Senior Pictures

A few years back I started my photography business and High School Senior portraits was my first type of photography to experiment. Finally after so long I have decided to start a blog to show people my work. I wouldn't call myself a professional photographer because I do not have a degree, but I do love photography and have a special eye to capture those special moments.

We will start off with my sister's Senior portraits. Since my family was running short on money around those days and we didn't get a chance to buy my sister the school senior pictures, we decided that I would take her downtown and take her pictures.




Surprisingly enough this was loads of fun! At the time I was taking a photography class at the University of Houston, so I decided to take my old film camera and my Dad's new film camera and took some pictures of my sister. It helps a lot that she is very photogenic, but I'd like to think that my little bit of talent had a little bid to do with it :)

Easy and quick Pot Roast

If you love pot roast like me, but hate! Having to wait 4-5 hours of it to be ready so you hardly ever cook it then you are in luck today!!!

I am gonna show you how you can make a pot roast in 2 hours! Thats half the time! And hey what the heck, maybe even some corn bread to go with it? Yes, all of this still in two hours!!

It is delicious, quick and easy to make and your family will love it!!! Here is what you will need:

A stone piece deep cover baker, preferably our "Pampered Chef deep cover baker"


One of each of the Lipton recipe secret soups, one beefy onion, and one savory herb with garlic.




Vegetables of your choice, I usually do half a small bag of broccoli, half a small bag of cauliflower, about 10 small russet potatoes (cut into 4s) half a bag of baby carrots, and half a bag of baby onions (I don't know what they are actually called, but they are tiny onions)

Get some butter too, you won't need much but you will need enough for the vegetables to get juicy at the beginning of the baking.

And of course, your roast meet, de-thawed and ready to go into the oven!

Ok now that you have all you need you are gonna poke two holes with your knife on each side of the roast, mix both of your soup mixtures in a small bowl, and rub some of it all over your roast, then put the roast in the middle of the baker with no bag! Yes, no bag! The baker has a top lid that should stay on at all times that this roast is in the oven, this will retain the juices and make sure that the roast is very juicy when it is all done.

Then put your vegetables randomly around the roast and sprinkle the rest of the soup mixture on top of the vegetables and roast. Put one table spoon of butter on each side of the baker and one on top of the roast.

Put the lid on it and put it in the over at 375 degrees, set the timer for one hour, and let it cook. After one hour come back and move the vegetables around a bit, so that the top one can dip in the juices and the bottom ones can release some of the juices at the top. Set the timer for another hour.

After that hour has passed take your roast out of the oven and leave the lid on it for about 30 min, put your corn bread in the over while you wait for those 30 min for the roast and then you are ready to serve!!!

And here is my final product!!







It was delicious and quick! Well for a roast haha :)

Enjoy!!

Working of wax samples

Since they changed the old big container testers to something smaller that kind of looks like the mini testers but is a bit bigger,





I am left with all of my old testers!! And got nothing left to do with them but to make them into samples!!

So I have finished doing almost half of them into samples and hopefully by the end of the week finish all of them.







What I'm going to do with ALL of theses when I'm done with them is make sure that they are in a small ziploc haggis with a label that has my info then take them to random doctor's offices, or small businesses or stores and then hopefully that will get my name out there and maybe even some new customers!!! What a great idea isn't it???
