Before I show any photos… I have to say that I will never, ever forget Keri… especially considering we almost got arrested during her photo shoot!!! *shock* Oh yeah. I’m making memories here, folks.

FYI: Getting on the railroad tracks is illegal. Two officers from our friendly Anniston Police Department dropped by during our shoot to inform me of that! Thank God they didn’t cuff me & throw me in a cell, because I’m thinking I wouldn’t last very long in jail. I’m also thinking… ehhhhh, that’s really not good PR. I can just hear Keri telling her college friends… “Yeah I’m still waiting on my senior portraits, my photographer was arrested during the shoot & her hubby refuses to post bail until she swears off the internet. So she’s doing the minimum 2yr sentence.” But I digress. Time for pictures!!!

So, Keri… I think it’s safe to say you’ll never forget your senior portrait session! *wink wink*

On a completely different note, I am going on a much needed, well deserved vacation during FALL BREAK! Anyone who knows me, knows that there’s no way I’m going 7 full days without working. So! I will be in the Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, AL area from October 11th - 17th & am booking a limited number of mini beach sessions. Packages start at $75 & include prints. Email me if you’re interested or have any questions! stephaniearnoldphoto@gmail.com

Okay, okay, two posts in less than 24 hours, what can I say? I’m trying to make it up to you. *wink wink*

Couldn’t help but share this little sneak peek as I’m editing…. This girl is seriously gorgeous with perfect hair and perfect lips and perfect eyes… *WHISTLE* …did I mention perfect hair and perfect lips and… oh yeah, I did, didn’t I?

Hope you like your teaser pic Kelsy! I’ll have your session ready soon… cross my heart & hope to die, stick a needle… wait. Yuck. Let’s not get needles involved here….

Stay tuned!

Poor blog. What did it ever do to deserve such mistreatment?! Neglected, I tell you. Been over a month since my last post. Oopsy!

So, what’s been going on? Well, here’s a rundown, in no particular order:
Grandad’s still in rehab with me… after 3 hospital visits, I think he’s finally on the mend! Very excited about that. The family has been looking into a long-term solution for my grandparents after he leaves… this has proven very time consuming & heart-wrenching. I won’t go into detail, but let’s just say there’s been alot of hours spent making phone calls, interviewing people, touring facilities, etc. It’s a painful process. In the mean time, my grandmother’s mental state has just really gone downhill… mood swings, wandering, memory loss… it’s sad to see. I’m hoping we’ll find a new normal for them, something that will make them happy as well as ensure their safety. Pray for us as a family, we sure need it!

Jackson started kindergarten today… I’m proud to say I didn’t get a note from the principal or even the teacher! I’m assuming everyone involved survived.

We got a new puppy. A basset hound named Buster. Poor thing. I would almost feel sorry for him, but he pees & poops on my hardwood… so I don’t. HA!

I got my wisdom teeth extracted last week & have developed dry sockets on the bottom. Fun stuff. Google “dry socket”, you’ll see what I mean! P.S. if by chance you have googled dry socket, and wound up here, run to the pharmacy & buy a Red Cross Toothache Complete Medication Kit. NOW. Follow the directions & thank me later.

I met some really cool local photogs in the Cheaha Professional Photographers Society. Poor Jen had some drama at IHOP but it’s all better now. *wink wink*

Oh yeah, and I’ve fit some sessions in there somewhere! Here’s a few from a 2010 Senior Session - look out ladies!

And after I cracked a funny… I’m such a jokester, yes I am.

he almost made me want another one. Just for a split second. Then reality hit & the feeling vanished. haha!!!!
