I have been working feverishly trying to get my website up and running again, and finally requested for it to go live, so hopefully by tomorrow it will be back up! :)

Yesterday I got to do a little session with my nephew! I had to take my kids along, which wasn't fun at all as they were both cranky, and it was SO hot, and there were mosquitoes that size of birds out biting us the whole time! So to say the least it was far from ideal, but I got a few good shots in. :) My brother & sister in law are about to leave for Indonesia for 4 years as missionaries, so the next time they are back, this little guy will almost be 6, and they will have a new little one who will be 4! (yep, hes going to be a big brother come this fall!!!) I am going to miss them all so much!!

I FINALLY got my template from Bludomain!! Yay!! Now I can start putting my new website together!!! It will take a few days, but keep checking back and I will let you guys know when its up!!!!

My new prop!

My website is down for a little bit while I switch templates and my host. It should be back up in a week or so...but it might take longer. Please keep checking back as I will let you know when it is up again!!

I have been revisiting some images in photoshop...and thought I would post some of them. :) So if you see a duplicate from another post, thats why. ;)

My husband got a package a few days ago...and the company was nice enough to send it in a box! (go figure!) It was so very nice of them to send the toy...err...box for my kids! It has given them something to play with for the past week! Its been everything from a bus, to a train, to a laundry basket, to a chew toy, to a car, to a cave! And here...it is a prop. :)

I went to my first Strobist Meetup here in Tulsa yesterday!! I got involved with them in their Flickr group, and got to meet a bunch of them for the first time! I was the only female photographer there, but all the guys were VERY nice and VERY VERY helpful! It was a GREAT learning experience, as I had never done off-camera lighting like that before! It was so helpful to actually put into practice everything that I had been reading and studying! My Speedlite got a work out. :) I got to play with a few different type of triggers, reflectors, umbrellas...and see what I want to get for myself in the future. I also got to use a lens that was absolutely wonderful, which I will never be able to afford. :P

Here are some of the shots that came out pretty good. :)

I just ordered my new camera bag! Its a Kristine bag from Tracy Joy and I can't wait for it to get here!!! She makes the cutest bags! (and not just camera bags, either!!) Plus, the Kristine has a detachable flap, so you can change flaps as you want, and have a whole new look!!! You can get the body of the bag in either brown or black (I got black) and she has a huge amount of fabrics to choose from for your flap! I have been talking to her via email for a couple weeks, and she is such a sweet person! I am so happy to have been able to do business with her!! Check out her website, and her flickr for some shots of her bags in action! :)
