Wow - its been a while!

I haven't posted in so long! I have been taking Candice Stringham's portrait class over at Jessica Sprague.com and that has kept me pretty busy lately! We had to post 3 pics for a final portfolio. I had a hard time getting my model to pose for me - she is so darn busy, but I finally got her to do it for me- about 20 minutes before it got dark out no less! Heres my portfolio:


I took them all at Washington Park here in town. I haven't found too many fun places to take pics here but I usually find nice backgrounds at this park. I made her walk past a bunch of ducks to get to the bench where she is sitting - she was not happy about that. She said they were hissing at her when she walked by. LOL My class is now officially over, and I am always so sad when they end! I always really enjoy the classes - especially the message board. There are so many nice people in her classes and they are all so helpful.

This is going to be a busy weekend. My daughter (AKA my model - LOL) turns 20 on Sunday! A friend of hers from college is coming to stay with us for the weekend. She lives in Chicago and is taking the train here. Today her boyfriend, Bruce, picked her up early and took her to Six-Flags to celebrate. They had a great time. They came home and went swimming and now are on their way to pick up Miranda from the train station. Its going to be a noisy weekend at our house! I don't mind though - its so fun when she whe has friends over. Never a dull moment!

Well - its getting late and I need to get one more load of laundry put away before going to bed. Hope you all have a great weekend!
