It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..

I saw another blogsite that was called"Parade of Homes" where people showed their houses decorated for Christmas. Heres mine ! Disclaimer: We have a 2 year old, and she likes to "redecorate the tree" every morning...so it looks a little catti-wonkus...

Growing...

I title this post growing for 2 reasons. One is because I am realizing my baby girl is growing and it is such a joy to watch her grow, my other reason for titling this growing is... I am taking this time during the slow season, and going back to old school and for the next 2 months I will shoot nothing but strickly manual. I am going to play with my camera till I am blue in the face so that manual settings become natural for me. For the photo buffs, I usually shoot Aperture priority and let the camera figure out the compensation, but now I will be doing all the figuring, So call it my own little self challenge...this was my first all manual shot...it was fun...I realized while shooting that the light changes all the time and you have to keep on top of your exposure setting....very fun...I feel like I am in school again :) I see the light :)

Thanks Oma!

Thank you to Garrison's Oma for making Grace this fun stocking (the red and white one) Garrison has the sweetest Oma! Now if I could just get my girl to stop doing the cheesy grin (a photojournalists nightmare) we'd be all set.

Christmas Dancin

Christmas Tree

Seth and I rode out to a tree farm with some of our friends and cut down our Christmas tree. It was fun.

Notice the candy canes all in a row, that is Grace's handy work. She likes it that way, when we asked her if she wanted to put them all over the tree she said "no right there is fine". So there they are :) I think she likes then there cause of the easy access :)

New Logo Launch

Thanks to my dear friend Andrea Nelson, of Boven Design Studio I now have a logo! You saw my feeble attempts at trying to make one myself...well dear Andrea offered to help me out! She is the best! Not only is she a great graphic designer (you should check out her website) but she is a dear friend. I miss our Thursday Morning breakfasts in Colorado!

Again if you are in need of a designer, check out her site at www.bovendesign.com she is located in Washington State but can obviously work anywhere around the world via the net. She does marketing tools, books, identities and packaging. Thank you Andrea for you awesome work! You rock!

The coolest thing ever is that I can change the color of the camera and lettering to match the colors in the print....check it out....

Kids Photo Shoot
