Social Sunday 6-8-14

I am linking up with Ashley Lately for the Sunday Social. What is a better way to get to know me than by answering a few questions? How fun right? Everyone loves to talk about themselves to a point. It is okay to admit it. 

1. When do you take time out for you?
Well my time was when the kids were at school and the Significant Other is at work. Now that it is summer one of the kids will be home all the time. Logan has year round school because he goes to get his therapies and social interaction with someone other than me. My "me" time will now be spent in my bedroom, by myself before the S.O. and little one get home. Is that bad?

2.What do you find to be your biggest weakness?
I can NOT go a day with Pepsi. It is my coffee and my poison. I can not function without it. 

3. What is your biggest attribute?
Some people find it annoying but I do a lot of research and know a ton of useless information and facts but I also know a ton of useful information. Due to my research abilities I was able to discover that my son was not getting the right type of ABA therapy. Long story short I researched, I complained and got his plan of care changed, a new consultant on his case and now everything will be starting fresh come Wednesday! Go me!!!

4. Where is your favorite place to shop online?
I honestly do not shop online. Very seldom have I ever. The couple of times I have its been through Amazon

5. What is your favorite place to kill time?
Ugh Wal-Mart. Even though I loath the place its where I find myself at all the time. 

Next weeks questions

1. 4 favorite phone apps

2. 4 favorite summer tv shows

3. 4 things you would NEVER do

4. 4 Items you carry with you no matter what

5. 4 blogs we should follow

Have a wonderful start to the week!! 

Working On My Skills!

First I would like to say kudos to those working bloggers! How in the world do you find time to blog and work, I will never know. I guess you can prioritize your time correctly. Something I have discovered that I can not do. 

I have had a few more photo shoots and it seems I have been spending most of my time editing those photos. I am self teaching myself photoshop so yeah this takes a lot of time. I'm cheating a little and using photoshop elements 10. It's easier than the photoshop cs3 I also have that confuses the crap out of me. 

But I am managing and I am happy with some of my work that I have done. I have really come to love an effect called depth field. Love love this. 

Here is an example of it. 

This is an effect where you focus on your subject and blur out the background. Not to shabby if I say so myself. 

My last two shoots that I have booked were couples sessions, but of course I sneak in some individuals as well. Hence the two at top. But I love couples shoots. They are fun. Capturing the love in the couples eyes is worth it. 

I am still learning and by no means claim to be a professional. I mainly do this as a hobby and if I make some money off of it, then fantastic! So far I am having a blast and it feels great getting out of the house and doing something that I enjoy. I still have lots of practice but so far I think I am doing well.
