Below is a interestingly funny email I received recently. Thought I’d pass it along for good humor.

{not so long ago} – fort worth photographer
{braums!} – fort worth photographer
I’m currently wondering if I’m the last person in Texas to learn about Braum’s AWESOME dairy products. I’ve heard of braums all my life being that I grew up in Oklahoma and they’re everywhere, but I didn’t realize how excellent their products (their animals are raised on a healthy, hormone and antibiotic free diet) AND prices are. That’s the kicker for me. At walmart, a gallon of hormone free milk costs almost $5 but at a braum’s store, it costs only $2.50!!! That’s the same price as normal milk that’s chalk full of who knows what. And WHY (I ask myself) have I been buying milk and eggs anywhere else? As soon as these two gallons currently sitting in my fridge are gone, I’m shopping Braums- and supporting this quality, family owned business. Ready, set, go!
A few more of the carlins. I think I’m finished.
I loved their super casual outfits

{recent couple} – fort worth photographer
These are some good friends of mine of whom I photographed a week or so ago. Brian found this awesome spot downtown Ftw. I think it used to be a church but now it’s a police station of some sort. I loved the texture of the brick and cobblestone. You may recall Sommer is the friend who photographed Adam and I’s maternity portraits. Anyway, there were lots of fun ones- I’m sure I’ll be posting more as I find time.
{mommy alert} – fort worth child photographer
I was recently introduced to www.caregiversmarketplace.com, which is an organization whose soul mission is to ease some of the financial burden of caring for an ill, elderly, or disabled family member or friend. They team with companies like Kimberly Clark to provide rebates on products you already purchase. Check it out. For the mommies out there using Huggies diapers, you’ll definitely want to check it out!
Also, a few from a recent little session with a dear friend. She is due in April and has the sweetest little three year old. Her hubby’s joined the military and is in boot camp as we speak. He’ll be away for several months and won’t be able to be there for the birth. Deena’s probably one of the strongest people I know, but it’s still going to be a time of stretching. We’re all praying for the perfectly easy baby, right Deena?!
There’s no question who her mommy is, right?
Her mommy’s tickles sure got her laughing!
I love the above right one. What a perfect solemn expression.
{mnm- phrase origins}
This week’s contest will again be “phrase origins”. I’ll tell you a common phrase and you’ll tell me what it means and where you think it originated. You’ll receive a point for each you guess correctly, so you could receive two points per phrase.
This week’s phrases are:
1) “Warts and all”
2) “Jump on the bandwagon”
Rules: Deadline- monday at midnight. Who wins- the person with the most points. How to submit answers- email them to amandalynnphoto@yahoo.com. I’ll actually let you use the internet this week:) Prize- I will edit one of your photos.
{pettiskirt contest} – fort worth child photographer
Just an update on my pettiskirt contest. To enter, submit a cute photo of your precious little girl (accepting ages 6 and under) to amandalynnphoto@yahoo.com. The deadline is the end of February. I will pick my favorite from the pictures of course- so send a good one that shows off your cutie! Feel free to tell me why your daughter should be the winner.
The winner will receive a complimentary portrait session modeling the pettiskirt as well as an 8×10 of your favorite image. I will announce the winner early March- so keep posted! The winner’s mom will be asked to provide me with your daughter’s measurements (waist and waist to knee) so be ready for that. The designer will then custom make a petti to fit your daughter. I’m not sure yet what color petti I’ll have her make. I’ll choose a color that compliments the winner.
We’ll also need to accessorize the skirt so, mom, be ready to dig in her closet to find some fun leggings, shoes, shirts, etc. I’ll have some ideas that will help.
