Ordered a BIG Gallery Wrapped Canvas {Check out these Pictures}
A few weeks ago I ordered my 2nd ever gallery wrapped canvas. Years ago I got my 1st one and it was 16×20 from a company that just makes canvases. I loved the color and image but the quality was not amazing (the back was not finished and it just looked incomplete). Well this time I decided to…
Ellie and Jenna want to know… Do you prefer them in Color or B&W (and why?)
Yesterday I used a flat iron on Ellie and Jenna’s hair for the 1st time – they fell in love – and even let me take photos! So today when I edited, they were trying to decide if they prefer black and white or color. Ellie said to me, “can you post some of these…
Go Cuse * The Cuse is in the House! * Cheer on Syracuse Tonight

Fan Share – Another Customer Playing with “All in the Details”
Photographers are LOVING the results from the new “All in the Details” action set. Since I am away I thought I would show you another “fan share.” My customer wrote: Jodi, I haven’t ever shared a before and after with you….because I guess I have always been a little apprehensive since I am still such an…
5 Silly Photos ~ Thank You All for Sharing ~ Plus Live From San Diego
We are on vacation this week in San Diego. It has been kinda crazy. Those of you who follow me on Facebook and/or Twitter may have already heard. On Friday I went to my twins’ school for their Valentine’s Party. In Ellie’s class, 7 kids were sent home sick with the stomach flu, and others had…
Getting Ready for The Wedding Day * My Little Sister Gets Married
Last weekend I got to see my youngest sister get married. It was such a fun, festive event. I took photos all day in the “bridal” getting ready suite. And then put my camera away. So unless the wedding photographers allow me to post a few of their photos here, you may not get to see…
In Memory of a Great Man – Papa D
This post is in memory of my Papa D. He was my husband’s grandfather (and made me feel like he was mine too). Papa D had a severe stroke Monday and passed away last night at 93 years of age. He will be missed. His smile. His warm hugs. His laughter and zest for life. We will miss…
My American Girls * Sharing a Fun Experience
As you may know if you read my blog, my twins LOVE American Girl. Most of their holiday gifts and birthday gifts were American Girl a few weeks ago. When we were in Atlanta last weekend for my sister’s wedding, we had the opportunity to go to the Bistro and Store. My now Brother-in-Law’s Mom…
Ideas for the new year – please tell me what you want to see from MCP in 2009
I am out of town through Sunday with my family, then back home for 2 days, and then out of town again for 5 days for my sister’s wedding. So I will be busy and away from my computer a lot to say the least. I will have it with me, and I will try…

Another Tooth Fairy Report… Jenna lost her first tooth, sort of…
A few weeks ago Jenna said her tooth was loose. She was very excited. A few days later she asked me to see how loose it was. I noticed that she had an almost fully grown tooth growing behind it. I was not super concerned. But since I had a dentist appointment tonight for my…
Our Magical Disney World Trip
We were very fortunate to go to Disney World last week. Ellie and Jenna had the best time. Here are some highlights of our trip. Some were taken with the Canon 40d and some just with a point and shoot. Did very quick post processing with these since they are snapshots (just ran through color…

Before and After * In Color and Black and White
I often get asked “what do your “straight out of camera shots” look like. So here is one I took in a dark basement using my 580ex flash. I dragged the shutter and this was the result out of the camera. The exposure was good and it did not look too flashy. But it lacked…

Happy Thanksgiving * What are you thankful for?
I have never been as into Thanksgiving as I am this year. What changed? My twins’ 1st grade class did a ton of projects around the Thanksgiving theme. They were so excited to learn what it was like when the Pilgrims came over and what it was like to be a Native American as well. …
