Look! there is green stuff in my yard!!





2) green continued....
I love candles. Don't all girls? Espec. Woodwick!!
And this new fragrance... SPRING! and it's GREEN!
If you are in need of a great spring, fresh candle... go pick one up @ Homestead and
tell them I sent you ;)





3) Also wanted to share that 2 of the best stores in MH (the cottage and rusticities)
are combining stores again and having a HUGE sale! Not sure how long it is going on
but I could sure use a couple extra thousand dollars about now...

Food + Great Company = THE BEST!

10) Photography Questions and Answers:
This weeks question: from Trina


Q:
i see that your taking questions on your blog..so heres one for ya..(might have to shorten it up a bit) how do you get rid of the terrible overcast shadows caused by the flash on your camera if theres not enough light to set your camera with the flash off? does a speedlight flash unit help at all? heres a photo to tell you what i mean .. ive even tried setting it on a setting that i can lower my flash compensation on..help!thanks
NOTE: i am not posting her photo due to client privacy.

A:
I never ever ever use my on camera flash. I have a speedlight that I only use @ Weddings ect.
and studio lighting for indoor sessions BUT whenever possible, I use natural light. Of coarse this
isn't always an option so I would suggest you investing in a speedlight. You can get one off of Amazon or Ebay for a couple hundred dollars. You will be amazed at how much of a difference it will make.

That's it my rockstar blog readers ;)
Have a great rest of the week and get ready for 60 degree + weather! woot woot!!
