New Props Make Me Happy :)

I made an impromptu trip to the store this morning with Ellie, and found some amazing photo props! I can't wait to test them out with a few newborns ;)


I should be ordering my backdrops soon...I swear I'm going to pass out when I click 'send order' haha. Here's a shot of a couple of the props I got:



I think they look amazing alone, but they will look so much better with a 6lb bundle of baby atop them (seperately of course!).

Busy.

Revamped my website and blog :) I LOVE the way they came out.

Check it out here!

Finally...

...designed the blog to look how I want it to :)

I need sleep.

Every single night, I make a to-do list for the next day. When you have 2 kids and a husband, you need all the help you can get in organization. So this helps me.

You see where I misspelled 'client'? Why in the world after I wrote it wrong did I think a little red dotted line was going to appear under it?

Too much time working at the computer + sleep deprivation = one nutso mama :)

Friday.

Every Friday night, me and my neighbor hang out outside with our kids and husbands, so the kids can burn off energy and we can all get some fresh air. It's cute. I need adult interaction at the end of the week, because being stuck in the house 7 days a week is NOT fun. It was fun, when my girls were babies, but as soon as they hit the running/temper-tantrum-throwing/pick-everything-off-the-carpet-and-eat-it stage, I give up.


So we went out, as usual, but this time I took pics. I almost never bring my pro camera out with me, for fear that it gets broken (eek!) but I need to document my girls' lives before they are teenagers and never home :(






That's all for now!

Eek!

I've been so busy, I haven't had time to blog! I've been getting a lot of photo shoot requests for the holidays, so I'm filling out lots of paperwork and writing a lot of e-mails in preparation for that. I have some photos from Friday that I want to post, so I'll get to that in a little while after I'm done :P

Also, I am looking for a new color scheme for my photography site and blog, and it's taking forever because I have to do it myself (blah). I love designing things, but with everything I have going on, I just don't have time. I think I may break down and have someone do it for me finally. We'll see.

Photo Shoot.

I had a photo shoot this morning, with a sweet little boy named Grayson :) we took fall photos, and birthday photos (his first birthday is next Monday!). He is an absolute doll and has such pretty blue eyes. I'll share a sneak peek here, but if you want to see the full preview later, go to my photo blog :P

Shoot and Tell :)

The theme is 'Circular', and this is my entry! I took this last Saturday at a photo shoot, and I love the single bubble I got!

Tomorrow

I will start posting pics :)


Gotta make my blog more interesting, haha.

Almost Finished

Isn't it fabulous?

Of course I'd figure it out 3 minutes later...

And just in case you didn't know...

I am a professional photographer (willing to travel!). I do not know how to make a link with a photo to my site, so just look at the left sidebar for the links until I figure it out :)

I'm back :)

I decided to make a personal blog again, so I can post things about my personal life (mainly pics of the kids for friends and family). I read so many blogs at night, so I definitely have the time to keep up with my own :P

I'll start with a project I've been working on...

I went out the other day, to find a chair. Not just any chair, had to be wooden, have a cushion, and sort of unique. I couldn't find one. Granted, I only looked on Craigslist and Goodwill, but still, out here there aren't many places to find things :)

So I pull into my driveway, and what do I see? A chair sitting next to my neighbor's bulk trash on the curb! She had a whole bunch of stuff she was getting rid of, but I had my eyes set on the chair. It's dark green, and has a sunflower carved into the back of it with a REALLY ugly cushion. I don't know how you can even call it a cushion, because it was hard as a brick. And detached from the wood. I'll save you the gory details, but the chair wasn't in good condition. Didn't matter. It was mine.

I went to Hobby Lobby today to get fabric, batting, and paint. I have maybe the most brilliant idea in the world, and I'll see tomorrow if it can come to fruition! I already did the seat cover over, complete with batting (and let me tell you, this is now one fluffy chair), and I have to do a few more coats of paint on the wood and attach the cover. I am completely stoked! I initially wanted to use it as a newborn photography prop, but it will stay in my living room as a decorative piece until I can find a small glass table to sit next to it. Anyway, I can't believe how much I'm rambling on my first post, so I'll stop for now, and continue tomorrow with pics of my project adventure!
