Beautiful!

I have really enjoyed spring finally coming to VA! It is nice to actually have some flowers coming up and some warm weather. I was beginning to think that it would never come!

Here are a few pics from my garden!

Juniors - make some quick cash! :)

Announcing the Senior Ambassador program!!!!

Are you a junior in high school? Do you want to earn some quick cash to help out with your summer plans? Here's how.

Toute Ma Vie Photography is looking for one junior from each school to be a "Senior Ambassador." In this program, you will receive a free senior portrait session, on location. All you have to do is share your pictures with your friends. For each friend that signs up with us during a "special sale week" you will receive a $10 gift certificate to anywhere! Get 10 people to sign up -- that's $100 for you!

If you are interested, please email - toutemaviephotography@gmail.com or call 540.660.4058.

Spots are limited to one Ambassador per school - so hurry!

How do you relax?

Okay, being a busy person (which I am) . . . I find that I have to search for ways to relax. First, if you know me, you know that I teach, coach, photograph, live, love, etc, etc . . . so I am busy. It is hard for me to find any moments at all to myself, and when I get them -- I stink at just sitting back and relaxing. So, I figured, I would get some advice from you all!

So -- what do you do to relax?


(My answer normally includes my television and good show).

Blog links

Okay, so I was totally inspired by a fellow photography friend - Jillian Kay - to put this up on the blog. She wrote a post about blog links and all the blogs that she is reading - see it here

So, in light of her post -- here is how you subscribe to my blog feed.

New product for seniors!

This is exciting! For my seniors in 2008, I am offering this new cute brag book! These little books are so cute, and have personalizable (is that even a word?) layouts. Anyway, this is one of my senior ambassadors for 2008 (see some of her pics below).






Don't they look great! :) I am excited about being able to offer this trendy little book!

pics from the beach

So, as you know, we were at the beach last weekend! It was awesome -- not really warm, but so nice to be away with the team.

Here's a few pics!

One from the hotel balcony -- crazy seagulls.

From the game:
Okay, this one is not a great pic -- but I wanted you all to see the sunset that we got the watch. It was awesome! This is straight from the camera -- no tweaking or anything. What pretty colors!

And this is the spring team for WCHS! Go Wildcats!

off to the beach

Well, we will not be around this weekend - as we are heading out to the beach! Yay! This is one of my favorite weekends of the year. My travel team goes down to the beach to play in the Rush Cup! We all stay together at a hotel, with the boys team, and hang out, have fun and play some soccer! :) It's an awesome time.

Anyway, if you contact us this weekend, please be patient - we will be back late on Sunday (and will be sure to get some pics up from the festivities).

Go Wolves!

Missy's pictures

As promised, here are some of Missy's pics! :) She is just such a cutie! Thanks for hanging out with me!

Busy, busy, busy

Well, it was a busy weekend in the world of Toute Ma Vie Photography. First, on Saturday, we shot the South Warren Fire Hall Honorary Chief Beauty Pageant. It was amazing to see the girls from this area so confidently representing themselves and their community. I was moved . . . definitely. What a great group. Congrats to all the winners!

Today, I went out with a very sweet girl to take some senior pics. We headed to Sherando Park and Old Town Winchester. Stay tuned for some great pics -- she is just such a cutie! So, now it is off to the editing board . . . anyone else do anything fun this weekend? :)
