Okay first of all, I’m having a giveaway over on my review blog courtesy of BlogHer and Olay, so if you like relaxing with a nice yogurt mask like Miss Dee, you should CLICK THROUGH and enter to win a $100 Spa Finder Gift Card.
And now? Some nice photos of life around our house, as we implement our photo tips courtesy of Ryan and Rachel, who took me under their very talented wings and rescue-911′d my terrible self-portraits in their Alt Summit session. — Except I haven’t had time to take any outfit shots and show off my new skills. So instead, here are some random life shots, to show them that I really did soak in some of the stuff they were saying about lighting and f stops and things of that nature. [That top shot doesn't count because it is a blurry iPhone photo, but c'mon, yogurt face.]
{Yes, I did go to film school. Whatever.}
I’m pretty sure Scott grabbed this shot of Dee relaxing. The girl will lie down anywhere.
Sophie The Dog. That’s her official full name on her tags.
Because when we got her there was also a Sophie the Bar,
and Sophie the Girl that she needed to be differentiated from.
Crap, I can’t believe my pup is nine already. And wait, is it blurry?
There’s Madden, laying claim to things that don’t belong to her, as per uge.
I just love this shot.
I love your life.
And your little girl.
And your dogs.
And well, you. Of course.
Thank you. I can not tell you how simultaneously heart swelling and mind blowing that is to hear.
siiiiigh, i adore your family.
Puppies, deedee, diaper butt AND a retro phone?!?! omgah, you know the way to a girl’s heart. Can’t wait to meet the rest of your little fam in person (and see your house), btdubs.
*Love* the shot of Dee on the carpet. And? Is that a Boon high chair in the shot with Sophie the Dog? Jealous!
::blushes:: yes…it was a shower gift from my MIL and SIL. I REALLY inappropriately wanted it.
Love, love these photos – and the various cameos by Curious George.
Are you using a bounce flash?
No flash. Just a lot of conveniently placed ambient lighting.
she is just too freakin cute. I really need to get my camera out more often.
so I saw your kinda working with olay, and you got the magic brush thingy.. I need to invest in some kick ass eye cream. im 22 going on 30, and the less artificial chemicals the better.. can u recommend any?
Haha – I don’t know about chemical free, but hemorrhoid cream under the eyes does wonders.
