I'm going to keep this short and sweet because I woke up this morning sick as a dog. Hopefully tomorrow will cooperate and we'll have clear weather for the family shoot I'm supposed to have. So next week I should have a TON of pictures to post. :)

In about six months this will be attached to my hip 24/7 for a year.

Just a bit of an update

2009-02-22T11:03:00.004-06:00

So, I'm still pregnant. I was really hoping to have the baby by now. Oh well. I guess she is going to come on her own time. lol. I'm so anxious to get back to shooting! Also, my Project365 is going slow as well. I'm going to try to get caught up on that today.

Day 45

2009-02-15T18:46:00.003-06:00

This is what my husband learned from a chick flick! We went to see "Marley and Me" and in the movie she get's a "push present." Well, my husband googled this and learned about this wonderful tradition. I had no clue that pregnant women got "push presents." He totally made my day!

Day 40

2009-02-15T18:33:00.003-06:00

I wanted to play around with photoshop, and had the motivation to do so, so I asked my daughter to sit so I could get some face shots of her and this is what I got.

Day 39

2009-02-15T18:30:00.004-06:00

When you wake up to carpet like this you will develop the same vacuuming obsession that I have.

Day 38

2009-02-15T18:15:00.003-06:00

Yes, I know I'm so behind in my project, but after I get done posting I will be caught up. :)

Project 365

2009-02-13T15:15:00.001-06:00

Well, this project has been a little behind. Our baby should be here any day so I have been slacking with getting pictures posted. Hopefully, I will get everything caught up today or tomorrow. :)

Day 37

2009-02-09T17:06:00.003-06:00

Playing around in photoshop again. I'm not liking this effect at all but I don't really have the energy at the moment to re-do the photo.

Day 34

2009-02-04T21:19:00.003-06:00

I am blessed with a child that will never pose for a picture. At least in this one she isn't making a horrible face. :P

Finally getting caught up!

2009-02-03T11:50:00.004-06:00

day 33: our dog likes to lay on our couch pillows so we bought him a nice big comfy one of his own. and of course he won’t lay on it.

day 29: our baby bedding came in!! :D

Graves OpLove Shoot

2009-02-02T13:13:00.005-06:00

I had a great time on Saturday doing my first OpLove shoot! It was awesome! But I learned a very important lesson. (Just a little background, I left my rechargeable batteries and my charger at my dad's house over Christmas break, so I am having to use "regular" batteries) Bring a million back up batteries!!! My external flash died about halfway through the shoot. I though not a big deal I have 4 back-up batteries. Well, those damn things were dead too. :( Luckily it was beautiful outside and we got to finish the shoot outside. The kids really enjoyed playing in the snow.

To view the complete album please visit http://kravitzphotography.zenfolio.com

2009-02-01T07:56:00.006-06:00

Poor kid! Look how red she is. My husband keep throwing snow on her.

OpLove and Project365

2009-01-30T21:02:00.003-06:00

Yes, I'm behind on my project :(. I have been taking pictures, though. I just need to get them posted. Hopefully, I will get it all caught up this weekend.

I finally have an Oplove shoot! I'm so excited about this but at the same time very nervous. Wish me luck! :D

Shooting in the snow

2009-01-27T17:26:00.003-06:00

It snowed today!!! I have never shot in the snow so I figured today would be a perfect day to play around with it and try to figure it out. I don't think they came out too bad but I plan on going back out tomorrow and trying again. :D

Day 26

2009-01-26T22:06:00.003-06:00

She finally got to paint today!

Someone got caught in the box :P

Day 22

2009-01-22T20:37:00.003-06:00

Yesterday my husband came home with a Diet Dr. Pepper and some flowers. :D He is such a sweetie!

Day 21

2009-01-21T14:06:00.004-06:00

I saw this shot done with a baby. It was so cute! I wanted to "test" it before Kelcie gets here.

Day 20

2009-01-21T14:03:00.002-06:00

I was trying to get my husband an orange. I don't think he'll want one.

Day 19

2009-01-21T13:57:00.003-06:00

Okay I've been slacking the last few days to get these posted. Sorry. This is my other guilty pleasure this pregnancy. :D

Some pictures from the evening.

2009-01-18T23:59:00.005-06:00

So the dog and our daughter were looking too cute tonight. :)

Day 18

2009-01-18T21:46:00.004-06:00

I fully intended on having a different picture tonight. I cooked and thought I would show what I cooked off, but while taking other pictures tonight I got this shot of Ringo and thought it was so much better. So, here is Ringo, again. :)

Day 17

2009-01-18T13:05:00.002-06:00

For my mom! She got our daughter a washer set for Christmas. It has turned her into a little suzie homemaker :)

Day 16

2009-01-16T23:10:00.004-06:00

I was kinda a loss as to what to photograph tonight. We had a very uneventful day. I saw the statue we got for Christmas sitting there and figured it would be a good candidate for Day 16.

Day 15

2009-01-15T22:45:00.003-06:00

We got our daughter a V-Smile thing for Christmas and we decided to sit down with her and try it out tonight. Needless to say it's been an interesting night lol.

Day 14

2009-01-15T20:22:00.006-06:00

Ringo again. He will be making a lot of appearances. :) Here is a different view of him, something than the everyday look :P

Day 13 and 10 minutes late :)

2009-01-14T00:06:00.003-06:00

Okay so I'll be about 10 minutes late getting this posted exactly on day 13. oops! Anyways, I am very proud of this photo. Shot in all manual. I feel much more comfortable in manual than I did even a week ago. I guess it finally clicked. I asked for advice on how to shoot my moon pictures below and that advice, as simple as it was, has made a huge difference in how I feel about shooting in manual. Don't really know what it was but yay! it has clicked, or atleast I hope so. :D

Day 12

2009-01-12T16:33:00.006-06:00

Well, day 12 is so cool it gets two photos. It was so beautiful out today, so we ventured outside to play.

I wanted to add this photo as well. I thought it was so crazy how close together these two planes were flying.

Day 11

2009-01-11T20:10:00.004-06:00

So my bff requested that I get a shot of the moon. I think the second shot is better than the first.

Day 10

2009-01-10T21:01:00.003-06:00

Day 10......figured I would start to put some effort into these "project" photos. So, this has been by far my guilty pleasure this pregnancy! :P

Sweetheart's Special!!!!!

2009-01-10T11:46:00.005-06:00

(Click picture to make larger)

2009-01-08T20:32:00.004-06:00

Okay this photo is not at all a good quality photo but I'm not at the game to get one. :)

Day 7

2009-01-07T16:43:00.004-06:00

I thought this was a really cute idea. I wanted to do this as one of our wedding pictures but I totally forgot on the day of.

Day 6, did it again

2009-01-07T16:20:00.004-06:00

Here is Ringo again. This was just a quick snapshot before we headed to bed.

Day 5

2009-01-05T16:36:00.003-06:00

We took our wee one to get her hair cut today. She wanted to "paint" her hair pink. Instead she got some fake pink hair ;)

Meet Ringo! He is our Bernese Mountain dog. And here he is with a BBQ covered rib bone on my white carpet lol. Just wonderful!

V's Boudoir Shoot

2009-01-04T17:33:00.005-06:00

This is by far my favorite shoot to date! I had a blast! V and D were awesome enough to do a boudoir shoot for my portfolio. I had a total brain fart with my camera on a few pictures but over all I am very pleased with how the photos turned out. You can view the entire collection at http://kravitzphotography.zenfolio.com. Enjoy!

Day 3....meant to post yesterday

2009-01-04T14:19:00.003-06:00

Oops! So my first day where I didn't actually post on the day. I atleast took the picture on the right day. I had my first boudoir shoot yesterday. This is a picture of one of D's tatoos.

Nervous :-/

I have my first boudoir shoot today! I'm excited about doing this type of shoot but at the same time INCREDIBLY nervous. This will be apart of my portfolio so it's free, so that takes off a little pressure. But, I still want the pictures to turn out great. I guess I really shouldn't be worried. I'm like this before most shoots. I know all will go well. Once I get there and start shooting I'll feel better.........Wish me luck! :D

Day 2 and other things

Day 2- tinkertoys! such a classic. We got these for our daughter this year for christmas. She absolutely loves them!

Well, I have my first boudoir photo shoot tomorrow for my portfolio. I haven't done a shoot in a few days so I'm feeling a little rusty. I imagine all will go well, so wish me luck! I should have a sneek peek tomorrow night sometime.

Project 365 Day 1

I saw this and thought it would be cool to do. There are a lot of big things happening in our lives this year so what would be a better way to capture that.

So for my first photo of this little project it is of my husband showing you how we brought in the new year. lol. Yes, we stayed at home and play mariokart on the wii all night long. I don't think my almost 8 month pregnant butt would have lasted long at a party or the bars.

Completely Frustrated

Okay, so I can't figure out how to fix my other blog so I'm just starting a new one. I'm sorry for all of the confusion. If you want to view the old blog you can find it at http://kravitzphotography.blogspot.com but I will not be updating there anymore. I will only be posting here :D.
