I wish I had a picture to post tonight, but I am lucky to have any pictures as it is! I just got a new computer and in the process of trying to transfer all my files from my old laptop to this one (a new MacBook BTW!!) I was running into a few glitches. I had actually ‘lost’ my entire iTunes library, but a trip to the new Mac Store Genius Bar solved that and I am forever grateful!
I haven’t taken any pictures in several days and it is driving me crazy, but life is so busy I can’t jump out and shoot pictures at the right times. I have a several shoots coming up – Saturday, Monday and next Saturday for sure with a couple more in the works. That should keep me busy!
I have gotten a lot of good feedback on my website

  • EllaBella Photography
  • I did finally get the music changed and now it sounds beautiful! Just need more pictures to fill it up!

    Geeze I can’t post this without a photo! I will post an older one!

    Not my best work, but I wanted to post a picture of Robb because I miss him! He is out of town this week and I can’t wait till he is home again!

    Well, I took the BIG plunge and started a website to advertise my photography business! It is pretty exciting and a little scary to jump in with both feet like this. I was already contacted by someone through the site and it has been up less than 24 hours! Wow! I can’t wait to see where God leads in all of this!
    I will hopefully be taking some photos for church on Sunday so it will be good to be getting some use of my camera – it has been collecting dust for a few days! If I get some good ones I will be sure to post them. Until then I will post one of my favorites!

    Mike and Francey – I can’t believe it has been a year!

    I have been spending the last couple of days familiarizing myself with my birthday gift! My copy of CS2 came the other day and I am so excited! Which brings me to my 2nd topic…

    I just ordered my business cards! I figured I need something to show that I am ‘out there’. Sweet baby Will is my glorious model! They should arrive later this week!

    I got to meet with Tina Gunn of Gunn Photography (www.gunnphotography.net) here in Omaha today. She has been so generous to offer to help me with getting started in the photography business and growing my skills as a photographer. We had a great time eating lunch and talking at Panera. I totally forgot to take notes and now wish I would have! She invited me to tag along on one of her sessions later this week and I am looking forward to seeing her in action.

    I haven’t had much of an opportunity to take pictures lately, but I did get this one today of Elle with her Daddy!

    Ok, I have to add another one!

    I know I am married to the greatest man in the world!

    Happy Birthday to me!

    September 5, 2006

    Believe me I am not above shameless plugs for attention and since it is my birhday I want everyone to know! I can be invisible the other 364 days of the year!

    Robb was the biggest sweetheart today and let me order Photoshop CS2! I am so excited to get to use all the features that I don’t have in Elements. I am hoping that this will be a valuable tool in my photography (I know it will be). It means so much to me that Robb is so supportive of my love for this and my desire to make it something more than just a hobby. He is proud of me and that is such an amazing feeling.

    I have a couple more photos of Will to share!

    He looks just like his big brother (who loves him!). Actually John loves to give hugs and kisses to his baby brother in a way only 2 year old little boys can! Didn’t get good pictures of that, as we were having to prevent him from loving his brother too much! All I can say is Liv has her hands full (I remember those days!)!
    Will was a sweet model and even gave me the obligatory fountain and blow-out (and I don’t mean whites) as soon as we took the diaper off for nakie pictures.
    **Note to self – get a shower curtain liner to put under drops**

    I am going back on Monday morning to try and get some more photos with better light. These were taken in the evening and the sun was going down quick. I will post more as I get them proofed – I hope you all like them!
