The Lady Photographer Thread

I totally understand. I got LR last year for my anniversary and just LOVED it. I still do and there are things that I like better about it than PS, but I am blown away with what I can do with my photoshop cs6 and I'm sure I'm barely using it to it abilities. Thanks for the help EBG! Oh, and if you ever need help with your LR-just let me know. I'm sure there are others out there that are far better at it than I am but I can do a lot with it. Good luck getting that reading done.

Thanks Amber.
Oh, I celebrated my 7th 29th birthday in May. For some reason I don't look 29 anymore
On a separate note. I am at work and my husband came in and saw me typing on here (we work together). He noticed my name EastBayGirl.
Now he is teasing me.

LOL!! Yeah, I'm kind of dreading this 29th birthday. When my husband and I got married (I was 22), he said that he'd trade me in for two 18 yr olds when I turned 36 and now that's only a little over a year away. However, he's 41 so I know that he would find just ONE 18 yr old girl annoying let alone TWO. Not to mention the fact that I'm in MUCH better shape than most 18 yr olds nowadays. Regarding your husband teasing you about your name, I think my husband would say that mine fits me perfectly. That or "Photography Junky".

Amber: follow this to learn how to attach a photo. Remember to size it correctly (you can size for web in PS & Lightrm)

Age is just a number, Ladies I am very active, take care of 2 little boys, play ball, ride my bike & hike a bit and I am in my mid-50's. I feel pretty good & try to live a healthy lifestyle even if I do have to have chocolate
I think the key is to make sure you stay interested in things and have something to always look forward to.

Exciting! We're now 38 weeks gestation with baby #3 .... I feel like she could come any day. People are taking bets to see if we make it to 40 weeks. Joshua (my 3 year old) appears to understand that another sister is coming. Grace (my 21 month old) will be in for an awakening!

Wow sweetpea! You're going to be one busy Mama! Exciting news for you too Maureen!

Danielle will be one week overdue on Thursday..... this kid is way too comfy in there

Hi Amber! You have some really lovely pictures in your gallery.

And yeah, I'm also 29... for the Nth year in a row

Thanks Tessa! Sounds like I'm in good company too. Maureen, my firstborn was a week late also...I was ready to KILL my doctor. Maybe you'll get lucky and the little one will decide to come today.

Whoa... the weather has been hovering around 40F for almost a month - so now it's dropping to 0F for the weekend. And it looks like this will last for a while. I wanted winter to come, but not this suddenly and with such cold temps. *brrr*

Sounds cold Tess, keep warm. We woke up this morning to really weak power. Must have gone off at some point earlier and killed my alarm clock. Thankfully my husband doesn't sleep well and he woke me up. Just in time for the power to go completely out. Took a shower and got ready in the dark. Today is a hat and no makeup day to say the least. Killing time on my phone till we have to leave. Our problem is that we are the only house on this power line. Takes forever for pg&e to figure that out. We have major wind and rain for the next couple days. I have a feeling I am going to come home to no power tonight. Looks like take out for dinner.

I couldn't imagine going a week over! We have a scheduled C section planned on our due date in December .... 12/12/12. Praying everything goes well for Danielle! Tomorrow is my sister-in-law's birthday!

Well she has her epidural in & she is trying to get a little sleep before the pushing part comes; she is about half way dilated. I came home & will go back after she has him. My oldest daughter is the only one invited in for the delivery & that is fine with me.

He finally made it after 6 days overdue & 26 hours of labor 7 lbs. 9 oz,
19".

Meet Tristan James (taken with my daughter's cell phone.... we can't get into see him until her recovery is over in about an hour).
