Worst Nightmare!

Tuesday morning I woke up and turned on my computer as usual, but after about 10 minutes it was still on this blue screen and I couldn't get out of it. After about one and a half hours on the phone with the computer company they informed me of the worst news ever (when you're using your computer for business) "You're hard drive has crashed!" I think I cried for over a half and hour, not because I lost any important files because I back up all my photography pictures on an external server and make a hard copy on Cd of the unedited and edited pictures of all clients, but all my programs were lost, my e-mail address book, my client list, and the important "Tax" information. Who would have guessed that a 10 month old computer would do this? I even took it into a computer company and they couldn't find anything left on the hard drive. So, I'm back to the beginning. I am starting the slow and tedious process of re-installing all my software, but will have to re-buy some. I am unable to process any pictures until next Wed. so any clients that are waiting, I AM SO SORRY! If any of my previous clients could e-mail me their addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses it would be greatly appreciated. I have two e-mails that are currently working: www.kshanks@sio.midco.net or www.kristishanksphotography.com I'll post more pictures here once I can get photoshop re-installed and working. God Bless- Kristi

Happy 1st Birthday Austin!

What a fun photo session. It was an awesome idea to bring a small cake! Little Austin wasn't quite sure of it at first, but once he tasted the frosting he was hooked. We also got some amazing family pictures for you to use for Christmas cards and also to decorate with. Hope to see you again! God Bless- Kristi

Drew Sweeter- Senior 2010

I had such a good time taking these photographs of you. When your mom called to schedule your session I couldn't believe you were already a senior! There are tons of great shots, these are just a few of my favorites. I want to wish you the best of luck in baseball season this year and in your collage decisions ahead. Have a wonderful holiday season. God Bless- Kristi

4yr + 3 yr + 2yr + baby on the way = Way to busy MOMMY!

I had such a great time taking your maternity pictures. I'm glad we could squeeze them in before baby joins the world. Your boys are so full of life, they cracked me up constantly (especially Jacob with his silly faces!). I wanted to get these up earlier today, but got busy SORRY! I hope all goes well tomorrow and little baby Claire arrives in the world healthy. I'll stay a little pray around 7am tomorrow. Can't wait to see her, who know's maybe she'll have red hair like her mom. God Bless! Kristi

Smith Kids

It was such a pleasure to meet you and your kids. It was amazing how fast our hour went buy and even though Amanda was a little shy we did get some good pictures with her. Brandon on the other hand, was such a little poser and seemed to love the camera. I can't wait to meet with you so I can show you the rest of them!

My Family

I though I better get some updated pictures of the family for Chrismas Cards, so here they are! I want to thank "Papa" Lavern for taking the ones with me in them. He did great! I can't wait to have a free minute so I can design our Christmas Card!
God Bless- Kristi

Jeana & Jared- Senior Twins Outdoor Session

I'm glad we finally found a nice day to finish up your senior pictures! The lighting at the Japanese Gardens was beautiful! I'm looking forward to showing you both all the pictures. Let me know when a good time is to come "view" them!

Elshadai - 2010 Senior

Here some just some of the awesome picture we got during your session. I hope you find some you really love. I promise I won't make you smile any more, two hours of that is about enough for anyone! Let me know what you think of the pictures! God Bless- Kristi

Ruth Family

You have such a beautiful family. I can't believe that you were my oldest daughter's first babysitter and now you have two kids of your own already. Boy, time really does fly. I really enjoyed taking these pictures for you. Allison is such a little model and baby Brooklyn seems so easy going. I truly hope you love these pictures there were so many great ones it was hard to choose what to use. I'll see you soon! God Bless- Kristi

Wolthuizen Family

Wow! What a beautiful little baby Wyatt is and such good natured! I love his yawn on the last photo. You two are very blessed. I had a great time taking these keepsake photo's of little Wyatt. There were way to many good shots, but these were a few of my favorites. Can't wait to show you the rest. I'm glad I finally got to meet the little guy. God Bless- Kristi
