What is wrong with me?!

I totally woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Our dog (well, ONE of our dogs, the original one) is whining because she doesn't like to drink out of the new water dish. She is scared of it. Seriously! It glugs and apparently that freaks her out. The kids were playing school really nicely all morning, but I have yet to accomplish much...well besides getting lots of editing done! But the house is just in major need of a 15 minute clean up and I really don't want to do it!

My mother-in-law loaned me The Testament, by John Grisham. Its about a missionary in Brazil....I am hooked and can't stop reading it. Maybe because our friends recently left for long term mission work in Brazil? Who knows...it's a good book so far. Read it!

I came across this picture on craigslist the other day....and love it.

Its been the inspiration to several designs I have made over the weekend, but I just can't decide where I would hang them in my house. I made one with a white background and light blue stems and birds, but I just don't know. What do you think? Look at all familiar? (I must have a thing for trees and birds!)

And I am still working on this little cutie pie's pictures....a few more to go before I am finished!

Did you love this personal post today? Hope I didn't bore you all to death! ;)

Still here...

I'm still here! I have just been working on a session that is not going online. So, nothing new to post. But, I just finished it and will soon be posting a few more from my Tuesday session last week.
I can't remember if I mentioned it or not, but Bry (from Tuesday's session) was so great! (Well, they ALL were!) What I mean is that she has a great eye for detail. She is a hairstylest at Hot Rod Hair in Salem. http://www.hotrodhair.com/ She knew how to fix her friends hair just right for the shot and had great ideas for different poses. If I ever decide to start shooting weddings I am definitely going to consult her!

Tonya & Bry and John

Tonya and Bry seem to be the best of friends and John and Bry are recently engaged! (Congratulations again!) I spent most of the night laughing at the girls antics and John's good natured attitude! Bry is a hair stylist in Salem and just about found a new job last night. She had great poses and did a great job with making sure Tonya's hair was "just right"! Thanks Bry, you made my job easy!

I made my first major mistake last night...I walked out the door without a battery in my camera! I was incredibly embarressed! But Tonya and her friends were patient and happy to let me take some time to solve the problem. They had a chance to get some dinner while I decided what to do. I could drive home to get the battery but took the chance we would end up completely in the dark by the time I got back. So I decided to find a local camera store to buy a backup battery. (Which I planned to do someday anyway!) Fortunately the battery had a partial charge (about 1/3) and I headed back to the park.

So at about 6:30 (an hour after our original appointment.) we got started with the shoot. I have to apologize one more time! But again, I was so thankful to have a laid back group who took it all in stride!

While I am not going to claim to have taken my best set of shots, I did get to play around with lighting and such, since by the time we ended the session is was completely dark! I really got to learn lots of new things! Hopefully I will get some of those pictures posted later in the week.

Well, off I go to get my editing done...only 3 1/2 sessions to finish! (I am about 1/2 done with Kelly and Ken (from Saturday) and I will post a few more pictures of them tomorrow!)
