Sneak Peak for S.

Saturday I had the pleasure to do a second photoshooting of my dear friend S. She is so beautyful even with the huge bump she is currently carrying around :) And I was so happy to have finally a reason to use my 5d! I love, love, love, love this camera. Not that the 400d does bad pictures, it is just different and i am in love with it.

It arrived!

I am now the proud owner of a 5d (ok technically i was it from the moment I made the payment, I know, but now as I hold the camera in my hands I really belive I own it). And she is so fantastic! Such a difference to the 400d (which I still love as she is my first camera love). I am so giddy to shoot something but sadly there was not much to capture (husband and tomcat both disappeared in the second my camera hung around my neck, how come?)

Have to say this is really a cool week so far! Just finished the proofing of two sessions (still 3 to go...), got my 5d, 2 thunderstorms (love them, but only when I'm save at home) and the best of it, my husband cooked for me on Monday for Lunch! Super delicous pasta with salmon sauce, loved it. Really hope he's surprising me some more with his superyummy food *wink*. And the week is still going on, next Monday is off due to a holiday means already a good start for next week and some more time for me to get some proofing done...

Who has...

... the best husband ever?
... ordered a 5d!!!
... the coolest clients?
... spent a wonderful day with a caring and loving husband just because yesterday?
... and just because its so cool, ordered a 5d!!!!


yes, guys you guess it. The lucky girl who has all these cool things am I!
Yesterday was just an amazing day. First I had a fotoshooting in the morining with M. She is really sweet and cool. Got some really nice pics. Then I had Brunch with my husband. We enjoyed his homemade braided butter bread (a typical swiss specialty, if you wanna see a picture google for "Züpfe"). Then we went to Mediamarkt to buy a bigger memory card for my camera. My cutiepie of hubby then asked me if I would like to go for a walk down at the river. I certainly could not resist... when driving there we talked about the new camera. We knew we need a second one for backup but were not sure which one it should be. We agreed it would not make sense to buy two similar cameras so the 400d was out of the race. Left are the 30d and the 5d. Beside the big price difference there were many cons and pros for each. But I knew if I could just decide it would be the 5d. It is just perfect. So lucky as I am my husband agreed on buying one! After we returned I went directly to the internet site where I saw it for a very good price and ORDERED it! Yep, now I have to wait til it arrives... hopefully it will be soon that I get my new camera to play with. Then in the late afternoon I had another shooting with S. Also really cute girl and very easy to do. I just recongnised that I have to go to the office tomorrow to proof the pictures as here with PSCS2 I have not all the possibilities I have with PSCS3. I did not notice a huge difference, just until now. For proofing RAW CS3 is way better!

So girls, one more day to wait till you get some sneak peak of your pictures... sorry for that.

Some Impressions of my last shooting

Isn't he just the sweetest little cuddlebug? It was really a joy to capture him even tough he was not too happy most of the time as his teeth are growing.

AEzine Challenge

After beeing so lazy and not posting for a whole week. I will show you now a layout I created for the Ali Edwards AEzine Challenge. We were ment to use products which lay araound and are never used. As I started scrapbooking only 1.5 years ago there is not too much very old stuff. And as I have anyway problems to use my material ata all to create a page I tought it is time to a) use my material and b) create a layout. As far as I can remember the only layouts I created were for challenges or classes... Seems like I have big problems to just create layouts for me without reason. I always have the feeling I have nothing to scrap about than myself and that is somewhat boring. So I am grateful for challenges like these who help me kicking my ass to get some layouts done. And remember due to my HSBPS class I even started my beloved hobby photography. Must be some reason for that.

one more...

Look at this. Almost a whole week no post and then two the same day... This is so me.
I almost forgot to post my April layto of my HSBPS class. But I guess better late than never.

The challenge was to create a page for a party layout without having the pictures first. Boy, this was a real challenge...

Oh boy, May already! Time is flying...
And there is so much going on both at work and also with my photography. So happy for this challenge!

Here are some pictures of my first paid shooting. Really like the way how the pictures turned out. And I certainly had a very beautyful model to capture! Looking very much forward to my next shootings on Thursday and Friday...
