Muscovy Duck-Winner of free session!

This is a Muscovy Duck

This little guy was the subject of much confusion at one of my last family sessions. So much so that after the session one of the children made his mom look up what it was! Is it a duck? Is it a Turkey? A Chicken? Luckily after they found out they passed along the intel to me! So, in honor of our new friend the Muscovy Duck I am announcing the winner of the free session!

I printed out all of the comments from this post, cut and drew and the winner is……

Missi | Fort Worth Portrait Photographer

I really like the color version, but also the black and white. I couldn’t decide which one was my favorite.

Canon Rebel xti 10.1 plus extras FOR SALE!!

Have you been wanting to take the plunge into photography but didn’t know where to start? Maybe you just doing want to drop a grand on something you’re not even sure you will like or be good at? Good news, my spring cleaning kick is overflowing from website/business overhaul to gear overhaul-I’m hoping next is my office because it is out of control! I have been given one room in our house to conduct my business affairs. So why then are there prints, sample books, albums, canvases, baby beanies/props spread about the house?? I need someone to keep me in check…

So, I’m selling my first ever DSLR camera, the Canon Rebel. This baby has traveled the world with me. From Kenya to Peru, Canada to Switzerland. It has captured and carried many memories for me and now I am hoping it will do the same for someone else. It is fully automatic OR fully manual. The perfect mix for someone who is just putting their toes in the water. I haven’t used it for a long while but I have kept it because it’s much lighter than my 5D and it would be nice to have on the trail while backpacking but…SPRING IS HERE and I am so tired of un-used things sitting around! Plus, I just bought two ridiculously amazing lenses but paid a not so ridiculously awesome price… so, out with the old in with the new!

Camera: Canon Rebel EOS XTi 10.1 Mega Pixels

Lenses: Canon 18-55 mm & Sigma 55-200 mm f/4-5.6 (Including Polarizer & UV Filter)

Extras: 4 Batteries, A/C Charger, Car Charger, 2 SanDisk Compact Flash Cards 64MB & 128MB, Sandisk Card Case, Camera Case, Bower External-FlashOmni Bounce for Flash, Bower Fisheye Adapter and a few other random things…

I’m selling EVERYTHING together as a bundle for $500! The camera itself is worth $500 but I want everything gone so you get everything else for free–but you MUST take it! Remember, it’s spring cleaning!

FIRST COME FIRST SERVE Paypal, Check & Cash Accepted

*Fort Worth Pick-up or I will ship however, shipping will be extra*

The camera and lenses could use a good cleaning, but this can easily be done at your local camera shop (Fort Worth Camera) or if you are feeling up to it, you can buy a kit and do it yourself. I’m in the mode to get things out so I didn’t want to mess with taking it to Fort Worth Camera for a week to be cleaned. I cling to things, so when I feel the urge it’s best just to go with it!

*Some of my extras are odd and random, but they served me will. I would not recommend buying them for professional use, however, they were great for learning! The Bower brand is cheap and allows you to explore things and test the waters (like an external flash and fisheye lens) before investing in the real deal.*

A beautiful day to be born | Fort Worth Maternity Photography

Or so we thought… Little Nyah didn’t feel that way. My dear sweet friend has been ready to welcome Nyah into the world for about a week now, but Nyah has found her a comfortable place and decided to stay a while. Yesterday was the day before Jen’s actual due date, the day that Jim & Pam’s baby was being born (Office lovers? anyone?), a beautiful sun shining day, the day after I received my two new amazing lenses and a Thursday-the day of the week that my Jesus/Mountain/Nature loving friends gather for food and fellowship. All of these things obviously combined for the perfect day to be born. …but alas…she is still holding out.

Jen is so beautiful. Nyah is going to be as beautiful inside and out. She will come out with “glitter in her palms” as Jen would say.

A little coaxing from big brother. But still. She stays.

Lakoda is getting so big! You may remember him from one of my very first posts on my new blog.

He is also getting use to me following him around with a camera. He now poses himself. I say nothing. He’s so funny.

Master of the Potato Head

Dr. Dan trying to explain why this would just never work in real life. Koda argues. I smile.

Nyah’s room is amazing! Jen painted the flower bird herself WHILE being prego. She is wonder-woman.

Ok Nyah, get the hint. We are so ready for you! Your room is amazing and your big bro has a few things he’d like to teach you:

Not to mention, Uncle Dan & Aunt Cake are ready to meet you! (I’m pretty sure if I had a beard Lakoda would pronounce my name correctly-it works for Dan!)
