A little Help

Hi Chicky’s I need some help! I just bought this BEAUTIFUL little chair on Craig’s List, for SUPER cheap and I want to paint it, I just don’t know what color to go with here are a few of my ‘thoughts’ a limeish green like this one

http://www.justacrushphotography.com/new-photography-chair-prop/

in fact that chair is MY CHAIR… that chair looks exactly like mine except mine is still wood.

Or I thought a nice blue, like the one on my personal blog… the color of the boys' shirts at the very top of the blog

Or white… but with some crackle paint or glazing

Or Red, mostly because I like red

I kind of want it to be UNisex but at the same time I don’t really care, it HAS to be good for boys though.

Any insights you have would be appreciated, Thanks

A Fun Before and After

I think I am a tad obsessed with getting this shot right, and I think I finally have caught it to my satisfaction! Did I tell you girls that I am saving up for a new camera?! I am so bummed about how long it is taking. I have always been good at saving, but with no ‘real’ income coming in it has been SO long and annoying. So if you have any ideas on what I can do, short from selling anything I don’t want to down on the strip I am open for suggestions! ha ha! Love you girlies!

Guilty....

Kash- I apologized I haven't been able to blog on this...life as a teacher doesn't always seem to leave you with alot of free time. Not to worry because School is OUT! Wahoo!! Another year of teaching over and done with! So I have a shoot coming up, a family shoot. Its for a lady at school...its her family, so older kids and then adults. Any suggestions on some fun things to do with them?

Break

I have been dealing with cute, adorable children all day, and when they were sleeping or not paying attention to me I took a few minutes to edit. I have mixed feelings about editing, a part of me wants to be a good enough photographer that I don’t have to edit, but that would require a lot of work AND I probably could never photograph children, can you imagine? ‘Can you wait right there while I put my camera in Black and White?’

‘oh and now wait while I put it back into color’

oh and now wait while I put this filter on my lens to get this effect’

Whereas I can do pretty close to all of those things at the touch of a button.

Everything I have accomplished this far as a photographer I have done pretty much on my own, ‘self taught’. Well through books, internet and such anyway. I signed up for my very fist photography class last week. I am a bit apprehensive. The reason I haven’t taken any classes before now is because I LOVE taking pictures, I LOVE capturing the memories… I worry if there are assignments or I find something too hard (yes I am a wimp) it make take away some of my love for the hobby that I so adore.

Well there are my ramblings about that for the night

this is a super cool website!

All By Myself!

Ok because I am the only one who EVER writes on here I have decided that this is going to become my own personal photography journal! You guys (if you ever visit) are  MORE than welcome to post any time you want!

So I woke up (one of the many times) with Baby K last night and I was going over how frustrated I was over the recent photo shoot I did. The shoot was outside (which always scares me to begin with)and NONE of the pictures were in sharp focus! I have NO idea why. I have the same lens that I used on the shoot two days before that and the pictures were crystal clear! What is with that!? To make me fret even more, I have a shoot tomorrow with actual paying customers and I am fretting big time! I want them to be perfect… even if they are only perfect according to me! I want them to be in focus, crystal clear focus. Up until now the only shoots I have ever done have been for friends or family. If you don’t do a good job for them, they still love you. I don’t know this person so I am fretting a lot!

So ya, there we go, now I feel better because it is all written out!

SHHHHH don’t tell Santa

Ok a package came in the mail on Friday and I didn’t have a clue what it was so I opened it, when I saw what was inside I couldn’t help but take it out and play with one of them for a bit… Don’t tell Santa but I am going to be one happy girl come Christmas morning!

(the soft box, not the speed light flash, I already had that)
