Tryin’ to stay afloat!

Oh how I wish I had just one more hour a day so I could post all these fun sessions I’ve been editing! This week alone I have sent out 9 sessions that I am dying for you all to see. There has been so much going on behind the scenes I don’t even know where to start! I really appreciate everyone’s patience as I try to keep everything moving even though I’ve had to switch to a brand new computer, send my camera in to get fixed and try to figure a new one out! There’s been a few days where I just wanted to take the towel and throw it in as hard as I could and then die. But I’m still truckin’ and trying to make it through this crazy month!
Oh yeah, be sure to check out Inspire Me Baby, they featured one of my sessions! So cool!

Just keep swimming! You can make it! I’m sorry that so many crazy things have happened. You are awesome.

Jessie Oberg - November 3, 2010 - 10:22 pm

That picture is stunning! Don’t give up. We’d all miss you TOO much!

Micah - November 3, 2010 - 10:52 pm

Skye I love you! I see you almost every day running your kids around and people at your house getting pictures done and I wonder how you keep up the energy to do it all! Plus I’ve never met a more happy upbeat person in my life. You are amazing and you’ll make it through this crazy month! you didn’t even mention your allergic reaction, that was insane! LOL!

Leanne-Lee Mabry - November 3, 2010 - 11:06 pm

What a stunning photo!

Sara - November 3, 2010 - 11:07 pm

Don’t you ever throw that towel in or I will throw it back to you. You are too good to ever say anything like that. I never want to hear it again!

skye's mom - November 4, 2010 - 8:27 am

I love you!

Katie Boman - November 4, 2010 - 1:15 pm

Ya what the heck are you talking about! You are going to love your new mac, I know it’s so hard to have to switch things up when it’s been running smoothly, but it will be so much better! Get that thing outta that box or I’m going to come over and do it for you! You’ve already wasted one day! C’mon!

Taylor - November 4, 2010 - 4:40 pm

Skye, I really hope that your camera was not broken in the hands of my little Awstyn! Really if she did it, we will repair it. I felt horrible seeing this post and realizing what happened at our session and hope that we weren’t the cause to the camera dilema.

Brandy - November 4, 2010 - 8:35 pm

Skye, I just downloaded our CD and the pictures are BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you SO much! I hope things start to look up and slow down so that you can enjoy the holidays:) You are the best!!

skye johansen - November 4, 2010 - 11:03 pm

Oh you guys, thank you! haha Taylor no it wasn’t Awstyn! It was me. Apparently I jammed my memory card in too hard and bent all the prongs over so they have to replace the inside and it’s a 3-4 week fix! So lame!

skye johansen - November 4, 2010 - 11:03 pm

Brandy I’m so glad you love them! Outdoor sessions make me so nervous so I’m relieved you’re not like…what the heck are these??? haha

Anne - November 5, 2010 - 3:11 pm

Your new songs make me cry. The end. Sat on your blog for hours last night while I proofed a wedding just listening away.

skye johansen - November 7, 2010 - 3:57 am

Awww thanks Anne! I just love music and always have something playing while I’m editing. Or cleaning or cooking dinner. Love it!

Noah & Isabella

When Ashley came for a photo shoot a few years ago, I had just barely heard about Matilda Jane Clothing and she brought some darling outfits for her daughter to wear and I fell in love! Also, last October Ashley sent me an email telling me about the MJ photo love contest, so I probably wouldn’t have known about it if she hadn’t told me! We’ve both decided that we have a childrens clothing buying disease, but we aren’t interested in finding a cure….:)
This is going to be an extra long post because Noah and Bella were angels for their photo shoot. Good thing because Ashley brought so many cute things for them to wear! Isn’t Bella’s hair amazing?? She’s only THREE.

I LOVE Bella and I LOVE her hair! I need to bottle that stuff! That is my dream hair! It looks like spun gold! Wow! I can’t believe God just let her grow that magical stuff! Lucky duck! What a beautiful woman she is going to be- I am SO JEALOUS! Now send me a lock and I will find a colorist and match it. HA! I am SO SMITTEN with those really red shots with the pumpkin flower clip!

And we love Noah and Isabella’s Mom for introducing ALL of us to MJ!!!!!!! Thanks Mom!!!!!!!! :)

Katelyn Anderson - October 30, 2010 - 10:34 am

I’ve loved MJ since I fell in love with your blog and Katie’s. I want all boys but I after seeing this beautiful little girly and her amazing outfits I may have to have just one girl so I can buy her all the MJ in the world!!! LOVE IT

Ashley S. - October 30, 2010 - 11:46 am

Oh Skye, these are beautiful! There really aren’t words for how much I love them. You’ve captured both of their beautiful little personalities perfectly and I can’t wait to see the other 100 shots :) . I am going to have such a hard time choosing which ones I would like to get canvases of. Thank you!!

Mary C. - October 30, 2010 - 2:10 pm

Skye,

You have photographed my grandchildren twice now and the results are beautiful. I am also going to have a hard time choosing. To Emily, getting Isabella’s hair color from a bottle would be hard.

jennifer - October 30, 2010 - 9:19 pm

That is some PRETTY amazing hair!!

Allison - October 30, 2010 - 11:33 pm

I wish I had some girls to buy MJ clothing for. Sad. I never know what to say on your blog….. your pictures are always freakin’ amazing….. so ….. ya- there you go…. you are pretty much the best.

katie moss - October 31, 2010 - 1:26 am

Seriously? Why don’t my kids have hair like that?

Gray Benko - October 31, 2010 - 11:52 am

These are all beautiful! First and last are my fav’s!

Summer - February 11, 2011 - 3:51 pm

That is the BIGGEST flower headband I have ever seen!!! Too cute :)

Bostyn & Cruz

Bostyn and Cruz were both so dang cute! I still can’t believe Bostyn is only 2 1/2, she talks and acts like she is 5! Little Cruz didn’t smile much but he didn’t have to, he is just such an adorable baby boy. Loved this session!

LUV LUV IT! So cute…And yes, where did Bostyn get her adorable dress and matching ruffle pants???

Brittany Stover - October 28, 2010 - 8:55 pm

I can’t handle it….these kids are too cute. Great work too. I need those paper flowers….did you make them?

skye johansen - October 28, 2010 - 10:30 pm

Amber I know! Especially for 2 1/2! Thanks you so much for your comments everyone! Bostyn’s dress is from Persnickety Clothing, I think you can purchase clothing from their website, just google it and it will come up! Brittany the paper flowers were made by Kaylee, the amazing designer of LaRose Designs and Little Miss Royal Tees! She just whipped them up for me, wish I could do that. She makes anything look amazing.

kbreints - October 29, 2010 - 5:08 pm

Beautiful! Those clothes are killer too! Such sweet pictures!

Crystal - October 30, 2010 - 7:59 pm

Love the rosettes in the backdrop, where did you find them if you don’t mind sharing?

Gray Benko - October 31, 2010 - 11:56 am

These kids…are you kidding me!? Gorgeous. I LOVE all of them, I seriously cant even pick a favorite. Wait, yes I can. The third one down…best.photo.ever. SO stinking cute! And is she really only two!? My poor bald daughter. I am having major hair envy right now!

Rory Drysdale - November 1, 2010 - 11:41 pm

BEAUTIFUL! Skye, you are one talented lady ;) Do you or this little sweeties mama know where I can buy the first picture flower/feather headband? Seriously cute pics!
