Where did December go?

Not sure how it happened…

Christmas is almost here and December is almost over.  As much as I LOVE this time of year I’m happy to see that the rush (at Creative Bent) is coming to an end and I am finally able to enjoy the holidays like everyone else!  :)  

That being said – I can’t wait to blog a little bit about some of the awesome sessions from October, November, and December!!  (what on earth was I thinking trying to start a blog before the chaos of this season)  Stay tuned… more images to come… but I couldn’t resist sharing this image of baby B! Every time I look at it it makes me laugh – and no, it was not digitally enhanced – the stream was actually bouncing off his arm!

Hope it brings a smile to your weekend!

This beautiful season.

I love everything about fall.  

I love the way fall weather feels – the damp cold mornings, the warm sun in the afternoon (not so much today), and the warmth of our fire pit on a night.

I love the sound of the leaves crunching under my feet and the wind blowing them out of the trees.

I love the clothes!!  (What girls doesn’t?!)

I love that Christmas is right around the corner – my FAVORITE time of year!  (I could listen to Christmas music year-round if my mother wouldn’t kill me!)

And I absolutely love the colors!  What a beautiful time of year to be a photographer!

When customers ask if I have an opinion on the best time of year is to photograph outdoors, my answer is always that I love every season for different reasons – and I’m not just saying that to be agreeable!  I really do love photographing outdoors any time of the year – really truly!  But who doesn’t LOVE some fall color in their photographs!

The image above is from one of our recent high school seniors!  She is stunning isn’t she?!  Beautiful weather, beautiful fall color, beautiful girl to photograph… it doesn’t get much better than this!

Enjoy the fall days while they last!

The Couch

I love this couch.  Seriously, I can’t get enough of it.

For those of you that have been to the studio in the past month for outdoor images know about my couch.  You may not know about my obsession with it… but you’ve probably sat on it, your kids have probably jumped on it, your puppies have probably drooled on it, and it will probably grace the walls of your home in your images!

I think I have a problem.  I really do love this couch!  It’s beautiful, and funky, and heavy as all get out, and grungy, and photographs amazingly, and I like it!  Just thought I’d share!

Holding my nose and jumping in!

This blog was actually created back in August!  Can you believe that!?

I feel this is a sad way to start a blog… and I’m a little afraid that it says something about my blossoming relationship with yet another online media!  I’m terrible about texting people back (my close friends/family know to call the studio!), I rarely check my personal e-mail, my hubby set up my personal Facebook account (I’m still unsure of my username/password), and Brooke (Creative Bent’s accountant/calendar keeper/e-mail guru/etc.) updates our business Facebook account… and yet here I am.  Starting a blog.  We’ll see how this goes!

I do really LOVE the idea of being able to stay connected with our Creative Bent Peeps, show everyone the fun and exciting things that are going on at the studio, as well as share a little bit of our personal lives!  Those of you that are already Creative Bent clients know that everyone pretty much feels like family – and for those of you we haven’t yet had the opportunity to meet – I hope this gives you a feel for who we are and what we are all about!

Enjoy the CB blog… and wish me luck – I’m holding my nose and jumping in!
