Cute...

If I had a million dollars. Hey if I even had everything paid off and a thousand dollars THIS is what I would buy for Mia TODAY!!!!

Pottery Barn Kids Kitchen Set

You just have to go look at it. It is the cutest thing I have EVER seen. It would be so perfect for her too. Mia loves to help unload the dishwasher and is constantly taking dishes out of the cabinet into the living room, stacking them up and putting them back away. She likes to sweep, and clean. That gene definitely skipped a generation!!

Just thought I would let you all know about it just in case someone is thinking about christmas........ :)

Sprinkler fun......

We got a new sprinkler for our yard yesterday. It is about dead....as you can see in the background. Saylor got it all set up in the yard now we have to sit and wait for our official watering day. Don't tell anyone, (because I am sure this is against the water restrictions) but we turned it on just enough for Mia to play in the water. We had originally gone outside to swing, that is why she has on a diaper instead of her swimsuit. Those Luvs diapers will hold A LOT of liquid!!! Look at the bottom picture where Mia is just about to lose it because the diaper is SO heavy. She had so much fun playing in the sprinkler. Mommy had fun playing with her camera. I haven't done much "just for me" pictures recently. These were a lot of fun. Mia has finally realized what I am doing with the camera now I think. When she sees me with it she will look at me for a second or two longer than usual. She has even started doing a cheesy smile when she sees me pointing the camera at her. GREAT! I thought I hadn't taught her that. I guess it's just instinct for her to be cheesy! Last night I was asking her "Mia, can you try to drink some more water from the sprinkler for me?" AND she said "YEAH" and did it again!!!! Finally, I feel like we are communicating. It's about time, Mia! When she did drink again I got this:

Brothers....

I just finished proofing these this morning. These boys below to a friend of mine from church. They were so much fun. They were even disappointed when we were done taking pictures. I think these could be my best session yet. You can see the rest here http://cindymillsphotos.photosite.com/ The album titled "brothers." .

Also I think I forgot to mention that I have my new official website all updated and in place. www.cindymillsphotography.com
I have taken the advice of my "mentor" and my prices and polices are now in place. I think I am starting an ACTUAL business.
On another note I am teaching an art camp this week for 7 4-5 yr old girls. FUN, FUN, FUN. So I'm off to prepare for today's lesson.

Bride on a bike.....

EDITED TO ADD: you can see the rest here http://cindymillsphotos.photosite.com

I took these last night. It was SO MUCH FUN! The fake tattoo was my friend Ronna's idea. Thanks! She loved it. I did the engagement photos for this couple back in April and I knew she would be just as fun for her bridal photos. She just wanted 12 good ones to make a calendar for him as a wedding gift. This is his motorcyle and he has NO IDEA......he was out of town for the weekend. I was feeling really uncreative when we started, but got into by the end. I hope I can do more photoshoots like this. It was so much fun. I really struggled with the sun being in the way on this one and I learned alot about working on my exposure, but I think overall it went o.k. I hope she likes them.
