January is over !!! I made it a whole month, I can believe it LOL
This was after the bath tonight. I tried to get a picture of Rach and she ran away...naked. She stole Col's tag reader from his room, so I knew she would sit. Check out her black and blue face. She got bumped in the face 2 times this week AND busted her lip. :(

Dear $3.50 boogie sucker...you saved my life.



So, I went to Target today to look for a new blanket for tomorrow. (Triplet shoot EEEEEK)
I found this huge heart shape pillow that I could easily fit 3 babies on. I have my bean bag but I was a little concerned it would be a tight squeeze for a few shots I wanted to do.
I went back and forth if I should buy it. I already spent $ this week on gear and I am trying not to buy anymore props. Being so nervous about tomorrow, I decided to just get it. Well thank God I did !!
When I came home I took a pic to share with my online photog friends. On all of my pics was a little gray dot. I took a billion hoping it was the lens or my flash. It wasnt, I knew it was dust on the sensor. Immediately I freak out because I have this shoot @ 11 am tomorrow. No camera stores around here so I couldn't get a rocket blower or anything(its a little bulb that you squeeze and air comes out, you use it to blow the dust off)
I was about to call the mom and cancel for tomorrow. No clue where that little spot would land so I wasnt sure I could even photoshop it out.
Sean asked if I could just use an infant boogie sucker LOL
I searched some more, and found a thread on ILP that someone had used one before. Off to Walgreens I went, bought one for $3.49. Came home and read in my manual how to clean it. As soon as i flipped the mirror up I could see a little dot, blew some air and it was gone. Could it be???? Put the lens back on ... YIPEEEEEEEEEE all fixed :)

Anyway, here is the pillow - and my dust before I cleaned it.

I practiced OCF for the first time today. I feel like I am on the right track, not there just yet.

This is the little boy I baby sit, yes I know he looks miserable and he is sitting in a pink room LOL. He really was happy :) He is the only one that will sit for me. I was practicing my flash again today. I will master this thing before I die.

My first try at a texture

Yeah we are late on the ZhuZhu craze. I know they were so last year :P
So glad my kids didnt want these for Christmas. I would be pissed if I had to hunt for these and pay as much as I saw them going for on craigslist. LOL
They are cute, but not that cute.
All that being said. They love them. I did crazy glue those balls shut because they kept falling apart.

I came home from the gym and Rach was sitting so nice reading a lift the flap book. My camera was on the kitchen table and I hadn't gotten my 365 for the day....sweet. After I took this pic I went to sit down and read it to her and I saw a bunch of little flaps that she ripped off and put on the other couch. Hahahah <3

Not sure what I was thinking with these settings. He looked cute and I snapped. <3 it anyway
It is rare that I get eye contact from him when I take his pics so this one means a lot :)

I am starting this 365 blog for a few reasons. I need to learn to stick with something, because of my laziness and lack of organization I lost over probably 3,000 pictures last week. I am going to post once picture everyday for a year to see my progress over the next 365 days. I hope you will join me on my new adventure :)

Poor Rachael, she knows what she is in for LOL
