It's a Surprise!

Last week I managed to have a session scheduled on a day it didn't rain or even threaten to, yay! My favorite thing about this couple was how much they laughed. He put on fun music for her, joked about the absurdity of what a maternity session really is, and they just went on being themselves. Meanwhile I stood guard at the glass doors and made sure no children learned about baby bellies before they were meant to. Jenn and Mike don't know what they're having, which I personally find so fun! In the days of 4-D ultrasounds and all the great world of technology can offer, isn't it nice to just keep it simple?

As convient as technology can be, sometimes it just takes the fun out of things. Even with all that I have at my fingertips, I can still find myself feeling uninspired. And it seems, as always, the best thing to do is just get back to the basics. This Sunday just happens to be Pinhole Photography Day, the very thing that sparked my interest in the first place! So if you find yourself like me, occasionally complaining that your brand new Mac Pro is as slow as a dinosaur and wondering why it's necessary to plug a cable cord into your television in 2009, maybe it's time for good dose of old mother nature. I'm sure Ansel wasn't complaining about his photoshop actions taking too long to run...
