Out with the old in with the new! Just like winter ends and spring begins (oh how I LOVE the new weather!!) there is something old leaving and something new taking it’s place here too! More to come so stay tuned. I have something really fun to share!!

A post isn’t complete without an image or two or three! Enjoy my little peanuts in the great new weather!!

If you are a fire fox user you will not be able to access my website or blog without a little work around. If you are a MAC user I think you will have the same problem. If you use internet explorer you will be able to access all of my information for the time being. I am still waiting for google to unflag me (again this could take weeks). I am in the process of working on upgrading a few things to help with the hackers who like to attack my scripts.

My site DOES NOT have a virues. My blog DOES NOT have a virus. They have all been cleaned up! The only problem now is google. They need to clear me and since I am not the only person with a domain name in the world (I wish I was… lol) then this will take time. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. There are going to be some changes in the near future but these will take some time. I will keep you all aware of what is going on.

A post isn’t complete without an image!! This one makes me smile. Her attitude in this picture says everything is going to be okay. I have spent numerous hours on the back end of my business this week. I know so much more about security on the web than I ever thought I would want to know. I am so glad I know what I know now and I just can’t wait to share all the new stuff with you!!

My hubby, the indoor triathlete. I was going to post this sooner but I have been having issues with my site AGAIN. If you get a message that might site has been attacked. It has. It is not a virus, though. My PHP files (I know foreign to some of you) were hacked into and a bunch of mumbo jumbo was written into them. Google got wind of this and has flagged my site now until the files are clean. Well, the cleaning lady came today and cleaned them all up but google will take another 3-4 weeks to verify this happened (nice). With that said I will be up and down for a bit until this issue is resolved. I never thought being a photographer would help me learn so much about the technical world (it’s a good thing I have consulting in my back ground). If you use firefox (the safer way to go) you wil get this message of the attack b/c fire fox and google are a little team. If you use internet explorer you will not have a problem.

I will have to close shop for two days starting the 17th of March for some more work to be done. I will keep you all aware of what is happening. Until everything is back to normal here at JMI enoy these images of my handsome hubby doing what he does best! He got third too! Way to go, hun! Oh, the kiddos were there every step of the way.

Images shot with my new 5D Mark II. All straight from camera too.

I don’t post many of my designs but this one was too cute not to post. I had 5 sessions with this little guy and these were moms favorites of his first year. This is a 10×20 collage that comes with a grow with me plan. Enjoy!

A few days ago I mentioned posting, for those of you who have inquired about “my bag”, what was in the bag (or should I say bags). Here is a list of what I use. I will be purchasing a bigger bag soon to hold everything…. a think tank bag. I can’t wait to have one home for everything. I also want to say thank you to Rebecca a fellow photographer/friend here in KC for her help too! She has been an instrumental part in getting to where I am today so THANK YOU, friend!
