I`ll be adding a series of sweet apron dresses to my website over the next couple weeks. They are part of my everyday boutique line and are priced at only $52....the perfect addition to any spring or summer wardrobe! They will all be ready to ship and only available in the size/sizes listed. I added the first one today...I have it finished in a 3T and 5T/6. Head over to my website and check it out .
The picture above was taken with my new equipment "spurge". Though I wanted a new camera AND a new lense...I decided to get the lense first. I figured I could use it on my camera, get used to it, then later upgrade the camera. The lense I bought was the 70-200L 2.8 IS. Its big and scarey....LOL. When I first put it on my camera I initually felt bad for my little XT....such a HEAVY attachment for that light camera. Anyway...I havent had a chance to play with it too much, but I did manage to snap a few pics of the new apron dress. I think once I get used I`ll love it.
I`m also taking the plunge into CS4. I downloaded the trial version just to try it out. We found out that because Sarah is a college student she can purchase it at an 80% discount right now. That is a HUGE savings. But wow....a huge learning curve here. I`ve been working with Ulead photo Impact for years and know it like the back of my hand. On to bigger and better things!! If anyone has any tips or suggestions...I would love to hear!! What photoediting program do YOU use????? How has the learning curve been? What is your favorite place to get actions?? And....what lenses do YOU use if you`re using a canon? I know...a million questions. I feel like I`m back in school.
Well I`m off to do some alterations. Hemming pants for a wedding isn`t exactly my idea of creative fun but it`ll help pay for my new "toy".
Have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Hey there.... ok... 1st of all, your latest pics are SHOCKING. I love the 3rd on... Her skin is so sharp and clear you'd think you could reach out and touch her! I've tried Photoshop Elements... There's a learning curve I'll never get... My sister likes the tips on Pioneer Woman's blog. What kind of camera are you using again? I didn't understand the abreviations... and I'm feeling the itch for a new toy ;-)
Sorry I've been lurking with no comments... but Love your blog!

Hey Laurie, I love CS4. I only downloaded the trial also. But used the heck out of it for that month. I wish I could purchase it because I got so hooked. I love it all. Everyday I learned so much on there. You'll love it!!
hugs,

Hey Laurie - I use photoshop - it took quite a long time to master and I still probably only know about 10% of what it can do but that is still alot. Some actions I really like are phaunt and ittybittyactions. I use the canon 5D and to shoot outside I use the 50mm 1.2.
