Pictures form Hurricane Ike

Hurricane Ike leaves a path of destruction for those in South Texas.  For those of you keeping up with the latest news around here... gas prices are on the rise again and we are seeing gas stations run out of gas on a regular basis. With no electricity in many parts of the surrounding area and Houston, people are traveling to College Station to buy supplies and much needed gas. Isn't it alarming how much we do relies on the need for electricity. You can't pump gas without it, you can't get money without it, you can't buy groceries without it, so what are people to do? I think the most helpful thing we can do is to keep our cool, help out where we can, volunteer in your local church as we do, bring food or gas to a loved one who lives in the affected areas and remember that we are not alone in a crisis. Here a K Norwood Portraiture we are trying to do our part by also conserving gas when we can and staying in touch with loved ones to be there at a moment's notice. If we can help out in anyway, please let us know.

Hurricane Ike Come and Gone

Hurricane Ike

Well for all you people out there following the track of Hurricane Ike, it looks like the Brazos Valley is going to get it's fair share of wind and rain. So we are going to batten down the hatches and hang on to our hats and ride the storm out here in College Station. However, we are going to do our best to shoot a wedding on Saturday if we don't get any tornado warnings or such. Nancy and Chad still are planning to get married at 3pm at St. Joseph's Catholic Church so we will be there to document their special occasion. Rehearsal went well tonight and everyone seems to know their part to play.

The festivities will begin on Saturday morning with the bridesmaids getting ready at our house-of course this is about the same time that the storm should be hitting our area. I think it's only fair to say we will be having a bonafide "hurricane party" from that moment on. (If you think about it, this will probably make for a great story for Chad and Nancy to tell their children one day) Then we will make our way over to the church and hopefully no one will get blown away. Then it's business as usual...The reception will be at the Kurten Community Center and Nancy promises that we will all have a wonderful time. Rob and I have really enjoyed getting to know them better and they are such a cute couple.

Well, it's about time for me to call this quits tonight. I will post a few images from their engagement session and then pray for better weather. (Isn't hurricane season a blast!)

Enough for now,

Kathy

September brings Football Season

Can you believe it is already September 6th and school is underway and the Aggies have played their 2nd football game of the season.  I feel like the summer flew by so fast and now it's time to start thinking about fall clothes, sweaters and sitting outside next to the fire. It's been a really hto summer and I'm looking forward to some cool evenings around here.

Things have been moving forward with the new site. I think we fixed the problem with the ordering system and now are set up with PayPal and the ability to order using credit cards.  We've tried to streamline the new site in order to help out our wonderful clients.

Today we were out at Research Park taking pictures of a lovely young girl named Rosie. Rosie will be 15 in October and needed to have Quinceanera portraits done in time for her party.  We had a wonderful time and will be adding a few of her portraits to the blog in the next day or two.

On Saturday we will be at St. Joseph's Catholic Church for the wedding of Nancy Davis and Chad Carter.  They are such a cute couple and have been so much fun to work with.  This job has so many benefits...besides getting to do what I love to do, I get to meet really neat people.  Look for images of their wedding in the next week.

Well enough for now,

Kathy
