Return

Over the month of December, I had a few photo shoots that I will get to sharing, but first I want to share this wonderful flower that my husband and son bought me for Christmas.  They went shopping for my Christmas presents together and when they came home, Jaden carried in a plant that looked like this:

He said, "Mom we have to give this to you now because we won't be able to take care of it if we wrap it". Chuck said,"Jaden wanted to get you this one so you could watch it bloom", to which I replied, "then I will photograph it's growth".




With a final result in full bloom.

This was such a beautiful plant and since it is a bulb plant, I just store it until next winter.

There was more.....

There were more families:





This was a Christmas present for their mother, I have been told mother cried! That makes me happy--I was able to get this done quickly for them!

well...

There was a family photo shoot:





There of course was more photos but I think everyone gets the idea.

While away

This is the photo that I used for Bills Lawn Care Christmas card this year.
I intend to do some more before and afters, but right now I am catching up with blogging. It's been a while!

So, I had to do our X-mas family photos, and our x-mas card:






And of course our x-mas card came out of these:

Since I have been so busy with the house refurbishing, I haven't had time to add a blog in what seems like forever! So I spent the day working on a few before and afters to share.

This hardly makes up for a three week absence, but it will have to do for now! Working on more!

Another before and after.

My goal with the before and afters, is to show the sort of twist I can put on a picture.  I have a lot of fun editing.  This is a photo of me, yes shot by me as well ( it's magical how I do it)

After

This will be my theme for a bit.

Before and After

When I was out taking fall shots, I seen this house, which I initially thought was abandoned and of course that caught my eye more than the bright yellow tree.  When I realized that the house was not abandoned I settled for this shot.  But settling doesn't mean that I can't imagine it's abandoned and spooky! Take a look:
