A little bit of everything.....

Ya'll all know that I am a SAHM/ photographer. I love what I do, I love my clients, (only had one REALLY bad one). I love all things photography! LOL I read a lot on photography, study my camera a LOT, try new techniques...different stuff. I have "NOT" gone to school for photography at "this" point, but it is something I am seriously considering in the near future.  I am SO not above learning, and I do not CLAIM to know it all. What I have learned is mainly self taught. My clients all know that I am self taught and they do NOT have a problem with it.

I read a LOT of photography blogs. This one has to be my favorite. Take a few minutes and click THIS link and watch the video. I would seriously give my left leg to find a bride willing to do this for me. Granted this is PROBABLY a paid model....but still....

****ETA Patrick from the above website contacted me and that is NOT a paid model. She is indeed a bride who was married a week before, her husband is a photographer, and invited a bunch of his friends over to help shoot the session. VERY NICE! Thanks Patrick for clearing that up...NEVER ASSUME GUYS!! LOL****

I have seen hundreds of these videos, but this one just gives me chill bumps. EVERY TIME I LOOK AT IT! Talk about inspiring.

Here is their website.  Just awesome work.

Moving on......

Thanks to Tawnya who sent this very special gift to little Miss Kayla! She loves it!

Here is a little sneaky sneaky of my Anthro Inspired Capelet. LOL, Erica said it looks like a "Jaelyn sized sweater...I had to try it on and show her it does fit me lol.

And a little sneaky sneaky of Flair.... I have a very busy weekend, so I'm HOPING that I can get a pic in my garments so you guys can see the true fit...MONDAY...cross your fingers and toes! lol

Ya'll remember Asia? Click her name, she used to be so little!!!

See her kitty "bling"? lol

She see ya'll looking at her! LOL Yes, she posed for the camera lol

Kids made pizza last weekend....let's thank the Mr. Tony for the pics...lol

Aj is SUPPOSED to be putting the cheese ON the pizza not in his mouth...lol

They put SO much cheese on the pizza lol....it was good though lol

What else...ummm

My fabric for my Vogue coat came last week, or the week before lol and yes it is THAT red. Isn't it Ann!? LOL

I also got my fabric from Fashionista Fabrics. It's SO beautiful. Already cut out...lol just waiting on my new machine, but more on that when it gets here! YAY!! lol

Ok, that's it. Ya'll ready to throw it back? LOL

Toodles!

[Stacey_CrimsonPurl]

That is so a model! LOL Loved the video and she had like a team of photographers around her! How unnerving!! Yikes!

Okay I am going to GET YOU for teasing us!
Where is AJ our photographer!?! LOL

Dang! Asia did get big!

Loves the fabric!

[Michelle]

Atee...me tearing up! That video is phenomenal! I tear actually welled up...that is my exact wedding dress! It brought up some beautiful memories of my special day! She is definitely a model!

AJ is funny...eating the cheese out of the bag while the girls are doing all the work...LOL!!! Classic!

As far as Flair is concerned...two words..Dead Wrong! LOL

Nice Fabric!!!

[robin]

Kayla - America's Next Top Model 2017? She is a beautiful girl (like her mama.) Love the fabric pictures. That is the perfect red. Asia is gorgeous! Love her kitty bling.

[dana]

Love the pics of kids making pizza, well atleast Jaelyn and Kayla are making pizza. LOL

[Dawn Bibbs]

Wow, what a cool video of the "bride". My mouth dropped open when I saw her in the water...as if a wedding dress isn't heavy enough without being WET! :-) Great shots though.

Kayla is such a cutie.

Have a great weekend!

[rhonda]

loved watching that video....so cool!!!!
Asia is getting so BIG!!
and Abbey talked Joe into that exact one the other day!

[yaiAnn]

Wow that video is amazing! You know, if the bride doesn't really care about the dress or isn't worried about getting it ruined, you may be able to do that kind of shoot the next day after the festivities are done (but she'd have to get her hair and make up done all over again). My friend did a shot in at the beach at sunset and they walked into/along the water as well. It helped that they did this after the reception.

[lisa (momy4him)]

i had a lot of catching up to do! you are busy girl! how do you knit and watch tv? don't you have to count, or something? lol
thanks for the photography link!

[Trice]

This thing won't let me put the link in that I want too. However, have you been to the Ross Oscar blog? He is a wonderful photographer.

[Andrea]

Thank you so much for the wedding video link. It was amazing. I'm bookmarking it for the near future. The fabric is gorgeous. I can't wait to see the finished results. As usual, Kayla is looking more beautiful than ever.

[cheryl]

That fabric in the last pic is GORGEOUS!!!!!

I want some pizza!!!!!

[Christina]

Breath taking blog you sent us all to! Photography is an everyday lesson for me. It's so funny I never looked to see if the girl was a model or not, just at the shape,depth and form of the photos. The idea of the images/background captivated me too much.LOL You're right, would love to shoot a process like that, to see it unfold and the emotion....aaaaahhhh sheer bliss. :)

[Carmell]

what a tease!!!

i didn't know you were a SAHM!!! hey! i always wondered how you could stay up all night and still go to work in the morning! now i know. ok i got a nosy question for you... how do you find time to clean and craft??? i can't do it! i'd rather do anything than clean!

[Soo]

The fabric is gorgeous - and that video is amazing amazing amazing. Thanks for pointing it out!

[Zanete]

Ok there is no other word for you other than SUPERWOMAN!! And ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh my goodness what did yall feed the cat?? She has gotten so big so fast!! Can we have some for Amya!?!? :)

[Katie]

You are a domestic empress and I love it! I'll be sure to check out those great links. Thanks!

[Monica]

I think that is one of the reasons I love reading your blog, your a knitter and a photographer. I did the at home course from NY Institute of Photography and I took a couple of classes in college. I had big dreams of being a great Photographer, but alas it just didn't work out. I have my moments, but I've never done weddings just a few portraits of some families I know. I love looking at different photographers websites. Thanks for sending us over there.
I can't wait to see your coat!

[Wanda]

fabric=beautiful
Flair + Capelet= want to see the finished objects, pics please!

[Jeanette]

The photo shoot with the bride was very inspiring. The creativity between the photographers and the bride. She was the perfect subject. And the shots were amazing!!!! Wow!

[erica b.]

How did I miss this today? LOL

[Pam]

OH.MY.GOD! I LOVE that fabric! Love it!

[stephanie]

i want to see the knits! show us soon okay.

as far as the bridal gown, really cool concept. got me to thinking, i wonder if there are some, somewhere available for much, much, much less. maybe at a thrift store or salvation army... you can also find a vintage prom dress... something you wouldn't mind dirty-ing up for art's sake. kwim?

[Patrick Moreau]

Thanks for the link to our blog and all the comments. I just wanted to set the record straight about that clip- it was not a model, she was an actual bride who had been married the week before. Her new husband was a photographer and invited a bunch of friends to come and shoot the trash the dress session together. A bunch of us came along and I was the one to shoot and edit the video. Not too sure why everybody thinks it was a model- but anyways- the whole shoot was very real, and a great fun.

OMG, the video is AWESOME!!!! I'm speechless!!!
Now Adrienne, let me tell you: I LOVE your pictures and I think you should take your career more seriously; go to school for photography if you can because there's nothing like learning about what we really love to do (not that you aren't capable of learning all by yourself but we know it's a totally different environment)! Go for it!!!
What a perfect shade of red you have there!!!

[Tawnya]

AWWW, so glad she likes her little doggie. What did she name her/him?? So cute!!

Now I want some pizza and I also would like some of that fabric!!

[sheila]
