Gadgets

Remember this post? I orderd it and it arrived yesterday. So within a few weeks our family grew by two magic lenses. And there are some more family members out there, begging for my money, lol.

Besides this amazing lens I got another gadget:

so fun to play with and the best thing is, it combines a mobile phone, music player and a camera in one thing. The camera is really not to bad, up to ISO800 and 5MB Pixel. And besides all his nice features it just looks stylish and classy. What could a girl ask more from a phone?

Living with Nr. 1

It's official now, my husband is Nr. 1!
He made the best result at the exam for sales managers. Means out of over 200 people who did this exam he was the best. I knew before he's smart but now it's official that he's not only smart but at least the smartest sales manager 07/08, haha. Congratulations again to you, you deserve it!

Quick shooting with my most famous model

... yes it's her again. But honestly I think i never get tired of taking and looking at her pictures. She really has got some talent as a model, tough she's way to short to ever be on a runway. But hey, noboday sees your height for picture posing, right?
We only did a very short session as we both freezed like hell, Winter defenitely arrived in Switzerland.

Love the moody winter feeling the pictures have...

Family fun

It was really hard NOT to take good pictures of these good looking family... and you know what, on top on their inner and outer beauty they are really funny, heartful and lovely.

Bling mood

I'm getting in the holiday mood slowly. Today it snowed the whole day long and it is now really winter time. Hot cocoa is just the perfect drink for such a day! And with the holidays aproaching all the stores and shop are glittery and glimmery and I LOVE all the bling. Still not sure what gifts I could give away... any cool ideas?

autumn session

Look at these two sisters, aren't they just georgeous?

Guess the wedding theme...

... yes you guessed, it is a beach wedding theme. Even tough there are no beaches at all in Switzerland due to the lack of sea, people still like to have beach weddings. Two among these people are Isabelle and Manuel who will get married in 3 weeks at a beach in Tasmania. I created their wedding stationary, including cards and placecards. I really like how the things turned out.

upgrade in more than one way

Today was a busy day. Ok not as busy as I still enjoy some leasure time, but quite busy for a half sick lady. I meet up with two very dear friends of mine and I enjoyed the time with these fantastic ladies. I am once more amazed how much one can learn just from a talk with people you like and care! And honestly I did not feel as good as today for a very long time. I somehow have to confess to myself that during the past few weeks before I stopped working at "the company" I got stressed on a level beyond the surface. And I now also assume that my sickness was just a normal reaction of my body to all the stupid and ugly things that happened. But the nice thing is, now I can move forward. Focus on what I really enjoy and believe in: Design and Photogrpahy.

A few minutes ago I also installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 and it's just sooo nice to work again with the newest version of the Adobe Products. You may think there's not much difference, but for me it is just so much more comfortable!

And I got a nice surprise! My sister gave me a really beautyful bound book I will use for some of my projects. She's just so sweet. Thank you for surprising me!

Oh and by the way, Ratatouille was a blast! Really cute movie and not to mention the premovie which was just too hilarious. Go and see both if you haven't yet.
