Happy Friday!  It seems every time I turn around, it's Friday again! Here are my shots for the last two weeks...


I don't remember all my edits but I'll do my best to write down what I do remember! I have a pad just for my 365 shots & try to remember to write down the actions/edits as I do them. But I forget a lot lol...

We love hand me downs and get a lot from friends.  These will be for Avyree when she's big enough to fit into them...

Our dishwasher stopped working...while it was FULL!  So I had to pull out everything and wash it by hand!  NOT fun but my wonderful husband fixed it and now it's working again...

Decided to play with slow shutter speeds.  I was feeling mellow and calm so I thought the fan & showing the movement of the blades shared how I was feeling...

Haylee had a bunch of change and wanted to buy some apps & songs for her iPod Touch.  So the stinker paid me in pennies...

Taking yearbook pictures in Avyree's glass while they made spider bread.  I used my Gary Fong Cloud diffuser for the first time in class and LOVED it.  It's perfect for yearbook shooting...

Thanks for looking and I hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend and a happy & safe Halloween on Monday!

Bowling fun...

Last Friday night we packed up the kids and headed to the bowling alley.  It was Avyree's first time bowling and she was very excited!  We had a great time and of course Eric won all the games.  But I came close to winning the very first game.  After that...it was all downhill!

The light was bad and the shots are GRAINY (ISO shot on H on my 5D Classic) but I love them for the memories! All were edited with Red Leaf Film Shift Signature 2 Color I slightly adjusted & Red Leaf Film Shift Signature 2 BW I w/Contrast slightly adjusted!

The girls getting ready to bowl...




Some details...




Nugget in awe of the screen with our names on it...




Haylee excited to put our names in all by herself.  Of course she put herself up first...




ACK...attack of Big Foot.  Oh wait...those are MY feet.  It's the shoes...that's my story & I'm sticking to it...




Nugget a bit nervous and not sure what to do...




Unlucky lane 20...we had so many problems with our lane...




Hi pretty...




Daddy helping Avyree...




It may have taken an hour, but it finally made it to the pins...




Ugh...he's good at everything he does.  So annoying...




Nugget's pizza...




Haylee's pizza.  I know...I'm weird but I love to take pictures of food...




Nugget gettin her grub on...




Our friend's son...little Vinny.  He's just the cutest...





Haylee gettin her grub on...





At 7pm they turned off the lights, turned on the disco lights and rocked the music.  I tried taking a picture but it looked like poo so I didn't bother taking more!  We had a great time with great kids, great husband and great friends! 

Thanks for looking & I hope to double up on my 365 on Friday. I've been taking editing jobs for a couple different photographers and have been SUPER busy!  Hope all is well!

Pismo...

The last weekend of September we headed up to Pismo to do some camping!  We haven't been up there since Haylee was 8 months old!  We decided to try out The Beast and see how it towed and did on the sand.  Towed great...not so great on the sand though! Lol!  Between the smooth low profile tires, the inability to air down the inside back tires & the weight...we got stuck and had to be pulled out by a huge F350!  We camped where we were stuck Friday night and got pulled out Saturday morning.  So we didn't go far...but had a wonderful time! 

I'm only loading some here and the rest, if you want to see them, are in my Pismo album.























Thank you for looking!  :)
