Internet WOES.

Okay, folks. My website is currently "experiencing technical difficulties". I'm submitted a ticket, but for now, no website. Which also means, if you have an order through www.hookapirate.com, you can not access that order right now.

It shouldn't take www.mediacatch.com long to fix the problem. In the 3 years I've been hosting with them, we've really never been down. So, if you are reading this, meadicatch?

HURRY!

LUBBOCK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER: my youngest bride yet!

HA! Okay, so she's not getting married, but hello! Scroll down and check out that fluff! She's certainly as prissy as any bride I've photographed and BEST of all, those legs! ADORABLE! This is Natalie and I had the chance to play with her a bit today. She never quite warmed up to the idea of photographing in a strange place, on hurried time, and after a nap. NO WAY was she having any part of it. But gosh, you put the tu-tu on, she automatically points her toes and if we had more time, would have danced all over my studio! LOVE IT!

Your a DOLL, Natalie! And come see me again soon!

LUBBOCK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER - Congratulations, Poma!

Poma, I hope I'm spelling this right, was crowned Cooper's Homecoming Queen Friday night! Woo Hoo! I don't know her personally, but from what I hear from Cooper's General Population, she's quite a winner! Well liked by everyone and the best part? She was totally SURPRISED! I just wanted to share this series of photos of her with her family.

CONGRATULATIONS!

As always, more photos at www.hookapirate.com.

LUBBOCK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER: Guess who's number 1?

I scammed this off the Texas Coaches Association of Basketball. The picked Cooper Girl's BB as the NO. 1 TEAM in the state pre-season! WOO HOO! I like to think it's because my kid is on the team.

Yeah, you heard me. Kalyn made VARSITY!

We are still in a daze in this household, kind of scared to breathe a word. That maybe it's not real? She's worked so hard for this and loves the game so much. We all do! Nothing like GIRL's BB!

I knew she deserved it! I'm just so thrilled the Coach knew it, too.

GO BEDNARZ! And don't let up EVER!

All the way to state baby!!!!

LUBBOCK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER: Beautiful day!

LUBBOCK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER: CMS Volleyball

I'm blogging because I'm missing Summer's game tonight in Lamesa! Darn it! Kalyn had practice after school and I needed to stay in Lubbock, so here's some volleyball pictures from their game last week @ Frenship.

Needless to say, we lost.

LUBBOCK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER: Summer Zoe still has it!

CMS had their first pep rally of the year September 24th and my Summer Zoe is in her 2nd year of cheering. She's still GOT IT! I was hoping she would still bring those cool faces to her game and ROCK IT OUT like she did her first year of cheering. And most of all, I wanted it to be REAL. Like she really enjoyed it! It was great! They theme was Western and Heather Howell did a FAB job on the skit! So much fun to see the school get involved, completely down to these little tykes above. I think they agreed it was too loud, but hey! You gotta make some noise in life once in a while, right!

Way to go Summer Zoe!

Jordan, Lindsay and Taylor were the "cubs" for the skit part of the rally.

The students were enjoying and getting into the groove! Love all the energy in their faces!

Miss Sami doing her thang!

Keely Ehlers and the rest of the 7th grade cheerleaders had a GREAT pep rally DEBUT! So proud of them! It's scary the first time to get out there and "do your thang" in front of the ENTIRE student body! Great job girls!

Summer and Pirate Pete pumping it up for the camera!

I love this shot above and how the girls are just enjoying being cheerleaders!

Wonder who is sponge Bob?!?!?!

There's my girl!

Oh, yeah!

These last two were taken after the rally. Hanna Gentry was Sponge Bob and despite sweating her face off under that mask, she was FABULOUS! Way to go Hannah!

And one of my favorite Craigs, Miss Sydney in the last shot with Summer. Watch for this girl here in Pirate Country. She can play some mean b-ball!
