and this one still isn’t. 
Poor blog is suffering from some serious neglect. I’ll get back to it. I’ve been suffering as well from the longest cold or what-have-you in history. It’s FINALLY starting to get better after more than 2 weeks. Being pregnant and sick is not fun at all. SO-all that to say I will update on here soon. I just feel the need to update on the place that helps bring in the money first.
Go check Andrew out. One. Seriously. Cute. Boy.
and this blog will be updated soon too! We are settling in after moving to northwest Arkansas! I’ve been so busy so that I haven’t even blogged about that yet but we HAVE moved and I will tell you more in the next day or so! Happy blogging!
to the northwest side? Doesn’t have quite the same ring as the original but it is true nonetheless! We are moving to Northwest Arkansas!
Here’s what’s going down.
James has been looking for a job (in DFW) for the past 3 months but we just haven’t found anything really worthwhile. NWA has always been tucked away in our minds as somewhere we’d like to live but the timing just never seemed right. Well…at least until now.
With sweet Baby in our lives our desire to live in small town Arkansas by family and friends has grown stronger. The fact that no interesting job prospects have been found in DFW and with housing prices the way they are here (for what we pay in rent for an apartment here we could have a really nice home in NWA) the timing has never seemed better. So, we prayed that God would guide us and not allow us to make a mistake and…this is the decision we’ve come to! My wonderful parents are graciously hosting us when we make our move and until we can find where we will live and James is settled into his job. (He left today to go up and start looking.)
We will make our move around the end of this month. Our current lease is up July 5th. So-it will be quick which is better for me (go on and rip the band-aid off fast!) because although I am extremely excited about this move it will still be bittersweet leaving Texas behind. James’ family lives an hour from us right now and we have many friends that we will miss. And I have to admit…I will even miss being a Texan. There is some kind of pride that must be secretly injected into a person when they move here and like a virus it grows and gets into your blood. So-I WILL miss being a Texan gal but it will be well worth it to live near my fabulous family!
With all that being said here are a few other notes of interest. We are not sure exactly WHICH town we will settle in but we have hopes that it will be Siloam Springs. Red House Photography will being making the transition with us, of course (with reduced sitting fees announced soon). We would love your prayers as James is looking for a job this week and following. We would love your photography business too! 
We are super excited about this new era in our lives and look forward to spending more time with you dear friends in NWA! I’ll be keeping you updated!
Red House Photography’s blog has been updated with pics from a recent session. You can see even more pics of her in her FEATURED gallery at www.redhousephotography.com.
Enjoy!
The time has come for me to ask a huge favor of you. It does not require any strenuous work, mental or physical and would only require a couple of moments of your time. It will cost you nothing but will reward you with a happy feeling that you helped someone out. Interested?
I am working at trying to get redhousephotography.com picked up by search engines such as google and yahoo. My dear friend Megan (who is THE woman to go to with a question on just about any subject…she is a plethora of knowledge) has told me that having as many links to Red House Photography as possible will help in this process. So…I’m asking you…my blog readers, friends and family to consider adding redhousephotography.com to your links and blogroll. You would be doing a huge kindness for me and I will be eternally grateful!!!
And…if I ever shoot any pictures for you…I’ll throw in a couple of free prints from your order as a tangible “Thank You!”
You rock!
with pics from NWA. If you haven’t added the Red House blog to your blogroll you need too! I’ll be doing a good amount of my blogging over there (anything business and photography related). All personal blogs will continue to be posted here. Enjoy the pics. More to come soon!
The Red House Photography website is about to launch. Although it isn’t completely done (galleries won’t be up but there will be a crazy long slideshow on the home page) I felt it important to get it up and rolling ASAP. Spring is here so it is prime time for photography. I’ll give you the final word when it is up. I’m just waiting on bludomain.com now. (By the way…if you ever need a flash site…theirs rock.)
Anyway, Red House also has a blog of its own now. While this blog will remain active as my personal blog, redhousephotography.wordpress.com will be the dedicated site for everything RH. So…feel free to link up the new blog as well as the website! After all, word of mouth is the best advertising so feel free to blab away. 
I will let you know (on both blogs) as soon as the website is up.
PS-I will be in northwest Arkansas on Wednesday of this week for about a week. If you are up there and want to book a session let me know. My info is on the other blog. Any session I book for this trip to NWA will receive a 1/2 price session fee ($75 instead of the normal $150). Limited times available.
I had a wonderful shoot today with little Ryder. I’m just convinced he is the cutest and sweetest little boy in the world! And, his hair…it stands up naturally all the time! How completely precious is that? His mama did style a mohawk for me later on in the shoot. I just can’t get enough of this little guy and got more than a reasonable amount of amazing shots. In fact…we captured an absurd amound of cuteness today. Here’s just a little taste of the hundreds of great shots from today.
FYI-my website WILL be up soon…as in a couple of weeks. That’s my goal. I’ll let you know.
Well…I’m still awake but after I post this I’m going to go hop in bed and curl up next to my sleeping hubby. Then I’m going to warm my cold hands and feet on him…he’ll love that, I promise! Actually though, considering he woke me today by putting HIS FREEZING cold hands on me (which of course he thought was HILARIOUS), I think it’s payback time!
Anyway, here is precious, precious Leah. I can’t wait to see how she’s grown next trip…though it will inevitably make me a little sad! My mom said she has really changed since Christmas is just has more personality than ever. Love her!!!
