Nothing New…

I went back to Dr. P yesterday since the girly issues seemed to get better and then get worse while I was out of town. Of course, everything was pretty normal yesterday, and he didn’t actually examine me. He did take the time to talk with me though, so that was a good thing.

– I still have fibroids. No shock there.
– Surgery, still scheduled for November 14th.
– He will be doing a laproscotomy at the same time to check on the ovarian cyst.
– After surgery, it is best if I stay on the pill to prevent future fibroids.
– Of course, with blood pressure issues, being on the pill isn’t such a great idea.
– The other option is to have a tubal ligation and then remove my uterine lining. The reason for the tubal is to make sure I never get pregnant after that, because that would cause all sorts of other problems.
– I’m not ready to make that decision. So for now, I’ll stay on the pill.

So now I just wait for surgery in just over a week. I’m looking forward to lots of knitting time in my future.

Another Future Knitter?

Meet Rebekah. Her grandmother is a knitter. But she doesn’t just knit, oh no. She does pretty much every other craft you can think of too! She crocheted the blanket that Rebekah is sleeping on, and she smocked and made her beautiful dress. So amazing!

I love photographing babies – they are just SO sweet! Interested in hiring me to take your child’s newborn photos? I would love to talk! More details at the Newborn photography site.

Honey, I’m Home!

Finally home from the workshop, and let me just say it … it was gooooooooood. I love that feeling of fresh inspiration that you get from things like attending workshops. And to make it even better, guess what? I won the grand prize in the photo contest! Squeeee!

The Problem…

It was decided again last night, when a New Kids On the Block song came on the 80s Sirius radio station, that the problem with today’s music is the lack of keyboards and not enough “wooooooowooooo” types of emphasis in songs. Know what I mean?

Keyboards ROCK. Don’t you think so?

Perspective Change…

As much as I love photographing a whole variety of things, it is days like today when I find myself surprised by my love of photographing people. That may sound strange, but until a year ago, my primary focus was really everything but people. Now? Now I can’t walk through certain places without thinking about how I wish that I had a bride, a couple, a senior, a toddler — whatever — there to photograph. Today while we were out photograping Anna & Jon, as soon as I saw this swirly rock formation outcrop, I HAD to get this photo. This was *exactly* the image I had in my mind, although the curl that fell into her face was an added bonus. The light, the colors, the wall… it all came together into an amazing moment of harmony.

On top of that, I learned a new appreciation for shooting with my 70-200mm lens – the long one that looks like something a sports photographer would use? Yeah, pretty darn sweet for getting up close without getting right on top of the couple. Giving them space to relax while I fire away.

All in all, a good day. I have lots of other photos, but this was THE shot for me for the day. I’m saving the rest to edit later.

It just surprises me every time it happens. I love, love, love photographing people, and I am grateful every day for the support of my family and the opportunity to capture something so special.
