Smushed... that is a good word.  This is a very smushed together post.  Maybe it should be a glimpse into my head - because at the moment there are SOOOOO many things going on up in there that I cannot even get one thought out without having another wanting out!  LOL  So there is the title... a glimpse into Lindsay's head - a small glimpse - because otherwise I would be here for a while!

First things first...

Did you notice my new splash page?  If you have my blog bookmarked, then you most likely did not notice it!  So go check it out!  It is the entry page for my websites and I LOVE IT!!!  It is truly fabulous!  Kim over at Simply Splash helped me in getting my vision together and she is absolutely divine to work with!  Anyway, you will notice the senior site is in the works :0) - and over the next 30 days there will be lots of changes and new things happening!  It is super exciting!!!

So onto the next part of this post...

I have met so many new people lately and have gotten to see a lot of the existing Fabulous Occasions family!  This past weekend was a whirlwind with engagements all day Saturday and babies all day Sunday!  I am behind in my blog posting as far as sessions go, so I thought before I left town on my summer jaunt up to Lubbock to visit family and work with my fabulous clients up in that direction, that I would share just a sample of some new stuff! 

I am kinda glad I am behind though, because that means that the next 30 days will be REALLY surprising!  :0)  Remember all those changes?

Ok so here we go...  this is really long, so prepare yourself...

love this... the sky - the sunflare - the movement - the texture
ok are they not the cutest?!
driving off into the sun :0)
FABULOUS!
totally natural, totally them!!!
the one shot with the fab hat!
SO CUTE!!! - look at the color!  love it!
i haven't used this corner of my house in so long... I am so glad we did for this!
She has the cutest little expressions!
4 year old studliness!!!
and baby brother...  I love the look of this image!
this is totally me... everything about this image... THIS is what I love and if it were me I would have this HUGE in my house
ok is this not just the most fabulous everything... the expression on her face, her hand, the fact that the phone is upside down!
oops out of order!  love his sweet expression here!
oh to be a little girl...
LOL
my fave image from her session!
we used my new toys!  after all, you just have those days when you CANNOT decide which pink outfit to wear!
this little guy is so so sweet!  He is so comfy in his hannah anderson pjs!
there is not much better than a baby on a black background in black and white, unless you catch them trying to put their foot in their mouth and they look at you like this!
big sister...  such the big helper and as wonderful as they come!
i love this... his big sister's arms around him and that hand up to his eye
last ones!  promise!  this little girl is a DOLL!  and we did what everyone should do with their dolls and we dressed her up!  First sporting a hat from my girlfriend - and - oh wait that is one of those surprises and must not mention it yet - Jill, the owner of Talula's Tutus!  http://www.talulastutus.com/  I know she is working on her website, but you have to check out her CUTE stuff!
here she is sporting her boots!
this cracks me up!  her expression is priceless!
and last - but CERTAINLY not least - one of my all time favorites!  Mom brought this super great froggie towel and it was just fabulous!

alright, so that is all for now and I should say it was enough!  I am heading out and will be back next week - I will still have access to voicemail as well as email.

Hope everyone is having a fabulous summer!

{summer fun}
I must preface this by saying I really really do not like sidewalk chalk.  I don't like that my baby likes to EAT it - yes - he eats it (blech!)  I don't like that we tend to forget about it and it gets rained on and buckets of unused and partially used chalk get ruined and become a soupy mess.  I don't like having it all over me.

BUT BUT BUT!  

I really do love drawing with it.  Doesn't make sense, huh?!?!?  

It is so fun to make chalk people or write stuff all crazy.  I love it when I come across secret messages that were written with it.  

SO I guess you can say I have a love hate relationship with the stuff!

We had a lot of fun the other day outside and some chalk had to make an appearance.  I thought I would share something fabulous from that day.  :0)

I have lots of clients to post, but for now, this will be my own fabulous occasion!  ;0)

On a work note, I have had such an enormous response for models and I am pumped about it!  I got so many great emails from moms gushing about their kids!  I LOVE that!!!  It is so great being a mom!  How fun is it to be totally and completely biased to the fact that these little creatures that we are raising are the most fabulous, most beautiful, most amazing little people to have ever graced this amazing planet!!!  There is nothing like your own babies!!! 

Here are mine... and yes, they are the most spunky, gorgeous, amazing, truly breathtaking little people ever, and I could not imagine life without them...

{crystal ball}
At times, don't you wish you had a crystal ball?  It would be nice... sometimes!  I'm giving you a bit of a peek into my Fabulous crystal ball..... 
if only I could tell you what it means!  LOL

And starring in my crystal ball is a face you will recognize!  He has graced the pages of my blog many times.  Here are some of my favorites from his 3 month session!


And a few more for now... these are some other recognizable faces...  I couldn't help it - I didn't think anyone would mind...  
my baby boy - so sweet

i can't decide which version i like more... what do you think?
and them - um - yeah - this is another of my sweet baby boys!  LOL  he is one of the most expressive, spirited, CRAZY kids I know - and that is just fabulous!

Have a great night!

{Splish Splash}
Are you ready for this?  Seriously.... ARE YOU READY!?!?!?!?  I have such an enormous, super cool, incredibly awesome, DOWNRIGHT FABULOUS announcement!!!!!
So...  you ready?
I am so so excited to share what we have in store for this summer!  This is the first of a few announcements coming.  Fabulous Occasions is taking a dip, folks!  IN THE POOL!!!!!
How much would you just absolutely LOVE to have images of your children swimming underwater?  And we aren't talking just your average shots, either!  How much would you LOVE to have FABULOUS images?  Well, HERE is your chance!
For limited dates, I am offering underwater pool sessions.  Here is the nitty gritty....
You call me - we set up your time
You show up to our secret location - ok so it isn't so so secret - but it is a POOL!
For younger children come prepared to get in with them - trust me, I won't take any of you in your bathing suit, so no worries!  Well, of course, unless you want me to!
I shoot, with my super fab new gear, and you score some pretty fabulous prints that all of your friends will drool over!
Now the cost...  we have to get to that part, right?  $250 for your session and $150 of that will go toward your print purchase.  
Could it get much easier?!?!?
Now for some images....





I mean, seriously, how fabulous would these be hanging in your kid's bathroom?  Or on a super fun happy summer card?  Or for a pool party invite?  Or hanging in the pool house or beach cabin?  I just cannot even tell you how cool I think this is!
So call or email me!  I anticipate the spots to fill up quick...

AND for any of you on swim teams, I am available to do groups, but these will be VERY limited!  Have a representative from your team contact me and I can discuss details!

Happy Summer!
