Its Friday

Yeah it is Friday!!!! I am sooo glad the weekend is here. I am thinking about taking my little Connor Man to the zoo this weekend. This is the only weekend for the next month that I will have free because I have photo shoots lined up. I am thinking about just spending it with my little fella and taking him to have some fun. I am thinking zoo then Chucky Cheese!! ( I LOVE that place)!!!

This was Connor's 1st and last trip to the Zoo!! Look how little he was!! I think it is time to go again!!!

Here are some picts of Connor at Chucky Cheese!!

Ebay

Anyone ever bid on Ebay. Man that site could be bad for me and my husband. You find something you want and you put in what your highest bid will be then you tell yourself I am not going a penny higher BUT the 1st time someone out bids you it just makes you MAD. So what do you do you out bid them. Then before you know your highest bid goes from $60.00 to $95.00 in a split 3 seconds!!! Then there you are HIGHEST BIDDER!! You are soooo excited you only have 1 min. 32 seconds left then someone out bids you with $96.00 so you go to bid again for the last time and what happens???? YOUR INTERNET HAS NO CONNECTION!! What how can this be you have spent so much time making sure you were the highest bidder then there it goes all down the drain because for the ONE and only minute that you need the internet it fails you. My internet has been fine ALL day long but for some reason during that 1 time I need it it is DOWN!! It only stayed down about 2 minutes NO LIE!! and it has worked fine since then. You know God has crazy ways of working things out and not letting us purchase things we do not need. I did not need to spend $95.00 on this one thing and he knew that. Look here I am higgest bidder on the same thing with higgest bid being $26.00!! ONLY 3 hrs and 41 mins left!! Hope I keep the lead!!!

New camera!!!

Well I broke down this weekend and bought a second camera. I bought a Nikon D40. I currently have a Canon but got this Nikon for a good deal and I think I am really really gonna like it. It is a little different than my Canon but I like some of the features of it. I just needed one in case something happened to mine and I think I made a good choice. I have not purchased any lense to go on it yet but that will be my next purchase.

What is your favorite type of camera and lens??

First wedding Scheduled!!!

Yeah I am soooo excited!! I have scheduled my first wedding to photograph in June. I know I will prolly get alot of negative vibes from some photographers but you know everyone has to start somewhere. I have been doing a lot of shooting and reading and practicing here lately trying to learn all the ends and outs of everything. Some professionals say that I need to 2nd shoot and be doing it for a long time before I do my fist wedding by myself. I live in a very very SMALL town and people around here just can not afford nor will they pay $1000 or more to have their wedding photographed. Now don't get me wrong some will but for the most part people around here just will not. Instead they will get a family member or a friend to shoot their wedding. Well I am not a professional but I happen to have just a little bit more experience than Uncle Bubba does so what is the problem for me to help them out and give them some good photos and also in return they help me out and give me the practice. The wedding I will be shooting will be a small wedding at a small church. I have a friend that has also been doing some photography work and wants to go and 2nd shoot with me. I think between the two of us we will be able to get some good shots.
My husband's mother would always play a song titled " Aint nobody going to break my stride" before she passed away when she was down and out. Tina I am going to borrow your song and sing it to the top of my lungs!! AINT NOTBODY GONNA BREAK MY STRIDE!!!!!! I am going to have confidence and continue with what I believe I can do!!!!

For any new photographers GO for it!!! If any of my little knowledge will help I will sure offer it up to you. I believe we can ALL help each other!!!
