day 73

Little girls...

Today I had a photo shoot with a fun family - here's my favorite from the session :) You can see more on my blog Northern VA Photographer

Hope you had a great day!!!

Day 72

Awaking....

Today, it was beautiful, and the world around me is starting to awake...it's really amazing!!

Day 71

Gosh I am so behind - but never fear - I am working my way back.

Finially the website is up, mostly, gotta add some music to the galleries but other than that. Got all my supplies ordered, working on a new thank you card with info about print care ect. YEAH things are going in the right direction! :)

Here's a few that I edited tonight...such a sweet little man! :)

Day 70

Business...

Gosh, today was a day - LOL

1. I changed over the DNS to my website tonight, so hopefully by tomorrow when you head to www.fingerstotoes.com you will be greeted with my new website and blog - got a few little things to fix, and hopefully by tomorrow night they will be done! :) - So I will be 100% paperless for clients, and using a website that's 100% wind powered! WOOT!!! I love being "green" - and the design goes with my new "green" status, in dark browns, olives, tan and dark purples!

2. I bought some packaging - WOOT, I had been basically "winging" it - nicely, but just going searching locally for "things" - bags, ect! Well today, I got folders, clear bags, stickers, raffia, new and new business cards. :) All in my new colors!

I am so excited, I sure hope all this pays off, I have another session booked on Sunday, then have one on the 20th (with a fellow single mom), and 2 in early April! :)

So, I thought I would share my new business card with ya...Tracy from Sugar Lime Designs did an awesome job, on my website (she did all the graphics and I did all the HTML/CSS), business cards, new logo - she did ALL the graphics!

Day 69

Infants...

Gosh I love infants, I miss having one, they grow up to darn fast! But today I got to play with the sweetest little boy, he was just fun! :) I would love some blog love (and will return it) but here's my favorite from the session (So Far) (Oh my business blog is Northern VA Photographer)

Day 68

Meet...

The new "kids" - to my kids that is...our new family of webkinz - Aubrey loves these little guys, she already had 2, which were set to "expire" with in a month, so of course we had to get more, right? (Yep I am a push over!)

So tonight I was practicing with custom white balance and my flash bracket - and these guys were just begging to be photographed!

Meet "Tree" - This one is "Zachary's" he named him and everything!

This is the beautiful "Bee" - Aubrey's

And this is Hopscotch the frog, that she calles "Hop" for short.

Then here's the gang! :)

Day 67

The sky...

I just love the sky, as a kid I remember laying on my back often just looking up, in the dark looking at the stars and during the day at the clouds! It's amazing, and since the kids were not into me taking any of them today - I thought I would share a sky with you.

Day 66

Random...

Today is my father's 61st birthday - we headed out to dinner, I love this place with it's water. ducks and fountains.





The moon was also really beautiful - both before and after dinner.


We also went yesterday to a dress fitting for Aubrey - she's going to be in a fashion show for our local Nordstroms, she's really excited, and the dress is really beautiful though this photo does NOT do it justice, I forgot my flash so I had to use the one attached! EAK!

See I told you this was random - this is the light in their dressing room - I thought it was kinda neat! :)
Little Rylan is also going to be in the show - but the photo I got of him was SOO crazy it was not savable :) But he's got a cute little face!

And one of Zachary - LOL we got to the park at least on Friday night, the rest of the weekend was not exactly what I had thought, hopefully we will ge back there tomorrow before it starts getting cold again :(

Day 65

Fruit...

This is such a unique gift idea. My sister won this one at work, for being an amazing, awesome and wonderful teacher (really she is amazing) - but you can really order them - I should ask her were, but it was beautiful - and yummy too! :)

Day 63/64

Not a photo...

Gosh I have been behind huh? Visiting blogs, posting to mine and even taking photographs! Today I was supposed to have a photo session with a beautiful little boy, but because I woke up with a "pink eye" I cancled to reschedule - I am not sure what's going on with that thing!

I do have a cool shot for you today - and a cool new way to give back as a photographer! Introducing - Turing Lemons Into Lemonade: The Single Parent Project"

Day 62

Still Snowy, and SOOO COLD!

I hope you love these, it's like 30's today with REALLY strong winds, wow it's cold! :)

Spring where are you?

Day 61

Ready For Spring...

Today was a long day full of running around, and shoveling. It started with shoveling, then my dad took Aubrey and I to the eye doctor for her (she has an eye infection), then home to go with a friend to urgent care...so I did not get any shots of the pretty snow - I will try tomorrow though...but for now, I am praying for spring!

Day 60

Snow?

Yep that's right - they are calling for 4-8 inches by morning - the kids already have been called out of school, so here's to hoping that it does not snow TO much! :)

Day 58/59

Been working hard...

Been working hard on the new site - things are moving along - it's looking good if I do say so myself!

Here's a preview since I have not edited photo's in a couple days! :D

My new logo thanks to the awesome Tracy at Sugar Lime Designs!

Day 57

New Site...

Oh what a feeling, I have decided to go "green" with Fingers To Toes, a new web host, that uses 100% solar. A soon to be new "client site" - where clients can see more info, sign there contracts and all online, no more paper work, and to go with that a brand new website with new, richer colors - I am so excited...

So, for today an older photo, of days past - and hopefully soon to come again!!!

Day 56

The sky...

Need I say more...the sky can offer so much inspiration, and all you have to do is look up!

Day 55

Aubrey...

So today I took Aubrey outside to get a few shots - for my blog post over on Northern VA Photographer, I thought I would share with you too...at least one.





Then, when coming inside this plant caught my eye, I loved the lines...

Day 54

Snow...

Yesterday morning we woke up to this...course it quickly turned to rain, but it was pretty! (Though I am READY for SPRING!)

Day 53

Beautiful Girl...

Aubrey is going to be a "flower girl" at a wedding coming up. So, yesterday my sister took her out to get her dress. They found a beautiful dress - so I thought I would show ya.

Not sure what she's doing in the first one, but it was pretty darn cold she just wanted to be "done already".
