It's Monday...why did I pick Monday?

Ok, this will be quick...I am sure you are shocked!  ;)  It is nap time around here and I have 1.5 hours to do 5 hours worth of stuff (while my 2 year old cries from her crib..though that should stop in a couple minutes).

I hope everyone had a terrific weekend.  Mine was very good...busy but good!

Since this is my business blog... I wanted to mention that the PERFECT Florida spring weather is upon us.  It is a great time for portraits if you want something outdoors.  In the not too distant future it will be HOT and YUCKY...but right now it is just right!  (Like the third EVERYTHING in Goldilocks and the three bears!)

Also, on a business (and personal sort of) note, I am on facebook.  I have a personal page and a business page.  I would love to have you as a part of either of those...so send me a friend invite or become a "fan"!

Anyway, that is it for now.  One item down 3,254,584,558 to go!  I hope everyone has a SUPER DUPER AWESOME week!

It's a good day to be a duck...

I don't know what it is like where you are...but it is pouring out here in SE Leon county!

I hope everyone had a joyous Easter and was able to spend some time with family and friends.  I was blessed to spend the day with my sweet husband and my four beautiful children.  It was a rare thing that we could all be together for a whole day...it hasn't happened much lately. 

So stay dry and safe while this weather makes its way through our area.  That is what we are going to do!

Alas, farewell spring break... And First Communion info

I am not sure how exactly, but I survived Spring Break with the four kids and my sanity (mostly) in tact!  I will admit I was glad to get back to the routine this morning though!  We had a laid back week...tried to stay dry from all the rain...YUCK!

Anyway in a huge departure from all my posts recently...I am going to touch on something actually related to my business!  It is First Communion time again.  There are some examples in my galleries at www.candacepridgeon.com of First Communion portraits (for boys, just look for them to be dressed like little men...their outfits aren't so obvious as the girls).  I love doing these portraits for a couple reasons...

1. the kids (girls especially) are so excited about the clothes and they all are so adorable being all dressed up!
2. it is such an exciting and important time for them.  First Communion is an important and wonderful sacrament...I just think it is cool.  (I had my First Communion as an adult...and not long ago...it was really something!)

So, I am hoping to get to vicariously enjoy it through some of you this year.  I had my own children having their First Communion for the last two years...but know I have a few years off before Sam and Campbell get there...

Call me to set up a sitting...Spring can be pretty busy! 
And Happy Monday to everyone...enjoy to sun and the cool weather...it won't be around long (the cool weather, not the sun). :)
