Unknowingly Blessed & My Bucket List...

I have come to realize lately I have a whole lot of unknowns in my life. These unknowns scare the b-jeezies out of me sometimes, but mostly they make me humble & stronger & down right thankful for what I have. This summer has been the scariest, busiest, and weirdest summers I have experienced in a long time. Lots of loved ones left my family or families around me to be with their Heavenly father. Lots of yuckiness also made its way into my family & families around me, yet I have had this peace of knowing that somehow, someway, with God's favor everything is going to be alright. I know this peace is a big result of all the love, happiness, encouragement, help and prayers that have been sent towards and upwards for us all, which all the thank yous within me wouldn't even begin to express my gratitude. Man I'm such a firm believer in the power of the human spirit, but not until this summer have I truly seen THE power of the human spirit. My world for the first time in a long time has been completely turned upside down. My pride has been popped, my heart has been punched, and my faith has been tested like something you see in the movies. Yet, I can't complain because I know it could be so much worse. I guess this is part of that POST GRAD stuff people talk about. The stuff where just when you think you have it all figured out, you get slapped in the face with no job, no money, and packing your bags to head back home until you figure it all out. Yup, that's what happened to this here lady. Let me tell you, job hunting is not as fun as they make it look like in the movies, but it's real & it's all about finding yourself right? Finding out who you are, where you belong, what you have to offer this world. AND by golly counting the blessings right in front of you. I may have grown bigger than my small hometown, or think I have, but man am I thankful for it & the family & friends that it has that have their arms wide open welcoming & encouraging me and never losing faith in me! I have been humbled, to say the least, in these last few months. I feel like I'm starting from scratch, back to square one, I hate and love it all at the same time. For the first time in a long time, I have no clue where I am headed....if you would have asked me a month ago I probably would have had a panic attack talking about it, but today I'm humbled, happy, thankful, and excited to see where I'll be this time next year.

Lately, as I've stepped back and re-evaluated my life I have had this huge burning desire to start a BUCKET LIST. Anyone have one of these started? Things you write down that you want to do before you turn a certain age or before you leave this earth and cross off as you do them. If you have one & don't mind sharing I WOULD LOVE to HEAR your list, mine is a work in progress, just like my life haha! HOWEVER...So far, I have travel the world....what parts of the world? UNKNOWN. Also I have CHANGE MY LIFE....what part of my life? UNKNOWN. Like I said, lots of unknowns in my life, but good ones.

My life may not be perfect, but who's is? It's tough, rough, and one heck of a ride, but with some good people alongside you it's so worth it isn't it?

Now, I promised I would share my new pup Jimi Hendrix with my blog friends! OH JIMI... he is a mess & definitely one of those unknowns in my life, but an unknown that keeps us all on our toes, entertained, & lets face it homeboy is just dadgum CUTE! HAHA!

....don't let that cuteness fool you into giving him table scraps or a nap on the bed though PLEASE! lol ain't puppy training fun? all tips & suggestions are also welcomed ;)

This is Jimi helping me pack up the apartment?

Here Jimi is showing his rocker side & practicing his KISS tongue...lol

May you all have great food, family, furry & people friends to get you through the good, bad, & the ugly! Life is so much better with people to laugh at it with! :)
XOXO,

Music & puppies make my heart smile...

Music makes any day better. Like today I finally spiced up the Anozira Photography myspace a wee bit & updated our music. Yes, we still had Xmas music blasting everytime someone visited our site! You should totally go check out our jams.......it's a Valentine's LOVE theme. Oh, and i'm so excited to say that a fellow Snyderite is totally on our music list! I love when people from my hometown follow their dreams & become famous! Miss Devyn is well on her way. You should go check her out to. Her voice is insanely beautiful....I can't wait to purchase her CD!

Canine American's make this world such a better place! And, i'm stupidly excited to say or at least I hope i'm allowed to say, you never know with the male species, :) my main squeeze & I are officially dog shopping! Doesn't mean we will add a Canine American to our lives like tomorrow, but i'm just excited we are looking! I am a dog lover 100%! So, if you have any suggestions as to where to begin looking send them my way! Petfinder.com has been suggested many times so i've began looking there! We will take our time because after all, Canine Americans are a huge responsiblity I know, but they are such a fun & loving resposibility to have! Wish me luck!

I will now leave you with a sweet picture of my families dog Simba!

Hugs & Pups,

Laura

A Few Of Laura's Favorite Things!

Tis the Season! Christmas is by far my favoritest time of the year. The music, joy, love, decorations, family time, break, all of the above! As most of you know, this season will also be the time I graduate from college! Two days... so insane how fast this time came. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am always ready for a new chapter in my life and challenge, but always sad about closing one to! Texas Woman's University has brought me new knowledge, friends, networking, and taught me so much about myself in the last few years. However, I won't cry because it's over, I'll smile because it happened...with a few tears in my eyes of course! :)

Now, I would like to share with you all a few of the things that make us photographers here at Anozira Photography smile and love what we do...

Meet Simba, he is hilarious. You say his name, he slants his head side ways in confusion of how the heck you know his name! :)

Meet 8 month Colton. This little boy has the sweetest spirit. He is a big teddy bear! While we were shooting he got tired of waiting on Santa...so he began to open the presents under the Christmas tree! :)

Meet Cooper, Colton's big brother! Cooper is a soon to be 3 year old that is 100% boy! Loves to run, laugh, but does not like to stay put in one place longer than 5.5 seconds! So cute!

Meet Nicholas. Nicholas, is one of those babies a photographer loves to shoot. He stares right into your camera and has the sweetest facials! Mom, needs to keep him close. Those adorable little lips & big brown eyes are going to have the ladies after him one day! :)

Friends, Family, readers, I hope you enjoyed the sweet photos. Have a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Christmas Hugs,

Laura Loo

Puppies for sale!

This summer our black lab gave birth to 12 adorable lab puppies! We are now trying to find great homes for them! If you are interested in purchasing one please give a ring to 325-573-2040! Labs are some of the most lovable dogs out there! We are keeping one puppy for ourselves because we love labs that much!

Here is the chubbiest of the group getting his first taste of milk from a bowl...I don't exactly know how much milk actually made it into his belly! So cute!

This little boy is not shy for the camera at all...he kept coming up to my camera to smell it and check it out. I got this picture when I whistled and he tilted his head in confusion!

This little girl was also not shy for the camera at all. We are happy to say that this little girl has already found a forever & loving home!

I believe this is one of the black lab boys! Yes, he totally made love to my camera! So serious!

P.S the Lab puppies are located in Snyder, Texas (West Texas).
P.P.S Keep in mind the puppies are bigger, but believe me they are still just as cute! If you are interested give us a ring and come fall in love with one! :)

Hugs & Blessings,
Laura Loo
