This was a wonderful session as it was photographed at the St. Regis Hotel in Atlanta. It’s a world-class hotel with beautiful scenery inside and out. However what really made this special was the couple – my sister’s friends from college and my sister’s first roommate after moving to Atlanta. Congrats you guys and best wishes!
Welcome to my new blog! I determined that importing my old posts caused some issues with the blog template that I’m using. Which means that I had to reformat my blog … again. Enjoy!
My husband has played on two city leagues this year, and I finally decided to take my camera with me to one of the games. Since the sun sets shortly after 6pm now, the light changed on me when the field lights were turned on resulting in a color shift. Hopefully, I removed this with Digital Photo Pro (came with Rebel XTi). I used my 70-200mm f/2.8L lens mostly at 2.8 and 200mm from where I had to stand (hubby wouldn’t let me on the field while carrying Baby Cooper). Enjoy!
I’m pregnant!
Whew, it feels good to finally get to tell everyone! We wanted to wait for a couple of things. First, the 8 week appointment to make sure the pregnancy test was true and that everything was ok (see the 8-week ultrasound below) which it was. Secondly, we wanted to tell our family first (opportunity occured finally last weekend). And third, I wanted to tell my work first so they didn’t hear it second-hand. Now, we’re telling all of our friends. We’re so excited!
I’m currently starting my 12th week of pregnancy and will have my 12 week check-up on Friday. Almost out of the first trimester! I’ve been really blessed to not really have any morning sickness other than the stomach cramping caused by the prenatal vitamins. My only real complaint is the severe fatigue and lack of sleep that I’ve already started getting (or lack there of). I’m just tired all the time. Hence the reason I haven’t been blogging much lately. As you can see from the photo, I’m due March 3, 2009.
And you know what this means, lots of fun designing an ultra cool birth annoucement! Good thing I followed through with the Bellies and Babies seminar that I went to a couple of weeks ago in Nashville! I got loads of great ideas that I now get to implement.
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve taken photos of someone other than my husband and dog, and I thought I’d share a few from the session. Thanks guys for your patience!
Did I mention that I received my new lens? My dear hubby agreed to let me buy my dream lens, the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS. Look like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to you? Well, it looks like, and shoots like, sweetness to me! I had to rush out and try it on my four-legged son as soon as it arrived. Love it, love it!
We were quite fortunate to have the Blue Angels visit Huntsville this past weekend at the Huntsville Airshow. They are truly amazing to watch. It’s hard to believe that there are even any space between planes. Unfortunately, I still don’t have my dream lens (70mm-200mm) so all I had to shoot with was my little 50mm. I was quite pleased with a few of the pictures though. Enjoy!
