there’ll always be an excuse to not do something, i find myself procrastinating every day about things that i just NEED TO DO ALREADY!
is it the same for you too?

today was the day of the big family portrait – we booked into Morffew Photos a few weeks ago as a present for my parent’s wedding anniversary. we hadn’t taken a complete family portrait in years so with the kids getting bigger by the second, it was time!
unfortunately, the second we stepped into the studio and got into position – Jovie FLIPPED OUT. and i mean, FLIPPED. OUT. woah-weee! then as Jovie was turning into a puddle of mess, red eyes and tear stained everything – Jasper refused to sit and then went into a 2 year old spin. i think i tried every trick in the book (including backing towards the camera and turning around all of a sudden, and pretending the softbox flash was the moon) – but i think time and a little patience won out and we got a few great shots. Jovie even settled down enough to have her own mini photo shoot – Jasper gave it a go, but was never impressed enough to try. you should of seen the deadpan stare towards the very end of the shoot – seriously no expression, like the photographs really did take his soul 😛
we’ve ordered 4 photos for the package we’ve got – and i bought a very special family portrait, which i’ll post up here once they’re ready (about 3 weeks). it’s a shame that prints are so expensive (which i understand, that’s where they make their money), because i think we would of bought about 20 more prints, they were so so cute!

we have our first family portrait coming up on sunday … and there will be a total of 8 of us all piled into a studio for it. i can’t wait! but i really really hope the kids hold out for it – i know grandma & grandpa want a photo with them, my sister wants a photo with them, Regan and I want a photo with them. then there’s the big group shot and then maybe photos on their own. thank goodness we’ve consulted professionals… lol.
i think my baby belly is disappearing … now i’m not organising the I GOT MY BODY BACK parade yet, but i’m glad to be seeing some sort of progress after doing some sort of abdominal exercises EVERY day, even if it’s just 15 minutes a pop. i’m not praying for a miracle, i’m just going to continue putting in the time and effort and it should pay off.
i’m trying to calm myself and focus on 1 project at a time … so i’m starting on my blog & website template design idea and i’m going to stick to it until it’s up and running. i don’t have the funds for what i want to do with sh1ft.org photographic projects, and i want to do that properly, so it will wait but hopefully people will stick with the photo projects in the meantime…
our building a house dream is probably out of reach … but i keep looking for land anyway in hopes that we will find the right place and the right time, for the right price.
my hands are twitching more (on their own) these days … i think it’s time for a decent hand massage
how about you? what have you been up to?
