Day 98-102 ---------------------- Yet another Post

Day 98 - Here is the inside of my camera bag. I have been meaning to do a blog all about my camera bag and the equipment that I have in my bag to travel to all my photo shoots. Something to look forward too!
Day 99 - This is a pretty inspirational picture. This is a shot of the backyard of the house I am living in now after CMP has traveled through the yard cutting branches from the power lines.
DAY 100 - WHAT A GREAT DAY!!! And I didn't even plan our trip to the fair on day 100, but it made for a great photo for today and a great shoot earlier in the blog. Enjoy!
Day 101 - My beautiful girl in the corn field in her parents garden. I love that smile.
Day 102 - I have to share this book with everyone. I am learning so much from it and I think all aspiring photographers, all self-taught photographers and all pros should read this book!

Day 93- 97 ------- I am catching up finally!

Day 93 - This is my hand in phase 10. Had I posted this back on day 93 I might be able to tell you a little more about what happened that day, but at least its posted!!
Day 94 - Here is the family from the recent family shoot that we did, you saw all the photos from this shoot wayyyyyyyyyyy before today!!

Day 95 - Ok so this isn't a spectacular photo, but its kind of neat. Anyway that's me, in the mirror. More importantly you will notice I have changed the logo. I have created one that I actually really like, so you will be seeing everything updated to this logo in the near future.

Day 96 - Aren't these neat? I was buying stamps for the business the other day and I could choose these, so I thought I would add a little whimsy to my mailings.

Day 97 - Here is a view of the back of the house that we are purchasing!! YAY! More to come on that in the next few weeks, and of course I will do a photo tour before and after we paint!

Trip to the Market - Beth's Farm Market

Since we moved to Bucksport, we don't always get the opportunity to go to Beth's Farm Market as much as we use to, BUT every time we are in Union we are sure to stop by. We were in union for the fair on Saturday and during a stop over at the market I was able to get some awesome shots!

Cabbage - I don't eat it, but it sure looked good.
YUM -O I absolutely love fresh green beans with a lot of butter - the taste of summer.
I tried a new layout with my signature today, I think it works with this picture, but I also like the white border too. FYI, I am planning on transition to a new signature, I think I made one that looks great, I just have to figure out how to make it into a signature background.

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE my new macro lens, I am learning more and more every day with it, and that is what I used today for all the shots at the market.
Who can resist a strawberry - heaven!!!
Squish Squash.
Love those strawberries!!
Nice melons huh? LOL - I love the sign that goes with these, everything really is grown right there.

Cukes.
Carrots - good for the eyes ;)
More macro practice - love these, I can't remember what these were.
They had a lot of fresh celery there on Saturday. Awesome shots! Love it.
BUD.

I know I know, I have done two posts and still no P365 post - its coming I promise.

FAIR TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the end of August right through September begins our fair season. Brandi and I try to hit as many of the agricultural fairs as we can in the state. I have to admit when Brandi and I first started dating I was not to keen on the fair scene, but I have to say I am hooked now, and one of my favorite is the Union fair. Here are some pics from our afternoon at the fair.
I spend a lot of time in the chicken isle at the fair, I love the hair on this guy! He reminds me of big bird from sesame street!
Although I will NEVER ride on a Ferris wheel I was very attracted to the Ferris wheel at the fair, I love the shots of the colorful carts and the geometric lines they create!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Germ-x. Enough said.
Pigs are so cute!
Another ride. I don't know what it was - and I will never ride on it. But the colors are great!!
Another chicken - I love the look this one is giving me!
Seriously, I don't know what it was, but they just kept looking at me, and I couldn't help taking a picture of them.

Classic fair symbol!
OMG if you EVER go to a Maine Fair, you need to go to this stand and get the HOMEMADE chicken fingers. Love them, I dream about them all summer.
Brandi's favorites - french fries. I have to admit, I LOVE them too!
Anddddddddddddddd this is where we got the fries!
Don't like cotton candy either, but I like the colors.

Keep watching for the project 365 post, its coming I promise. Plus I have a post from Beth's Farm Stand in Union as well.

It's finally here ---- the family shoot I did this weekend

I finally got the photos edited from the shoot I had this weekend. The family was GREAT to work with, and I am so happy with the results. Hope you enjoy!!
Nani and Kendra - too cute - love the smiles on both! I have to tell you, I was a little worried when we first got started. We got to the location and got out of the truck and Jodi came up to me and said "my baby just fell asleep five minutes ago..." In my experience you don't wake a baby up - Kendra was great though, she slept for like 30 minutes while we did some family shots, then she was up and running and all smiles, what a great baby!!
I have been waiting to do a shot like this for a while, it came out better then I imagined!


AWESOME!!!!

CUTIE!!!
Kendra was VERY active the whole time, she would run and fall and get back up and run again, such a cutie.
She was being a drama queen here!

Sisters - too cute!!

Sorry there hasn't been an update in a while...

I have been meaning to do some Project 365 posts, but things have just been crazy recently. I am also planning on having the post of the family shoot we did this weekend too. I am so happy with how those pictures turned out, I can't wait to show the family. I have a little bit more work to do on them. The biggest headache in my life has been buying the house....ugh. I thought things were moving along pretty good, but things stopped yesterday. I have been wanting to get additional money to put new windows in the house before we moved in, so I have been working on getting an estimate for that. Well the company that I wanted to go with can't get out to the house to give me an estimate until next week, so after telling my real estate agent and my mortgage officer they informed me that waiting that long may delay the closing which isn't good. So I freaked out about that a few times yesterday, then started looking into others that could give me an estimate. So thankfully I was able to give this new company some rough measurements for windows, and they are sending someone out tonight to take a look at the mountings so I should have an estimate tomorrow so my appraiser can can finish the appraisal and they can order the title search....ugh - I can't wait until September 15th!

So I guess long story short, stay tuned for some picture posts in the next few days!
