So tomorrow is my first session using my new camera and lens and I’m not going to lie, I’m a nervous wreck!!  Jessica, I hope you aren’t reading this!  😉  I’ve been using my camera nonstop trying to get used to it.  It’s just so different than my other camera, in a good way.  My mom asked why I don’t just take my old camera.  My response, “Yeah right!!!”  And besides, I’ve already sold it!  No tears were shed either.  So here are some more practice shots.  I know that everything will be fine tomorrow, just gotta get some confidence!!  Canon Rebel XTi, rest in peace!!

As long as Mya has been taking baths in the regular bathtub, I’ve wanted to get some pictures of her in a pile of bubbles, but it just wasn’t ever possible before with my old camera  so today we took Mya into our bathroom and she was so confused!  She usually takes her bath before bedtime.  When I asked her if she wanted to take a bath, she looked at me like, “What?!  I just woke up from a nap!”  She had a great time and I got that booty shot that I’ve been wanting to get for so long.  I was afraid that she was going to get too old and then it would be too late.  Now I can die a happy momma.  She’s going to hate me someday for the picture, but I love those chubby little legs and that adorable little booty!

This morning (I start every post like that, don’t I?  LOL, sorry!)  I took pictures for a woman who is starting her own business.  She makes AMAZING little girls’ dresses!  I was so excited to see them!  I took pictures of her dresses on these 2 beautiful little girls so that she can post them on her Etsy site.  I’m not allowed to post pictures of the dresses until she has her site ready, but as soon as I can, I will and you just wait until you see what this woman has created.  She is one talented momma! Before I left, I had to get some shots of the 2 little girls up close because they are absolutely breathtaking!  I do have to apologize for making this poor group of people drive all over Austin.  I felt so awful!  I learned a second lesson today (the first being don’t buy balloons to use for a session on a windy day!).  Call ahead to a location to make sure it’s not booked for a wedding!  DUH!  Sometimes my blonde hair takes over and my brain shuts off.  Thank the good Lord above that these people were easy going!  I could have been in for it!  Everything happens for a reason and as I was driving to our second location, I didn’t know what the reason was and I was sure that these people were cussing me in their cars!  😉  But after we got to our second location, I realized that it was a much better place for the photos that we were taking.  So everything worked out the way it was supposed to!  Be on the lookout for these adorable dresses that I will be posting very soon!
