169.00 and my computer is back in action

What would I rather do with my 169.00? A new camera bag, new clothes, lots of kickboxing classes, a new rug for my office... or donate it to a good cause. Instead, I paid for it to battle a computer virus. The good news is, my computer peeps let me know that they were able to fix and reload all my info.

My computer is back, not up and running but at least sitting comfortably in my office.
That means, wedding editing and portrait sessions are on the menu for tomorrow and Wednesday! So much work to do!

Hope everyone is having a great Monday !

california kids :)

This was the first time I had the pleasure of meeting "A" and her little brother, "G". Their mom , Martha have known each other for years ( maybe a more than a decade, but saying that makes me feel old. ) . Martha and her husband live in LA, but while the kids were still in my neck of the woods, I wanted to meet and photograph them.

We had a great time, played dress up, climbed on chairs, played the piano, harassed the dog a bit, enjoyed the deep snow . Since my main computer is battling a virus, I don't have access to photoshop so this aren't touched up at all.. but their cute faces still speak volumes.
Enjoy...

so you know

There is no Anti-virus software called Anti-virus 2008. My new computer has now met its match in some trojan horse virus.. my files are all backed up .. but my heart has been doing double time!!!!!!!!!!!!

wonderful winter wedding

Here's a sneak peak of the Pollock's wonderful winter wedding at Barton Hills. There were so many wonderful touches, a merging of two great families, great flowers from Maureen's Designs in Saline, a sweet new twist on a guest book- sentiments of love written on sea shells.
( Try saying that three times fast ! )




The bride and her best friend.


The bride and her daughter .


The cake smelled as divine as it looked!

for you prayin types.. and those who 'd consider it

This is Matt Uday. Matt's wife , Megan and I have been good friends since college . The little one screaming is Ethan, the newest member of the Uday family. Matt is battling cancer and doing so with immense strength and faith . I am a big believer in prayer and what I can do to cure, to heal , to inspire and I'd just ask my friends, clients, and whomever else sneaks a peek at this blog to offer up a prayer for the Uday family. Thanks so much!

Almost back from vacation....

Looking for me?? I am shooting the wedding of this great couple today, and I will be back to my regular work hours on Tuesday. I have been on a vacation enjoying the company of my family for the holidays, and tried seriously to take the time off.. but admittedly snuck in a few emails and calls, but not all of them. Thank you for your interest in Kat Foley Photo, I will happily get back to you starting Tuesday morning!
