We're already booking portrait sessions into June so keep that in mind when scheduling your spring/summer portraits. We do still have April and May dates available, but the weekends are filling up quickly. Sure, it's pretty rainy and foggy out, but as we all know, this is Indiana and the weather changes at the drop of a hat. ;-)Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06309989606917361091noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26095913.post-51828344690946420702008-03-24T22:13:00.003-04:002008-03-24T22:20:32.408-04:00my baby girlis slowly but surely growing up. :( She's not wearing diapers or pull-ups anymore and says she's a big girl now (where 3 weeks ago she insisted she was still a baby girl). She talks to me all day and her little expressions and the big words she tries to use-it just floors me. Seems like just yesterday she was a teeny-tiny, barely 5 and half pound baby and now look at her!<br /><br />Don't even get me started on the boys! Garrett reminds me quite regularly that he will be driving in 7.5 years and that he'll be a teenager in 4.5, lol. My little boy's feet are getting big enough that I can steal his socks! Geez. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leahprofancik/2356490338/" title="angel by ~LeahP~, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3079/2356490338_e03e256c56_o.jpg" width="650" height="979" alt="angel" /></a><br />My little baby (I still reserve the right to call her my baby) standing "like a princess".Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06309989606917361091noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26095913.post-20424752953881859372008-03-21T13:48:00.003-04:002008-03-21T14:00:37.954-04:00never enough time in a dayI'm afraid I'm seriously neglecting this blog-oops! I have to laugh at myself because last summer and fall I kept telling myself when things slow down over winter I'll post more. haha. Now winter has come and gone and I'm telling myself I'll try to post more once I get things organized and settled in the new studio. I can predict what will come next...I'll post more once the spring rush is over. Sigh...that's life I suppose! I have to admit I like it most of the time. I like a little down time as much as the next person, but too much and I go stir crazy, lol. No worries about being bored right now-just a few short weeks until we plan to open our new studio! I am so excited and can't wait to let you all see it! Watch for grand opening specials and news coming soon.<br /><br />Here's a photo of Garrett in the alley just outside the studio.

He's such a little model...haha. Oh and he said the funniest thing the other night, lol. I made a big pot of Gumbo for dinner and we were sitting down with some friends to eat. I mentioned that I loved the okra in it and I couldn't wait to try a bite of it. Well, Garrett gets this shocked look on his face and says "You're going to eat OPRAH?!!!" Haha!!

Sure it was cloudy and windy, but we had temps near 60 yesterday. So out we went to find some puddles to tromp through (until she fell in one and said it was too "nasty"). <br /><br />I'll post more when I get them edited...for now here's one of my little girly girl getting as close to dirty as you'll ever find her. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leahprofancik/2271969879/" title="feels like spring by ~LeahP~, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2171/2271969879_4d8a8f467c_o.jpg" width="500" height="750" alt="feels like spring" /></a>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06309989606917361091noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26095913.post-21257466952024878732008-02-16T22:13:00.008-05:002008-02-17T08:21:06.934-05:00jo<a href="http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q183/lprofancik/?action=view¤t=Untitled-1copytextureblog.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q183/lprofancik/Untitled-1copytextureblog.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q183/lprofancik/?action=view¤t=10_sampleablog.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q183/lprofancik/10_sampleablog.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q183/lprofancik/?action=view¤t=IMG_3237blog.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q183/lprofancik/IMG_3237blog.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />My beautiful sister, Joanna (Jojo). She's seriously one of the coolest people I know (course I think all of my sisters rock). She wears funky outfits and doesn't give a rat's hiney what people think. Her socks often don't match...but somehow they still look great on her. She's SUPER smart and cute. And she wants to go to school to study astronomy. I see her working for NASA in a few years. She knows what she believes in and sticks to her guns. See...she's a pretty cool sister! Love ya, girl!<br /><br /><br />*The sale on my actions and papers will end tomorrow night!

Could also be that I'm their mom and totally biased, but hey, that's fine. ;-)<br /><br />Garrett is by far the easiest of my kids to photograph. The kid wants to be a model. His main reasoning for this is that he wants to get paid. More money = more DS games and a mini dirt bike...which I told him he could buy now, but he isn't riding it until he's 16. I know I'm a mean mom. Haha...so anyways, I'm not sold on the modeling idea, so in the meantime he models for me.

It's true, we do dote on this little girl, all of us...Damian, myself, the boys. She is more then special to us. <br />So we all stop and watch her when she dances and then dance with her. So we all jump to give her kisses and "minky" (her word for candy) when she gets hurt. So we all fight over who gets to sit by her when we go out to eat. So she has her daddy wrapped tight around her little finger. I admit to all of this. <br /><br />What people either don't know or forget is that Bella is a special blessing from God that brought incredible joy to our family after a tragic time in our lives. See...she isn't the first little girl born into this family. No...just over 4 years ago our first daughter and our boys first little sister, Emma, went to heaven. She died just before her due date leaving a gaping hole in our hearts. God is a big God and with his strength we made it through the worst of the pain. We grew together as a family and learned that God gives joy where most people can't imagine it. <br />We found out that we were going to be blessed with another little girl. And when Bella Grace was born she was our little princess girl. There is no way Bella replaces Emma, but we felt so lucky to have Bella safe and sound with us. Another chance to raise a little girl. So...yes, we do give Bella a lot of love and attention. She is a special blessing that reminds me daily of God's grace. <br /><br />So...perhaps you can see why we might give our baby girl so much love. We know first hand that life is so fragile. Hang on tight to the ones you love. :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leahprofancik/2227194325/" title="happy girl by ~LeahP~, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2006/2227194325_c28f6a3434_o.jpg" width="528" height="700" alt="happy girl" /></a>Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06309989606917361091noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26095913.post-68578891826843929302008-01-16T08:44:00.000-05:002008-01-16T08:46:09.072-05:00chris and his itchy hat<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leahprofancik/2178076002/" title="itchy hat by ~LeahP~, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2173/2178076002_7fc16ec2e4_o.jpg" width="588" height="800" alt="itchy hat" /></a><br /><br />He looks so stinkin' cute in it, but he won't wear it for more then 5 minutes because according to him the fur "itches his ears", lol.

Our remodel project is almost finished and I can't tell you how ready I am for that. Although I'm already planning which room to attack next, hehe. Then in just a few weeks we have huge things happening with my business...I'm so excited!<br /><br />I'll try to get back in the swing of things on the blog now that the holiday madness has slowed. Here are a couple of Garrett for now.Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06309989606917361091noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26095913.post-71016060293539973292008-01-07T08:42:00.000-05:002008-01-07T08:43:13.457-05:00we are blessed<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/seMqcijEi9o&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/seMqcijEi9o&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />This was a humbling reminder of how much I have and how much I can do to help others.Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06309989606917361091noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26095913.post-38978610070316605202008-01-03T08:56:00.001-05:002008-01-03T09:02:20.630-05:00Actions are on the wayHey everyone! I just wanted to give you all an update on the actions. If you ordered after Friday (the 28th) at noon you are probably still waiting on your actions. Due to the weekend and the New Year Holidays (and the Christmas Holiday) we are still trying to get caught up on getting all of the actions out. I also want to thank you all for the incredible response to the action sale. :-) If you ordered your actions on the 27th or earlier and have not received them, please email me as those should have all been sent out. <br /><br />Thanks again for your patience! We expect to be caught up by this time tomorrow. Have a blessed day.Leahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06309989606917361091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26095913.post-48610598994664822007-12-19T21:55:00.001-05:002007-12-19T22:04:16.823-05:00thank you, thank you!!!<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leahprofancik/2110264785/" title="distorted superman ;-) by ~LeahP~, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2301/2110264785_9d8e5b34ec_o.jpg" width="533" height="800" alt="distorted superman ;-)" /></a><br /><br />Congrats to Bec!!!
