Welcome to my photography blog, and thanks for visiting. I am looking forward to a new chapter in my life with "a thousand words photography." I love the challenges and triumphs that I have experienced in photography and am excited to learn what the future holds.
Here you will find bits and pieces of my life including my husband and four children. I will also post previews of photo sessions with clients. Feel free to leave a comment (comments), or e-mail me at alicia@thecervas.com.
Monday, June 30, 2008 at 03:46PM One of our favorite things about summer are the afternoon thunderstorms that roll through. We love to sit in the garage, listen to the thunder, watch for lightning, and enjoy the smell of fresh summer rain. Today we had just that, and Megan said, "Mom, Mom, you have to get a picture of that! It is so cool!" So here are the pictures I took of our summer storm.
Monday, June 23, 2008 at 01:52PM After I finished mowing the lawn this morning, I sat down in the shade of our trees to cool off. The kids were in the tree so I snapped some fun pictures. I practiced getting proper exposure with effective back lighting. They love this tree and spend a lot of time up there. If you ever walk past our house, and hear someone calling out to you - be sure to look up!
Saturday, June 21, 2008 at 05:18PM Okay, here it is - the first official "Cerva's Snack Shack". I just couldn't bring myself to take them to the pool for the fifth day in a row, so we had to find something else to do. In hindsight, maybe the pool wasn't such a bad idea after all. O'well, they had a blast and spent good quality time together ('cause they don't get enough of that already).
They sold lemonade, licorice ropes, fun dips, blow pops, and an assorted mix of candy.
You may notice Canyon eating the candy. He wanted nothing to do with selling it, so he put no money towards buying it in the beginning. However, as soon as the "shack" opened, he was the first to start buying.
Now, tell me this doesn't make you want some strawberry lemonade!
Friday, June 20, 2008 at 07:59AM After 5 LONG days of wiggling a loose tooth, it finally fell out this morning. She has cried a thousand tears this week, thanks to a few yanks from her dad, the fact that she was "scared" to loose her tooth, and she hasn't been able to bite down on anything. But this morning, her smile couldn't have been bigger! Here are a few of my favorite quotes: "I keep trying to wiggle it but it's not there!" "Maybe I'll get ten dollars!" "I'm excited to have money, money, money!" "I don't want to go any where today - I look like a DORK with a missing tooth!" "It's a bigger hole than I thought it would be - I
can stick my whole tongue through it!" What a kid! 
Friday, June 20, 2008 at 05:37AM Megan LOVES flowers. She is constantly pointing them out to me every where we go, reminding me of the simple beauties all around that I simply take for granted.
