Guess what I got???

You'll never guess what I ordered last night!!! =) A whole shopping cart full of goodies! I'm so excited... I've been drooling over this CAMERA for ages now! Yes, you heard that right, A NEW CAMERA! The Canon 5D to be exact. I also got a SWEET little lens to go along with it... the 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM =) And of course, you gotta have something to carry all that gear around with, so what could be better than the Crumpler 7 million dollar home??? Oh yeah, baby! (I got a eye one monitor calibrator, too, but that's not nearly as exciting, LOL)

MY 100TH POST!

Woo hooo! And to celebrate, I'm having a contest!! Check out the details here.

Ha! Okay, I admit, I didn't actually know it was my 100th post. =) It did sound good though, didn't it?

My "other" stuff

Notice the new linkage!!!! ----------->

If you know me, you know I'm a photoshop addict. I mean, can you really BE a photographer these days and NOT be a photoshop addict? =) I'm always fiddling with logos and graphics & stuff.... needless to say, my husband isn't exactly thrilled with all the time I spend on the computer so I've decided to create another little blog with my stuff for sale.

Hey, it's my best attempt at shutting him up.... ;)

To my clients...

Just wanted to let you know that if you'd like to schedule a session & get your portraits back for Christmas, you need to do so ASAP! The last date to schedule a session & get your order back in time for the holidays is November 11th. As of this morning, I only have 3 session left in October, and 2 in November. Email me for more details - stephanie@stephaniearnoldphotography.com - I look forward to hearing from you! =)

Just one more...

I couldn't resist - wanted to share those gorgeous baby blues =) Plus, who wants to look at a dirty baby bum all day? (Besides me? haha!)

Dirty Bum

Trying to edit some of *MY* photos ... these are from July =) We were at Mawmaw's house & Eric put up our water slide - naturally we didn't *know* he planned to do that, so Cassidy swam in her diaper a bit before it *BLEW UP*! Ha! Then we put some panties on her - doesn't she look cute? For the record, we are NOT potty training yet. She's my baby, I don't like to think about it! =(



NO, it's not poo. It's just dirt! =) I LOOOOOOVE it! The little stinker kept running away....




OH! P.S. - I'm working on some Christmas Card templates!!! I should have them up in the next day or so on my "other" blog - Totally Tickled. Check it out... you'll get a taste of my new website colors =) Let me know what you think!

How to make a fish face...

...as instructed by Jackson:




I love this kid. Throwin' in a color one for good measure =)

Look at those grubby little paws... =)

Tagged!

I've been tagged by Julie to post youtube videos of my 10 favorite songs. I'm gonna break this up into 2 posts since it's kinda LONG. I've gotta say, this is super hard for someone like me who absolutely loves music! I really believe that music, like photography, should stir some emotion in you. If it doesn't, it's not working! These are in no particular order... haha, I sound like Ryan Seacrest or something.

1. The Eagles - Hotel California
No explanation needed!!! =)


2. Rob Thomas with Carlos Santana - Smooth
A good latin beat, awesome guitar, and Rob Thomas. Does it get any better???


3. Charlotte Church with Josh Groban - The Prayer
This song gives me chills every time I hear it - these two have the most beautiful voices... Half of it isn't even in English, but I *feel* it - did I mention I'm really, really into music? haha!


4. Josh Groban - To Where You Are
This song just breaks my heart...


5. MercyMe - I Can Only Imagine



Okay, so how's that for diversity?? HA! =)
