We are having a crazy snow and ice storm, which is unusual for Tulsa. Earlier this week the temperatures were about 30 degrees higher. The evidence from my 30 second trip outdoors:

Thursday, January 28th, 2010We had a visit from the tooth fairy last night!
Old Favorites
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010I ran across these on my external hard drive the other day, and fell in love all over again. I loved this session, and have Ms. Policewoman in the studio still, years later (this spunky toddler is now a spunky preschooler!)
i heart faces
Sunday, January 10th, 2010A favorite photography site is having a contest this week: i heart faces. Here is a favorite face for my entry (my own Miss J), taken on Saturday. I am making the most fabulous valentines for her, so check back next week for a peek!
A “He’s Going to Lose His First Tooth” Session
Saturday, January 9th, 2010My kindergartener is so close to losing his first baby tooth. My mommy heart is breaking over this milestone! E-Man has the most infectious smile ever, and his tiny little bottom tooth is wiggly. I had to get one last portrait of his baby smile. (Strange fact: E-Man has an extra front tooth…..he has 21 baby teeth instead of twenty.)
2010 Ramblings
Thursday, January 7th, 2010((Ramblings from an already overwhelmed me on the New Year))
* I cannot believe a new decade is here. Serious happenings in the previous decade: I got married, made 3 beautiful babies, 'retired' from teaching, moved to a new state, and became a business owner. Wow!
* One of my New Year's Resolutions is to take more snapshots of my kids (like below). My personal photo albums are suffering, and I'm a couple months behind on printing my family's photos. I vow to take more snaps and not worry so much about perfect composition and settings. My point and shoot camera is so very lonely.
* New Christmas toys and items turn me into a crazy woman — I feel like my house is totally unorganized. January always makes me want to spend hundreds of dollars on containers and organize my world.
*RockBand for wii has entered the Miller household. The kids are obsessed with being rock stars and learning the words to their favorite songs. I am embarrassed to say that the only way that I can complete a song without getting boo'ed off stage is by using the LEGO kids' version on SUPER EASY.
* Going to the gym in January annoys me. I wish all the newbies would ditch their resolutions already and get off my favorite elliptical. Just sayin'.
* January is a thankfully slow month for photogs. It's just newborns and birthdays, and I am enjoying the quiet.
* I am working on new products, policies, and baby plans for 2010 for Melissa Miller Photos. Very exciting stuff! I also have an entire new blog design coming before spring — can't wait!
*A very happy 2010 to you all. Hope the new year treats you well!
And the winner is…
