Bunch a stuff;-p

2008-06-29T10:43:00.012-04:00

Went for a drive yesterday and ended up at High Point Park. The Lighting was gorgeous and so was the weather. We parked a long side one of the roads on the scenic drive, and jumped out and started shooting. We Only Had Miss Ella With Us so I didn't manage to get any photo's of the kiddos, But I did get some really beautiful Nature-y shots:) Here are a few I managed to edit. (I was up until 2:00am) (: If you'd like to see more from yesterday and Thursday check out my Flickr page.

and of course last but Not least some Photo's of My Babies at the Carnival, I cannot believe they went on the Ferris wheel all by themselves!! uhhh:p

Not a Saver

2008-06-16T18:27:00.004-04:00

More of a spender. I have been thinking of Purchasing an L lens. The Canon 24-70 f/2.8L. It does come with a Hefty price But I REALLY REALLY want this lens. I Just sold my Tamron 28-75 f/2.8. I am going to "Try" and put the money I make towards the Price of the L lens. But I'm already Looking at external flashes and a wacom Tablet. ugh! What to do? I do have a Job offer that I could take and Just use the money from this to buy my lens. I don't Know! Damn you canon and your Beautious Lenses:-)

Some recent Pics with my 85 f/1.8

Weakness

2008-06-03T17:37:00.006-04:00

This afternoon Lil J comes running into my office with his note pad and pencil in his hand. He's screaming mooooommmmm!!! so I answer quickly before he woke up his sleeping not so peacefully sister. He says "Mom what's your weakness" I Paused for a second then answered you are sweetness. He blushed, turned away scribbled something on his Notepad and mumbled Pickles. I later realized That he was Playing super hero and was trying to figure out my weakness so He could defeat me when I try and make him Bath tonight. Just a wild guess but I'm figuring my weakness is..um..pickles..haa

What an imagination this kid has. Eh maybe I'll have a pickle with dinner tonight and see if that freaks him out..haha

Sorry for any spelling mistakes this is a quick post as I have Ella asleep on my lap. She has been real needy today. She hasn't wanted to be put down all day!

Here's a shot of My Little super hero!

Things have been so Hectic around here. I haven't had a moment to stop to catch my breath. I did however manage to make my way to BnH in NYC and Pick Up and new lens. Tamron 28-75 f/2.8. I have to say I love it!. It feels a little weird to have my 85 in the bag though:-).

I have a few sessions in the making and it seems like June may be booked. I'm Not "OFFICIALLY" Starting My business. I'm Portfolio Building. So The sessions are $35.00 and You choose your Prints.

OK I'm off to straighten Up before Big J gets home. I think he may be bringing me home a present (500GB external Hard drive.) But before I go here are a few shots of My Miss Ella Marie:-)

Portfolio..oliooo

2008-05-07T22:59:00.004-04:00

So I'm Portfolio Building. I'm offering free..yup free sessions and the only thing you will have to pay for are the Prints. So with That said Here is a Sneak peek into My First "official" Portfolio Building session.

My sweet chunky Monkey Nephew Noah. He is 5 months old and so very smart. My sister is so very blessed. He has these eyes that I'm sure by the time he's in high school plenty of young Lady's will have taken notice of them. What a cutie he is.

Here are a few Shots from this evenings shoot..Ooh and I got my Tracy Joy Bag and Camera Strap. It was so easy to move around with it. Well worth the money:-)

Last But Not Least My newest addition:)

I'm off for now.

.Walking and Talking

2008-05-07T00:46:00.004-04:00

So I took the Kids over by the lake this Evening. We needed to get out of the house. Plus it was around 6:45pm and You know that's the golden hour-ish and I ate a Flipping Ice Cream Sundae I had No Business eating. So I planned on walking that off.

The kids ran and played for about 15 minutes, then seemed to get bored with the lake, me and all the walking. So I told them to walk a head and think about what could be living in the lake. Imagine anything in the world. So off they went a few feet a head of me. I could tell Gabrielle was telling Jody some kind of outrageous story Just by the way he kept Jumping every other second.

So we walked all they way to the end of the Lake and Turned around. By that time Ella had enough of her car seat and the stroller. She was Hungry and she wanted to eat Pronto. So I hurried the kids along and we made it back to the car in no time. On the way home I asked Jody what he thought might be in the lake. He paused for a minute and said Kid eaters. I waited a second then asked him again. He said Kid eaters they eat kids. I said well what do they look like. He said I don't know mom I'm a kid if they see me they'll eat me.

After I was done swallowing my heart from laughing so hard. I asked him where in the world did he ever hear of such a thing. He said that this dad told him about them. I was convinced that Gabrielle had made them up, but when I asked her she said No Mom I told him their were Giant sharks that would eat him In the water.

So this poor kid thinks their is something out there to eat him..Poor Guy..anyway I'm going to head to bed and Hope to not dream of Adult eaters and Giant Sharks. But before I go here are some Photo's from this evening.

.Blessed.

2008-05-05T01:22:00.001-04:00

Sometimes I get frustrated with Life and Laundry;) and the tons of things that I have to accomplish in one day. So many days I've Plopped down on my bed and thought. Uhh! I still have 2 Loads of Laundry to fold, Gabrielle needs help with her Homework, Ella needs to be changed and Little J wants a snack. Ooh and yeah Mommy needs a shower. Then their are days like yesterday that make me forget about the Laundry, the dishes, the homework. The small things in life that really have no meaning when it comes to Your happiness.

Anyway, I Put Ella down on the floor to play and Gabrielle and Little Jody Immediately flocked to her side to coo and talk with their sweet little voices to her. So I (being the camera whore that I am) Grabbed my camera Threw my 50 on and Grabbed a few shots. Here's Just one for Now. I shot them in RAW and a ACR scares me. So I only had time to edit one.

I can Whole hearted say I am so very Blessed.

Officially

2008-04-30T20:25:00.001-04:00

It's Official! I've decided on a Name ellie.Van {Photography} and I've also decided to start taking a few sessions in May. Mother's day is just around the corner and I know a few Mom's that want Photo's of their gorgeous little bundles taken, and I'm just the gal to do it:). I also have to get on the ball with Taking some shots of My Little ones for My Mother's day Card this year.

So here is where I will be posting previews of the sessions I do, and of course Photo's of My little Beans and a few nature shots here and there. I'm also thinking of doing a Photo a Day. Just to get My camera Out everyday, But we'll see how That Goes. This Blog is Brand new I better not make any Promises I'm not sure I'll be keeping. At least Not Just yet.

I better get go and get the kids in the bed and Ella in the bath and the dinner dishes done, Maybe not in that order. Before I go here are some recent photo's from last week of Miss Ella Marie. I'm working on her Birth announcement.
