New Blog Home

My blog has a new home. I turned my site into a blogsite.

Tick Tock

My postcards shipped today!!! Now all I have to do is wait until Monday for delivery. Whatever will I do until then? Just wait anxiously? NOOOOO...I need to come up with a special for Spring! I'm so being a procrastinator.

I ordered a white shoot through 40" umbrella today. I have a gold reflector and soft boxes, but the boxes seem awkward to take on outdoor shoots. Next week is spring break and Miss E will be at her grandpa's. I'm hoping to take the sis & sis-in-law out for some OCF. Of course it will be a trial run because I know nothing about OCF. Hmmmmm...maybe I should go read up on that.

Shhhh...don't tell

Today we found what has to be the first bluebonnet patch of the year! But don't tell anyone. I want to have the scoop on the bluebonnet photos...lol. Miss E has gotten to where she tells me how many pictures I'm allowed to take. About half way through she limited me to 5 more. Of course those 5 weren't the best because she was ready to go in and eat.















I took this little one outside because her outfit just looked like it was meant to be photographed in the bluebonnets. Her parents loved the pics.

Friday wedding

A couple of friends of mine got married on Friday. Friday at 5:30pm! Rush hour!!! LOL. It was a beautiful ceremony as most are. The bride was radiant and the groom handsome. I was not shooting, but I did take my camera and snuck in some shots.

Things that make you go hmmmm...

I wanted to put up Zack Arias's video he posted on Scott Kelby's website but for some reason it runs really choppy when I embed it. Or maybe I'm just not a qualified enough blogger to add it. Is there a blogger test I should have taken or a course to learn how to embed a video to where it doesn't skip about 10 frames while it plays? (Also, I was afraid it would justify my entry into the photography geek realm. I say entry because I don't go completely ga-ga over photography stuff - just minor google-age on some things that I find completely cool and awe-inspiring.)

Update on the postcard...still working on it. Trying to get it done before they tell me that I forfeit the prize due to procrastination. Durn me and my waiting. Tom Petty said that the waiting was the hardest part, but for us procrastinators it seems to be the easiest thing in the world.

We finished up ADSR4. I was a little sad. Not only did we have wonderful prizes, but I got to work with Debbie again (which was great because I just adore her and her work). Participating also made me want to delve a little into scrapbooking again. With the photography I haven't really done much scrapbooking. I thought of doing a simple memory scrapbook page for clients of our session. So far I think that there's always one memorable moment in a shoot, so why not go that extra little mile and help them remember it as I do? Too hokey? I think it's a cute idea. Now I just have to motivate myself into doing it. There's that procrastination again.

Weekend fun!

This weekend I got to have a shoot with a wonderful young lady. It was fun getting to work with someone older than 5...LOL. We went downtown (which I would secretly LURVE to do more of). Here's a sneak peek (please excuse the proof numbers).

Weekend at the park

My sis and I took out her friend's daughters to snap some shots as a surprise. I was really pleased with how these turned out. We didn't get a ton of pictures, but we got some nice usable ones.
