My sister and Claire took a little girls trip up to my parents house this weekend. Joe and I headed over there this morning for brekkie and I (of course) brought my camera along. I'm so glad I did because I can't believe how quickly this little chickie is growing! Every time I see her she has a few new tricks in her bag and is somehow even cuter than before. Just being her silly/beautiful self... Fishy! Hanging with Papa Best buddies. This game is a Claire original: First, you put a pink blankie on your head, then you very cautiously walk around the living room while Mommy tries in vain to prevent you from crashing into things. :-)
Oh my poor blog, how I've neglected thee! Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but in all honesty, there hasn't been much to share. I gave myself the month of January off so I could refresh and relax after the craziness of last summer/fall. My weekends have been spent sleeping in, reading and working on some behind the scenes things for my business; one of which is doing a little research on some lenses and equipment I want to purchase for my 2013 weddings.
There is only one thing about photography I don't like: professional grade lenses and cameras AIN'T CHEAP. I highly recommend renting or borrowing equipment before you spend the big bucks and that's exactly what I did when it comes to the 100mm macro lens I've been lusting after. Tricia lent me hers to play with and boyyyyy oh boy, I might never give it back. This isn't the kind of lens I would have on my camera every day, but it works great for capturing the tiniest details on a wedding day - specifically the rings! Five minutes with my engagement ring and I think it's official: I'm about to get poorer. At some point in the middle of my fall-session madness I remember thinking that I couldn't wait for January. My shooting schedule is always much lighter in the winter months and I have been anticipating a nice relaxing break, complete with quiet weekends, for quite some time. Shocker alert! January is here and I have been literally going through withdrawal. I miss my camera :-( So today I decided to snap some shots of our little puppy boy Gillies in the backyard to celebrate the fact that HOCKEY IS BACKKKK!!!! I hope his namesake team does us proud this year. As Joe put it: The Islanders usually go on a 20-30 game losing spiral sometime around November/December so maybe the shortened season will end up being a good thing. What would a diehard fan be without some blind optimism? LETS GO ISLANDERS! My favorite expression... Proud pup. Guilty of something... The softest ears. The sweetest face. Open the door you guys! Pretty please? Hope ya'll had a great weekend :-)
