Chief's Collage

This is what Chief's collage will look like, approximately.

Art of Art...

We have a print of Vermeer's Girl with the Pearl Earring, which our friend Birgit cut into pieces and framed for us for our wedding present. Molly asked me to do something similar with one of Chief's photos. It will be 18 different 5 x 7 photos in separate frames.

Good Doggie!

Such a nice doggie!

Steak?

Chief was a lot of fun to shoot. Molly thinks it looks like I was dangling a steak for him in this photo.

This is Chief. (His full name is Chief Clancy Wiggum.) He is Molly's dog and she asked me to take some photos for her.

Noah in overalls

Julie and Rob brought Noah over for a photo session. I think we got some great pics. Click on the link for more of the session.

Noah's photo session - I hope you like it!

Noah's photo session - I was a busy girl yesterday! Two photo sessions.

Karen's Mosaic

This is a mosaic I made for Karen, all out of images from her wedding. So much fun!!

Close up of Mosaic

Here is a closeup of part of the Mosaic.

Mosaic software!!

This is the coolest thing ever!! I have always wanted to do a photo mosiac - well, I finally looked into it a bit more and found free software that does it! This photo should be familar - it was taken earlier. I used the software to create this mosiac. Each tile is another photo of Bailey and/or Curns. How cool is that!!

Baby steps

Baby feet are so cute!

Daddy & Baby Hands

Noah is such a great subject. I entered this at DPC. Don't let it affect your voting. I appreciate all comments! Now I am wondering if I shouldn't have entered the photo below. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much Rob and Julie for letting me take so many photos!

Family holding hands

This would have been my second choice for the challenge entry. I like the fact that both his mom and dad are in the photo too and he looking up at them.

Posing

He looks like he was posing here!

Noah 1

What a sweetheart! Julie discovered yesterday that he calmed down when he heard the water running in the bathtub. So, these are all taken in their bathroom with him laying on the top of his diaper-changing table. It worked!

Mad Noah

Upset baby here....

Noah 2

Too cute!

Blogger issues

Apparently my blog is one of the ones that has been affected by the filter errors and server problems at Blogspot. The last update:

A clarification about the filer we restored yesterday: This machine is indeed up and functioning again, so the affected blogs are no longer entirely inaccessible. However, it is still not in great shape and we are in the process of moving all the data off of it and on to better machines. So over the next few days there may still be lingering and intermittent problems for some blogs. This includes the "forbidden" errors we're all getting tired of, as well as occasional publishing errors, or incompletely published pages. If you get an error viewing a blog, refreshing the page once or twice should clear it. For publishing problems, simply wait a few minutes and republish, and that should take care of it. Thanks for your patience while we work on clearing all this up.

So, it works sometimes and sometimes doesn't. Check back in a few days. Publishing is getting a bit frustrating. Oh well, can't be helped!

Robert Noah Terrell

Robert the 7th will be called by his middle name, Noah. What a cutie! This photo is from my Treo. I added the dry brush filter in PS. I'm going to take family/baby photos for Rob and Julie and am very excited about it!

Beaters II

Kitchen utensils make interesting subjects, I think.

Egg and Beaters

Egg

One ingredient for the cookies.

Cookie

The finished product. It really doesn't look as good as they were.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

I love eating raw cookie dough. Yummy.

help!

My blog isn't working!

EDIT: Ok, maybe it is now. I have had 3 reports of people not being able to get into my blog today or yesterday. Keep trying, I guess.

I took a photo of some yummy cookie dough today that I will post tomorrow. Yummy. Maybe tomorrow it will be some cookies. Or maybe some cooking utensils.

Boots

Boots likes hanging out in my studio.

Sgt. Aaron Curns

One of my favorite portraits from this evening. Except I just noticed one thing-- check out his left foot. His boots are locked in his trunk (which won't open at all) so we did the shoot barefoot. Looks like I should have paid more attention to my cropping!

Sgt. Curns II

I should have had the light higher here. But I still like it a lot.

Curns - U.S. Army

I like this one because it identifies him just through the uniform.

Aaron & Bailey

Today I put my new studio to good use. Aaron kindly agreed to pose for me - good thing he has a lot of patience as I tried to work with my new lights. :-)

Self-Portrait

Well, I have not posted for about a week. Last week was crazy with work and I have also been trying to set up a portrait studio in my basement. I made backdrops and today we went to Home Depot to create lights. I'll probably post more photos of the whole thing. So, here is my self portrait. This was taken the other day before I had the lights - not too bad!

So, I have failed at my Photo-A-Day attempt, but I am not going to stop trying. I figure all of the ones I did today make up for it. :-) I will continue to try to do the photo a day, and if it is not every day it will be close!
