[dreamergirl78]

Wooo Hoooo MULLET head is gone! Just teasing you Lori.
Ella looks adorable. I love the new cut. You are right, it is not worth the daily battle! And it's just hair it will grow.
Hope you had a nice weekend. Thanks for the pic, I uploaded it to my newsletter!

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. I know we did. AND I lost 5 pounds last week. Goooo Tia!
Busy week this week, including jury duty. UGH! But that's ok. Gotta do what you gotta do.

Ok, I need to go get ready. I have to leave soon to go watch my friend's kids and then we have work to do.

Talk to you all later!

When I do my portraits I do shoot in RAW. Otherwise I just do custom white balance and shoot in manual. When shooting in manual I overexpose just a bit to get the bright colors to stand out a bit like they do.

Yes - no more crazy hair !! She likes and I like it and I guess that's all that matters ! Glad you were able to get the picture. Make sure to send me the newsletter - I wanna see it too !!

Hooray on the 5lbs !! It's that time of month for me so I am sure I have gained them for you

Have fun at jury duty this week !

I think I'm going to save up some money for a camera and then fly out to Denver for a photo lesson.

Rebecca -
What kind of camera do you have right now ? Truthfully - it isn't so much the camera as much as it is how you work the camera. Learn to shoot in manual and that makes a huge diffrence.
I have a point and shoot too for when I feel like being lazy and just hitting a button. Sometimes I don't want to have to be "thinking" about my settings all the time !!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Howdy everyone

How goes it?? Been in a craft haze this weekend! haha Just sorting and working and stuff. Seems like everyone has been busy here too!

Nicole, thought of you when i made these:

I had some leftover buttons from the bracelets, so i did these!

Hope you all are having a happy monday!!

Ok, I will. I need to add you to my contact list. For whatever reason the e-mail address I recently added are not showing up. I am hoping I can send it to other contacts as well that I may get throughout the month.
Well after all that medical craziness that happened while in CO, I am now losing that silly weight and I hope to be able to keep up the trend.
Hopefully they will settle before it goes to court. I can call in 10 minutes to find out.

I have a Nikon digital something or other. Totally a point and click.

Timmy -
Your so funny. I took a class but really I am self taught. I learned it all from the internet, reading and just screwing up thousands of really bad pictures !
When outside shade is your very best friend, harsh outdoor lighting is BAD ! Never be afraid to get too close to your subject.
When I took my SIL to California she wasn't used to people taking pictures of her. I told her straight up the day we got on the place : Just to forewarn you - you are going to feel like this camera is up your &^% at all times. Just get used to it"
Many point and shoot cameras now have the option to shoot in manual - try it out after you read up on it.
Also look at people's eye's - anywhere tomorrow at work, in the grocery store, on TV - wherever. See the light in their eyes ? The reflections of their surroundings ? When taking a portrait of a person you want that light in the eye. They are called "catchlights". Otherwise their eyes dont' light up and are dark and dead ?
Did that little mini lesson help at all ?!

I took a class in middle school...like 13 years ago!

Wow, how much do I owe you?

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

we have to plan our vacations ahead of time, so we know what kind of money we want to save and all that jazz Not to mention 09 is our VR year, so we will be pretty much re-doing our wedding/honeymoon again with 3 kids tagging along

Then for next year we have a full plate with my cousin turning 15 in Mexico and the huuuge party that follows, so we knew we were doing that in 08 in July So that left us with little space to squeeze in Disney, so November it is! It's pretty easy for us to plan that far ahead because we only like certain months in THE WORLD, so it limits our vacation time
