Running out of holiday sessions…

Administrator — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 06:31:57 +0000

Hey there photo friends… I am amazed at how many sessions I have booked and how many are booking for next year already! I know I posted in August that you would need to book your holiday sessions early and so many of you did, but there are always those that wait until the last minute… you know who you are; Don’t worry, I am trying to get you all in, but guess what… I am running out of room! So if I have emailed you a date, you need to email me soon because I am taking the first come first serve right now. There are just too many emails coming in for family sessions so hurry and get back to me!
If you can’t get in with me I do have a photographer that I can refer you to.
I think next year I’ll start booking holiday sessions earlier in the year!
.
Here’s one of the families I’ve already done for the holidays… I can’t wait to blog this session, but here’s a teaser for you!

A friend in need- Update…

Administrator — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 03:38:40 +0000

Hi everyone,
Well I got word today that Keith has been put on dialysis and is back in ICU. His Doctors have taken away the hope that they gave the family and as of now they are just keeping him comfortable. Some have said it is just a matter of days. I know many of us are trusting that God will give us the miracle that we’ve been asking for, but again we’ve got to trust that He know’s’ what is best.
I’ve finally gotten the link to donate to the Abolnik family online
giveforward.com click here to go straight to the page.
I don’t know how much time we have left with Keith here with us, but I know that right now they need our love, prayers, and support more than anything. If you can give anything at all, please do. I know how much it would mean to Rosanne, Keith and their daughters during this time.

Thank you so much,
Tishia

A friend in Need

Administrator — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 05:17:35 +0000

Hi there friends,
I have a special need that I wanted to ask some help for. Some of you know our friend Rosanne Abolnik and her husband Keith, and some of you just know Rosanne from the parent and tot classes in Apple Valley and Victorville Recreation centers, while others of you don’t know them at all. Well we met a couple years ago and have grown close to the family. Both of them are wonderful teachers here in the High Desert.
This year Rosanne’s husband Keith has learned that he has cancer. He has been in the hospital now for a couple weeks off and on and the status of his health has gone from bad to good and then good to bad. Every day things are changing. There is an group on facebook Keith Abolnik…standing with Keith, Rosanne and His Family that is giving his updated status as often as possible. Well this group is trying to raise money to help out the family. With both Keith out of work and Rosanne taking off time to be by his side in the hospital money is getting tight.
I know that everyone is struggling right now. I know that the economy stinks and that some of us are out of jobs. But this family is facing the chance of loosing their Husband, Father, Brother and Brother in Christ. I am asking tonight that if you could donate 1, 5, 10, 100 dollars- whatever you can find in your heart to help them through this terrible time. If you could donate what ever money you can to help them with hospital costs, traveling costs, and keeping their bills under control, please do. They are amazing people. They give to others like no other. Right now their hearts are heavy, but they are holding their heads high and trusting in God’s plan for them. I believe that we as friend in the community and/or friends in their lives can help them to make this time even a little easier. Anything can help right now. No amount is too small. Thank you.
If you would like to send a check or money order please make it out to Rosanne Abolnik. You can either give it to me and I will deliver it to her daily in the High Desert or email Susan Olson, who is the liaison for them at golson4007@dslextreme.com and she will send you her address. She is down the hill close to the hospital and see’s them almost daily. Feel free to email, text or call me and I can pick up your high desert donations. my email is pictureit02@yahoo.com, and cell to text or call is 760-964-9379.
I just wanted to say thank you in advance to those of you that can help financially and those of you that are praying for them. I believe in the power of prayer and I believe that Keith can be healed.
Keith and Rosanne, we love you. I admire your strength and love for the Lord during this time in your life. I know that God has a plan for you both and your beautiful children. We are here for you when you need us and we are praying for you every day.

Crash, burn and waiting…

Administrator — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 07:22:03 +0000

What a crazy couple of weeks we had. Last friday the 16th my computer crashed. The hard drive just died. Its only a year old computer so it was not expected at all. As a result I lost photoshop and all of my actions. So I took it down to Apple and dropped it off when they told me it would be 7-10 days to get it back. (Tears)
Following that I photographed a beautiful wedding in Oak Hills. I can’t wait to share the images with you, (Once I get photoshop back)
Then our 5 year old, Miss Bethany, had her tonsil’s removed on the 23rd. Ouch was that painful to everyone. Jake and I didn’t sleep for a couple days and B was in such pain it was heart breaking.
As if being sleep deprived and stressed wasn’t enough Sunday we woke up to our dogs being killed by a bobcat or mountain lion. They were killed in our backyard 15ft from their doggy door. So we have been devastated and exhausted. We have been blessed to have amazing friends and family be so supportive to us. Thank you to everyone.
Now this week I am photographing Mrs. Rosanne’s classes for the Apple Valley and Victorville Recreation Centers. And in the meantime I am waiting for Photoshop to arrive. I ordered it and paid expedited shipping to get it here as soon as possible, but again I am still waiting.
So shortly I will have photoshop up and running again, and I will do my best to get everyone’s galleries up and running as soon as I can. I will keep you posted here and on facebook as soon as I have news to share.
Thank you for all of your kindness and understanding.

Family reunion… San Bernardino Children Photographer

Administrator — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 16:13:28 +0000

This family called me a few months ago to set up some pictures while all the cousins were together for their summer break. I had no idea how much personality I was dealing with until I met these spunky kids. We had so much fun. At first we took some head shots and then I asked them to horse around and thats when I got to know their real personalities. I love when kids are not afraid of the camera or afraid to share their personalities with me and thats just what I got. Here’s a peak of the gorgeous kids head shots.
Thanks for visiting me from Chicago!

Hi Moms and Dads,
I have been getting phone calls from some of you requesting prices and info. Please call or email me with any questions. I have made the price sheet so I can email it to you if you want it and I have been updated on which class will have the class photo and which will not. If your class is not having a class photo then your 5×7 class photo in the package will be replaced with a 5×7 of your student.

Thanks so much, cant wait to see all of your beautiful children on Tuesday!

My loves…

Administrator — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:33:55 +0000

There are many things I love in life, morning kisses from Bethany, the smell of Jake’s pillow, vanilla bean ice cream and peanut butter, the way my dog Lulu smells like Fritos, I can really go on and on. But my priorities in life start with God, then Jake and Bethany, and next on the list are my nieces and nephews. I love the sound of laughter in my house. Little kids giggling just makes my heart smile. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for each and every niece and nephew. They are all so different in their own ways and it has been so much fun watching each of them grow up. I have 4 nephews here in the High Desert and then 2 nephews and 1 niece in Arizona. I get to see the boys grow up weekly here but the ones in Arizona I look forward to my long weekend in the summer they get to come hang out without their parents. This last weekend they came out and we took the time to get dolled up and do a Glam it Up session with Miss Scarlet. She has grown up to be such a beautiful young lady…

Oh and I just loved this one… It reminds me of my friend and photographer Marco Vargas’ work. I titled it “What up Dog”

Thanks for coming out to visit Scarlet and Matt. I love you guys! xoxo Next summer we’ll make some new memories
Love
Aunt Tishia

Surprise Mom! Happy Birthday!- San Bernardino Children Photographer

Administrator — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:08:50 +0000

Dad brought these two beautiful little girls to me to do a shoot for their mom for her birthday. The only catch… mom cant know about it until her birthday. (Which was a month away) I can’t imagine how hard that would be to do for two little girls, but lucky for them, Dad and Mom’s best friend told her early. I guess it was harder than they thought. Happy Birthday Christina! I hope you have a wonderful birthday and I hope you enjoyed your early birthday surprise.

Enjoy,
Tish
