Shakey's and good light...

We headed out to go have some pizza for lunch and the light was so beautiful inside which made me very happy. I looked around before we sat down to find the best light and am so happy I did.


All were shot with my Classic 5D & my 35L! All color images were edited with Michelle Kane's Bland to Brilliant at 100% opacity no adjustments made and my free MZ XP Soft at 50-75% opacity no other adjustments made. Some I used MK's Bring on the Bokeh and I used her See things Clearer on all images, inverted mask and painted only on their faces, group opacity 35-50%. All BW's were edited with Lilyblue's Just BW from her new Simple Set! I am SO IN LOVE with that action!

I love the pictures from today so I did less collages and more single images because the light was so beautiful, I wanted to do it justice!

In the truck on our way...


Waiting for our food and just chillin...


Pink Lemonade for the Nugget & Root beer for Haylee...


Our number...


And some details of course...


My beautiful girls...


My wings...


Cheese pizza for Nugget & Pepperoni for Haylee and of course tons of Parmesan Cheese...


My girls are a treat to watch eat..ha...


So we are eating and all of a sudden Avyree looks up and says... "Mommy, that looks like a butt!"! And if anyone knows Avyree, she is VERY loud! I about died but then looked up and it DID look like a butt. Then of course after I stopped laughing I had to take a picture to tell the story...


I love that you can see the soda in the straw. I'm weird like that...


So this is the point in the day where Nugget realizes that "Shakey's" doesn't have actual shakes. Apparently that is why she was so excited to come. She was very sad for a while...



Haylee had pizza & soda, so she was fine that they didn't have shakes...


Haylee cannot eat without getting sauce all over her face! She had no idea it was there either! Like mom like daughter...


They went into the bathroom to apply lipstick. Ya know, a girls' gotta reapply it after eating! Then they had a sweet moment and because they are rare, I snapped quick before it was over. Avyree is getting sick and wasn't feeling all that well! And I've found I like when she's sick because she's much more calm and loving. Is it bad that I admitted that...ha...


So Nugget gets going in Nugget style! I think the lipstick gave her her mojo! I'm not sure what this face is since it looks like she ate something hot or spicy, which she didn't.


I love this one...


Striking a pose...


And she can go from happy to this in a second FLAT! You can see that she's not feeling well because her normally big eyes are droopy. I love this one two...


And this one...makes me so happy...


Oh how I love her and her crazy...


I think this is the best shot I've ever gotten of the two of them. Isn't the light gorgeous! This will be hung up for sure...


And it's time to go and take home yummy left overs...


First day of summer break...over and out!

365 148-161...

Two weeks worth again. Last Friday we headed out to Vegas so I wasn't able to post. I'm in a rut, just not feeling it right now. So they are just...there..lol!

I took pics for a friends son and I couldn't resist his cute little chubber legs...



Nice sunset light...

Nugget at her finest! I'm just glad she used a paper towel and didn't eat it...



Finally getting my hair done. It was almost down to my butt. I cut off at least 8 inches and I LOVE it...



This is what happens when you leave a kid alone with grapes...



Gambling money...


View from our room (Tokina 16-28). Wish we were on the other side though, the view is better...


So something happened in Vegas {that I won't be talking about here lol} so Eric got me this as a joke...


Our mini suite...


Warm weather equals bubbles...



Some macro love..



More macro love with some Bokeh 2 on it to look like a macro Lensbaby...lol...




The girls first class! I brought my 35L and it was just too wide for the room. So tonight I'm bringing my 135L. I think it'll be too long and this is where the 85mm would come in handy only that I don't have it anymore..lol...



Nugget and her BFF Miss L! Aren't they the cutest...


Thanks for looking...hope everyone has had a great two weeks. Today was the last day of school so Haylee is free! Hopefully I'll be shooting & sharing more now that we have lots of time!

4 year checkup...


Almost forgot to take a picture this day so I just snapped Eric painting a rack that he is selling for the Jeep...


Issues with my pulled tooth...now on Antibiotics...


Fridge full of food, checking account empty of money...


Giving my Macro lens some love...


Hope everyone had a great week & hope your weekend is even better!

Slave labor ....

Here at the Ziggy house we have a rule...

You get your bike dirty...you clean it! Luckily for the girls, they LOVE to wash the bikes! I broke the rule though because my bike was dirty too! And it was I who crashed and got it dirty. But it was I, who sat and took pictures while the girls cleaned their quads and MY bike! That's how the mom does it!

{all edited with Simple Three from Lilyblue's Simple Set}

And here we go...

Nugget cleaning her quad in her bathing suit and panties {same day I took the back lighting photos in the front yard hence the dirty rag she was holding}...




Concentration...


Oh my...I simply could.not.resist this shot...


Haylee washing her quad which was DIRTY {as you can see in THIS post}


A girls gotta fix her hair...


Now Avyree is washing half of my bike...


Haylee gets the other half...


Nugget drying her bike and looking for little wet spots...well HI Nugget...


And Haylee's quad all clean! She did a great job...


And that's how we do it at the Ziggy house! Dad sprays the bikes down, the kids clean them and mom takes pictures! :)
