Day 48, 49, and 50

Girls' night out was pretty awesome last night, so today has been nothing but lazy. Those kind of days are nice every now and then.

Day 48- I caught this while waiting for my sister in the Maurice's parking lot.


Day 49: This is what it looks like to get thoroughly chewed out by a chubby two year old. I think she was letting me know she was sick and tired of having a camera in her face.


Day 50: Desi and I took a little detour on the way home from PSR for a photo hunt. This was moments before she thought it would be great fun to try to scare a skunk we met. >.<

Thankfully, the skunk just huffed and waddled off.

After my in-laws took the family out to an awesome dinner, Josh took the kids and I for a drive. We found niftiness to shoot. <3

It looks BLEH small. Click it to see a slightly better version. I need to upload it to flickr.

Day 45 and 46

It's my birthday, and I'll be lazy if I want to. :) I've got a sick toddler, a headache, a couple of sessions and one big event to plan. I'm excited about the last two but the first two have me ready to call it a night.

P.S. Don't you just love my daughter's fashion skills?

Day 42, 43, and 44

I've been in a bit of a lazy, grumpy rut, but after much whining, I goofed off a bit today with the camera.

Day 42 (First photo) is the closest I've been able to get to my squirmy little toddler with a camera in AGES. She thinks this is hilarious.

Mommy does not.


Day 43; All That Glitters

Sometimes, the rain is lovely.





And Day 44....


But I still love you.



Sometimes.

Day 39, 40, and 41

Day 37 and 38- Snow Angels and Spring Specials

It was a snow day on Monday and the kids could not be kept inside. Even after twenty minutes of bundling them up, they were still bouncing off the walls ready to go out. My little copy cat did *everything* her big sis did: including fall flat on her face in the snow. On purpose.

aaaaaaaaaaaand....

Day 38 is a little sneak preview for my Spring special. Book a shoot this spring and get a cute and unique way to display your memorable art.


I'm a bit of a photo nut, so this is my new favorite way to display my latest shots around the house. With the set you'll get your own mini clothesline and pins, and five 5x5 textured photos from your shoot. Order more 5x5's to change out your display or add more to your line!
Clotheslines are super cute alternatives to bulletin boards above your work desk, too.



You can also hang them vertically for a twist on the look.

As a bonus, all shoots booked with the Spring special will receive a bound proofbook.

Contact me soon for a fun, one-hour Spring shoot, a five photo clothesline display, and a 4x6 proofbook for $100.

Day 32, 33, 34, and 35

I've been busy...Okay, I've been lazy with my posting. But I haven't missed a day of shooting yet. Go me :)

Josh took me out to see Avatar last night (which was awesome). I spent my Friday off being absorbed in fixing up my client info packets and checking over my portrait contract. Fun and thrilling stuff, I assure you.

But that is off my to-do list for now. Next!

So I've been all about the quick snapshots the last few days. The first was at Sydney's birthday party. My kid kept snagging all the balloons. Monday was odd and busy, but I wanted celebrate a bit. I am officially a size 10- which is quite a jump from where I started a couple months ago at 16. I snapped a shot of my reward: a new pair of skinny jeans. :)


And I am freaking sick of this snow. The roads were crap this morning, so I just kept the crazies at home and caught up on some laundry. It's so pretty outside, it is...but I really would like it to just go away.

kthanxbai.

Day 28: Play

Not a good shot in any technical sense, but I love how much she gets into her "song writing". I had to catch a (craptastic) shot of Devlin copying big sis, too.





Today was cold, but utterly lovely outside. I ran outside to catch a few shots of the crazy blue sky. Those few minutes outside went a long way towards saving me from losing my mind. Seriously, Spring- getcha butt in gear. We're ready for you.

Day 27

I haven't had more than five minutes to do much of anything today. -_- Oh weekend, you better rock. YOU BETTER ROCK.


And check out my awesome salt shakers...and filthy oven.

Day 24,25, and 26

I am soooooooo getting cabin fever. This cold, the gloom, and being locked inside is getting to me. My poor family has been putting up with my crab ass attitude for a couple days now. >.< It'll get better. Spring will be here soon. Just keep swimming.... Just keep swimming. Josh found some nifty police light cover....things. I popped them over my light sphere and have been playing with these things for at least a half hour now. ^_^ That's cheered me up quite a bit.





And the cookies.







'cause cookies are awesome .

Day 24- Yeah. I did a generic Valentine's heart thing.

Shut up.

Day 25- This is what happens every day after I get Devlin home from the sitters.

She escapes.

Day 26- It Won't Rain All The Time

Day 22 and 23

So yesterday I thought I found a nifty shot after church. I got all excited, pulled my car over and ...noticed that I left all of my damn memory cards at home. bleh. I wound up wandering in my parents yard. My father is a blacksmith. He usually makes colonial period pieces, camping gear, and some random home decor. Then every so often he gets bored and comes up with something off the wall. This is one of several birds that he created to hold plants. They are soooo at home with his collection of creepy lawn gnomes and frowning flowers.

Today's shot went waaaay off from what I was expecting. I had one of my off the wall still life's going on when my oldest begged to have her picture taken. When I put everything aside to take a few, this is the best face I could get from her.
I liked it.
