I have been having such a hard time focusing on design today. My mind keeps moving over to photography. I feel like I have spent the last 24 hours surfing the internet finding some of my favorite photographers. Man, there is a lot of talent out there!! I have a running list of favorites, but some new ones I found that just AWE me are:

Peta Mazey

Kate Powers

Amy Parrish

Just to name a few ;)
I think I am just anxious. Tomorrow evening is one of my first REAL gigs.  Three babies under the age of two.. YEP. I may be a glutton for punishment. So today, I really tried to be productive and work on the designs I was supposed to be working on.  But I just couldn’t get this upcoming session out of my head. Tonight I brought the girls to the location I am going to be shooting tomorrow for some test shots. (I know, I should just chill, right??)

We were only out for about an hour and I got quite a few great shots of them, so that at least restored some of my confidence a bit :) I was using my 85 MM 1.2, but I am not sure if it will work the same for moving babies..  We shall see.. Bringing back-up lenses just in case ;)

And on the caterpillar front. Yikes. Turns out we need a little practice with these too.. Out of the 30 caterpillars only 16 have lived. We have moved the chrysalises  into the pop up habitat and now we wait for 7-10 days for them to emerge.  Even though nearly half of the little buggers didn’t make it, the girls are still really enjoying watching them and taking care of them. I will keep you updated! :)

Now, off to actually get some designing done today.

Ready, set, GO!
