How do you say it?

Twenty-ten? Two thousand ten? Two thousand AND ten? I havent quite figured out how I will say it. I find myself saying two thousand ten but wishing I was cooler and said twenty-ten.... Regardless of how you say it, a new year brings a feeling of newness. A fresh feeling that says I can do it this time! It brings change...hopefully for the better! In honor of the new year, I have a fabulous special.

What was I saying again?

Have you ever heard of the "mommy fog" or "mommy brain"? After you have kids, the ability to think clearly seems to disapear..and it gets worse with each child! Well, it has for me. I find myself in the middle of a conversation and I have NO idea what was just said. By myself, or the person I am talking to! Its strange...embarrasing...and really annoying! The worst part is that it seems this problem has migrated over to my blogging abilities. I started a super awesome cloth diapering info series and I never finished it! I got caught up with school and the holidays....and......you know...um...what was I saying again? sigh...

Anyway, I promise that I will get that series finished soon! I have some diapers coming in the mail for Samuel...a gift for Christmas (that may or may not be here in time...ugh) so once they are here, I will finish the series! I will!!!

And, because who doesnt like a picture..here is one of the reasons I have lost my ability to communicate fully!

It runs in the family...

As a child, I was blessed with great birthday and Christmas gifts. It was always SO much fun to see what was in that box! I remember jumping up and down screeching because I got a Baby Alive! I am pretty sure my sister and I ran laps around Granny Hazel's living room...screaming YES! YES! OMG! YES! Im not sure if it was the doll that got us so excited or the fact that it was a surprise...isnt that always fun? To be taken off guard and get something you really wanted? I was also blessed with a family full of big mouths. You know...those who cant keep secrets well? I was usually NOT surprised by gifts given to me by my cousins because the "hints" were pretty obvious! Yeah, you know who you are.....Grandma...Valerie....uh huh! Im allowed to call you out! Why? Because I am one of you too! Its SO hard to keep this under wraps!!! I just want to sneak in a clue...a hint..
About a week ago I decided to it was time to take the kids pictures so that I wouldnt be rushed to order them for Christmas. I know you are thinking...um a week before Christmas? That isnt rushed? Well...no not for me! So we got dressed and not a single image worked. No biggie...we could try again later! Yesterday we attempted round 2. Nothing... So today, thankfully, the sun was shining so we headed outside. SURELY I could get something outside!!! It worked! They were so happy to be outside they would have taken a million pictures if it meant they could soak up the sun and splash in the mud! YAY! So..here are a few..um..hints! I wont share the best ones because they are gifts for some very lucky family members...but here are a few since I cant keep secrets very well. ....it runs in the family...

Again? Really?

So, last year my blog and website received a huge makeover. It was glorious! Just before Samuel was born, I decided I would no longer be photographing weddings. This was a huge change for my business because 70% of my business was weddings!! Since this decision was made, I have closed my website and I have been re-creating Brandi Tejeda Photography...sort of. It has been sort of frustrating, because I feel like I just did this! And, I did! But, it has also been really fun. I feel like I have found what I really love doing. Portraits. Of people..just being themselves. I have also realized I dont want a website. Dont panic all 6 of my readers...I will still be blogging. I am moving my blog soon. And my blog will become a blog-site. My website and my blog got married and had a baby...a blog-site. Its going to be WONDERFUL! Everything all together...no more linking to a website or a shopping cart. All in one! This all in one awesomeness wont be a reality until after the first of the year...complete with some great changes for my business! I am trying to make things as simple as possible! I have not decided if I will MOVE the blog, or just start a new one. This new blog-site isnt really a contiuation of what is already here. Its full of change and a new way of doing things. What do you think? Should I move it? Should I start a new blog? Let me know in that super cool comment box down there... :) I love comments!!

Speaking of change...check out how much this little (um..can I still say little?) guy has changed!

Sneak Peek....Galow Family

I had the sweet pleasure of photographing this family last week. The kids are precious and they get it from their parents! I did not know this family prior to photographing them, but I am so happy to have met them! The kids are non stop..I only wish I had a handful of their energy. Things would go so smoothly around here if I did!!! Enough of me dreaming, here is a peek into their session. We did get some great family shots, but those will be revealed with this years Christmas card designs in a couple days.








Dont worry Daddy Galow....we got some of you with your kiddos too!




Beautiful couple right?

Thank you Galow family!
