I love newborns!

Today I got the chance to take some photos of a brand new baby girl. Only 4 days old!!!

I didnt know really what I was doing, but one thing for sure was I was going to make this easy on her. After I positioned her how I wanted, I comforted her until she feel asleep. She really like her pacifier, so I had to sneek it out after she dozed off.

I was excited that the weather was warm outside, so we ventured out. She didnt seem to mind at all:)

Another highlight was I got to use my new fringe blanket that I put together over last week.

Make your own fringe blanket!

So Iv so been wanting one of these:

Only thing is they sell for over $70 on ETSY.
So I decided to make my own. Total cost =$ 13.31, and approx. 3 hrs of my time.

 It was so much easier then I thought it would be too!





The first thing you need to do is find some way to keep all the stands together, I just crocheted a strip.

Here I did the U-loop & pull through method to attatch the long pieces of yarn.

Then just fill it in. Heres mine with just one color.

After two more colors are added....

I want mine really full, So I will most likely be adding 2 more colors. Add about $10 more bucks to the $13 = Less then $25. Much better the $70 :)

the life of a hobo...

been busy.....

Whew I have been a busy bee lately! Between my kiddos, work, and pictures its been a little crazy. But iv been having a blast. Iv done lots of photoshoots! I havent been posting that many on my blog because Iv been putting them on my website. And why hasent anyone ever mentioned how much effort goes into making a website!?!? Iv spent lots of time on it, but its still rough. Hopefully I will have it completed by summer or so.

So here is a few of my favorites Iv done within the last week or so...

Oh! & I got a new camera. It isnt the Canon Markii I so badly want, but it will do until I can save up some more pennies. Its a canon 60d, and I love it. Came with a pretty neat lens too.

A couple of things I have learned in the last couple weeks 1) Bright sun is BAD BAD BAD for photography. 2) Cloudy days make the best pictures. 3) Good photo-editing takes a really long time!

Well, until next time lovies :).....

Another photo shoot at the train station. This was pretty much our only option, as it had been raining for like days prior to the shoot. But beside the weather, everything went great! This was my first couple that I officially didn't personally know.

It's In Their Kiss.....

Needless to say...I had them do kissy-face alot. He didnt seem to mind ;)
