Not the first time I've gotten to photograph him and I sure hope it isn't the last. He's so easy to work with and it's great to laugh my way through a session. Even though we were rained out, I think we've definitely got some keepers.
I've only had time so far to proof just one but I couldn't wait to share it... back with more tomorrow.
2 days in a row with NO photos!
I promise I'll have photos to post tomorrow.
I've got a busy few days coming up. This weekend we're having visitors from out of town. My oldest friend just got back into town after being overseas for 3 months. I've tried staying away to give her time to settle in again (she got back on Tuesday) but I can't wait any longer... I'll be banging on her door tomorrow.
For clients - I'll be launching a new promotion for July. It's all about the newborns...
Stay tuned...
For hours.........
And it was heavy snow too!
The worse thing about it - it has been raining for days... so none of it settled :(
Best thing about it - Pacey and Piper saw their first snow!!!
No pics today - in a hurry...
I give up. I was trying to post a newborn slide show for you all. If anyone knows how to do it I'd love some tips. I'm using ProShow Gold if that helps.
So... instead of the slide show, I'll post a storyboard of the gorgeous baby in the slide show. Little Mr W was featured back in May on the blog...
Here's another that makes me laugh.
My kids are the BEST entertainment!
Danny says it makes her look like I've caged her. I think it shows that this girl... this gorgeous, sweet, funny, happy, clever girl... is a rulebreaker. Come on, you HAVE to agree with me, right?
Update on group buy - extended for another 24 hours. {info here}
I didn't think it was. I thought the sun had set out to deliberately thwart any attempt at sunflare.
Today, we started out later then usual. It was purely by accident. I'd meant to start earlier but had a visitor. So, out we go and Jessie and I literally chased the sun to the park down the street. I guess I'd be embarrassed if I was a normal person. But now, I have this...
And of course there's the obligatory B&W conversion...
Don't forget - group buy on all my {Extras} at the moment. Limited time only - don't miss out!
It's Friday night. I love Friday nights now. For the last few weeks we've made homemade pizzas for tea. Well, we buy the base but we do the rest. The whole family stands around the table... grating, chopping... making pizzas. The kids love it. I love it. We pop them in the oven, wait a bit and then voila! Gorgeous, yummy, custom made pizzas. The kids put out a blanket on the loungeroom floor and we eat while we watch the Friday Night Live games on Big Brother. Perfection...

I'm frustrated lately. I'm trying to learn something new and it's just not working for me. I feel like I've been plucked out of my house and placed on a whole 'nother planet. It's just weird. Weird, frustrating and... did I mention frustrating?
...
Report cards came home today. I'm so proud of my kids. They've never ever gotten a bad report card. They've never even gotten a standard report card. Bailey usually scores low in things like communication, group involvement, etc... but always tops the academic and behaviour side. He's had some troubles this year. Jadzia always aces the behaviour side. It amazes me that she can be so different at school then she is at home. She's always just above average with the academics. And of course, it's Piper's first year this year.
Well... Bailey and Jadzia both aced all the academics. Most of their marks were 'High' (the standards were Outstanding, High, Sound, Basic & Limited and then numbers 5 being the best and 1 being not so good) with 4s and 5s. The greatest thing though is that the comments from their teachers were so fabulous. They're both great kids, love getting involved in school activities, behave their butts off (a slight mention of Bailey's earlier issues) and just generally rock! Bailey and Jadzia got Gold Principal Awards on top - Yay kiddos.
Piper's - ha! Made me laugh. She's doing really good academically. No worries there. Her teacher alluded to her being bossy, not sharing well, not listening to instructions, rushing ahead, being dominant. Can you tell she's a middle child? She didn't get the extra award but that's fine too. We're happy with that.

Photography buddies.
I've got to say this. I feel that we're always so quick to jump and whine about the negative things but we often skip over the positive things. If someone has hurt you or done you wrong - it's easy to speak out.
But what about the amazing people? What about the people that affect your life in such a positive way? Do you remember to tell them how much you appreciate them?
I've been so lucky online to meet people that I truly consider to be friends. I've met some in real life and feel honoured to be able to call them my friends.
I'm not so good at the corny stuff. But I have to say that I just don't know what I'd do without Julie. Go check her blog. She's absolutely fantastic. I met her months ago on a photography board and we've since joined other boards. We chat on Hello all the time (she may tell you that she feels stalked at times). When I take a great shot - I want to run and show her. When I've bombed a session - I've got to run and cry on her shoulder. When the kids do something cute, when Danny bugs the crap out of me, when I'm up to 2 in the morning and just want to chat - I run to Julie.
So Julie - thanks for allowing me to stalk you and for being the wonderful, generous, gorgeous person that you are...
I hate hate hate hate HATE getting so far behind on editing my personal photos but I love finding ones that I've forgotten about...
Ren's Grunge Borders V1.9 are available to buy now - details on my Extras & Other Stuff blog.
