my frozen nemesis

daily i face one enemy..the ice cubes in our home.

we have never owned one of those awesome refrigerators that makes crushed ice and squirts nice ice-cold water instead i have had to rely on these little plastic lovelies to produce little frozen islands of happiness.

usually, the demands for ice are not great but in the heat of summer, ice is a necessity.

the problem is multi-fold...

..my freezer is small and purchasing a bag of ice is not practical.

..the ice cube trays themselves are not the best. i recently went on this quest to find NEW and IMPROVED ice cube trays and came up empty handed {i did find some online but with an $8 shipping and handling price tag!}my parents, had some on hand they gave me and wouldn't you know it, they were the same dreaded blue ones i had!

..i am horrible about remembering to fill them up.

well, this week i reached my boiling point in my ice dilemma. i have decided to make a point to empty the ice cube trays in a bag and fill them up every day so our ice supply remains sufficient.

sounds easy enough, huh?

however, i am forgetful so i even put this on my to-do list.

i know. the problems in my world are just catastrophic.

stay tuned when tiffany tackles her next problem...the great jewelry mix-up of 2010.

jasen and annette

j & a have been friends of ours for a while and around christmas time, my husband and i were stumped on what would be a great "couple" gift for them.

then we got their christmas card and i realized i had never taken their photos so....

...the rest is history.

finally, six months later on a beautiful summer day, we gave jasen and annette their present.



i have been wanting to do an urban-alley-parking-garage-shoot for a while and felt that jasen and annette would be the perfect couple to try it on.



it was so much fun. they were so very relaxed and were up to try anything.



what cracked me up the most however, was jasen's fake laugh. seriously, if i had recorded it i could make everyone giggle just by playing it!



and annette, she couldn't stop smiling the whole time!



such a sweet couple.





thank you jasen and annette for letting me take your photos and spend an evening laughing with you.

new tKs logo

isn't he soo cute?

my niece, logan, who is a graphic designer, came over yesterday and designed my new logo and color scheme for tKs photography.

i was both excited and nervous about this endeavor but i really enjoyed sitting by the computer and working creatively with her.

she is so talented.
such a perfectionist.
a crazy woman in illustrator.

i am very excited for tKs photography's new look.

thank you logan.

daisies

by far, my favorite flower especially when they are growing so beautifully in our backyard.
