Playing Around

I've been playing around with editing some more. I feel like the more I learn the more I realize I don't know and just HOW much there is to learn LOL

Tea Anyone?

This weekend I went out and took some photo's for my friend and neighbor. She is blessed to have three beautiful girls. We found some nice tall grass and set up a little tea party. These girls were so much fun to take pictures of.






Here is Cassidy. She was so relaxed in front of the camera.





Here we have little miss diva! Carly will be celebrating her third birthday latter this month.





This is Claire who has the best expressions!


I couldn't resist taking a photo of these tiny hands. I just love them.


I kind of have a thing for feet too! The boots were just too cute.

Info & Tid Bits

Requests to take photo's have started coming in and I thought I would take a minute to provide some info.

First of all yes I am available to do photo's. The first question that everyone wants to know is how much do I charge. It seems that I often choose a rather unconventional way of doing things and my pricing scheme for photography seems to be following suit.

I have chosen at this point in time to not have any set prices. I am asking people to pay me what they can afford and or what they feel the photo's are worth to them. In addition I am also encouraging people to pay me in non-monetary ways. The possibilities here are endless and unique to each person. I will say though that I'm not a coffee drinker and really don't care for alcohol :) If someone is more comfortable writing me a cheque I am not going to say no.

For a photo shoot I will give you 2 hours of my time. I am still brainstorming the best way for you to view the photo's. You may choose 10 images that I will edit and put on a cd for you to print yourself.

Why am I doing it this way? It's kind of a long answer! The really short version is that it is a personal conviction of mine. I may not do it forever. It may only be for a time. But right now this is what I feel I should do. I am much more interested in God's economy and His way of doing things don't always make sense.

I also thought that I would put it out there that my absolute passion and what I would really love to do is birth photography. I have my first birth booked for March. I am very excited about this. If there are any pregnant Mamma's who would like their birth to be photographed speak up!!!!!!!

I am baby stepping my way into this passion and have much to learn! I am so thrilled that I have the opportunity to do something that I love and feel so incredibly blessed. God is good!

Oh Me Oh My!

This afternoon I went out to run some errands without the kids. When I walked in the house and placed my bag on the counter I saw this. Any guesses as to what it is?





As my eyes continued to look I saw this next to it.





At this point I gasped, covered my mouth and let out a rather loud, "Nooooooo!!!!!!" Then looked at Rod and said, "What happened?" Rod informed me that Kaidan decided to make Kennedy's hair look pretty. He thought that her hair was hanging in her eyes so he took care of it! Ummm........... YIKES! Did you see those scissors? Kaidan is 3 years old and Kennedy is 22 months old! Ey ya ya ya! Nobody got hurt and you know what? He did a pretty decent job. I don't actually think anyone would really notice except me whose job it is as a mother to know every little inch of my children's hair. My Mom has been on me for months to cut her hair. No worries Mom......... Kaidan took care of it.

Not too bad eh? Looks like I might have a little hair dresser on my hands but he will have to wait a good long while before he has the opportunity again!

Lollipop, lollipop, oh la la lollipop!

Remember back in June my wonderful children gave me the best present ever? I cashed it on a beautiful August morning and we headed to Old Clayburn Village Store. I had a really hard time deciding which ones to post and as you can see I wasn't too succesfull in narrowing it down LOL.
