Praying Mantis Nymphs

June 23, 2009

They finally hatched!!! We were getting worried since last year the egg pod that we had did not hatch.

As bugs go these are probably some of the coolest out there!

This last picture is not the best but shows the scale of these little guys. The dowel that it is on is about 1/4 inch in diameter.

Hopefully they will keep the bugs from eating to much of our garden plants.

Melissa Pfannenstiel: Gives me the willies! Great shots!

Erin Potter: Ewwwww! lol These are awesome. I need to find me a bug. Maybe a ladybug though. lol

She was so precious! A great sleeper and content while awake. Her Mommy did everything right by scheduling before she was born and having the session within the first 2 weeks. It makes for a smooth session and then we are able to get sleeping and curled up images. Otherwise the babies just want to stretch out!

As soon as I saw the quote on the wall and the beautiful colors I knew I had to have a image on their bed. And I love the way it turned out! The quote says “I gave you my heart and you filled it with love.” I think little Joise will be filling her parents hearts with a lot of love.

Wow! That is what I feel when I walk away from every performance of the Abernethy Performing Arts dance studio. Everyone works so hard to make a memorable performance for all that come to watch! The images are up on my site. If you need did not get the password contact Keith or myself.

Sindea Horste: He is cute! I am a sucker for red heads... I think you captured him just perfectly! And to tell the truth, my son who has red hair has portraits JUST like these!

Christy Baker: Why do red heads look so ornery but sweet at the same time? :0)

Lauralee: That first shot just makes me smile so much! That will bring back memories years from now!! Great images.

Melissa Pfannenstiel: Tons of personality in these. He's a cutie!

Jane Eaton Hamilton: Love the hair! He is awfully cute.

Joy: These are great! I bet they look just like him!

Erin Potter: You definitely captured his personality! Nice work and super cute kiddo!
