Finally some decent joey pics...

Finally got some decent pictures of the joeys today! I'm so, so pleased with the way they turned out, makes me feel like I actually know what I'm doing again. I love taking pictures in the glider room or bedroom because we have these huge floor to ceiling windows that let all kinds of natural light through. And we have thin brown curtains with a sheer cream backing that makes for an amazing backdrop.

Hopefully I can stay caught up and take some more pictures next Monday as well...

Clouds, flowers and joeys... Oh my!

It's been such a cloudy and, not really yucky, but odd day. It's just dim outside. I was to say gloomy, but that's not the right word. I was hoping for sunnier weather today, as today is joey picture day, but I made due with what I had. Since the table outside our house is crawling with plants (mainly mums) now, I thought that would be the perfect place to take pictures.

Joey pictures is kind of rough anymore. I'm not used to having 6 joeys to photograph, so getting them all settled while remaining sane is no easy task. It doesn't help that I'm allergic to their nails, so after the second or third joey, my hands turn this very unappealing red color and really make the pictures look awful sometimes. It's because of this that I try and speed through pictures while still trying to capture GOOD pictures.

Well anyways, here's a glimpse into our little photo session today. Hope you enjoy!

We have such a nice garden area outside anymore.

Look at this gorgeous face!

Douglas & Roman

So, the lady that I thought was going to get Douglas IS, in fact, getting him. Yay! What's even more exciting is that she's adopting out other joey, Roman, as well. I love it when our joeys go together. Not to mention, these guys are related. Douglas is Roman's uncle. How cute is that? I've been slowly letting them mingle when I get them out to snuggle with them. So far so good.

Speaking of, I took some new pics of the boys today with the help of LaVaughn. She usually never has anything to do with joey pics, but I somehow didn't even have to ask twice this time. Also, you'll get to see how awesome her nails look. Remember, she got them done Monday?

Well I guess that's all for now, Just wanted to share the excitement -- and pictures!

Here's a preview of Roman's shoot:

And here's a preview of Douglas:

Days gone bye...

Since it's my last day before work, I thought I would post a little update blog, since my last was so grim and depressing. Things still aren't the same without him.

Anyways, not getting into that! I took some pictures of Douglas Monday, which turned out to be quite adorable. He's a chunky little monkey that photographs oh so well. He may be going to live with a lady that was planing on adopting from us several months back. I still have her deposit from the last joey, so I'll just forward that to him if she adopts him. Here are a few pictures of him from that day:

We also got our Once Upon a Time POPS! in the mail Monday. I found the entire set online for just under $40! It was a steal! Little did I know the Captain Hook box was dented, which made them as cheap as they were, but still, it was worth it. I'll end up buying a new one before too long to replace it. Here's what they look like:

Tuesday we welcomed a new addition to our brood. Well technically he's not ours, because we most certainly cannot keep him, but we do have another joey that came OOP then! He's a minimally marked ringtail mosaic from Charli and Tyler and he is just the cutest little thing! We're naming him Roman:

While I was cleaning the car out Tuesday night, I encountered something I haven't encountered since 6th grade -- a praying mantis! I was stoked! Since I didn't want to lose sight of the little guy, I asked LaVaughn to grab the camera for me, which she did. The pictures didn't turn out as great as I wanted them to, but they're still decent. He was quite friendly and didn't fly away until I picked him up and sat him off of the car door. 

Speaking of cleaning the car, what I didn't finish Tuesday, LaVaughn and I finished Wednesday. I'm not talking just wiping everything down, we detailed everything! We wiped it down, cleaned the carpets and mats, vacuumed, cleaned the windows, washed it and even waxed it! It looks amazing! Well, see for yourself:

And as for today there's really not much of anything going on. I took some pictures of Zoe earlier, which I'll share below, but that's about it. I also have a pictures of some mums that I want to share -- took at picture Monday. 

That's all for today!
