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!

Now for some random pictures of mums and gorgeous Clementine:

We have such a nice garden area outside anymore.

Look at this gorgeous face!

A day for every number...

It was such a lovely day today -- fantastic way to start off the first day of September! LaVaughn and I spent a lot of time outdoors today soaking up the sun. You just can't resist days when the temperature is in the upper 70s.

I don't know that I blogged about it, but a produce guy that sits up where I work ended up giving me a lot of free produce last month and the month before. Well he gave us loads of watermelons, one of which sat on the counter for weeks. We knew it had to be mushy inside, so we decided to give it to the chickens. Of course, LaVaughn with her theatrics had to throw it up and burst it on the ground. It made for a nice effect and scattered enough for all the chickens, so really we all win.

Of course, picture taking wouldn't be complete without a cat or two. I got some really adorable pictures of Clementine, but a couple of my love bug, Cersei, as well.

And last, but not least, I took some new pictures of Douglas today. He is just the cutest little thing! Super chubby too, but he's getting all of moms milk, so I didn't really expect anything less. Like always, this will be my last post for the rest of the weekend. Loooong labor day work weekend coming up.

Elephant Rocks or bust...

What a weekend we had! I can't even begin to describe how much fun I had yesterday. Not only did I get to see Elephant Rocks for the first time, watch the season 6 premiere of The Walking Dead, but I did my first official photoshoot yesterday! I didn't get paid or anything, considering they're friends, but it was still an ACTUAL shoot!

I was on cloud 9! Even more so when we got home and actually got to look at the pictures. Some of them are just to die for! I took over 600 and ended up downsizing to 70 that I'll be giving to her. LaVaughn and I then downsized even more for a Facebook preview (and for my photography page). I can't even begin to describe the way it made me feel. Proud, confident, accomplished... Complete.

Elephant Rocks was a blast and such an unbelievably gorgeous place to visit. I still can't believe something so beautiful is so close to us! I want to take my aunt and uncle there next week. Well, LaVaughn and I both do. It would be a lot of fun.

Well, I guess that's all for now. I have LOADS of pictures at the bottom. Lucky for you I downsized from over 400 pictures to 150 -- go me!

Love & Peace
