Yes, it’s the 4th of July and I’m working. Lame, I know. But I did get to go to the mall this morning and shop all the good sales!
I had so much fun shooting Miss Brittany in my studio. She brought lots of fun clothes and accessories. I love it when I get to go through clothes! We got some great pictures girl, hope you like them!
Woohoo! Not much longer before this ridiculous boot comes off! I call it my Darthvader boot, because it so looks like part of a Star Wars costume. I’ll have to have Jay get a picture of it before we part ways (talking about the boot, not Jay taking off!).
I got to shoot this lovely senior outdoors awhile ago, and then she came over a few weeks ago for some studio shots. It wasn’t long after the broken foot fiasco, so Jay had to help me shoot these. He was a great helper and a pretty good photographer!
July is booked up and August is getting there quickly, so if you’re planning to get your senior session done before school starts, ya better call quickly!
Prom dresses can be so much fun, bring yours along for some fun memories!
I have given new meaning to the term “shop ’till ya drop”. I was leaving the mall this week, and managed to take quite a tumble in the parking lot. As I was going down, I heard a slight crack, and knew it wasn’t going to be good. I stumbled to the car, somehow loaded up Holden, the stroller, and all the bags, and like an idiot, started to drive home, convincing myself it wasn’t that bad. After the pain settled in and the hallucinations began (kidding), I tried calling Jay to meet me at the hospital. Of course it was the one day he wasn’t glued to his cell. He was enjoying the Byron Nelson golf tournament, where they confiscate your phone upon entering. Thank goodness for family nearby, or I would have been out of luck!
I finally made it to the ER, where I was miserably informed that I had indeed fractured my fifth metatarsal. The long skinny bone that goes from your pinky toe up your foot. And my favorite part was hearing that I had to go straight home and stay off of it until until I saw the doctor next week. WHAT?! Off of it? Uhhh, I don’t really have the time for this, was my reply! He didn’t seem to care. So yes, I am sitting here on the couch, in the exact same spot I’ve been in since we got home on thurs. afternoon. My rear has left a permanent indention in the cushion, that I’m sure will grow larger and larger, the longer I sit here. I have sessions left unedited, poor clients that had sessions scheduled for this weekend, and worst of all, I am missing the Nordstrom half-yearly sale! All those cute shoes, just waiting for me….
So to those of you that have had to either re-schedule or scramble to find another photographer, I am SO sorry! I hope my referrals were able to help you. And those of you that are patiently waiting for your images to get edited, they will be done soon. Thank you for waiting!
Needless to say, I will be out of commission the next couple of weeks. I’ll still be answering e-mails, calls, and scheduling (and re-scheduling) sessions. So call me, e-mail me, I’m already bored!
I’ll leave you with a quick peek of a senior session. We did the majority of the session outdoors, and then he came over to be the first official client in my new studio! We got some great images and he was SO fun to work with! These are the first few I’ve gotten to, and am so anxious to get back to working on the rest! Hope you like, and I promise they will be done before graduation! Haha!
Do you ever make a “to-do” list and add a few things on there that you’ve already done just so you can mark them off and make yourself feel good about getting stuff on “your list” done? Yeah, I figured it was just me that did that….
I confess, I’m a chronic list maker. My family would tell you that I’m super organized and a little over-the-top about having everything in it’s “spot” and getting things done in a timely manner. They think I’m just way organized and on top of things, but truth be told, I’m quite the opposite! My brain is all over the place all day long. The reason I’m so “organized” is that I have to be! Otherwise, my brain would never be able to remember where I’d laid my cell phone down last. I call my husband as least twice a week asking him to call my phone so I can remember where I laid it. Let’s see, this week I found it in a shoe in my closet and the silverware drawer in the kitchen. Yeah, don’t ask me how they got there. You will rarely catch me without a “to-do” list or something important written on my hand. I HAVE to be super organized or my life would fall apart since I’m not naturally that way. Anyways, just finished my list for tomorrow and make a new blog post was on there. That’s one marked off!
I had the most fun with this beautiful soon to be senior girl this afternoon. She’s adorable and has the best personality. We set off to get some urban ballerina shots, but found this little hide-away in the roses and had to stop. I think I like it the best! The post-proccesing is a bit different for me, but I think it gives it a magical feel.
