A Basement Renovation Update.... and pretty pictures

Life has been busy.

This week has been full of photo editing.

My computer is still not working properly.

I have a Mac and with it, I bought something called Applecare.

(A call line where experts can help you with any problems.)

I ended up with several Applecare experts.

Then I was transferred to one of the Applecare expert's supervisors.

Then he needed to get help from his Engineering Tech support.

Whatever was supposed to work, didn't.

He was going to call back by the end of the day to get this resolved.

He didn't.

I have his number.

I can call him.

I'm just tired of wasting spending so much time accomplishing absolutely nothing.

And I don't know what I would do if I had to have my life in a box  computer sent away.

So I'm ignoring all the glitches for now.

It's what I do best. 

laaa laa la daa da dee da.

I had the opportunity to take photos of another newborn.

I did the shoot at their house.

A first for me, I was there for almost three hours.

I learned so much.

I learned it's much easier to take pictures in your own home.

But I also know it's much easier for mother's with newborns for you to come to them.

So I'm going to stretch and learn and get better at assessing and seeing good shots in new places!

I also did a trade.

A family photo shoot for some design expertise.

I was thrilled with both.

She is extremely creative, and I know she will look at photos much differently than someone who isn't.

So I was able to try some things that maybe other client's would not appreciate.
I was thrilled with the shot above.
I've been wanting to try something like this... and love it!
By far my favourite photo of the week!

Again with every shoot I am learning more and more.

And I realized maybe it would be nice for me to pass along some of these 'aha' moments.

Possibly a weekly photo tips post?

I'll see if I can be that structured;

It's not in my genetic makeup.
But then again,
I stopped eating bread and sugar at a ripe o'l age.

So it gives me hope that one can teach an old dog new tricks.
hmmm...I just re-read that and realized I may have inadvertently compared myself to an old dog.

Just in case you were wondering?
I've always seen myself as a stately Irish Setter.
..in case.. you know... you were.  wondering. 

I'll be able to show you more of both photo shoots, once I get caught up.

Both The Agronomist's family and my own are also waiting for photos taken this past summer.
Hello Family.. wave wave... I promise they are on their way : )

And yes I am continuing to take bi-weekly shots for:

Project Baby

I will have a post soon with several weeks together.

My workflow is anything but efficient.

It's the one area I will be focusing on over the next several months.

And while I'm upstairs working on the computer.

Tony is downstairs working his magic.

It is all very exciting, and frustrating at the same time.

I'm a dreamer.

I can see so many possibilities, but find it hard to decide.

While the mess is still e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e....

the basement is looking great, and deserves a post of it's own.

The mudding and sanding are almost complete,

and painting has begun.

Pop by over the weekend, and I'll show you all the amazing progress,

and decisions that have been made so far.

The new windows let in so much light.

We are definitely seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Have a great weekend friends!

xoxo.

PS and yes I suspect I am still driving The Agronomist and Tony crazy with all my...
What if we...?

Could that work?
Trim style?  umm.... let me get back to you on that : )
