i love you class of 2009

I know this is a week late, but we've been camping for a week so I've taken a break from the editing and picture taking and been focusing on the business side.  Because of that, I've had to put off posting this blog.  
There are some people who come into your life who will always be those special people no matter the distance between, the years that pass or the new people who may take priority.  The class of 2009 are just these special people to me.  I want you guys to know that I love you more than life itself.  Each of you have changed my life in so many ways, so many different times.  I consider each of you my own.  It's really bitter sweet for me because I know that it's time to let you go and allow you to become your own person that God has designed for you to be.  I know that I have to trust in His plan and take a back seat as a spectator.  But I want to hold on to each of you and keep you to myself.  I want to shelter you and keep away the hurts and upsets that are coming your way but I know that's not the plan.  
I've been praying that God would give me direction in what to say to you.  And I keep getting one thing - Go for it.  Don't sit on the sidelines and live with regret.  Take advantage of every opportunity.  Dance to every beat that is made.  Sing to every song that's been sung.  Don't live a life of fear and what if.  Live.  Stand up for what you believe in.  One person can make a difference and that one person is each of you.  
I am honored to know you and call each of you friend.  Each of you make Campbell County a better place to live.  I love you guys so much.  Always remember that you have a place in my heart forever.  I love you.
Bethany







I'm already crying and this picture didn't help AT ALL! It's coming soon enough.









You guys rock.  You are my rock. I love you.

randomness at the Fritts home

My wonderful husband who is the best husband in the world got me another NICE camera and lens for mother's day.  I've wanted to brag on him for a while but I've been so busy using it, I haven't had time.  I actually took the week off to camp so now is the perfect time.  Here's some random shots that you may see any time of the day at our house.  
-p.s. thank you Rob for my mommy's day gift.  I love you more than life ;)


Mac getting the plow ready.  Yes, it was mid day and he was still in pajama pants.  We're all about comfort!

think pink - celebrating life

I stumbled across this great organization on the internet and became smitten with the cause.  I immediately requested information and signed up to be a part of it.  Here's what it's about.  Spread the word.
think pink photography

Through our photography network (which sophiemac is a part of), we are helping breast cancer survivors and their supporters celeberate life with photography sessions.  Any individual who has been diagnoesd with breast cancer or completed treatment within the past 12 months qualifies for a think pink session.  Sessions are available to document the fight before or during treatment or to celebrate the victory when treatment is complete.  
Clients will receive a complimentary session,  4x6 proofs of the session, and 25% off additional print orders.  If you or anyone you know has been affected by breast cancer and would like to document their struggles and victories, please contact me at bethanyandrob@comcast.net or 423.494.9065.  I will include a free proof disk to the first person who books a think pink session.

{baby "R" outside session}

I'm in love.  Sorry Robert, but he stole my heart!  I wasn't looking for it, but it just happened. He's just so cuddly and cute! How could I resist!  
Here's a few shots from the outside session from last week.  I may have a few new favorites.


I LOVE this one. It just looks so tranquil and serene.  





love, Love, LOVE this one.

{update on my daddy}

Daddy starts his radiation friday.  Please pray for him because I know that he is afraid of the unknown.  He was supposed to start last week, but he had to have another place cut off of his face.  It wasn't merkel cell, but it was cancerous.  He's doing ok with that but please remember him friday.  
I know I've been saying this quite a bit here lately, but I really mean it.  Thank you to everyone who keeps up with my blog and keeps us in your prayers.  I really do love you more than you ever know!

welcome to the world baby R

Can I get a big "AAAAAAWWWWWW"? All I can say is it's not a good idea for me to be shooting infant shots because it gives me baby fever.  Isn't he the most precious thing you've ever seen?  I had such a good time shooting these pictures.  Thank you mom and dad for letting me come into your house and sneak a few shots of your brand new world.  I can't wait to shoot outside tomorrow!

...your vote counts...

I've received so much feedback over the prom pictures with everyone telling me which was their favorite that I thought I would hold a little contest.  Here's how it works: The couple with the most votes wins a proof disk which is good for printing images and a low resolution proof disk that's fast for uploading images onto myspace, facebook and digital picture frames.  Here's where you come in.  Your vote counts so vote for your favorite and give them some love!   Feel free to vote more than once and leave a comment because I am drawing a commenters name out for a free session and 3 free sheets of 4x6's.  Good luck and may the sassiest couple win!

my new button

Here's a new good thing that I stumbled across.  www.shabbyblogs.com.  I am convinced that Megan is the nicest gal I've come across in a LONG time.  I wondered to her site a few days ago and fell in love with her designs.  I wanted them all! And the good new is, I can get them all because everything they load is free! That's right, free!  And if that wasn't generous enough, I asked her to make me a button and asked her to email me the price.  She quickly emailed me back and made it for free as well!  
As a thank you, I wanted to post her blog and also ask everyone to go check out her site.  She gets paid when bloggers click on advertisements on her site.  This allows her to give such awesome work out for free.  So, please go visit shabbyblogs.com and check out the ads as well.  
Good things and good people deserve recognition.  So here you go Megan.  Thanks again for your generosity.  It's really hard to find such kind people these days.  

new product - blog headers

Here's a new product sophiemac photography is offering : blog headers.  They are fully customizable with any pictures or prints.  Prices are $30.00 but for the month of May they will be $20.00. Let me know what you think.  I'm going to play around with it and see if I can put some vintage frames on some of the pictures.  I'll post some more updates.  Give me a shout if you are interested.
