Mya had a busy week

She had her very first dentist appt. on Monday and she was so brave. I was so proud of her. Now she keeps asking Mommy why she doesnt have to go. I don't have any real answers for her because I am not going to tell her I am deathly afraid of them.
The dentist came walking in after she had them polished and cleaned and said "oh Mom has a camera" Why is that a shock? Of course MOm had a camera, it is her first appt I want to document that. Is that wrong? I used to be to scared to take pictures. I always was afraid of what someone would think of me, but Now I think I am over that. Anyway here is a pic of my brave girl.
Then today she had her 4 year well check up. Poor pumpkin had to get 5 shots and her arms are so sore. She did so well though and only shed a few quick tears. The PA said she loves when we come to see her because the girls are so well behaved. God that feels good when someone tells ya that. I hear it a lot to. YES I AM BRAGGING. lol! so the girls were rewarded by going to the candy store:) slushies are always good after shots.

nothing much today

just one for tonight. I was playing with my 50 1.8 today to see if I really need the 100 2.8. I cant really decide. My poor baby had a rough day yesterday and now has a black eye :(

Starting to almost feel ready

to get a portfolio. I have been practicing so much lately. I am trying to get images for my portfolio. Some will say I am ready, others I am sure will think I am not. I may do this soon, or I may wait a LONG time yet. LOL. Time will tell I guess. So here is some of my recents :)


I know her skin tones are off, but honestly I kinda dig the way it is.


Went to a stunt show This is Kevin. He is the owner of STARBOYZ. Check them out at www.starboyz.com


my lovely bff of 26 years and her awesome family

(HAD TO MAKE THIS SO SMALL BECAUSE IT ISNT SHOWING IT RIGH ON HERE)

I was trying to get a Self Portrait yesterday. I put the cam up on the tripod and ran back and forth from the couch 72 times. Funny looking I am sure, but at the same time FRUSTRATING!!! SO I decided to make a funny sign and ask for help. That was probaly the most exercise I had in months. Maybe I should commit to the self portrait 365 days in order to get the much needed exercise in!

family collages

Thanks to some awesome ladies on my message boards for offering these wonderful templates free. My friend Amber was here visiting recently and I fixed up this collage for her using these wonderful templates. These are just the rough drafts, but I am really pleased with them. Here are some of the photos from our recent shoot.

Fireworks

I have been so awful with keeping up with my blog.
We went to see some fireworks tonight and I wanted to practice shooting them. They are OK, but not great.

THE GIRLS THAT MAKE MY HEART SING

These girls are such blessings! They are what my life is all about. Even the days that they make me want to pull every hair out of my head, I go to bed and think about how lucky I am to be their MOM!

Ahhhh........Time for a bath. YES!

Bill had off work today and I didn't have to take my 10 second shower. I really did take a shower, but I pretended to take a bath for my Water shots. HAHA! I am really hoping that you can't see body parts in a bubble or something. That would be my luck. Don't spend to much time trying to see either. I know you want to try since I just pointed that out. Then just for good measure, I did another drippy shot! Again, Thank you for the comments. They actually make me feel like I am getting somewhere. Maybe I actually can do this for a living sometime :)
