Just another thing to add on to it....

Mallie burned her hands on Scott and Amy's stove last night. ER, IV of morphine and antibiotics, lots of pain, no bath for a week, she can't use her hands....can she PLEASE get a BREAK?!?!

(I think it's obvious why I didn't do 'light Saturday'...)

Practicing

I set this up in the living room to see if I could create a very dirty-vintage b/w look, and I think with the right model {please excuse the iCarly pajamas} it will look really cool. I have so many ideas for portraits and so few places to take them right now. I'm liking the home studio, though - now more than half of our livable space is used for my design ventures! haha

Playtime

It's still cold up here, so we have to make our own fun inside, which on most days means dressing up and watching movies. Here = both.

Happy Fence Friday!

Ok, Val, so here's another one. 'Fence Fridays' -- group on flickr. Wanna do this for one of our themes?

Other things I've thought of::
Sun spots Saturday (like photos that have a light flare, or any other cool 'light' stuff), Gratitude Sundays (obviously things we are grateful for--from our families to simple things like a special mug, etc.), Totally Texture Tuesday (show off our texture use!), Wordless Wednesday (trying to capture an emotion through photograph), Wacky Thursday (things like the photobooth would fit here...just stuff that is for fun!)....and I think that takes us through the week! LOL....anyway, what do you think? We could do these and then switch them up later, if you want....I think I am going to also create a section here where we can diptych our pictures (like a parallel vision type thing)

Inspired....

...by your photo from earlier! :) Ha, yes, photobooth shots are apparently all the rage nowadays, the last wedding I went to had one and it was pretty cool. I like your idea of using them for family shoots, I bet kids will love this. (I coined it fauxtobooth, ha!) Glad to see you got to have some fun with your girlies too, today!!

Way to much serious stuff

Has been going on in the Elliott household. We needed to let loose a little...so we pretended we were in a photobooth! Fun:-D Definitely doing it again! (In fact Val....I think this will be a good 'add-on' to family sessions and even weddings---)

Wanted: Baby

Dan and I went thrifting yesterday and found this vintage pram- for $25!! I'm planning on using it as a photo prop. What I really wanted was a vintage-y couch or chair of some kind, but I couldn't find one, and this was too good to pass up. Can I use Liam as my model once he learns how to sit up? :)
