A dose of cuteness for your Thursday.

GOOD MORNING!

I've had coffee today so excuse my excitement. As promised I'm here to deliver your dose of my 365 project. These pictures are all of my little bug. When I can't find anything to take pictures of I've always got the cutest girl in all the land to snap a photo or two of.

Here we go:

124/365

Had fun splashing around in grandmas sink on daddy's birthday dinner day. I've always wanted a sink that sits in front of a window. Look at that LIGHT!? Photogs dream right there. For our next house, this will be a requirement. Ahh.....7 more years.....

125/365

Not quite ready for bed yet.

Getting a quick bath after dinner at grandmas house. Again with that light. Drool.

127/365

Our friends left their baby pool at our house after the Derby party so we threw some water in it and Charlie had a ball. She was wearing a bathing suit but decided to go to the bathroom so we got changed and just decided to go nakey. She loved it. 

Here she is contemplating life and other things after a hard day at daycare....

Seriously. This kid is too much. I just can't handle the cuteness.

Hope everyone has an amazing day! I've got a special photoshoot planned tonight that I have to keep under wraps until the 17th! UGH! Surprises are so fun though :-)

Frozen bubbles and steamy rivers.

When I said it was cold yesterday I was lying. It's colder today. Holy CRAP it's cold. It's so cold this morning I froze bubbles. No kidding. Froze. Bubbles.

Proof.

I saw some of my photog friends doing this yesterday so I knew I wanted to try it today. And it worked! I did have to thicken up the bubble solution with some dish soap but once I did I managed to get a few to stick to the table outside. I'm going to try this again later with a little more light. I actually edited this on my iPhone. My 6D has wifi so I transferred the image to my phone from my camera and then put a fun little filter on it in Instagram and posted it that way. I plan on using a bubble image from this morning for my 365 project but I don't think this is the one I'm going to use. I just wanted to post this because it's so cool!

Another fun thing about it being so stupid cold outside is the Ohio River. Currently the water is warmer than the air so this creates a foggy steam that floats above the river. I drove down to the Greenwood Boat Docks this morning before work to check it out and captured this.

Pretty cool! And very pretty. Again, I took this with my 6D and sent it to my phone via wifi. Jeez I love technology.

Hope you guys have been enjoying your morning and this Polar Vortex as much as I have! My shooting finger may fall off but it was worth it!

I'll be back later for more fun!

Baby, it's COLD outside.

Hey y'all! Hope everyone is having a great Monday. It is SOOOO cold outside! -2 is way too cold for me. I think I need a vacation somewhere warm very soon!

Today is day 6. And today happens to be a selfie day. I took about two dozen photos today of random things, including what I was cooking for dinner for a recipe blog but I didn't like any of them once I started processing.

Day 6.

I actually have a ton to write about but honestly I'm wore out today. I've started running again so this morning I was up and on the treadmill at 530. Tomorrow I will post a little bit of a mixed blog about running, our weight loss competitions and the whole Louisville Football coaching mess and my thoughts about it.

Hope everyone likes day 6, especially because it's of my face! haha :-)

Don't forget to like my FB page and my blog! I seriously need more followers. I know you guys come check this out from Facebook so just FOLLOW it! Spanks!

Here is another selfie from today. Just for fun.

(I don't do serious well. I prefer to smile :-)

Have a good night! Stay warm!

Hello Teddy.

Good morning friends! Today I had this whole selfie planned outside with my new 85mm and then my crappy camera remote decided to die. I've got wifi on my 6D and the app on my phone but I still haven't figured that whole mess out yet. I guess I better because my remote is a pain in the butt!

So, since I didn't get to do my fun selfie, I decided to take Teddy out to play. My sister in law, Shawn,  is currently in Africa on a Peace Corps mission until 2015 and she is who got Teddy for Charlie for Christmas. Probably because Charlie kept trying to steal her childhood bear, Norton. Also, Teddy is named Teddy for now because Charlie can't talk to name him, and I like the name Teddy, mainly because of our amazing few years with Teddy B. Teddy and Charlie. Good fit. (More on that later). One day, when she's old enough, she'll probably rename him. But for now, he's Teddy.

So anyway I wanted to capture an image that showed awesome bokeh and this does that. I seriously cannot wait until outdoor portrait session weather. This lens is a gem!

Here is Teddy.

Obviously my backyard isn't awesome for portraits but I love this shot and Teddy was a willing participant.

Well, I guess I better go for now. I have to go pick up my little bug from her grandparents house!
