new studio

a playroom-furniture-rearranging session that freed up a big wall facing the window

the fact that it's now fall which means it's closer to winter which means snow for a long time which means no pictures outside for a while

a roll or 2 of wide photo background paper sitting around waiting to be played with

I think I keep working on the setup a little. I think I'll pay attention to focusing a little more next time. I think I'll figure out a little extra lighting and a little white balance fix since there is this bright orange roof right outside that big window. I think I still mostly like people in their own spaces or out exploring but I also think I like just letting them shine in a photo with nothing else to look at.

I'll step back and show you the whole setup next time I'm in there.

madly in love

congratulations, beautiful sister! and welcome, artist-fartist.
Max has been helping me look at pictures and has pointed out Ya-ee, Tatie, and Rar-rar-ar (Seth draws the coolest dinosaurs)

guess what I did

I blogged! yep, that's right. bet you thought I forgot how.
my motivation? commit yourself to guest post on someone else's rad blog and not want to look like a loser when you don't get anything together.

don't know rachel but I've read her blog for a long time.
started reading for the cheap mom tricks and stayed around for everything else.
also I like anyone with a Lily.

sneak peek at what you'll get if you simply click the link:

up at 7. what's on the line up?
start on the chores and sweep til the floor's all clean.
polish and wax, do laundry and mop and shine up....

wait, that's not us. up around 8 and I'm not a very consistent housekeeper.

second day of 1st grade for the girl. smoothies for breakfast and pb&j in her lunch tin. I've been firmly instructed to always always include an "iu" note so I do. then get dressed and some bed jumping.
