picture talk

 

 

As I type this I am also prepping my gear (and my attitude/ideas) for a senior portrait shoot I have later this afternoon.  It’s a "freebie" for my brother’s girlfriend, because I don’t have many senior portraits on my portfolio, and just because she’s practically my sister.   I have no idea yet where we’ll be going to do the portraits; she hasn’t given me any suggestions for what she wants.  If she wants something kind of outdoorsy, then we should be able to stay fairly close to home and/or near my mom’s house. 

I’d LOVE to find someone around this area with some nice old barns and grass fields they would mind me using every now and then.  I know there are plenty of them around, I just can’t seem to get hooked up with owners.  I just love old barns with peeling red paint, and they’re perfect portrait backdrops. 

Don’t know if I talked about this in an earlier entry, but I’m also thinking about doing a portrait session giveaway.  Just something to add to my portfolio and hopefully spread a little word of mouth advertising.   It won’t be identical to the sessions I do now, because I won’t just give away the disc, but I’ll include a few free prints.

 

Lol.  Chloe just handed me her cheese sandwich.  "Mommy, I don’t like shandwiches (yes, she does).  You eat this, okay?"    It’s so funny how she says it.  That kid cracks me up on a daily basis.  I really need to get some new pics taken of both the kids.  I have exactly zero portraits of the kids hanging on my walls (mostly just because I hate my walls), but I need photos of the kids hanging up.

Speaking of photos….I don’t remember if I posted these last year when I took them, but I just recently ordered cheapy Kokak print versions of them for scrapbooking, and I just fell in love with them all over again.  And they’re all SOOC!  I think I may run them through photoshop to fine tune them, and I’d like to order either a set of 8x10s or perhaps a canvas of one of them.

 

 

Isn’t he the cutest thing ever?  I could never get him to sit still for pictures like that now, but this was in the pre-crawling days.  Oh, how I miss those!  Lol.
