So Busy!

I haven't posted lately (and my lovely Aunt and devoted blog follower made me aware of this yesterday:)), so I am catching up now.  I had started several different posts only to become frustrated at the fact that Blogger had changed its formatting once again.  After battling with Blogger's new picture posting for weeks, I am proud to say that I finally clicked the right button or went to the right layout because we are back in business with two new posts (and I now realize how hard I was making such an easy thing).

It has been a very busy few weeks in my world of unemployment!  I am happy to report that I was offered an interview at a local YMCA. I cannot tell you how nice it was to slip into some work attire.  It has been so long since I have utilized over half of my wardrobe, and the feeling of wearing heals and black pants again was surprisingly nice. The interview was possibly one of the hardest I have had, but well worth the experience. Although I am not sure the job is for me, I really appreciated the opportunity and now know a little bit more about a great organization.

I have also had an amazing amount of small photography opportunities over the past weeks. My friend Holly wanted some fall/halloween/pumpkin patch pictures with her son Lucas. We set out for a photo shoot with another friend/mom, Rachel, and her 17 month old Tyson at a local farm. There is such a huge difference between photographing a newborn and a toddler. Tyson was hard to catch on camera, but I managed to snap a few:)

Holly is part of a group of moms with small children who meet several times throughout each month. They had arranged a family bonfire/cookout/tractor ride at this same farm, and she asked if any of them would like family pictures done. Seven families signed up, and I really enjoyed the experience. I hope to post these pics soon (once I get the families' permission).

Yesterday, I did a small Halloween photo shoot with Mr. Lucas and his mommy again. Since I don't have a studio, it can be hard to get good lighting, but I think these turned out fairly well.

 And finally, their Halloween card:) We stole this idea from another photographer who had done something similar for Valentine's Day cards. Holly found the leg warmers for Lucas and socks for her at Target. Cute idea!
