First real gig!

So in keeping with my theme this year of trying to be more creative, I'm trying to improve my photography skills. My friend was mentioning that she wanting family pictures, but photographers are so expensive, so I offered to do them for her. I need the practice and she needed a good deal :) You can't get any better than FREE :)

This little guy was ADORABLE! I wish I would of taken more pictures of just him, maybe next time :) I really love taking pics of children...they are so sweet and full of life.






I think they turned out pretty good, and really you can't take a bad picture with such beautiful people to photograph.

Around the house...

There is art everywhere! It is so neat to have original art displayed in my home. Oil painting of Bug, done about 2 years ago... still need to frame it and now The Artist needs to do one of Boo. I am hoping to hang them in their room.
Banana! :) It usually sits on our kitchen table :)

Bookshelf doesn't have many books on it... mostly sculptures and board games.
This piece is one of my favorites. We used to keep our blankets in that corner, but when I saw this sitting in the garage I found a new home for the wubbies and moved this one in. The Artist explained this sculpture a little bit to me. Basically it has a few ancient symbols in it (the stone and steel) and it is representing a watch tower, or sentinel. I like the idea of having a watch tower in my home. This sculpture is also pretty cool, I like the organic materials that The Artist uses...
