April 2012

  • The Snapshot

was April 2nd… and I totally forgot that I was supposed to do a “Goals” post. I was a little blindsided by my package that arrived! The Mark III has been good to me the past two days and I get to use her again tonight at another engagement session! It’s been a whirlwind the last couple of days. I’ve had three shoots since Saturday and one more tonight. I think I had forgotten what this feels like! I’ve had a good break. December-March was a time to regroup, get taxes straight, fix things that didn’t go so well last year and gear up for another crazy wedding season. When you book a crazy wedding season, then you have to expect a TON of engagements as well.

We just love that place but more importantly,

  • The 5D Mark III

It’s here! It’s here! I had a note waiting on my door friday night that read “You missed a UPS delivery that requires a signature, we’ll be back on Monday”. Grrrrrrrr. Isn’t that the worst?! And it ONLY happens to IMPORTANT packages! (But I am thankful that they didn’t leave this baby on the front porch! yikes!)  So I waited patiently until this morning and it came…. in all of it’s glory! To be honest, from the box, it looks the same. So what’s so GREAT about the Canon 5D Mark III….well, I’m going to officially find out today during my engagement session this evening. However, from just playing with it around the house for 40 minutes this morning,
