Emilie and I stopped at the old pioneer cemetery on our way to mail packages today. Just a quick 15 minuets to shoot. I’m teaching her some basics, she did great. Later we edited them in Lightroom, which I am liking more and more. I still use photoshop when needed, or wanted, but for basic …

Photo shoot – B
On Friday I did my first non-family photo shoot (counting V as family of course). I was excited and a bit nervous as I hadn’t been to the house in years (they are a family friend) and I was curious if I could just go into a house I wasn’t familiar with and a baby …
Crafty Day + Tree Skirt
Yesterday I had another craft day in the "lower level." It was so fun having people pop in and out from 9-9. Sciarrino brought muffins to start off the day, then Sarah joined us with a couple of her friends from Corvallis, one of them it turned out Sciarrino and I knew from crew (small …

Family Christmas Shoot
On Saturday I got to hang out with my mini BFF, V. Oh my goodness she is loosing baby fat, noooooo…. Seriously she has a ton more sounds, is walking so quick, and has a real giggle. 18 months, sigh I can’t believe it. (I totally over processed this one for fun). You should be …
The Frosting
I didn’t make this up or anything, but per Robin’s request the frosting: In a big bowl put 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar with three large egg whites, then beat until really frothy. I put it all in my kitchen aid and set the sucker on high until it got like that. Slowly add …
That’s the Spirit!
Thank you so much for all your kind words. I just had to do that little vent, need you think that my life is all gumdrops and roses! Here’s another thing that will make a down girl fill much, much better: friends! And lots of candy! Tonight was the annual ex-crew girl ginger-bread house making …
