SEEEEEYa!

oh ye-ah! oh ye-ah!**trying to rythmically move hips in circles with arms in some sort of deanna dance concoction** Will everyone please bow their heads in a moment of silence as we take a moment to grieve for the death of this little child named Iwantitnowsoi'llputitonthecreditcard. At last we have paid for the tacos of years past, the groceries that no longer exist, the piano that i never played and the clothes we no longer own. One card down, one more to go. The other card is a very sick little child named youmaxedoutyourotheronesoi'llcatchyourslack. And he's sick. very sick. I think he's going to die within this next year. poor soul. doesn't stand a chance. **"dancing" again this time just in circles.........very crooked circles***

We seriously need a kid....

....BUT SHE IS JUST SO DARN CUTE!!! Those EYES!!! Used a yummy new vintage set. Love love love.

Gotta love her!

Just a little photo of our little Poufy!

Something is not right, something is quite wroooong

Can I just say wow? Either I need to practice or my camera settings are quite wroooong! See it's all me but of course it doesn't help that its Phil in the picture either. =) The processing actually didn't take very long but it was such a huge adjustment! I underexpose generally on purpose since an underexposure, especially RAW, tends to be a lot easier to fix than an overexposure with blown out areas. But I had to post this before and after photo because of how much of a difference there is from start to finish. I must say I like this photo. Its a good one of Phil. Only I could make him look this good. lol. J/K!!!

OOOOHHHHH Yeah!!!

I am now a firm believer in Craigslist. Okay I always have been, except for the whole job posting thing--things always fall through in that section. **sigh**, BUT back to the parts that always come through--I saw a posting for a lady who was looking for a Photography Assistant to help her out at weddings (and not an equipment carrying person but an actual second shooter). Which is a fabulous deal for me since I'm not completely set up to walk into the wedding market and keep it debt free so it's going to take me a little longer, but I'm sure once I buy everything in cash it will just work so much better. ;). Anyhow, I got the job! I am going to be second shoot assisting and getting the wedding experience I desperately want. This is who I'll be working with. Check it out~and I'm so excited!!

Because we have no shame

And it was a rainy rainy rainy rainy rainy day...oh, and we discovered that the mac has more effects!

Pooches & Smooches!

Can I just say how much I love my Poufy. Well...except the past two days she has really driven me crazy. She doesn't even do full barks, just these snotty little half bark-grunts. Nevertheless between her and my mom's encouragement I am branching out Urban Rose to do pets. Pooches & Smooches Photography. Isn't that too cute? So excited about the idea that I came up with a logo and everything. Now I'm just working on the site. Now to get clients...got to take a walk around the neighborhood as soon as our Poufers gets out of heat. She's drivin' the men crazy!

Here's a peek at my new logo. I've been at the computer all day and the only good thing about that is I'm too busy to eat too much.

Janua....Oops. February 2, 2009

So where did February show up from!?! Holy Cow. Well school has started officially and I'm getting into the groove. Now I just need to find a job so that I can afford to stay in school right now. So that's what I've been trying to do is raise money to stay--check out some the designs I'm selling. Great for photographers and can be created for the consumer wanting a great card or announcement. If I don't raise my money I'm afraid I'll be out of school for another semester. SJSU is definitely not a charity. =)

On the bright side, I've totally enjoyed having a Facebook account. And making friends has been friends. Totally had to give them a plug. =)

Okay here's todays--bored in front of the mac.



Today I learned: It feels good to give.

January 21-23, 2009

I'm terrible. Almost a week and a half of no pictures. So I made sure to take extra during these times. This last week I celebrated 4 years married to a wonderful Mat. We had a nice time. Got a room, ate out (at a place that I fervently did not want to go to but because I'm such a nice wifey...) and then on Friday went to the Warriors game. Warriors lost by one measley little point. Buzzer beater. I thought Mat was going to cry! lol. Anyhow we took Ben and Phil with us and had a good time. You know now that I think about it I should have adamantly insisted on going to sushi because its what I wanted! lol. Still bitter.

January 21, 2009. My heritage: affects everything I do.


January 22, 2009. Happy Anniversary. See the lamp in my eye?! =)



January 23, 2009. The hotel has the great window that let in all this soft light. I was like a little kid with this window.


This week I learned: That I'm a lucky lady because not every husband likes to spend time with his wife.

January 16, 2009

What a week. Pam passed away at 4am Wednesday morning and so we spent the day up there with the family. Hence the reason for no photo on Wednesday or Thursday. Her funeral is on Tuesday. Today I've spent most of the day asleep or so it seems from an overnight eye injury. I hate wearing glasses but that's what I've been stuck in. Soooooo....no picture today either. =). Okay I totally just put a period after my happy face. Tomorrow there will be a fresh picture. Hopefully with Mat. He's been good to me the past couple of days with a personal thing we're going through. And I love him for it. I had to pop in so I don't break my habit. I'm about headed to bed so I'm out.

Today I learned: That I don't want to get to the end of a week, the end of a year or the end of my life with regrets. I never want to be able to say I stopped growing.
