Just a couple things.

Filed under: Photography — jhicksphoto @ 5:13 pm

First of all, WHAT THE HECK!!! Another friggin hurricane. Like I said, I’m not leaving. I’m prepared for bad weather. I know things will get scary. I’m already scared and the sun is shining outside. I don’t know what will happen, but I’m hoping for the best. I sure hope it stays on the track it’s on now. I don’t wish this kinda storm on ANYONE, but you can’t help but pray it goes away from you.

Second, 12 days till website/blog will be revealed! Well probably add a couple days to that before they will be live and available for viewing. But in any case, it’s SOON! Bought my SHOOTSAC! yesterday. If you’re a photographer, you KNOW how cool that is. My 5D and new lens will be here Monday. I’m can’t begin to explain how exciting this is. But my excitement is quickly followed by sadness. I want to share all this with my Dad SO BAD. I want to laugh with him, show him my new camera, watch his face as he browses my website. I remember when I showed him an album I made. He looked through it, closed it and said I can’t even say anything. These are wonderful pictures. My dad is critical, if something was wrong or weird, he would’ve told me. Cause he loves me and wants me to do the BEST I can. I love him for that. But for him to say NOTHING, man my heart melted into mush. I never told him how much that moment meant to me. But out of all the people in the entire world, his opinion was MOST important to me. So I hope he knows I’m doing this ALL for him. For his legacy.

Update on live TV right now. They totally just said Vinton will experience Hurricane force winds. YEP GUYS, that’s where I’ll be :) Me, mom, Nic, Maw Maw, Paw Paw, Chad, Matt, Bub, Patch, Cooper, Buddy, Cheyenne, Lucy, Ginger and horses. The horses will stay outside (yea, they stink :P ), but all the others will be inside. Man, we’re gonna have a tight house. They are comparing this to Rita. I’m scared out of my mind. BUT

This picture makes me smile….

And also, one other thing, then I’ll go pack my things….Check out this album I ordered!

That’s my famous couple, Jessica and Cody. Their wedding is coming up, YAY! That is their sign in book for their guests. If you’re interested in an album (even if your session has already passed) let me know and I’ll make one up for ya!

Much love, and hope to see ya’ll in a couple days!

Gracie

Filed under: Photography — jhicksphoto @ 6:57 am

So my computer just beeped at me that I have exactly ONE HOUR of battery left :) Greaaaaaaaat. It’s nearing 2 a.m. so I think that’s a good thing. I just CANNOT sleep. I’m wide awake, I feel as though I just woke up from the nap of the century! I suppose my buddy, nyquil will help me get some rest in ONE HOUR! I’m starting to get all caught up. Just got little Emma and Mel’s family pictures left. Then I can finish up Gracie’s from tonight. Oh man, was she something else. Me and that kid just clicked. Like we were life long friends. And surprise, my MOM was totally my assistant today! She didn’t really do much assisting, but as least she was there to talk my ear off on the way out to Starks. Just kidding mom, glad you rode along! I am seriously so excited about these pictures. I’m in love with them. For real! Again, wish I could post a slideshow, but STILL havn’t discovered how, soooooooo….

Ok, so the website and blog will launch in about 20 days. This is all I’m showing…use your imagination.

Things are about to change around here big time. I have some secrets. I’ve only told 1 person. And when me and this one person get home from this secret adventure you will not even know what has hit you!!!

You’ll be like WHOOOOOOOOOOOA.

Seriously, it’s 2 a.m. and I’m a little delirious. Leave me comments peeps…..I stayed up so late just to post this blog!!!

Muah!

P.S. Just read what I just posted and realized how many times I said “for real”.  Guys, I’m sorry.  Again, I NEVER stay up this late!  FOR REAL!!!

In honor of Football…

Filed under: Photography — jhicksphoto @ 3:00 am

NFL Season opener tonight! Cowboys on Sunday. Can’t wait!

Anyways, yep we’re home. Terrible trip. Glad to be back, and pray I don’t have to leave again. Hurricanes SUCK!

This little business of mine is going on hold temporarily. Money is tight, and of course you know, it takes money to MAKE money. I go back to my real job September 29th. Just so ya’ll know. I know I’ve been promising big things, and they are certainly coming, just on the back burner for now! I’ll still be posting gorgeous pictures of gorgeous people, don’t worry :P

I’d love some comments. Love to know who reads this, love to have your website (if you’re a photographer), love to take your picture (if you’re a potential customer :P ). I’d just love to know what you’re up to. Thanks everyone for keeping my family in your prayers. I think it’s working. We haven’t forgotten you Dad, and never will. But that pressure I’ve had on my heart is slowing lifting.
