day 30

My "baby leave" is almost up, February starts my first month back shooting sessions! I'm excited to be starting back up. While I've not taken a complete break from the business, I did keep the sessions and ordering appointments out of my schedule (unless it was a baby planner or someone from the fall needing something). Thank you all for so much understanding, and for all the love you have shown our family.

Have you seen it?

Have you been to http://www.carlabphotography.com lately?

I updated the site...FINALLY! There are some sessions not in there right now that I intend to put on the site, but someone got a little "archive" happy and I am looking for those archived images.

I have some tiny things to change, but it's viewable by everyone now. It's about time I updated as well since there have been so many wonderful sessions this past year!

Playing catchup - 366 photos

I'm getting the images taken...but failing the posting part!

Katie wondered what this was today. She just stared at it with a questioning look in her eyes.

24 - Cute!

day 23 - my desk

I can't believe I'm posting this. I really can't. This is my desk, where I do all the processing, where I read your emails. Don't worry, all client files are safely stored in another area that is NICELY organized. My in-box for my email looks similar.

I've heard that a messy desk is a sign of a creative mind. I know I saw that somewhere...probably on a coffee mug! LOL

"Take a photo of your desk" was the theme for today. I have a feeling that the photo theme of the day later this week (or next) will be take another photo of your desk AFTER it's been cleaned! I think I'll clean it soon.

day 22 - a sad day

We found out on Tuesday 1/22 that our cat of 12 years was very terminally ill. Our choice was let him wake up from surgery, bring him home to die. Or let the vet just not let him wake up from the surgery. There was nothing left to do to help him get better.

Our first "baby" our "furbaby" is no longer with us. The cat food bowls are needed no more.

Days 19 and 21

Yes, that means I missed day 18 and day 20. I just forgot to take a photo. We were traveling, busy, and I forgot. I am thinking I need to do something to make sure that I make the attempt, or at least hopefully ensure I do not forget again!

Day 19 and 21 are just snapshots from the point and shoot. I'm not feeling very creative right now, but hopefully this week of slower activities will help refuel me and recharge me!



There was a theme for day 21 - DREAM in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. While a dream about our daughter isn't in the same league as the dream of MLK, it was a dream. It is a dream that is now realized. I had to quickly come up with an image as Katie is soon to go to bed for the night. On short notice (I read the theme and remembered I was supposed to post a photo today about 30 minutes ago) this was the best idea I could come up with.



I hope you all had a wonderful Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend! I also hope you stayed warm in the freezing temps!!!

16th day

Sometimes I feel like there is nothing worthwhile to shoot around me. This is our flatware drawer, particularly the knives. Even the most mundane objects have a kind of beauty when looked at through the lens.
