gina's home.parties.life. - ps. I am not sure if you have ever mentioned it on here, but I am taking the HUMONGOUS step of investing in a DSLR and photo editing
and would really appreciate if you could share what camera you have, what are the MUST HAVE accessories you suggest (there seems to be hundreds of lens, etc and what photo editing software you use.
My daughters are very talented with my in between a point and shoot and a DSLR camera and picnic- My oldest has taken senior portraits for her friends who cant afford professional ones – and they were approved to be published in the yearbook! and photography and graphic art has given my autistic 14 year old a way to communicate and express herself – her work with just her itouch and instagram has been amazingly beautiful and she is building quite the following (if I do say so myself) – I’d love to see what they could create with the “right” tools.
gina's home.parties.life. - HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! 36 SOUNdS VERY YOUNG, compared to the 38 I am turning on FRIDAY. 😉

Lyndsey Sander - Happy Birthday! I love your blog, however, I think this is the first time I’ve commented. I live in the Wichita area and I’m interested in getting some family pics taken soon. My son turns one in November. Do you have any available sessions? Also, could you e-mail me your pricing information? My e-mail address is lyndseysander@gmail.com
Heather R. - Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you got spoiled rotten.
Nichole - Due to family tradition, once you hit 42 you can stay there forever. This is only because I can never remember how old my mom is, so she’s always 42. (I think it’s been… more than 8 years now?)
Hope your birthday is really good!

Love your recent downloads. I know more of them than I thought I would. Knee Deep was our Summer 2011 anthem. I’ll never forget my daughter and I sitting in our beach chairs in the surf watching the guys swim in the ocean when she took her ear buds out and put them in my ears. She put on Knee Deep, turned it up and told me to listen while she joined the boys for a swim. I know people must have thought I was loony lying there with my eyes closed and a big ole grin on my face. Enjoy those tunes!
Polderkolder - Happy birthday!
Kat - Happy b’day Meg! 36 sounds young to me as a 39 year old 😉
