WW - The Coronation

P52- Week 44

Last week was fun and busy as usual. Halloween was terrific. I love watching the kids run from house to house in anticipation and excitement. We ended up having great weather for it too. I shared a few costume shots on Friday, but most of them I took with my D610 and I am unable to process the files until there is a Lightroom update that includes the new camera profile. I hope it's soon!

 I only have the 610 because I had purchased the 600 as a back up camera a couple of months ago after selling my 5000. I was noticing the infamous oil spots on the sensor. So, when I realized I was within the return window (barely) when the 610 came out, I returned the 600 and preordered the 610. I love it, but hate that I can't process the RAWs. Fingers crossed that an update comes quickly! I have another wedding to shoot this weekend.

What did you do last week?

Friday Photo Journal - Week 45

I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! I am utterly exhausted, but we successfully navigated the neighborhood and collect our share of loot....and then some. Here's a peek at our week:

What have you been up to?

Thanks so much for stopping in! Have a super weekend :)

Little Things and Princesses

I took the girls out today for a quick shoot. It has been a while since I have done it.  I had grand ideas, but they were dashed when I saw the "No Trespassing" signs at my intended location.  It was so perfect! There is a corner of an old church in the valley of these two hills, surrounded by trees. It is made of gray stone and has two arched windows. I have passed by many times thinking I would shoot there. I had the girls in their dresses, a candlestick, my off camera flash and umbrella and I was going for a La Sonnambla-esque theme. I was terribly disappointed. But, we took it in stride and ended up behind a shopping center in a small patch of weeds, lol. It was fun, but not what I had envisioned. Still,  I loved a few of the shots I got. I have only had time to process two - the kids are itching to go out and collect all that candy! So, the rest will have to wait for another day. But these, I thought, are fitting for a Halloween post.

Word.Less.Wednesday

Up to my eyeballs in editing today. Wishing I had a few moments to sit and sip a pumpkin spice latte with a friend, or snuggle up on the couch with a movie and my favorite little peeps. 

But there's work. That's all there is today.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great Wednesday :)

P52 - Week 43

Happy Monday all! Here we are heading into November already. Time sure flies when you get old...and busy, lol.  I know I always say that, but I feel like I'm racing against the nano-seconds lately. Trying to cram everything in - work, homeschooling, work, kids activities, doctor visits, work, laundry, more laundry and work. Since one of my session cancelled Saturday, we did manage to purchase and carve pumpkins this weekend. I feel like that was a major accomplishment. I even make pumpkin cookie bars for a Fall treat. I very rarely bake any more - and they were delicious! Thanks Betty Crocker (shhh, don't tell my mother, grandmother, sister or step-mother who make everything perfectly and from scratch!).

I am trying to get into the spirit of fall festivities though, even though I am dreading the cold winter. Oh, I know I shouldn't complain. Thankfully winters here are mild and short, but I hate being cold. And I'm cold when it gets below 75 degrees!

Today I'm sharing a couple of pics I took while waiting for clients Sunday morning. I was back out in Smithfield for another rustic session among the barns. It was a chilly morning, but lovely too. And I never tire of old barns or scraggly, rambling trees.

What did you do last week?
