BACKYARD {with picture}- Selfie Saturday Week 23
6 I was all ready to wimp out this week. I couldn’t get my backyard shot done. I tried, but it just didn’t happen {I blame it on my broken remote that I am yet to replace}
So tonight I was all set to write a post about how I couldn’t make it and how you all should go on and do better for this week’s theme, and I realized that it’s just not gonna cut it. Maybe it’s the overachiever in me speaking, but I just can’t let myself NOT take one.
I think the whole point of Selfie Saturdays is to feel a certain amount of “pressure” to do selfies. I mean, normal photos come easy to us- we don’t need to do our hair, put our make up on, think of a twist, suffer through countless attempts to get...
Universal in Spring
3 As I am going through my 47,000 photos in Lightroom, I keep jumping around from one year to another, depending on my mood. I find it fun actually! In the end, my goal is to edit, and sort all 47,000 photos, so what does it matter if I do this folder today and another tomorrow.
So this weekend, I felt I needed some real beauty in my life. And what’s better than spring in Florida, at Universal Studios to boot. So I went ahead working on those photos. They were taken in March, I believe and some of the brightest photos in my collection. The colors just make me happy and I hope that will translate into some happiness for you.
I’m also working on about 3000 photos of Disney and its parks and resorts that I’ve taken over the...

OUT OF THIS WORLD
This was a selfie I took in Tortola, the most “out of this world” place I’ve been to. It’s so quiet and calm and slow, so untouched and tropical. This was such a nice little island that they didn’t need to introduce traffic lights until 2001. Josiah’s Bay was by far our favorite, with us being the only two people on the whole beach. Needless to say we took a million selfies there. This was one of them. I had this image in my head before we even arrived on the island. I knew about this particular beach from the research I had done and I wanted this exact shot. With so many things that usually go wrong with most plans, it was amazing to actually make it happen.

Light- Selfie Saturday Week 22

Do you guys know how when you need something it’s never there and when you don’t, there seems to be plenty of it?
Well, yesterday I was all set to do the light self-portraits. I had the location in my mind: the family room that gets AMAZING golden light during sunset. I spent the whole day waiting for it, I had make up one, hair done – and sure enough, this was the day when the sunset light was non-existant.
Disappointed, I decided to wake up the next day and do a photo for my baby book on the side of the couch that get streaming morning light through the blinds, that’ll work, I thought. I woke up at 7 am and spent two hours waiting for “the light”- nothing! It was there every morning but not today. So I...

Wordless Wednesday in edits.
12 More photo from Labor Day. The next morning a few more people drove up from central Florida, and we started the full on jumping.
India ( right ) was the most amazing and gracious creative jumper ( comes with her personality)
Sorry for the blur, but I couldn’t not post the poses.
By the evening, we got the table ready with a ton of sushi, blew up some balloons, invited some more friends and neighbors, and India went to town doing our hair.
I got a wig put in It felt sooo weird.
more to come
{I just would like to note that these aren’t the best quality, because this was my first week owning a DSLR. They will get better as I continue editing other years and events. Hope it doesn’t bother you all too much}
