i {heart} blu

July 29, 2010

we had lots of fun this morning trying to win some stuff w/ blu. Even if we don’t win, we sure had fun doing the pics… Just hoping the neighbors didn’t see me looking like I had a mop on my head and in my jammies. (by the time I saw the contest we had about 3 minutes to get it done before the contest was over) hehe, it was fun:)

I just had to squeeze in this sneak peek….isn’t he so sweet and adorable. I think this is my most fave picture! He was such a good baby!
Almost done with your proofs “b” family….congrats on your new little bundle of joy.
xo, christina
ps….the “b” family drives a chevy too (made sure of that before using the vintage chevy as a backdrop;) I drive a chevy too:)

UPDATE…GIVEAWAY - ok, so I just thought of this little giveaway as I was posting this sneak peek…. If you drive a chevy, leave a note on my blog or on my facebook wall and viola…your entered. Ok, so what if you don’t own a chevy? Well, if you just leave a note on the blog or facebook wall and say that you saw the cutie patootie baby in front of the chevy truck…well, viola! your entered. Gonna give away a few Starbucks & Christina G Gift Cards (don’t forget to tell your friends about the giveaway….that is a bonus giveaway!;)

email on the fritz…

July 26, 2010

So, I just found like 25+ emails in a junk folder that I need to return from the last few days that went through my website…. I have no idea why they went going into “junk” and have no idea how long this has been happening (it is only showing me mail in the “junk” for the last few days). I’ll tell ya, I am already kind of spacey and having a hard time keeping up in the busy season, but, OH! people must thing I am horrible for never getting back to them. So sorry….. this has happened before and I have no idea why - If for some reason, ya send me an email and I don’t get back to you within a 2 or 3 days (sometimes it takes that long) give me a call. Thanks - xo, christina
….now I know one reason why some thought I was in LaLa land…;) ha!

just a note…

July 25, 2010

So, I have gotten a few messages in the last week asking if I am taking time off or if I am still alive… I have been working like crazy…most days starting at 5 or 6 am. I have not posted many sneak peeks because time just doesn’t allow. When I get totally overwhelmed, blogging/fb seems to be the 1st to go. I am just trying to stay focused and keep on trucking with proofing and orders. I feel so bad and really hope that clients don’t assume that I didn’t like their pics and that’s why I didn’t sneak peek them. Oh my, that is totally not why at all. So, just wanted to let my peeps know, I am still alive and well. Just crazy busy! Btw…. Just got the keys to the new studio and will be working on that (in my spare moments, hehe). I will be moving in August and will keep an update. Check back for more info:)

Hannah is my babysitter….She is the best babysitter ever;) She is also graduating this year. I am so proud of her. She is such a beautiful girl!!!
Oh, and I love my new chair! Got it from my friends at Forget Me Nots on 4th Street in Cda! Check out their store, they have some fabulous junk for sale;)

the k. family

July 12, 2010

I have to admit….I seriously felt some pressure before this photo shoot. Megan is a photographer from Arizona. She planned a trip to the NW but was going out of her way to have pictures done. She came on the same weekend as Iron Man (which is crazy $ for hotels) She was here just the one night….so, I had one chance to capture her family. I guess in my mind, I was like….oh my gosh, what if I forget how to use my camera….what if something weird starts happening with my camera and don’t know what to do about it….and on and on. So crazy! Well, they couldn’t of been dressed more adorable! I love, love the patterns and colors! She totally rocked on her choice of clothing! (the dresses are from Target) They are a gorgeous family! (check out her site - she is awesome!)

life is crazy…

July 9, 2010

It has been a crazy month….it has been such a busy month. I have not been able to keep up with the blog world (as you can see…) Lots of FUN sessions and awesome projects I have been working on. I have also been on the hunt for the perfect studio and have a couple that I am seriously considering.
I seriously have the BEST clients. Sometimes I seem to take on a little more than I can do in a day, but everyone has been so very very patient and I thank you for that!!!! I love my job. I love my clients. I am blessed.
