Addicting : ETSY baby items

January 25, 2011 Posted in personal

So, I had 3 weeks off for winter break. Before going on break, I had a list. My winter to-do list. This list consisted of things like prepare for my 2010 taxes, clean off my desk, re-do my website, print canvas prints for Tatsu’s room, and so on. Well, I’m proud to say that I did not accomplish any of them. Why you ask? Well…it’s because I have the custest baby in the house and I got addicted to ETSY. Yup. Etsy.com. Everyday, I spent hours looking for photo props and cute baby items…and let me tell you, they have a ton of great stuff. I wish I had the skills to make my own stuff, but since I don’t, I gladly spent my hard-earned money on things I probably could live without.

Here are some examples…

ADORABLE bibs (they look cute on Tatsu)

Baby bowties (future photo prop…let me know if you want me to bring them to a shoot. They are all sizes newborn – 2 yrs)

And last but not least, matching burp cloth and onesie (this one was per Jimmy’s request…he wanted a “fancy” burp cloth for when we go to weddings)

…and because it’s impossible to complete a post without cute photos, here are some recent ones…

Who Are YOU??

January 21, 2011 Posted in personal

Soooo, once in awhile I wonder, who reads my blog? Sometimes, writing a blog entry feels a little awkward since I’m not quite sure of my audience. Who are you? Are you my past client, friends of my clients, my family and friends, other photographers, or did you just simply come across my blog?

I would really like to know who you are…SO, if you would leave me a comment with your name, and why you keep coming back to my blog, I will do a random drawing at the end of the week for a free photo session.

So…who are you?

And because it’s rude to ask without telling myself, here’s a little something about me… (in no particular order)

I   …     am 29 years old
            have THE most adorable son
            a middle school teacher
            a Christian
            love chocolate, naps, and tulips
            am married to a man who cleans after me
            have a minor in Photography from UC San Diego (GO TRITANS!)
            am fluent in Japanese

So…who are you?
