Thank you to all who entered the contest. You have been added to the mailing list to receive my monthly newsletters. You should see one in your inbox sometime next week. 

I have about 5 more minutes to wait until I have hot water again. Six gallons of hot water is ....... a challenge... awesome.... not fun. I did the breakfast dishes and am waiting to shower. Is it still called a shower if you only have 6 gallons of hot water? Maybe a standing spritz? I digress...

With my free time, I decided to draw a winner for my fall mini session. 

To make the process faster, I had the kids help and I took iphone photos. 

If you see a star by the name, it was an extra entry for referring somebody to my contest. Thanks for your help in building my business. Its going to help me get out of the RV park faster :) If you are new here, and wondering why I live in an RV, we are saving money to buy land and build a house. 

We put all the entires in the bowl

Had my assistants (dressed in their pj's) draw a winner

drum roll please....

Nicole Kuehlwein, you are the winner!! I won't make you a chicken dinner, you wouldn't want it. Remeber, I live in an RV! But, I will take your photos on Nov 2nd at 2:30 for free!! If you are unable to come at that time, feel free to give your session away. I will email you this week with all the details!! Welcome to the focal point photography family. 

p.s.- if you didn't win, but still want to book a session, HURRY. Fall is my busy season.

4 years ... what? That is crazy.

Take a trip down memory lane with me...

Wasn't that fun? 4 years. I love to get to know my clients and their kids. Makes pics easier on everyone. Its like I am part of the family. This last photo was taken last week, these kids were angels. No joke. Didn't even have to pull out my rubber chicken. Didn't have to sing or stand on my head or bark like a dog. Nope. Just pure fun. No tears. 

Ok, lets do another... are you with me?
