You’ll never guess what I ordered last night!!! =) A whole shopping cart full of goodies! I’m so excited… I’ve been drooling over this CAMERA for ages now! Yes, you heard that right, A NEW CAMERA! The Canon 5D to be exact. I also got a SWEET little lens to go along with it… the 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM =) And of course, you gotta have something to carry all that gear around with, so what could be better than the Crumpler 7 million dollar home??? Oh yeah, baby! (I got a eye one monitor calibrator, too, but that’s not nearly as exciting, LOL)

Woo hooo! And to celebrate, I’m having a contest!! Check out the details here.

Ha! Okay, I admit, I didn’t actually know it was my 100th post. =) It did sound good though, didn’t it?

Notice the new linkage!!!! ———–>

If you know me, you know I’m a photoshop addict. I mean, can you really BE a photographer these days and NOT be a photoshop addict? =) I’m always fiddling with logos and graphics & stuff…. needless to say, my husband isn’t exactly thrilled with all the time I spend on the computer so I’ve decided to create another little blog with my stuff for sale.

Hey, it’s my best attempt at shutting him up….

Just wanted to let you know that if you’d like to schedule a session & get your portraits back for Christmas, you need to do so ASAP! The last date to schedule a session & get your order back in time for the holidays is November 11th. As of this morning, I only have 3 session left in October, and 2 in November. Email me for more details - stephanie@stephaniearnoldphotography.com - I look forward to hearing from you! =)

I couldn’t resist - wanted to share those gorgeous baby blues =) Plus, who wants to look at a dirty baby bum all day? (Besides me? haha!)

Trying to edit some of *MY* photos … these are from July =) We were at Mawmaw’s house & Eric put up our water slide - naturally we didn’t *know* he planned to do that, so Cassidy swam in her diaper a bit before it *BLEW UP*! Ha! Then we put some panties on her - doesn’t she look cute? For the record, we are NOT potty training yet. She’s my baby, I don’t like to think about it! =(

NO, it’s not poo. It’s just dirt! =) I LOOOOOOVE it! The little stinker kept running away….

OH! P.S. - I’m working on some Christmas Card templates!!! I should have them up in the next day or so on my “other” blog - Totally Tickled. Check it out… you’ll get a taste of my new website colors =) Let me know what you think!

…as instructed by Jackson:

I love this kid. Throwin’ in a color one for good measure =)

Look at those grubby little paws… =)

I’ve been tagged by Julie to post youtube videos of my 10 favorite songs. I’m gonna break this up into 2 posts since it’s kinda LONG. I’ve gotta say, this is super hard for someone like me who absolutely loves music! I really believe that music, like photography, should stir some emotion in you. If it doesn’t, it’s not working! These are in no particular order… haha, I sound like Ryan Seacrest or something.

1. The Eagles - Hotel California
No explanation needed!!! =)

2. Rob Thomas with Carlos Santana - Smooth
A good latin beat, awesome guitar, and Rob Thomas. Does it get any better???

3. Charlotte Church with Josh Groban - The Prayer
This song gives me chills every time I hear it - these two have the most beautiful voices… Half of it isn’t even in English, but I *feel* it - did I mention I’m really, really into music? haha!

4. Josh Groban - To Where You Are
This song just breaks my heart…

5. MercyMe - I Can Only Imagine

Okay, so how’s that for diversity?? HA! =)
