I have un-officially become the poster designer for the girl’s basketball and softball teams at Blue Valley West, which is always a blast for the graphic designer in me. I was able to shoot the pictures for this poster today and am just throwing up a couple shots right away. These are some pretty good-looking softball players and oh, by the way, they are pretty darn good at the game as well!

You might remember my post a few weeks ago where I went on a shooting spree with my pal, Tasha. I made her let me take her pictures that day, even though she was “ready” for that. So, I was so thrilled when she contacted me to do some head shots for her. Gorgeous Tasha is heading to audition to be a cruise ship entertainer!!!! A cruise ship entertainer!!!! This girl has pipes….unbelievable pipes! She is an incredible artist who has a real gift. I was her pastor when she won “Youth America’s Idol” at a summer camp of 800 students. Wow, were we all so proud of OUR Natasha. I am still so proud of Natasha. I love this girl and everything about her! I am blessed to know her and was blessed to photograph her for this important step in her young life.

So, I have been tinkering around today with a new logo for Thrive. I’m just not sure….so, I thought I would see if I could get some feedback from my blog friends. When I visualize the word “Thrive”, in my mind’s eye I see a tree or plant that is flourishing, growing, abounding, thriving. When I started my business, I actually got this word from the Lord about both my home and my business. God isn’t interested in us just “surviving”, but “THRIVING”. Hence, came my studio name….Thrive Creative Studio. I am planning on taking my packaging up a notch in 2009 and decided to revisit my logo and see if I could turn it up a notch too. I would so appreciate your feedback. I have listed below the two new designs and #3 is my current design. What do ya’ think?

“Count your blessings. Name them one by one. Count your blessings. See what God has done. Count your blessings. Name them one by one. Count your many blessings. See what God has done.” The words of this spiritual were written in 1897, but rang in my ears this morning while I was composing these blog collages. These gorgeous families, babies, couples and graduates were my awesome clients in 2008. As I pulled each pictures into the collage, I remembered specific things about each shoot and I smiled and smiled at my computer screen. What a fun year it was and how blessed I am. Thank you to each and every Thrive client who allowed me to capture beautiful images that will last forever.

I had the distinct privilege of being hired to shoot images for Kele & Co.’s 2009 jewelry catalogue. This incredible company is in it’s 2nd year of business and has the awesome support of an entire family of gorgeous women. What a pleasure to photograph several generations of Kele & Co.’s family wearing the beautiful, handmade jewelery that you can find through a Kele & Co.catalogue or representative. I had such a blast with everyone and absolutely loved every piece of jewelry I saw.

Today was a day of real estate professionals at Thrive! Holly is a talented real estate agent with Keller Williams and looking for some updated photos. So photogenic and so wonderfully nice…thanks Holly.

Then a bit later, it was Gary Merritt of The Merritt Company, a commercial and investment real estate firm. I so enjoyed hearing Gary’s heart for ministry and what God is doing with him outside of his business. Thanks for sharing.
