Hormonal Horse: Day two



I was bitten by a cranky hormonal pregnant mare yesterday and boy does it hurt, mind you not as much as yesterday but it's still tender. Here is what I look like on Day two.

{Shabby Straps}

I want to share my new find.

I ordered two straps from Shabby Straps and I must tell you I was super pleased! If you want a fun way to add personality to your camera check these straps out. They not only have straps for SLR's but they have wristlets for point-n-shoot cameras too.

I love how professional they look! I will soon be doing a give-a-way with one of these straps as the prize! (keep checking my blog for more details)

Latest Bride


Okay, here's my sad attempt at getting "artsy" at my latest wedding. I wish I could have found a window that didn't have buildings in the background, but we do the best with what we have. These are taken in a train depot roundhouse, so not much to look at.

Post Processing Practice


I read tips on another forum (NoBS Photosucess) on turning a snapshot into a portrait. This is a shot of my niece I took at Christmas I used to practice on. I did add Mama Shan's silk powder to the image, but other than that I followed the directions posted on the forum.

Ashley's Wedding


Here is one of the images I did of the bride at last weekend's wedding. Shot in a DARK auditorium on a rainy day with flash off camera in a 16x16 softbox with assistant holding it (voice activated light stand, as David Hobby would say)

My maternity today





I shot her wedding and I do hope that she will bring her baby to me too.

Sam's Bday party - slideshow style

These are the last pics I have taken this month - yes I will take more but I did it slideshow style and thought I would share here...do you think it will make up for not posting as much?

Never too young!


This is my niece Jennifer. She was invited to dress out with the U12 club team for a local tournament on Saturday. This is a shot I grabbed of her during warm-ups. Do I need to tell you the pass was shanked? She was so funny, before each match when the coach showed the clipboard with the starting lineup, she kept yelling, "Man, my number still isn't on there!" She is so cute!
