Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
September 26, 2008 – 2:33 pm
With the Month of October being recognized as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, The Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation holds its Annual Fund Drive for six weeks starting in mid-September and ending in October.
President Ronald Reagan enacted Proclamation 5890 in October of 1988 to recognize that each year, approximately a million pregnancies in the United States alone end in miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a newborn child. Reagan stated, “A national observance offers us the opportunity to increase our understanding of the great tragedy involved in the deaths of unborn or newborn babies. It also enables us to consider how, as individuals and communities, we can meet the needs of bereaved parents and family members… ” To read the full Proclamation signed by Reagan, CLICK HERE.

Raining Cats and Dogs
September 23, 2008 – 1:47 am
This weekend I spent out in Nebraska (it was my High School Reunion!). My mom is pretty active with the animals, she helps out with Adopt-a-pet in the Cat House and then also works with my brother’s dog, Lucy, They go on playdates and go to training. Lots of fun!! So while we were out there we got to go with her.
I used to work at a Veterinary Clinic and really enjoyed my time there. All creatures have a special place in my heart, so to get to spend some time with so many was just heaven!!
The photos look off here, click on them to see them full size~ need to get that figured out here on the blog.
Lucy:
Harley Jumping through Hoops:
Sadie: She’s a Canine Good Citizen!!
Dash- my son’s favorite and a very smart dog!
This is getting long, but I really have to share!! While all the dogs above have happy, loving homes, ALL the cats shown below are in need of good homes. They have some good care where they are at, but nothing compares to a home of their own. Sharing with 30 other cats is not ideal! If you are in the York, Nebraska area (or just fall in love with a cat here!), please contact York Adopt-a-Pet to help these guys out.
There seriously was a TON of orange cats! It was so hard to keep them all straight.
This is Roger- he is named after my dad!!
Addie~ she is so pretty!
This is Gary! He was playing it up for me.
Kitten Pile!
Prudence: she likes the top of the TV!
Out of town and Emails
September 18, 2008 – 5:45 pm
Some clients have not been receiving emails from me, if you have not received a reply in the past week, please check your SPAM, add my email (etyler@etylerphotography.com) to your safe contacts list and email me again. Unless I am out of town or sick, I reply to emails most of the time within 24 hours, except for Sat/Sun. That said, I was sick this past week and may have overlooked an email or two under the influence of cold medication. 
My clients are very important to me and I appreciate each and every one of you! If you still don’t receive a reply, please please call me at 970.214.5947. THANK YOU!
I will be out of town this weekend~ I’ll be back on Monday. I still have one headshot session available and one Portrait Session available, but that is IT for this season! Thank you ALL for such a GREAT YEAR!!
Another ‘Peek and Fall Schedule
September 8, 2008 – 7:45 pm
Wow!! We are right in the very middle of the super busy season. How lucky I am to be able to work with so many great people this year!
I have ONE headshot session available Saturday, October 25th. After that session is booked, no more will be scheduled until the New Year at the regular price.
There is also ONE portrait/child/family session available on Saturday, November 8th. No other sessions will be scheduled until after the New Year unless you have a newborn. If you are anticipating a new addition to your family in the next few months (Oct, Nov, Dec & January) and would like a newborn session, please email me as soon as possible so I can be sure to have your little one’s arrival on my calendar.
As I am deep in the busy season, your patience is very much appreciated. It will take me a bit longer to reply to emails and voicemails as I wil be on-location often the next couple months. Thank you all for such a WONDERFUL season so far!
E. Tyler Photography will be CLOSED for the month of December. Please note that all voicemails and emails will be returned as soon as possible, but there will be more of a delay during this month. NO SESSIONS will be scheduled for December unless you are a newborn client.
A few THEATRE dates to remember: Fort Collins High School will be performing their annual VAUDEVILLE Sept. 19th & 20th. This is always such a fun event!
Paragon Theatre opens with The Glass Menagerie on October 18th.
Be on the lookout for these performances and more to be featured on the blog later this season.
And because I can’t make a post without some photos, here are a couple more headshots! Have a great week everyone!
