puppy love

Macy Grace loves this puppy. It's a black labrador retriever, just like Jake, and she even says "puppy" and knows it is this puppy that is hers! She's getting attached! Here's a peek into our Saturday morning.











And if you have the great pleasure of knowing Macy Grace in person, you know she does this all the time with alot of her toys and this picture is SO her! And was very excited to finally capture it!







Jeremy's mom buys lil love books from a volume set of animal books and this was the new book that just came that morning.





And she can read!

models

Major backlog here! When I was in California for the Get Tha Funk Out Workshop, we had some models for our photo shoots and here are a couple of them.

okay so my daughter is cute

There, I said it. She is. Don't you agree? We were at volleyball practice - which seriously, Macy LOVES!, and she decided to entertain the huttle with a little game of peek-a-boo. She had her blankie and would pull it up over her head and back down, just like peek-a-boo. She had the entire teams attention and was loving it! I pulled out my phone and caught a little on the video feature, I'll upload it as soon as I figure out how to do that!

She's fabulous!

ETA: I just bluetoothed it, easy as pie!


Happy Friday!!

here she is

We take our cruise in a little over two weeks and it seems to be the theme of our days. I'm stalking air tickets pining for the lowest possible fares! We sat down the other night and looked at excursions and researched things to do and places to avoid. I'm a member over at cruisecritic and I highly recommend checking out their site if you are looking into cruising. Alot of great information over there!

Macy isn't feeling so great. Before I left for California, she had a runny nose and I think it started from allergies. While I was away, she developed a little cough and became congested. I started her on some breathing treatments and thought she was doing better until two nights ago she really started coughing alot through the night. Jeremy has her right now at the dr's so she can get better.

Other Macy Grace news includes she cut her top right tooth over the weekend and the left one is getting close. She actually has done pretty good with this set, her bottom two had her running fever and she hasn't with this top one yet!

I'm trying to come up with a plan for making Macy's baby photo book. I thought I would do the books every 3 months for the first year, but now I'm not sure we'll get that detailed with it. The trouble with studying photography is you become a huge critic of the art. I look at my pictures and although she is my beautiful baby I see all the photographic errors and color casts and decide they aren't good enough to print. I need to just realize that this is not what it's about. It's about capturing the memories of her daily life, whether they are great photographs or not. And I take alot, I'm just not satisified with them because everytime I snap a pic of Macy Grace it isn't perfect lighting, focus, clarity, or white balance. And I'm hard on my work. If it isn't fabulous I don't want anyone seeing it. That isn't good. These are memories of Macy Grace and I want them. Good or bad. So, I may be showing more 'bad' photos over here in the next few weeks.

Fall is in the air and I just LOVE it! I bought some pumpkin spice febreeze the other day and I'm drenching my curtains and couch with it and I love the smell. It's so warm. Yumm-o. And the weather is certainly autumnish too! With a daytime high of 67 it's cool and crisp and I'm enjoying it!

I'm going to try to get back here in a bit to post some recent pics of lil love from the weekend.

I feel so badly that I have neglected my blog lately. I'm just not satisfied with my blog performance right now, and if I were to receive an e-val, I'd be in the RED! Yikes!

The truth is I feel like I'm in a huge transitioning time in my life. I know that I definitely need a photography blog, and I LOVE my personal blog. But what to do? Do I mix them? Keep them separate? I just don't know.

I would love a blogsite, at least for now, but they are alot of work and I'm html illiterate! So, I'm thinking. Looking around. Contemplating. The blog is in dire need of a massage, a makeover.
