Wow, it's been a while. Between my school ending, my daughter's school beginning, my two jobs and life in general, I haven't had much time to spare. I haven't even been playing with my horses or modeling. Hopefully, now that the school year has gotten started, I'll get some extra time to have some fun.

BTW...anybody need their windows washed?

Hi All! Thought I would let you all know that I posted some more pics in my portfolio folder!

This one was really fun!

Ok, so here's an update...
The future in-laws have met and seem to get along ok, graduation weekend went rather smoothly, and I've actually riden my very own motorcyle twice!
darkagetat2's parents gave me an old Honda 250 Rebel that they've had forever so now I have something to learn on.
Thought you might like to see some of the pics from the shoots I've been doing...

This is one of my favorites, it was taken by Michael Fulks...


...and this one was taken by Dale Honning



There are a few more in here.

I also like this one that
darkagetat2 took...


Have you taken a peak at his new profile picture? Guess who took it!!! Me!

2 more weeks till summer!!! Well, at least until the semester is over. It's hard to think that it's almost summer when we've had snow falling the last two days.

I have a bunch of family coming out for graduation. It should be interesting cause it will be the first time that the soon-to-be in-laws will meet. It should be fun though, busy, but fun.

Good luck to all the other graduating seniors out there!!!

So, here I am, sitting at home watching a mare stand in a stall. Every once in a while she'll do something like drink water or walk in circles, but not much exciting...yet. She's a mare that I've been assigned in my Foaling Management class and she's about to have a baby!!! I did 2 hours of foal watch tonight (that's where you go to the barn and watch the mare so that if she foals you can call the appropriate people). Nothing happend, so here I am watching her from home. The last mare foaled at 5:30 in the morning (that's about average) so I'll probably get a call tomorrow morning.

I can't believe it's been over a month since my last update. I've been pretty busy with work, photography, modeling, school, horses and family stuff. Hopefully I'll get some time to do some training with my horse this weekend, he's been bit neglected in the training/riding area the past few weeks. darkagetat2 is going to go see an orthopedic surgeon on Monday about his shoulder. I'm glad that he's gotten into photography 'cause he can't tattoo with his shoulder like it is.

We've been thinking about having some of our friends come over so that we can take pictures of them. Not anything risque, just stuff that will give him some experience working with different people.

I went shopping yesterday for some wedding stuff and came home with loads more than I had expected to. Hobby Lobby is having a half price sale on all of their wedding stuff, ribbon and alot of other stuff, so I got a bunch of stuff with out spending a ton of money. It was great! Now I just have to find somewhere to put it for the next 14 months.

So, we were bidding on this light meter on ebay, and some user (prcnct13) out bid us!!!

OK, so we were out bid imediately after we put our bid in by someone who had their max bid set higher than our bid, but that's beside the point.

I got a new tower for my computer! We're going to use my old one for the girls so that they will quit bothering us to use our compurters to play games and stuff. So, yet again, we're taking my compurer apart. I also got a new desk, so I'm moving the desk that I have into the living room (back where it was 3 weeks ago) so the girls can use it for their new computer. It sucks because it's a corner desk that won't fit through doorways when it's fully assembled.

Lights, Lights, Lights!!! I love the new lights (alright, so there's just one, but it seems like a bunch)!

We went shopping for props yesterday...I think we found the perfect thing! I'll have to post some pics later!

So here's what everybody has been waiting for! I have now posted some of the pics from the set that we shot while working with prcnct13, DanielK and Angeluca!!! I haven't done anything to them except for fixing some of the backgrounds where we caught the edge of the backdrop. Other than that, they're straight out of the camera!

We just returned from NM, I don't think I'll ever get used to that drive. It just goes on and on and on and on and on...
The weekend went well..other than my fiance thinking that he had lost his wallet. We searched everywhere (or so we thought) and finally decided that it must have fallen out of the car when we checked into our hotel. So we called the bank and cancelled the credit cards just incase someone decided to try and use them. The next morning when we were getting dressed, I picked up one of our daughter's shirts that I had set out to iron, and there it was, just sitting there on the dresser. A big relief, but now we still have to wait for our new card.

We get our lights tomorrow!!

Hope you enjoy the picks!

Edited to add: Wow! I didn't realize the pics would be so big! The other ones that I posted were just under 100kb, so that's what I did with these too. They seem kinda hard to look at since you have to scroll to see the whole image.

Well, what did I tell you? Not even an hour after my post yesterday we ordered one of these...

(It's a B800)

...and this...

(a 13' Heavy Duty Light Stand)

...this...

(32"x40")

...a couple of these...

(32" Silver/White Reversible ones)

...and a Hot Shoe, 6 color gels, a clip on shop light and got a rain check for two shop lights with 6' stands.

I just love it when he gets excited about something! No...really...I do...

hmmm...now we just need to find somewhere to put all of it when it gets here....

I love price matching!!! We bought an E-volt 500 about a month ago (price matched from $899 to $793), then Sams club lowered their price to $699, so we went back to the store that we had purchased it from and got 110% of the difference returned! We bought a new camera bag and still got some money back! It totally made my day! Especially since we're getting farther into this photography stuff (now he wants to buy a strobe and a box diffuser!). I'm sure it won't be long before he decides he wants his own studio!
