This is a Daddy

While I was down with one of my MANY migraines, Craig decided to pull the tent out of the garage and watch a movie with the girls outside. REALLY?? He amazes me with his love for his girls and me! The movie was Rio and they had popcorn and had to have blankets, pillows, pop, and dolls with them. I married this man because of how he loved me and he makes me fall in love with more and more with how he is a daddy to our girls!!!

Tom & Marsha

‎Marsha Gunn was my first client and has trusted me wth several pictures since! She wanted some fun pictures of her and her sweet hubby Tom. They were so cute together almost like an engaged couple but they've been married for almost 15 years!! Thanks you guys!!

I heart Nashville!!

Mom and I just got back from Nashville, TN and we had a GREAT time!!! Mom had a conference and I got to tag along. It just so happens that my Aunt, my Mom's sister lives there as well, so her and my Uncle Gary showed us around. I've been wanting to take some pictures for them of just the two of them and we got the chance at a beautiful place called "Cheekwood". It was beautiful!!

One of the things I've become very good at in my life is eating!! So, they took us to some great places to eat. When they mentioned there was a place named "I Dream of Weenies" I had to go!! and Yes that is a VW bug it's made out of!! Check out the planters!

This picture is dedicated to my sweet friend Kristen McCarty. I don't even know if she looks at my blog but while I was at Cheekwood this lady was just sitting by herself and it reminded me of Kristen. I'm going to make up a great story for her and send her the picture!!

OK PEOPLE!!! If you go to Nashville YOU MUST stop at "The Loveless".....My only regret is that I didn't take any pictures of my plate before I ate it!! If you like "homecooking" you can't beat this place!!! And it was featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives".......Sooooo Good!!!

All good things must come to an end, but Klista, Mom, and Me on the last night of our trip got tickets to the "Grand Ole Opry" and it was great!! Just the experience of being there was just as good as seeing Carrie Underwood, Josh Turner, and Randy Travis. Thanks Mom for always letting me tag along with you on your trips!! Thanks to my Aunt and Uncle for showing is a great time in Nashville!! and Thanks to my Awesome Husband for taking care of the girls and letting me have a break!! I love you so much!!



OU Mini Sessions

It was just OU fans, but my first attempt at "Mini Sessions" were fun!! Here are just a few of my favorites from the morning. Thank you to the Weaver, Roger, and Conine Families for letting me test it out on you!!!



Using BlouJphotography photos on the Web

I get lots of questions on if you can use the photos from your session on your personal social sites... Facebook, Myspace, etc.

And the answer is...........YES!!!! I encourage everyone to use them!

However you MAY NOT....
~ crop my name off them
~ re-edit them
~ scan them,
~ take a picture of them, etc.

I take alot of time to get pics ready JUST for the web, so you can show them off! But when I see them in a different version of what I have done... it makes me cringe. So please do not alter what I have done! I especially don't like seeing a photo of mine WITH my name on it... that has been altered, because it does not represent my work the way I intended it to be.
I make it fairly easy for you to share them with your friends... all you have to do is right click them to save them. Then share the joy with your friends & family! :)

I try to post a pic from every session on Facebook or on the Blog! Please feel free to use them, but the exact way that they were posted.

This is the way some of my pictures are posted, but sometimes I don't put my logo on them. Either way they are MY pictures and should NOT be re-edited, cropped, or re-touched.

I don't want to have to start posting them like this!! yuck!!!
