Macro Monday!

It's my last blog post of 2007! As I reflect over the past 12 months I realize how much growth has occurred, personally and business-wise. I have to attribute that in part to the fact that I became less concerned about the number of bookings and more concerned about working with the coolest couples. I'm having more fun than ever (and I hope they are, too). How many people can say they LOVE their job and can't WAIT to go to work?!

I have some big ideas in store for 2008, so stay tuned!

Back to Macro Monday...SD was correct, last Monday's image was a closeup of a heater vent. I'm lovin' this week's shot and can't wait to see how long it takes to guess it correctly. The object's color was changed during editing.

Happy New Year!

Back Soon!

I'll be taking a few days off from the blog to spend time with family.

Happy Holidays!

The Polar Express

I'm sorry I kept you waiting, but I thought it was appropriate to save these pictures for a Christmas Eve blog post. I'm sure you'll forgive me.

I've already told you how cold it was the night we arrived. It was so cold, in fact, that The Youngest didn't even want to get out of the car and have his picture taken with the train. The Husband and I were dumbfounded...and then I made him sit for these pictures anyway.

They were taken with available light and no tripod, which is why they're dark and moody.






Bed jumping in the hotel. I'm a bad influence.

The front page of the local paper the day of the Polar Express ride. The ride had been sold out but a good number of passengers failed to show up. We, however, were first in line to pick up our tickets due to a 12:00 PM checkout and nothing else to do.

The train station was restored in...1980 I think the sign said? It was beautiful!

Yeah, only one punch in the ticket. Bummer.

Santa boarded the train halfway through and gave each child a bell off of his sleigh. (And sat for pictures, of course)!

I want to wish all of my friends, family and couple's a very merry Christmas and I can't wait to see you all in the new year! God bless!

The Husband's Debut!

And a Polar Express preview for those of you who are patiently waiting. :)

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture?? Anyone??

The Youngest has made a friend. Awww.

The long anticipated images from The Husband. You'll notice the pictures are much clearer than mine. That's because he's not shooting through the net like I am. That's the Wedding Photographer in me...I don't want to step foot on the field because I'm afraid I'll be too distracting, so I'm content to sit behind everyone on the bleachers. The Husband, on the other hand, has no qualms about getting right out there to get the shot. Good work, honey!

A pitch black shot of the Polar Express. Can you see a little bit of face underneath their hoods? It was sooooo cold out there that most of my shots were a little blurry from my body shivering!

More From the "D" Family

Here's a few from Saturday morning's session with the boys. It literally lasted 15 minutes! I want kids to have fun during these sessions so as long as they stay in one place I'm not too picky about facial expressions. Of couse I'll try to get them both looking at the camera with nice smiles if possible, but I'm not going to stress them out over it! Dad came in after a few minutes and was behind me doing...well...I don't know what he was doing, but they thought it was funny!

I love tounge pictures! They always crack me up!

Macro Monday!

You thought I was going to go another week without a Macro Monday post, didn't you??

I have so many things to tell you about, like my new travel coffee mug that sings (yep!), my ultra-trendy-cool camera strap, Saturday's flag football game where The Husband was the photographer, my session Saturday morning, and, of course, the Polar Express ride...but let's get Marco Monday out of the way, shall we?

Kudos to Lindsay and Pat for guessing the "massaging" shower head correctly! It was so nice of you two to stop by the blog and leave me some love. :) Are you thinking about your E session?
