NLFA & Defining Moments: How about a contest!

DEFINING MOMENTS:There comes a moment in every persons life that is...well as a close friend put it "a defining moment". I had mine last fall and because of these wonderful people that came into my life I have learned so much with them. Self worth, endurance, strength inside out, and faith in myself. Not that I was lacking in all of these....well ok I was but I needed to be healthy and to show myself that I could do this. I want to be my best for my husband and for my kids, I want to feel creative all the time and to show them to dream big! I actually played for the first time in years in the snow one day with the kids, I mean rough and tumble, in your face kind of play. It was so sad that I didn't know how much I had missed it!

MEET MY HEROS, MY NEIGHBORS:

I am really pumped to moving in next door to the most amazing fitness group I have ever met! They have changed my life forever. I have dropped 35 lbs since November with them. Jessie, Jeremy, Ernie, Rana, and Nico are my heros. They are some of the most energentic instructors and personal trainers around! They are hard core but kind at the same time. Everything from training, specialty classes, karate, boxing, Selah, to children's classes. If your looking for something for your kids you've got to see the stuff they do. They also have awesome birthday parties there. And last but not least my man Matt who KINDLY tells me when I'm not having good form or squatting low enough. I know I need it...Thanks!) Recently we've signed on (Dwayne & I) to do the "biggest winner contest". A take off the "biggest looser" but here we're all winners. It's an 8 week challenge that has been amazing. I've seen changes in all 20 people, all different shapes and sizes. The 2 teams are both going for points and I think it's pretty close. Gotta give a shout out to my "RED TEAM"...you guys are awesome, I'm so proud of all of you. Ok "Go Blue", gotta cheer everyone on, they are all WINNERS!

I can't wait for you to meet them in our final challenge. I'll be sure to post pics. It's hard to take them when you're on the team!

PERSONAL CHALLENGE CONTEST:
Now that I have found that I do have what it takes, I know that I can make life changing decisions that will affect my whole family as well as some of the people around me. I have had, "my defining moment". I challenge you to find your inner self, I'm not saying you have to loose weight, exercise, (although it helps) I'm saying figure out something new for you. A class, a trip, a long lost friend, a forever friend, a personal challenge!

I would love for some of you to email me or post on here some of your defining moments. The best 2 will win $100 gift certificates! This is open to anyone, but not everyone know about my blog so take advantage of this.

I will have help from 5 other photographers and 2 trainers in deciding who deserves this most. Go for it!

Studio is MOVING!

1440 E. Lark, Suite C
Spfd, MO 65804
I can't believe it took me this long....

Oh my what a whirlwind this month has been! I finally have taken the step to move the studio our from the home. I will officially be open April 5th, but have sessions already booked all next week. I don't think Dwayne was happy that I kept pushing the opening date up. LOL! You all know me though, when I make up my mind I jump with both feet. It may take me a while to get there but when I do it's 100%.

We started painting this weekend. It's hard to believe I just signed the contract a week ago and I'm close to being ready to move in. That's even with the remodeling on the inside and painting that's going on. I have to say....My Husband Rocks!
Wonder what he's planning for where my office was, I wonder if there is a big screen in his future?

Thanks to everyone who popped in over the weekend to see the progress. I even had special visitors form 2 of my favorite kiddos, Allison and Christopher! What a surprise when they popped in with their daddy to see the progress. It made my day. Christopher actually got really close to painting, finger painting that is when he touched the wall! LOL! I wonder if Todd got them ice cream like I suggested before their dinner...Sorry T!

I will be at 1440 E. Lark Street, Suite C (South of Republic Road off Fremont).

I'M BEING PROFILED!!!

My business profile is happening this week!!!!!

Be watching and if you can tell me something I said in my interview with the newsleader I will give you a free 5x7! This is coming out on Wednesday in the business section for the south side that goes out on Wednesdays. You can also view it online...or so I'm told. This week has been amazing, I am moving in the right direction and have so many people to thank for appreciating my art and vision when they let me create memories in my mind, my canvas.

I finally have to give a shout out to Sherrie and Kristi, you know who you are and why I am saying this now. I know why I am here today....mwah and thank you girls!

Recent Baby Affair and New Jewelry line!

Here are some pics from the recent Cox Baby Affair. Thanks to those of you that dropped in and picked up those gift certificates at buy 1 get 1. It was great seeing you. I'm glad you all were able to take advantage of it during the one day only sale!

Special thanks to my lab and Melissa with Heart to Heart, without them I could not have pulled it together. I could have sold 10 of those rings right off the bat even last night out with friends. I can't wait for you all to see this stuff. It'll be on the website within the next week or so. They are so amazing, naturally I had to get me my own personal items and haven't taken the ring off yet! LOL! I am also the exclusive vendor for this jewelry in the Spfd area so if you are in need of any of this line or have a friend that want's something similiar to yours send them my way. Remember those "fairy dollars" AKA referal bonuses, as always this is a great way to get your stuff free!

I don't know how I did it but it all came together!!!! I will post the winning names from the event soon. I know I met the big winner for the event but her name escapes me. We also had 2 winner from our booth and Whitney and Jill have those names.

Ohhh...forgot to mention that I will be also be in the Pickles and Ice Cream luncheon in November! They asked me right on the spot...they must have liked my setup. "The Womens Center" staff and volunteers at Cox were absolutely incredible to work with. This being the first time to really go public with my business I couldn't have picked a better place for my debut. Thank you so very much!

See you all soon!
