Happy National Scrapbook Day! :)

So, how did you spend your NSD? Me? I spent it as far away from my computer as I could get ;) Seriously. I think I am still recovering from our B-Day Bash.. (Which was a HUGE success, THANK YOU!) For the past few days I have been doing every little thing I can to avoid getting on my computer.. Not like me at all ;) Who knows.. Maybe it's spring fever?

Today the girls and I just went outside to play.. We had fun, We bought some balloons just so we could release them into the air.

Of course, I got some cute shots of them first with the balloons ;) And they were really excited to release the balloons up into the heavens.. Until they were actually released...

DOH! I thought it would be COOL! Lorynn did get over the loss of her balloons, after I brought out the bubbles..

So I have decided to take the plunge into Photography..  Not that I am TERRIFIC yet, but I am taking the plunge (what does that mean exactly??) and really focusing on getting better, and learning more about LIGHTING.. Yikes.  I am REALLY excited though, because I have signed up for several photography workshops!! (YIPPIE!!) Yes, this is when it pays to have a very understanding husband that loves Photography even more than I do.. (Is that possible!)


Not sure when it will be exactally, but I would like to start taking on some portrait sessions. (yeah, in my free time ;) I need the practice and I want to start buliding up my portfolio..  SOO.. If you are in the SLC area and you would like to be my guinea pig..  I'd love to hear from you!   I am not doing family or group portraits, for now, I am just focusing on babies and children. I am going to be doing a session with my newest little nephew (hopefully this week!)

Michelle-

I'm a lurker, but I love seeing your beautiful DD's & LO's that you post on your blog!

I had to comment on the Photography venture... I think you would do a great job, your photos are always so pretty!

I would love to possibly have my kiddo's be your guinea pigs! I'm going to be in your area at the beginning of June!

Keep us updated on all the cool photography things you are learing!

I m living in Italy right now, but I am orginally from Orem. Next time I come home, can I have you take my boys picts? By then I should have a new little one as well. That would give kiddie Kandids a break from my walet. =o) You take amazing picts, I think you'll do a wonderful job.

I would die for you to do a shoot with Allura!! Seriously the expressions you capture from your kiddos is so angelic and awesome. I think you're going to make an awesome prof photog :)

Also, any word on the next digi lunch? It's been far too long since we all met up!

Michelle,
Photography is such an addictive hobby, watch out! I will be so devastated if it takes over your scrapbooking time... I love your kits and I constantly stalk your shoppe to see what's new. :) Good luck, though. Your pictures are already so amazing, I can't imagine how good they will be once you really get into it!
