5 Fact Friday (a day late)
1. The weather is really upsetting! I have had to cancel 2 shoots and I really have no room in my schedule to reschedule.....stress! Darn mother nature! I will work it out one way or another I suppose.
2. I am meeting up with some fellow photographers tomorrow at Blueberry Hill and I am SOOOOOOO EXCITED -just plain giddy about it! They are all mama's around my age to, woot! I am also photo shooting my neighbors at one of my favorite places that I just don't get to enough! So Sunday will be a fun filled day of business and pleasure for me and I love it.
3. I am so impressed with what Blaine has learned at school this year already. He walks around the house singing songs, practicing his math and spelling. I love that he loves to go. Leelyn's second day at MDO wasn't as terrific as his first. He cried. Picked him up and he was still crying. Broke my heart!
4. I have finally organized my garage. I can actually park my car in it. My props are up off the floor hanging nice and neat. I plan on using my garage during the freezing winter months as a studio of sorts. This was a huge accomplishment for me- trust me LOL
5. I took the plunge and donated all of my baby stuff. Car seats, strollers, high chair, glider, bassinet, clothes- etc. It is final, no more kids for me. After my last gyno appointment, it just isn't going to happen even if I wanted it to. My life could be at stake as well as the baby's. I will probably schedule my surgery the first part of next year.I am sad but I am tired of dealing with pain also. I have two gorgeous boys and I am so thankful for them. Besides, there is always adoption if I really want that girl.

A special note from my clients and strangers- St. Louis Mo photographer
These notes mean SO much to me, more then you know. Thank you everyone!
"Nicole was great and the pictures were beautiful. We had our little baby girl's announcements taken by Nicole, and she did a excellent job. She also worked with our son, who is shy, and with most photographers he wouldn't open up. Nicole was terrific with him and put him at ease. She takes her time and really works to get the very best pose. She also doesn't mind getting down and dirty to get to their level. Our experience with her has been wonderful and we highly recommend her. We always get compliments on the photos she has taken".

"I have had four AMAZING photo sessions with Nicole at Spirit's Breeze Photography! I love taking pictures of my children! Who doesn't? No matter how many pictures I take, I will never be able to capture them in the amazing way that Nicole has done. Obtaining a great picture of little children is often frustrating and in the end can have disappointing results. Our experiences with Nicole have been wonderful and effortless. She is always 100% prepared. One time she even had several different stations set up when we got there and all I had to do was sit back and watch while she captured my 12 month old at each and every one, effortlessly! My children have a great time with her and I love the fact that a lot of the time, they were unaware that their picture was being taken. As a result, I have amazing pictures of my son and daughter that capture their true personality. The pictures are precious and timeless and we will enjoy them for many years

"Nicole Gourley has been photographing my daughters for the past five years. Back when my girls were seven and nine she came to our house and made them feel completely at ease during our first session. Every year, they look forward to her photography sessions. She has such a wonderful way of making them relax and feel comfortable. Because of that, she is able to capture the best natural moments in her photography. She is truly a gifted photographer and I cherish all of the memories that she has created and will continue to create for our family".

"Hi. Ironically, my hairstylists name is Nicole Gourlay and when I googled her name today I stumbled across your photography site. I am a huge lover of photography and enjoy taking pictures on the side strictly for fun. I must say that your work is amazing. What a lovely start to my weekend, seeing some of your pictures giving me inspiration to do a shoot with my two kids this weekend in the backyard. Have a great day. Wish I were closer and we\'d schedule a session with you"!!

"Everyone I share them with says great things about them...mostly that they look like they came straight from a magazine"!
Courtney Solstad
"I came across your site today looking for a photographer in our area. I was completely taken back by what I saw. I never knew this kind of photography exsisted. Your work is beautiful to say the least. I would love to book a session with you. I can't tell you how excited I am to hopefully have you photography my family"!
Jane Miller
"I saw your beautiful work on my friends facebook. I want to definitely book you for our Christmas photos and we also need a large family photo to hang above our fire place. Do you have any openings in the fall?
Tamara Stellar
"Nicole, I just want to tell you that I loved every single photo you took of our family. Deciding was more difficult then I ever imagined it would be. You have a way to make your clients feel comfortable and it shows in the photos you took of us. I still tear up when I look and the moments you got for us. I will never forget our experience with you and I plan on using your services this point forward. Again thank you so much."
