Prop Addiction

Lately my new addiction is buying and making props for my photography business. I am obsessed!! Goodwill and Yard sales are definitely the places to look for props! Baskets, blankets, chairs... A few days ago I stopped by Goodwill to look for chairs to repaint and ended up finding some amazing handmade blankets for only $4 each. These blankets will be perfect for my newborn and baby shoots! Take a look:


Yesterday on our way to my sister's house for their July 4th Festivities, we stopped by a yard sale on the side of the road. It was almost 4 in the afternoon so I knew I would be able to talk the guy down on prices. There were two perfect size chairs selling for $5 each. I got them both for $5 instead!! Can't wait to paint them vibrant colors. They will be great for newborn, baby, and children pictures!! Hmmm... what color should I paint them?? I was thinking a bright blue for one and a red or pink for the other one. We will see?? Still on a lookout for a few more chairs. Yes, I am addicted to props!!

Oh and one more thing. I bought this wooden barn floor mat online the other night. This was a lot more $ than the other props ($100) but I know it will be worth it!

I also made some adorable baby headbands. Will post them later. I have a photoshoot of a baby girl due in a few weeks. Cannot wait to see them on her! :)

Pupperoos

The farm is full of pups!! BIG pups and little pups.
This is Sam (the big brown dog) and Barley (the Jack Russel puppy). Sam is one of the best dogs. He may look scary to others, but he is the gentlest and most nicest dog ever! Love him.

Yesterday Norma was so happy because two girls decided to take a swim in the pond. She had so much fun swimming with them. Thank goodness someone played with her. She wants attention so badly. Now Pepper, that's a different story. While Norma was swimming and running around the pond with the girls, Pepper was watching from afar under the bush. She likes to keep to herself.

I took this video this morning of Weston and Barley playing with a Blueberry container. They kept each other company. So cute!

The Basket

Weston could spend HOURS in front of the basket FULL of toys! I used to take out toys and place them around for him, but just learned that he likes to take them out all by himself! I tip the basket and he takes out a toy, screams about it, and then throws it aside and goes for the next one. Love it!

I just love watching him try to crawl. Now he gets up on his toes with his tush up in the air. So funny!


Just downloaded this week's pics from my iphone...

Chillin' in the pool with Aunt Julia's sunglasses!

Yum! Trying green beans for the first time.

Hanging out with his sistas. We brushed Norma for a l-o-n-g time! She has so many mats from swimming in the pond! UGH!
