Busy Busy Busy

Yep the title pretty much sums up the next few weeks and probably months for me.

School is winding down and I will graduate on May 16th from the evening program at Ursinus. However, before that happens I need to finish up my two classes which mean lots of homework, and preparing for finals.

I also have a few photo sessions coming up. Next weekend I get to attend the First communion of a coworkers daughter and take pictures of her afterwards. I got to go for her big sister last year so I am excited to get to do her pictures this year. These girls are just adorable.

Then the following weekend I have a couple of appointments in the morning and actually have a free afternoon which I am sure my mom will snatch up if something doesn't get booked. She has lots of yard work she wants me to do....

The following weekend is Graduation and i am so excited for it. My cousins are coming in for it, as is my aunt. My Dad and step mom are making the drive from Maine for it also. My friend Missy also wanted to be part of the festivities so she will be spending a good portion of Saturday with us. (She has no idea what she is getting herself into.) I guess everyone just wants to witness the miracle of me finishing school, finally.

That brings me to Memorial Day weekend and I get to take couple pictures of the Perry's down in Philly on that Saturday before they move on out to Kansas. We are also going to do family pictures of them. Man am I going to miss them.

Plus I will have other sessions I am doing during the week after work. I know of at least one little boy that will be born in May that I will be taking pictures of.

Before I know it June is here and I have a family session the first weekend in June and a wedding to shoot in Florida the last weekend in June, and I will turn 36 some where in the middle there...

Busy is good though, it keeps me out of trouble, well maybe only a little.

Spring Photo Sessions

So I got the chance to do two photo sessions this weekend and I have to admit it made me a little sad.


First I got to Take Emily over to Valley Forge to do some maternity pictures. Isn't she beautiful? You can see more pictures here.






Then I got to take Chelsea and her girls over to Ursinus campus to get some spring pictures of the girls. You can see more of those here.





So why did this make me sad? Some might think it is because I am still single and as much as i want to be a mom I have no kids but actually that isn't it at all. It is because both of these families will be moving in the next bit as their husbands graduate from Dental school. This time of year is always tough as the friends you make over a 4 year period graduate and move on. But I wish them all the best!!

Is 35 to old to Play with Dolls???

Okay I confess I am slightly obsessed with Blythe Dolls. I really want to get one of these dolls, she would be a blast to photograph. Now for any of you old enough to remember the original she was a short lived doll back in 1972 (Her color changing eyes kind of freaked kids out) but she has a new following and has started to be made again in 2001. You read about her history here.

I think she would practically be the perfect subject since I won't have to chase her to get pictures of her. You can buy all sorts of Wigs, hats, clothes,Stockings/Tights and other accessories for her. Of course the dolls themselves are hard to come by especially in the states even with Hasbro owning the rights to her.

Maybe one day I will have one or maybe even 2 of these stylin' dolls in my possession.



You can see more pictures of these unique dolls here.

Spring colds and Easter Don't mix

I managed not to get a cold all winter long. (I had other sickies but no colds). Well the Easter Bunny decided to bring one to me this weekend and man do I feel icky. Hopefully it will run its course quickly.

But to cheer me up I pulled up some pictures of the little Ellie Bunny that I took a couple weeks ago. Can't wait till she comes to visit in May!!
