I have to give a big shout out to Mary who left me a comment on my blog after reading it and is not a family member or close friend. Whoooo! Love that I have at least a small outside readership. Since I JUST started this blog I feel like I’m writing to myself sometimes…. Though I’m sure my friends and family are being supportive….anyone can guilt their friends and family into reading….and I love them for that.
Stayed up WAAAAYYYY too late last night (like that’s news) but then did the hour highway drive to Concord today to see my Cameron friends. Sleepy at the wheel — never good. Oliver and I blasted music the whole way to keep me awake — love that he has such an interest in music.
Told Oliver that we were going to Beech Hill Farm today. He said “Why do they call it the “beach” when there’s not water or waves?” Made me laugh.
Did a trial photoshoot with the Cameron Clan to see how that might go. Dirty lens, lighting issues, popcorn and a friend to distract the kids. Despite all, we had a ton of fun. I also thought I did okay with the photos until I started looking at them tonight. I’m glad Becki is a good friend and I can trouble her for a reshoot. Will try to post some of the BAD photos tonight. (edit: posted) Even though the lighting is off and the pictures aren’t great, the kids are still darn cute. I’m TOTALLY biased though as love them both dearly. (Well, all three if you include my son who was not SUPPOSED to be part of the shoot. That’s what you get when you drag your kid along to a shoot.) The first photo I’m posting I think is hysterical and I know Becki will appreciate, so the masses who think I’m horrid for posting the grumpy kid photo…it’s okay.
HERE’s the smile we love in that sweet boy!
Below: I think my favorite photo from the shoot. This little girl is going to be a model — she’s the best subject EVER.
*B A D* photoshop playing below! If someone knows how to blend where two lines meet, PLEASE feel free to comment with a tiplet. I will love your tiplet forever.
Alllllrrrighty then….. So I’m hugely new at this blogging thing. If anyone knows how to post the pictures in a separate place, I’d love to hear how. Will love it just as much (maybe more) than the photoshop tiplet.
Made some progress on the advent calendar last night, but not enough. Wanted to get it finished by Tuesday so I can hang it in the store. Won’t happen — but soon. Here’s a teaser photo. I still need to do pricing.
So I’m off to do the lunchbox notes for the week, the directions for my Charmingly Sweet Class (full! YAHOO!), edit the photos (I’m hoping I can fix the lighting issues and maybe the dirty lens bit — I’m not so good with Photoshop — I really just need to take good photos to begin with. Well, practice makes perfect, eh?) So, off to kick it to the short night and get all I can out of it….off and running!
