Brownie Xmas


My Aunt and her husband have been Browns Season Pass Holders to the Dawg Pound for, well, forever. How can you resist taking a crack at a holiday card like this one? If you aren't into Santa Hats, there's always the less adulterated version below.


If you like it Linda there is some final tweaking I'll do like clearing out the background of your photo from under Denny, but this is what it would look like for the most part unless you have any suggestions/preferences or wording changes. I know it wasn't what you necessarily had in mind and it's not what I was originally going for either, it just sort of came together this way.

Oooo New Toys


Look upon it with awe. New toys are on their way to my house. Somebody got to stalk a bit of ebay action today and got herself some new toys. Thank you to all of you who contributed donations to the new equipment fund and to my hubby for my birthday present! I know a real white backdrop people, not some sheets over my rickety upended table. Yes your child can now actually stand without me spending hours in photo shop putting white behind their head. Why you could even get in the photo with them, I know we're talking some crazy talk now! And with some basic lights now I hopefully won't have to be a total slave to sunny days to light the photos! And yup, that's a black backdrop too, I know it's getting all fancy now! I do "heart" ebay, got this from a photo equipment supplier for about a third of the market price, woot! Oh and you know I'll be playing with it when it arrives.

Now, what to set my sights on next for the donations equipment fund? Hmmm, so many choices!

Don't Let Me Near Your Blog


Need a new Blog Header? Be careful asking me to do it, especially when I've spent a week in the hospital watching Care Bears 24 hours a day, and the source of my inspiration was an e-card you sent out last year of your family's heads mocked onto dancing elves. Oh and the crayon work, that's all me, 30+ years of skills there people. Or you know, you may want to give me some guidelines, like a "nice" header not an "Elmo's World gone astray" header, or simply: please don't use crayons and paste my family's heads onto your own drawings. Your laughing, you just don't want to admit it. I'll make them another one later, and stop it, I won't just replace the heads, I'll make them an all new one, I promise.

See it on their blog here. Friends let friends make them bizarre headers and actually post it to their blog.

Madison 3 Year Corrections


These two were hard to read the names on, I hope these are a little easier to read guys, let me know.

Price Family Fall 2008















My favorite little godson and his family were nice enough to give me a crack at a holiday card and a family photo shoot. Thanks guys for being my guinea pigs. Sorry this was a bit in coming to the blog for viewing, but then you've seen most of it already.


If you can't tell it was a very sunny cloudless day.

Madison 3 Year Portraits

Madison and I had a lot of fun taking her photos and I think I got some really awesome shots. I tried some new things this shoot, having Madison hold up her age in fingers, some new angles, new editing techniques, and some new tweaks on collages. I'm still not sure about my newest attempt at graphics below where I tried to make it look like Madison had scribbled on the picture, feel free to adore it or hate it, I haven't decided yet.
