For as long as I can remember, my dad has wanted a Z. Now, after what it seems like 50 years, he finally got it. No more drooling over the magazines or begging my mom. It’s here. And my dad is SO. FREAKING. EXCITED.
Told ya he was excited. I bet you anything he’s going to sleep in it tonight.
Proud owner.
Personally, I don’t think the Z really goes with our driveway. Oh well. He doesn’t need to know that.
This thing is so brand-spanking new and shiny.
Anywhoo, thanks for checking in! Just to let you know (because I know that you totally care), I’ll be attending WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) in Vegas next week and after that I have several photo shoots lined up. Stay tuned!
Yesterday I braved myself and went to Ryan’s birthday party at Pump It Up. Pump It Up is basically a crazy big warehouse filled with crazy big jumpers. I mean, it’s not one of those jumpers you see in front of the houses…these jumpers were HUMONGOUS. So big that even I went down the slides…several times…without deflating them.
Shhehh…I guess this is what my world will consist of when I have a child…Crazy big jumpers.
Here are some photos of Jimmy and Ryan while they took a little break from…you guessed it. Jumping.
Happy 6th birthday little guy…I love you!
It’s official! Nope, I’m not pregnant. Nope, I didn’t get a pink slip (I’m a teacher). It’s official though…JIMMY IS GOING TO LEAVE ME FOR VALENTINE’S DAY! Can you believe that? He’s going to be a youth advisor for our high school church camp. I know, I know…it’s great that he’s doing this AND it’s not like we reaaallly celebrate Valentine’s but I still don’t want to be alone! To top it off, he’s going to be gone for the WHOLE WEEKEND…which means that I’ll be lonely and pathic starting from Friday night.
Boo.
Well, I know it’s not a post unless there’s a picture, so here’s an old photo of him. **I tried taking a new one, but he became suspicious…It’s ok though, he never checks my blog**
I’m telling myself that it’s ok…I’ll be off to Vegas with my bestest friend for the WPPI convention the day after V-day. It’s ok…
Recently I have received several e-mails asking about my post-shoot editing process. I would like to give you a solid answer (ie. Step 1, step 2, step 3), but I actually don’t have any one particular way I edit my photos. Even if I did, I won’t remember because I try to do 10+ things at once. I do my usual color correction and saturation, but other than that, it depends on the photo itself. I’m an action addict so most of my photos have some sort of action ran before getting to my final image. Oh, and one other thing…I love light so I do anything I can to make the images look like there was an abundance of light shining on the subject.
Here are some before and afters
Thanks for checking in!
How is it that I’m surrounded by the most adorable kids? Prepare for a long post…it was basically impossible to narrow down my choices…oh, and its also impossible to view any of these photos without smiling. I DARE you. Yup, its THAT cute.
Ready?
One…
Two…
Three…
I think she looks like a tiny ladybug. Red with black polka-dots!
She has the most beautiful eyes…this is when Miss T was smiling at her mom. I tell you, moms get the BEST smiles!
The princess wandering in the forest.
Wardrobe change!
The next two photos are my favorite! ADORABLE!!!
She looked at the back of my camera and exclaimed, “You took a picture of my eyelashes!”
After all the hard work, we HAD to let her play! (It’s also VERY hard to say “no” to her)
Peek-a-boo!
There you are!
I decided the last photo should be in black and white…I think it captures her true beauty. Don’t you agree?
Ok, I lied. One more photo
- Until next time! Thanks for checking in!
