Have You Ever Been the Wedding Photographer?

Hi Neighbors,

As you know from previous posts I was just the photographer at a friends wedding. My 14 year old daughter was actually my assistant and used the second camera. Between us we took over 700 pictures of the wedding, the guests, and some special shots. I personally would love to do a photo book or some other special photo related gift using some of the pictures taken at the wedding.

They were really on a strict budget, and I wanted them to remember their wedding with some really special photos. I think we managed to catch some of those special moments. I am actually hoping to do more weddings, and I think my daughter made a great assistant.

Since I have become more interested in the photography aspect, I have been searching different websites to find different ideas to help enhance the wedding. Did you know you can have wedding stamps made? I didn't. You can use a theme or a picture of the engaged couple on a stamp to mail your wedding invitations. Now isn't that a neat idea! You can also have special stamps made after the wedding from some of your favorite photos. I think we took several pictures that would look great on a stamp.

Anyway, both my daughter and I are both going to be working on improving our photography skills, so my neighbors here will be hearing more an probable seeing more of our experiments. Take a look at the couple of pictures I have added and leave a comment letting me know what my neighbors think. I value your opinion. See you At the Fence!

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog for wedding stamps and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

I love that first photo, too! I've attended many Long Island weddings, but haven't covered one as a photographer. I think you're off to a good start though, keep up the good work!

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
