sharing!

Birthday Girl - BAHHAAAAAAAAA!!!!! I’m ready for round 3 :)

Beth Stone - CRACK me UP!


           

NEW YEAR…NEW SITE…NEW MOBILE SITE & BLOG FACELIFT

Well it’s been quite some time since I’ve posted on the ol’blog. I can assure you it’s not because I didn’t want to. Last year was a wild and crazy ride…I just had to make a commitment to my current clients and let the blog suffer. I learned a ton and I’ve already applied some of that knowledge to streamline my workflow and business. That being said…I am going to make a bigger commitment to the blog this year. I really want to use it to document my life and work. Thanks to everyone who continue to check back often.

2010 has so much in store and I’m extremely excited about it. To start it off, I’ve launched an entirely new website … I gave the blog a facelift to match :) … I launched a “mobile” site that is mobile device friendly. Just visit www.creativepush.com on your mobile device (i.e. iPhone, CrackBerry, etc…) and you’ll automatically be forwarded to my mobile site.  So feel free to share!

And finally…I’ve broken down and created a facebook fan page for creative push.  I’ve known about the power of social networking for some time…but I just never bit the bullet.  So please…won’t you please…be a FAN :)

So for my first post of the year…Here’s the new cover of Tulle.  Each issue is always a fun and hectic ride for me and Rachael (especially hectic for Rachael :).  This issue was no exception.  On the day of the cover shoot, Audrey (our oldest daughter) fell and need to have stitches in her face right as we were about to start to shoot.  Luckily she was ok and after all of the setup, hair, makeup, etc we couldn’t turn back.  I got this in a record time.  Our first double cover…Please meet our wonderful model… Amber Bowman.  We’re sooo pleased. Thanks Amber!

Kellie - Everything looks great!! Oh, and Jude loves your music-he started dancing right away when I logged on:) Hope you had Rachael have a great year!
