The Night of The Pumpkin Muffins!

Last night I got a craving for pumpkin muffins BIG time. So I pulled out the white cake mix from the cupboard, made it as directed, then added one cup pumpkin puree and one tablespoon pumpkin pie spice. I filled the tins and baked like normal, and I have to say, they turned out awesome! I was very pleased. :D

Just have to share :D

So I have a friend that does photography as well and she is really really good! I just discovered her blog and thought I would share a preview with you all. This is a screen shot of her blog and a picture she took of your beautiful daughter. If you have not checked her out yet, DO! She is great!

I just thought I would post a few more from last weekends shoot :D I really love them all!

Flat Tire/Gassner Kids

So I'm on my way out to my good friend Liz's to do some pictures of her adorable children and right as I turn onto the Blodgette/Summet HWY I here this thump,thump,thump. So I pull over and sure enough I had a blown tire. So I call Liz and about 20 min later her and her hubby Rik show up to save the day. So what do I do while I am waiting? Why I grab my camera and start snapping shots :D
Here is my blown out tire.

Bummer Right!

But on the plus side, the scenery was fantastic!

Well once we got that fixed and the little toy wheel on my van. I drove like a grandma out to their house and snagged some shots of their kiddos. Here is a teaser of what I have done :D

Been a long time/Olsen Family

So I have been in a funk lately and really haven't been doing much photography. But I got the chance to do a shoot with the Olsen Family (who I shot some time last summer) and it was a blast! They just had a new little man Slayde who was 15 weeks premature! He has had a rough ride so far, but he is 8 months and has little to no lingering health problems!! Yay! Well here is a few shots from last Sunday, hope you enjoy :D

The Olsen Family 2009

Payton and Slayde

The Cochran Family :D

Ok this one is for you Caroline :D Some of these are not actually edited at all. Just straight out of the camera! Crazy I NEVER DO THIS!! Haha :D Any way here is a sneak peek for the Cochran Family :D

Playing around :D

So I have been reading these blogs and such about how to optimize my shooting so that I dont need to spend so much time editing. One of the thing I wanted to try is the crazy blue sky. I learned a few tricks, like lighting and manual focus and such. Way cool stuff! I am so excited to be learning all this stuff!!
