I’m so excited to be writing this post, I don’t even know where to begin! So I’ll just say it:
I am joining the F8 team and will now be the child photographer behind F8 Kids!! My Christmas present came a little early when I was asked to be a part of F8 Studio. To work alongside these amazing wedding photographers is literally a dream come true. I hope that you’ll come along with me and continue to be the wonderful clients that you have been over the last five years.
I can now be reached at:
kristy@f8studio.com
And you can see all of my work from this point on at:

Thank you, Gary (and Rachel!), and the rest of the F8 crew for welcoming me!
I’m still around, just trying to get things ready for school! My oldest starts kindergarten in a few weeks and I’m trying to get used to THAT idea. 
Before I leave you with a picture of my school-bound boy and his little brother, keep in mind that Christmas is coming up! I know, I know, it seems early. But I’m already having inquiries and plan on putting together some mini-sessions this year so keep your eye on the blog!
I know I have several blog-stalkers who stalk specifically for one face. This face. My girl’s face. So here she is. This was totally unplanned. I have been so busy lately, I haven’t taken very many pictures of her. But as I was rushing out the door to pick up her brothers today, she was sitting there smiling at me in all of her pink-polka-dotted-cuteness. So I grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Here she is (of course not smiling), proudly holding her brothers’ John Deere tractor. She’ll be nine months in a few weeks. Can you believe it?
Those of you keeping up with my blog will remember Julie and her kiddos. I wanted to post about them again because we received such an amazing response after the first post about them. So many people have told me how touched they were by Julie and her incredible stregnth. I, for one, have been changed forever since meeting her. Not only do I have a new friend (survivor friend, as I like to call her) from it, but I think about her all the time and how I need to be a better mommy, a better person…a better me. In fact, I was having a tough time with one of my own kids today. I mean, we’re talkin’ make-my-blood-pressure-go-WAY-up kind of tough time. But I kept thinking about Julie and told myself to dig deep for patience and realize how lucky I am to have my kids and my life.
Before I post the pictures, I just wanted to say how excited I am for Julie. She is going to be celebrating her 34th birthday this month! It is a really BIG deal for her because her own mother died from breast cancer when she was 33. And yes, I will be celebrating with her on for her special day. I am so excited!
Thank you, Julie, for everything you’ve taught me since I’ve known you. Thank you for sharing your words, strength and friendship. And thank you for including me in your birthday celebration!
These are a few of Julie’s favorites:
I’d also like to say thanks again to Terrah for introducing me to this amazing family!! See you soon Julie!
