Here it is Monday of a new week and it seems like we just started last week. Today we went out to Ash Grove to do the Basketball Team Pictures.

There is a quick composite that you can look at. If you were one of the kids that didn’t bring your order form please follow this LINK

The kids were a lot of fun and I think their pictures turned out great. The composite photos is being worked on by my brother and should be done fairly quickly.

We also did some one year old pictures today and they turned out so cute. I will post them tomorrow so you can take a look at it. Did I mention they are cute?

Thats it for tonight. I’m going to get some sleep and try to get up early tomorrow.

Never enough time. That’s what I’m always telling myself. There is never enough time in the day to get what you need to do done, and to do what you want to do. I don’t know if that makes any sense but it is 1:57am and it seems like it did at the time.

Ok, I have the Ash Grove Basket Ball Homecoming Pictures online. Here is the link: CLICK THIS

Please remember that all images found on this site are protected by U.S. and International Copyright Laws. Basically it means that you shouldn’t download them, copy them, claim they are yours, and especially not print them without specific written consent by me. Now I know I can’t stop anyone from doing it. It is like someone who is going to break into your car or your house. If they want in, they will get in. So if you would like to have a copy of the photos here is what I’ll do. For a 600×800 size copy of any of the school picture series that I take. For $7.99 (add tax and shipping…or if you pick them up no shipping) I will provide you with a CD of all the images with a limited copyright ownership that you may display them on your computer ( i.e. Wallpaper or Screen Saver) and have the permission to email them to friends and family. I think that is a more then fair price for that. If you want a hard copy of some or all of them just follow the contact link on the right hand side of the page.

If you missed it, the link to the Ash Grove Basket Ball Homecoming is HERE!

In other news. I am out on the town tomorrow for a current project with my graphic designing brother. Have you visited his site yet? He is working with the company Armorthane in developing some new brochures for them. Well they need some photos as well and that is where I come in. So we are heading out tomorrow to look for trucks and anything that can be coated with this stuff, which I found out is a lot! So if you have any ideas on where to go, just give me a call.

We delivered the Tigerettes pictures today to the High School. I’ve included a couple samples of the designs that were being used for the pictures. On our order form it is difficult to see even what an example looks like, so I thought I would put them up here so everyone could see that they really do look nice.

We are shooting the Ash Grove High School Basket Ball Team pictures on Monday and they can be rest assured that a new design will be done for them as well. If you have seen the composite design for the Football pictures then you know how great it looked. This is all due to my brother taking the time to create the layouts and design work.

Here is the example of the individual picture.

I hope Suni doesn’t mind getting her face plastered on my web site for a little while. If she does I know she will tell me about it.

One more thing I forgot to mention. I came home the other day to find my wife washing dishes. Nothing unusual about that, but she did have some white headphones going from her ears down into her pocket. I think she likes her iPod more and more. We put some of her favorite music on there but I think she likes the photos of the kids.

Speaking of kids, we have a housefull tonight. Besides our two we have two other neices that are staying the night. They’ve been a lot of fun and they play really well together. We took them out to Pizza Hut earlier for dinner and then went and got a movie at Movie Mania. After we got home I had to run back to work for a bit to get the Homecoming photos ready, and when I got back they had just finished making some sugar cookies. We got some photos of them playing together and brushing their teeth, I think my wife is going to make a scrapbook page of it. Then I cut our little boys hair tonight and he cut mine. (yes, I know I don’t have a lot, but I have enough to cut) He did really good for me and he sat still enough where I didn’t have to shave it all off.

I know it isn���t Friday yet, but the week deserves its own review. It seems like time doesn���t stand still long enough for you to do anything about it, even if you had plans for that alloted amount of time.

We are missing a few links on are page as a few of you have let us know about (Thanks Holly) So we are working on getting them up and running. The portfolio link will be active sometime next week ::crosses fingers:: and the contact link should be up as you are reading this.

I have some photos here of The Harralson Family.

The Harralson���s are a local family that had me shoot their family pictures. I think that you can see by the photos that they like the Chiefs.

Our spring cleaning has started a little early. We are going to add some shelves into the studio so we can clear out some space so we can set up another backdrop. You should stop by in a few weeks and see if I���ve got it finished.

We heard about the Willard / Republic game. I don���t think I���ll say anything about it, other then we love our Tigers.

So, yes I know, it isn’t Friday night anymore. Technically it is Saturday morning at 3:10. I don’t even know if you want to ask why I am up so late/early. It boils down to pictures. Pictures are to blame for me not getting a good nights sleep. Now don’t get me wrong, that is a good reason to miss some sleep. If it isn’t a good movie that keeps me up then it is pictures.

We’ve been working with a new lab this last week and are trying to get our service up and running with them. They’ve been super polite and easy to work with but it takes some time to transition everything over. I think we will have to play it safe for a while and continue to use our old lab as well. We are really just getting our feet wet and looking to see what kind of quality and customer service we get out of this lab. The turn-around times won’t be so quick, but if the quality is what they say it is, then it will be worth it.

The wife and I took the kids to the Ash-Grove High School basketball game vs. Marionville tonight. I was scheduled to be there in order to get pictures of the crowning of the Homecoming Queen during halftime of the JV game. So it was a fun outing all in all. At these type of events our kids last about a good 15-30 minutes until they are wanting to do something else. Luckily that had a chile fundraiser going on and they got some chile and cookies to tide them over for a while. We still ended up leaving at halftime and didn’t get to see the final score, or who one. (If you are reading this and know the score, please post it in a comment.)

That’s another thing I wanted to let you know. I am looking for any comments that you have. Wether good…(preferable) or bad (keep them to yourself) I would enjoy hearing from those of you that actually read this thing. It will give me an idea of how I can tailor it better to make it more enjoyable for you.

I’m going to include a collage I did of the HomeComing Queen/Candidates. Please note that all images found on this site are copy right protected and belong to Jones Photography. They are not to be copied, sold, shared, edited, deleted, moved, stored, printed or linked. This helps me protect my work that I’ve created. If you do see something you like, just give me a call or an email and we can hook you up to see all the pictures of an event, or prints if you are needing some for a photo album.

So here is the collage.

Al the girls looked absolutely beautiful last night, and a big Congratulations to Courtney!!!iPod Update:

Since Valentines day I have seen my wife use the iPod several times. Either I’ll come home and she’ll be looking at pictures or like in the case today, her and my daughter were jamming to tunes on it. So I think it is definately leaning toward a “likeable” gift. Again, I’ll keep you updated if it gets better or worse.

How was your Valentine’s Day? Did you get everything that you had hoped for? Did you get her/him everything they had hoped for? I know we had a lot of fun tonight and the kids really enjoyed themselves as well. We had some clients come in last week wanting to make a slideshow DVD of some old pictures they had, so they could give it to their wife as a Valentine’s Day gift. After we made the slideshow we put together a DVD case as well.

I will find out in a couple of days how they liked the DVD and see if they say anthing about the case. Since they had come into our studio last year and had their family and some senior pictures done, I was able to include them in the slideshow as well as on the cover.

Well Valentine’s is pretty much over in our house. We got the kids a couple of small gifts, a Strawberry Shortcake doll for our little girl, and some building blocks for our little boy. Then I had my wife open her present. (more…)
