A Snowy First :: 2010

You guys tired of us yet??!  My girls and I, that is. I know, it seems like I’ve been doing nothing but shooting these two…but really, I HAVE! It’s almost as though this blog of mine has turned into the ramblings of our little fam and that’s IT!   I’m still staying up late at night- not AS late, usually in bed by 1a.m. instead of 3. It’s progress, right?  Mainly I’ve been working on weddings…..luckily I have a better system in place for 2010. This year, I’m embarassed to say, I had clients choose their images for editing and it didn’t work out in my favour. Of course orders trickle in slowly, and then…WHAM!  11 orders just in December. That’s about 700 images to edit ( I need to learn batching)! and 11 coffee table albums. I WILL be done all by March. I will. I was saying to Brooke last night that luckily for me, I a excited about editing each and every wedding….some are even from 2008! That’s a definite upside, as there’s not much worse in post-processing than working on something you’re not into. Okay, enough babble for now, just thought I’d send out an update!   Onto the newest post of the girls…..yet again!

The first big dump of 2010, and Eve’s first time playing in the white stuff. I was prepared for the whimpering and her quiet little cries, but I wasn’t prepared for her actual response to the wet stuff. And ohhhhhh, was it wet! Just like the good ol days playing in the West Coast slush. I dressed her up in the coziest things I could find; they weren’t actually waterproof, but it was the best I could do. Let’s be honest….I figured she’d hate it and we’d be inside after 2 minutes. I set her down. Waited. She rolled into crawl mode – and totally face washed herself!  I of course grabbed her by the tail to save her….she did it again. Loved it. I clicked off what I could, but it was coming down so fast and wet I was worried about the camera….at least I was using the old one:)  

Nevaeh liked it as well, but I think she’s more of a fair weather girl like her Mama…..10 minutes and she was asking for hot chocolate. I’m hoping she’ll like the fluffier snow up at the Mountain better! Tubing and skating…..I’m not ready for her to try boarding for another couple years. Yup, I’m a bit paranoid, what can I say?! 

Thanks for dropping by….hope your New Year is off to a great start!!!

And for any photogs reading this……WHOA! Can I ever tell the difference in the these pics and how much I had to tweak them compared to my other camera. I usually shoot with the Canon 5D Mark 2, and these were with the Canon 30D. Both great cameras, but what a difference! My point – if you’re on the fence about upgrading and can swing it – WELL worth it!!!
