• I had a 3rd session on Sunday morning with a family I just adore. Their elder daughter is just a bit older than Ava, so when we were trying to potty train, I asked for their advice (it worked!). Then when I was there this time, Reagan was into baby dolls…so guess what I bought Ava today? And she *loves* it! Thanks yet again, Shannon!!
• I preordered the new Canon 5D Mark ii last week. The video feature intrigues me. Not sure yet how I’ll use it, but we’ll see. I love my 5D so much, I can’t wait to see how awesome this new model is. Once I have it, my current 5D will be my backup, so I’ll be a 100% Canon shooter (my Nikon D200 will go…somewhere…).
• I tried Truvia this week, to try and kick my Splenda habit. The aftertaste is…blech. So Splenda it is!
• Ava and I went to Crate and Barrel this morning so I could get some stemless wine glasses and this very naughty basket jumped on the counter and insisted I buy it. I’m sorry, but I’m a sucker for a great basket to photograph kiddos in. The lady working in the store was VERY patient with me and went into the back to bring out 3 baskets so I could lie on the floor and see which was the most even. Heh. I’m just anal that way. I can’t put a 1 year old in a crooked basket!
• Today is the first day of AUTUMN. Yippee! I just love the fall. Growing up in New York, fall meant back to school and cool weather. After 9 years, the south is starting to beat it out of me, but just the thought of fall still makes me happy.
• I’ve been working on my new website (what?!? huh?!?!). I wanted larger images to show off my wonderful clients, and now I have one. I’ll announce when it’s live and ready. It’s been so much fun going through my client sessions pulling images for the galleries. I can’t believe how my babies have grown!!
• The new TV season starts tonight. THANK GOODNESS. I love the Big Bang Theory. Can’t wait!
• I LOVE these pants.
• And these jeans.
• Vic is building us a new kitchen table. I wanted a trestle, so he’s modeling it after this one from Cost Plus World Market:
He’s making the table and bench, and I’m going to buy some distressed black chairs to go with it. Yum!
And finally, since a post is no good without pictures, here are some recent collages and storyboards. Happy Autumn, everyone!
