Double Maternity!

A friend of mine, and her friend are both some preggo people right now so i was asked to do a double maternity shoot.  One girl being nearly 38(ish) weeks, the other being 24(ish).  So while there is a vast difference in stages of pregnancy, they both had fun and were a blast to work with.  I wish you both the absolute best in your pregnancies and can't wait to see me some new babies!!

Exciting Things!!

Some exciting things are happening for me on this photography path!  I got a coupon in the mail for a free photo book so I figured...heck why not order a portfolio!  Something that is finished and professional and i can keep in my camera bag.  So it came today....I loves!

and in other WAY more exciting news...a golden box has been added to my home.  A golden box of wonder.  A very fancy shmancy golden box.  Can I get a woot woot for a new 35mm f/1.8 lens?!  My first prime lens and i think i'm in love.  It's so little, and yet...so great!

Fall has begun!

Judging from all of the blogs and facebook status updates that i've read this week, FALL has begun across the country!  It's just like one day we were groaning and moaning that we were tired of the 90 degree heat, and then BAM!  It's 65 degrees, windy and overcast and you have 3.5 seconds to pull out your fall wardrobe and get it hung up.  The family and I have a little walk that we have taken a couple of times recently that goes down our little street, down a little hill, and ends with a hopeful visit to a pony.  It makes my daughter's day when that pony is outside.  So I got brave and took both children by myself today, which is a task with only a single stroller.  My girl did great walking the whole way up and down the hill, but no pony was in sight unfortunately.  I brought the camera to photograph the little guy but ended up snapping some greenery instead.
