Snider Shots Blog bio picture
  • Welcome to my Blog!

    Lots of artsy, a ton of energy, a bit of the east coast, a whole bunch of laughter, and a lot of adventure. There you have it ~me~

    Photography is SO much more than my job. It's my ~jump up and down on my bed~ passion. Photography allows you to see life in a moment and life in the in between (that's where the living really happens).

    I love what I do.  I love being able to play with kids, see the sweetest babies, laugh with amazing families, and be a part one of the most important days in a couples life.  This job ROCKS!
     
    So...
    sit back, grab something to drink, a snack, and enjoy!  I look forward to hearing from you.

    “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you
    have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things,
    long after you have forgotten everything.”
    -Aaron Siskind

I’M BACK!!!!!

YES!!!  I’m back to work:)  I’ve actually been back to work for a few weeks now, but I’ve been so busy with sessions and of course a new little one that well I just haven’t had the time to post:)  HOWEVER, let me leave you with a recent family pic and of course some pics of my new little one.  Enjoy my new blog and I’ll be back tomorrow with some photos from some recent sessions, summer session special, holiday mini session special…etc.  SO much to talk about:)  XO~

Disney

While on Christmas break we took a small trip to Disney for the day.  We didn’t tell Emma where we were going and when she saw the powerline Mickey ears she flipped out with excitement:)  A few months back Jason and I got the flip camcorder and can I just tell you that we LOVE it!!!  I’ve made 3 videos with it so far and it is the BOMB!!!!  SO cool!  I sometimes forget to use my camera cause I have this nifty little thing:)  This was one of those times.  lol.  I really don’t like taking my big camera into the theme parks because I have heard way to many horror stories.  However, I did get some shots with my point and shoot:)  Enjoy!!

Soccer

Did I mention that I married my best friend???  Jason and I will be married for 7 years this July.  We will be celebrating 7 years of marriage and 15 years of friendship this year.  I met Jason when I was 14 and we became the best of friends.  We started dating in college:)  We both say we would have started dating before then but we knew that when we started dating it would be forever and well we just weren’t ready for forever yet. HA!  Jason has been a great husband and an incredible father.  He coached Emma’s soccer team this year and she LOVED it.  I must admit that I was pretty proud myself.  I mean the man works VERY hard to support us and then to spend the extra time he has to 3-4 year olds is just the sweetest thing:)  Okay I’m done braggin:)  Anyway, this was Emma’s first season in soccer and she will be playing again.  She kicked one goal this season and we are so proud of that one goal!!!!:)  What a sport!  For the past couple months our Saturday mornings were consumed with the soccer and we loved every minute of it.  Can’t wait till next season!!!!

Emma's trademark became that bow in her hair.:)  I mean come on, how tacky are those outfits.  We needed to spice it up a bit;)

Christmas

We had a wonderful holiday season together.  Every year my family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve.  Then on Christmas day we go to my in laws.  By the end of the two days we are completely zoncked (is that a word and if so better check that spelling):)  Emma got everything she wanted:) It was our last Christmas with just the three of us so this one was a little more special then in the past.  It was definitely a reality check for Jason and myself.  I think the pregnancy became real as we realized that next year we will be a family of 4.  It is so hard to imagine another child without picture Emma Bean.  But we are thrilled to say the least:)  Here is a pic of us at my in laws in front of their tree.  Emma had such a wonderful time this year and REALLY got into the whole present opening concept…even if they weren’t her presents;)  Oh and might I add that I LOVE my new Betsy Johnson watch:)

The Baby…

Is not here yet:)  No I haven’t had her yet.  However, as most of you know I have been have some problems this pregnancy.  They are looking good now though!  YAY!  The previa is gone, my second blood work came back great, and she is looking BIG and healthy.  The doctor does not expect me to go to my due date and I am thankful for that.  If I do go all the way to my due date she will be here in 7 weeks.  Seeing how they aren’t expecting that…um there is no telling.  She was weighing 5 lbs 2 weeks ago so we have another big one on our hands.  I’m not gonna pretend that doesn’t make a little nervous.  Okay well a lot nervous:) lol  However, I know the Lord will take care of baby and me so we will be just fine.

So needless to say with baby stuff, Emma, shoots, weddings and the normal family things going on we have been extremely busy.  So I’m sorry I have slacked on the blog.  Which brings me to why I’m writing today.  To CATCH UP.  I’m going to ignore the fact that my laundry is beyond embarrassing right now and if someone knocked on my door I would probably have to dig a hole and crawl in it.  BUT, my blog will be updated:)  You know it’s bad when your blog says “happy 2009!” lol!!!!  HA!!!!

I also want to take this time to thank everyone of you that refer me.  I get emails daily with upcoming weddings and shoots and new babies and high school seniors all coming from you guys.  Again I can not tell you what that does for me.  You guys are like a second family to me.  Thank you guys!!!!!!!!
