introducing…
my new photography blog!!!
Now it’s a work in progress, but I wanted to get it up and running since I had my first official paying customer photo shoot yesterday! What a blessing to be able to do what I love for other families! As of now, I have another photo shoot booked for May and 4 other interested customers! Wow!
Last summer, while reading A Praying Life by Paul E. Miller, our wonderful “facilitator” encouraged us to pray for something that we never would think to take to the Lord because it seems too selfish. But God wants to be part of all the decisions we make in our life. So my request was to pray for a photography business one day, not because I need to get a job, but because I love taking pictures and editing them! For pure enjoyment!
And now, here we are 9 months later, and God is opening the door for me to step in! Honestly, I never would of attempted to start anything right now because I feel like Austin has so many wonderful, creative photographers and there isn’t room for one more! But God had other plans. A sweet blog reader of mine left a comment and asked me to take their portraits and I just couldn’t say no to that! Seriously flattering!
So, please, go on over and check out my new photography blog! It even rhymes-JulieP Photography! Heehee!
Here is a “taste” of the photo shoot from yesterday, no pun intended. (well, maybe it was.)

a little nostalgia
James took a couple days off and we went to College Station to take the kids to the Texas A&M campus. James and I walked the kids around and we showed them where we lived, our classes, our first kiss…it was so fun and a beautiful day!
First stop, to visit the Bonfire Memorial.
 |
| Both James and I had never been to the Memorial, but we both were in school
when it collapsed on Nov. 18, 1999 |
We went to the southside where we showed them my dorm:

and daddy’s dorm across the way

| southside commons |

| Dunn |
Then we went inside to the Commons lobby and showed the kids something very important to James and I-the ping pong tables. These tables are where our relationship started…long talks were held in this very room, getting to know each other…

No campus tour is complete without visiting Heldenfels. We both took classes in there and James was an supplemental instructor (SI) for many Chem 101 classes. We went inside the classroom to show the kids what college is really like. Rilyn asked if my teacher would remember me. 😉

We walked this route many times…

I did the best I could with this picture…it was waaaaay sunny and the fountain was drained, but here is Fish Pond, the site of James and I’s first kiss.

All Faiths Chapel, where we went to Upstream every Thursday night. Many lifetime friendships were formed here, the Spirit moving in ways we could have never imagined…

saturday afternoon
A Saturday with no plans=me wanting to do a photoshoot with the kids. I wanted to go to the park, but the weather was rainy this morning so I had to wait until after Asher’s naptime, and then I was too exhausted to drive anywhere with three kids. I settled for the backyard. Today’s shoot was me trying to hone my photography skills of capturing objects in motion while keeping other ones in focus in the same shot. Since Asher hasn’t had much face time lately on the blog, here are some of my favorites of him today.

| Asher in focus, girls-not |

And just for fun, because his eyebrows are just THAT hairy.
 |
| and I like his band-aid. |

pics of licks
I was itching to take some photographs today.
I was searching around in my pantry for a snack and I found a big lollipop!
I know these are two random facts that seemingly have nothing to do with each other, but I have always been wanting to take pictures with a big lollipop, (is this strange?) and I totally forgot that I had one in there! Never mind that the lollipop was almost 2 years old, (from Disneyland in April 2009!). I was going to use it, (because once an idea is in my head, I want to do it asap!), and anyway, the girls wouldn’t notice! Besides, I wouldn’t actually let them bite it, just pics of licks! 😉
I had a little fun editing these because James isn’t home tonight and I have some time on my hands while I’m waiting for the Oscars so I can watch it without commercials!
Enjoy!
