i am NOT getting sick.

I may have some body aches, and a headache, and maybe a tiny bit of a sore throat but I just flat out refuse to get sick. I'm just gonna keep downing vitamin C (even though my super smart 18 year old said that they learned in health class that doesn't help) and taking ibuprofin and keep refusing to give in.

Today was another really full day between taking almost 40 individual/family pics at my church and then a truely terrible volleyball game w/my league....yeah, all while dealing w/my not being sick. If I do have to get sick (not that I'm going to) tomorrow and tuesday would work for my schedule, but then after that I've got stuff to do.

Last week, one of my nieces brought in her 9mo little boy and we decided, rather than drive out to the studio we'd do some experimenting w/my slave flash here at home. I think they turned out great, but it did kind of remind me of just starting out when I hung a blanket over a door for a background:)


Here's one in my office w/my black couch in the background, check out the cheeks on this kid...so cute!


This is the same way I'm doing the church pics also, and I've got to say that slave flashing is alot easier than hauling around my big alien bee lights. I'm shooting at ISO 160, 6.3, & 160th of a second in a windowless room and the pics are turning out really nice. Great color and exposure. I've also been using a grey card for the first time since we are able to mass edit some of these shots.

Not too shabby!

Friday I had a studio appt for Dillon, who is Duncan's little sister. She was supposed to have her pics taken when Duncan came in however she was sick (not me) and had to reschedule. She was feeling better and full of smiles for me.

check her out!!!

This coming week has no sessions planned. Just some editing, then we're having a few friends over for a taffy pull and then again a Sunday full of individual/family pics, 3 more Sunday's to go.
