feb rush?

Usually Feb is known a the slow month for a lot of photographers and has always been pretty low key for me too, only not this year.

I've finished the main directory pics for my church, other than a make up date in May and a few out at our retirement home, they are about done...except for keeping up with the emails/orders. I wasn't counting on how much work that part was going to be.

Yesterday, because my kids were off school and I still try to be a good mom, I took them ice skating. On the way I stopped to see if any orders were in and found a mountain of boxes! I guess I didn't realize how many small orders I had coming in. So when orders come in I usually spend a large part of the next day getting them sorted and in mailers, and addressed, mailed, and setting up pick up times for those on a deadline...get the picture of what I've been doing all day???

The other thing I did yesterday was run over to Horsemeister Farm and take pics of their 2 awesome stud colts...in the rain. We talked about cancelling but decided to give it a try. A grey day, taking pics of black horses, in the rain, I wish the sun would have popped out but we just had to deal with it the best we could. When the subjects are so beautiful I can at least get a few but I can't wait to do a summer session w/these guys. Even though they don't look it, they are actually supposed to be in their "ugly duckling" stage....if this is their ugly stage, I can't wait to see what they end up looking like when they come out of it!
The first weekend in March they will be at the state fair in Springfield, IL and they've hired me to come along to photograph that so that should be fun. These 2 collages were designed to be framed for the stalls.




My older 2 boys are part of a band called high time and are recording some music here at the diningroom table while I'm blogging and I just took a few candids of that...




playing w/the dof a little here...
They actually sound pretty good!

Now I've got to tackle some laundry before making a post office run...Luke is out of socks:)
