Spish Splash! Pool Time!

Yesterday we all sat outside in the driveway we let the boys swim in a small air up pull, while butthead worked on his car(he is attempting to 'restore' a '95 Camaro Z28, he got used, engine blew etc). So while he was getting all dirty, I joined the boys in the 'pool'. They had a blast, I of course took a few pictures of them while they were playing! I only got my youngest as he was splashing on just one side, while my oldest was all over the place.

This little guy was flying around and stopped for a minute or two. I managed to get a few nice pictures of him.

When I get bored I tend to take pictures of myself, lol. Usually with my lovely Iphone but this time I attempted to to 'self portraits' holding the big camera up. I'm always terrified I'm going to drop it lol.

yay!! Well thats me!! Aren't I pretty? hehe.

My family pictures...

As always when I try something new family is generally the first few people I turn too. We finally had a chance to take some much needed family pictures. The last set of pictures we had done was when Xavier(our youngest) was 7months, it was before my husband had deployed. He is now 2 and a half, yes way overdue. When he turned 1yr the 3 of us took some without daddy, I don't count those lol. I'll stop blabbering now...

I took them myself using self timer, lots of time and amazingly everyone looked at the 'flashing light' each time. Besides it be extermely warm yesterday I'm very happy on how they turned out! I will be ordering a canvas sized picture. So I can show it off, so maybe YOU will order one for yourself. I'm very excited! Now just to get some with just hubby and I.

Sneak Peek of K

This evening I had the great opportunity to have a photo session with Kendria. It went went! She photographs so easily, which is always a plus for me. We talked, wondered around thinking of new things we do or try between the two of us lots of creativity! She rocked this amazing dress, if I say so myself! Overall I'd say it was a pretty awesome, minus it being so flipping hot! Here's a sneak peak for you Kendria! I hope you like it!!

My first try at developing film

I've been quite a busy bee lately. First I made a tutu which is for sale, any color custom made to your fitting, with purchase of a session. Which isn't bad if you think about it, my fee is $40 you get me for at least 3 hrs(what a deal), and I capture any image I get. With your $40 purchase you get a free print of your choice up and an 8x10 AND with $10 more you can receive a custom made tutu that you can use during the shoot or not at all! That's great if you break it down.

Anyway, a couple months ago my friend Essy and I went out shooting/scouting together she was teaching me the ways of film photography and I digital to her, it was great! I used her film camera, and she used my digital. It was tons of fun of course! We found this amazingly beautiful spot that looks like it's been just left to 'rot', so we got a little muddy, the car and us to get some amazing pictures there! Which now we'll go back since its dry now.

 Now that we've had the time I got to develop my lovely images that I captured that day, I was quite surprised with how much actually goes into it with film. But it was so worth the process!

Here are a few pictures that I've got printed out :)

The lovely Rachel! This is the place I was talking about...

Thanks Essy for a great experience :) Thanks everyone for reading hehe.

My first tutu

I'm being a nice 'aunty' and making my long time friends niece a tutu for her birthday party this weekend! I'm also making a matching one for her baby doll. She loved the one I had her model for, so it was fitting for her to have her own.

Don't mind my box as a holder, I didn't have anything else to put it on. And I used my car to keep it high so you can see detail! Anyway, I am proud to announce that I will be selling custom made tutus for $10 with a purchase of a session!

Fireworks, yay!!

I really need to get creative with these titles lol.

My first attempt with fireworks! Friday after Dani's session we got invited to see some fireworks with them that a local church was hosting, of course we went! Who doesn't love fireworks!  I'm slightly upset with myself because I didn't use a tripod. Why you ask? Well cause I lost 1 flipping piece to my tripod, that part that holds the camera in place...yep, lost it! I was a bit irate with myself and the tripod lol. But a few of us brainstormed on how to make it work, so these were taken on a roof of a car. Not too bad, if I say so myself! Tonight will be much better as I have a complete tripod hehe.

Sneak Peek for Dani

I hosted my first contest a few weeks ago called Rock the Dress. After a week long voting period very close in voting, Dani won! I had the opportunity to do her session Friday. It was a great time with Dani tons of laughs.
