Update…

Short Version: My life has been reduced to 140 character updates via Twitter.

Long Version: We celebrated our 3 year anniversary on Tuesday! Dinner out at Lupe Tortilla’s – we kept it all pretty low key this year. We had a good time though, and the food was delicious. I posted photos on Flickr in honor of the occassion, but didn’t post here. I think that is a first.

I have a sinus infection that has been beating me down. Blech. I’m alternating between tired from it and wired from the meds I’m taking for it. Now on antibiotics, hoping they help FAST since I’m flying to Orlando on Sunday. Leaving the Houston heat to go to the Orlando heat really does not seem like a vacation to me, but the fact that I’m going to a small photographer workshop (Elevate 2) for 3.5 days, followed by a One Light Workshop for one very long day, totally makes up for the weather thing. I still wish it was being held in some place cooler – maybe Maine? Canada? Oh well, part of it will be spent indoors learning anyways – we should be fine during the outdoor times. It is going to be AWESOME to get a chance to work with and learn from some rather big name wedding photographers. I’m truly psyched – although low-key psyched thanks to the sinus crud.

I’m still proofing the wedding from St. Louis. Since I was not the primary photographer, the proofing is all for me – Stephanie, the primary, handled the proofing for the clients. So I’m setting that aside, as I want to wrap up the photos from Jim & Leia’s wedding last weekend in Dallas before I head to Orlando. Elaine & I have both been posting updates to the Fresh Photography blog, so be sure to check it out!

Speaking of Fresh Photography – we will be at the Yale Street Market this Saturday! It is the first summer show with the evening hours, so it starts at 6pm and ends at 10pm. Come on out and see us!

(My life has been a bit photography focused outside of anything family related – can you tell?)

Cooper, in Black & White

Gently Sleeping

I think this just might be my favorite shot from the whole session. Newborn photography makes me just a little bit giddy! (I posted it in color too.)

Lucky Rabbit’s Foot…

Mike & I both agree, this commercial *SERIOUSLY* rivals the Cat Herder commercial, which for many years has been my all time favorite commercial. Matter of fact, I wonder if it was made by the same people. It is so very fabulous! I crack up every single time that I watch it!

Proving, Again, That You Can Buy Anything Online…

Helping Jason prepare for his Biology final exam, we were looking up information on the human enzyme in saliva. One of the first results on the list? A lab where you can buy AMYLASE, alpha Human Salivary.

We process over 500 liters of human saliva a year to produce tens of millions of units of high purity Human Salivary alpha Amylase for research and the clinical diagnostic market. We can provide Human Salivary Amylase enzyme antigen in any buffer required to meet your specific enzyme requirements.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Jason wants to know how they collect those 500 liters of human saliva. Personally, I don’t really want to think about it.

The Big Red Couch…

Big Red Couch

I always knew I would adore Kandis, Julia’s daughter. I mean, first of all, her blog is pink. Then there is the whole Trivial Pursuit thing at the top. (I was always the winner until I met Kymberlie & Mike. I bow to their wisdom of useless crap.) But the second I walked in her door for Cooper’s newborn portrait session, the deal was sealed.

That big red couch is FABULOUS.

As I was taking photographs of Cooper, I looked at the couch. I knew a photo was waiting there for us. Now we can use it for scale in future sessions. She may not even know that I took this one (as the portraits are uploading to her gallery right now), but she has already posted one of him sitting there, and I can see how big he has grown in a month!

I’ll spare you all the duplicate post this time. More on Flickr and over at the Fresh Photography blog later today!
