I have been back at work 1/2 day for some of this week and as of yesterday I just didn't feel up to it. So, I left plans for a sub today...good thing, because we had an exciting surprise waiting for us. A company saw Paige's picture on a photographer's blog and the photographer contacted us and said that the company (Lifeway Christian Resources) was needing models for a national campaign to possibly get churches interested in their company. Paige was in a video for them when she was five. It was a video on how to run an effective VBS. She was thrilled to do this, so we thought, what the hay. : )
I knew that the location was quite urban looking (however, we were in a SMALL town square in the country of middle TN. : ) and I just HAD to take some shots of her prior to the real photoshoot. I have to say, I am a little giddy about how these turned out. I used some new techniques that I have been tinkering with in photoshop while I was laid up in bed. I was dying to try them out. I must say, by the time we got home tonight, I was POOPED!!! I am going to send this through and then hit the sack. I have many more on my flickr acct., so if you feel so inclined you can click on any of these pics and head on over.
I hope that you all have a fantastic weekend!!! I promise to visit you all and see what you have been up to this weekend!

Wow, Missy, on both counts!! 1) That Paige gets to do this modeling gig for Lifeway and 2) That these photos are simply amazing!! Of course, you have a stunning model, but the angles are great(you know I love angles), the way the color pops right off the screen, the depth of the colors and contrast... it is beautiful. And you SHOULD be giddy!!

These are terrific pictures. Beautiful model and photography. Hope you are feeling better soon...don't overdo it.
Oh so fun.. LOVE the last one!!!! Hope you get some rest:)
Paige is fast becoming one of the Tongginator's favorite "big girls." She loves seeing photos of her. And I think Paige might just be behind HanBlue, the Tongginator's favoritest "big girl" in the whole world. Her former number two might feel a tad disappointed when she finds out.
Oh my goodness!!! These shots are spectacular!!! You surely know what you are doing :)
