Day 8

I wanted to try out some different lighting
positions and I always use my daughter
because she always wants to be my model, but today
I talked my son into coming into the studio (:
Large Soft box placed to the left of my son and aimed back towards
me a bit and then a large silver reflector
placed to the left and angled up just a bit.


In photoshop I wanted to pop the eyes so I selected
each eye and then placed the eye
on a layer of its own then changed the blending mode to
linear dodge(add) and then adjusted the opacity to my liking.

My daughter did end up coming down for a shot (:

Day 7

Well with the flu bug hitting our house I haven't been able to keep up on my days ):
One thing I did do was watch a couple of my Photovision dvd's.

Day 4

My weekdays are filled with watching my children do school in
various positions and in various rooms of the house. I have found
him in the closest in my room doing school before (:

How on earth my son can sit like this for most of the school day is beyond me.
My legs would hurt so bad I wouldn't be able to get up..lol
Being homeschooled has lots of advantages, one is that
he loves to sit in front of the heater and do school...
he is currently working on his Math from

Math U See

Day 3

Today the kids seem extra hyper or unattentive in school today and I find myself getting on them to get going and trying to bribe them. I decided to make myself my favorite herbal coffee, teeccino hazelnut, to warm up (:
I love the lightning in this photo it was done having my son hold a flashlight lighting up just the bag of coffee and everything else was natural light.

Day 2

It amazes me the wonders that God has created.
How something so tiny has so much beautiful detail.
I am surrounded by flakes approx 4 months out of the year (:

Day 1

I am going to try and take a picture everyday of at least one thing that represents me...let's see if I can stick to this and find enough things to take pictures of that represent me and my life.

Day 1


One of my many favorite coffee cups that is filled with Cozy Chamomile Tea and my one invaluable tools the WACOM tablet of course this one is small and outdated and I really need a bigger one (:

Christmas Time

The Christmas rush has kept me busy up until this last week and I was able to get all my shopping done and have 2 get togethers with friends for present exchanges.

Rachel received an American Girl doll for her 6th birthday this summer and so for her Christmas Eve present we got her matching PJ's which she has been wanting. I shot a picture of her opening her gift and then played around with backgrounds and such. Here is Miley in her PJ's (:
