Thirteen on Thursday | Providence Family Photography
1. I had a GREAT time in Philadelphia!!! I hope you have gotten to see the photos I took of the two C. families – if not scroll down a bit and take a look. SO much fun. The ironic thing to me is that I have only ever shot one family that had three children. Both of my Philly sessions were three children as is my session later this afternoon. All of a sudden I am surrounded by sibling sets of three!!
2. As we all know, Halloween is coming up this weekend. Nolan has been very excited for this for a while now. He has insisted on ending every conversation before bed or nap with “Happy Halloween!” I don’t think he *quite* understands that it’s really just a one day thing. He is going to be Bob the Builder this year and just loves his costume. He has already gotten to wear it twice – at our neighborhood’s halloween parade and at school yesterday where they did a very cute parade around the block (okay, so parade is a bit of a strong word, they walked around the school…still..SO cute). Here he is parading (yes he really is that pale poor boy has inherited my complexion):
And Layne and Matt watching him parade. We were lucky enough that Matt is on vacation this week so we all got to go to the parade!
3. I am taking suggestions for my What to Wear next week. Any thoughts on colors, or family members?
4. I have been an editing FIEND these past few days. But I haven’t really had a choice because I have six sessions in seven days this week. So I am already done with the sessions from this past weekend. It’s been a few long, late nights and busy days but worth it to know that two are already done.
5. And yeah, four sessions over the next four days. Eeeek! It’s going to be fun though so I can’t wait. I love shooting and editing!! I was telling my clients this weekend that I couldn’t do this as my job if I didn’t love it as much as I do.
6. I am working on a post about how to recognize good photography for people looking for a photographer for the holidays or just in general. Stay tuned!
7. Have you guys seen the new iMacs that have come out? I want THIS. In 27″ size. Don’t get me wrong I love my MacBookPro laptop but what can I say, I am being greedy in making my list of “things that I’d love to buy someday when I win the lotto.”
8. I just bought this fabulous AmyKathryn Marigold Magenta bag and I can’t wait to get it!! I got it at The Mini Social and with account credits from other people I paid a grand total of $6 (it’s worth $120). 😀 I didn’t used to really be a huge bag person until they were taken away from me with the arrival of children. Gone was the chance to have a cute purse. Instead for the past four and a half years I have been carrying various styles of ugly functional diaper bags. So when the opportunity arises to get something that is cute, stylish AND functional I just cannot pass it up. Especially when it’s on sale and I have a credit. And bonus – I can stick my camera in it! Extra bonus – it’s completely animal-friendly materials!
9. One more shot from this past weekend. I adore everything about this photo…
10. I am thinking seriously about making Philly Sessions a monthly thing. Just one weekend a month with only two or three slots open per weekend to get in sessions. Thinking, thinking, thinking…
11. Holiday cards are finally all set up to see! If you’re interested in looking at my offerings for this year let me know and I will give you the information to view them.
12. Only eight short weeks until Christmas!! If you’re stuck for a present for someone, gift cards for a portrait session make a GREAT present! Whether it’s from me or from a photographer in your area, it’s a wonderful and thoughtful gift.
13. I’m going to VEGAS!! I don’t think I mentioned this yet. I will be attending the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International Conference in early March with a whole bunch of other photographers that I know and a TON that I don’t. I am so excited as so many others have gone and raved about the experience. I can’t wait!
That’s it for this week. Four sessions in four days here I come. I hope you all have a very safe and happy Halloween!!
