10:45PM and I can't sleep. . .

I'm FINALLY finishing up edits, card designs, etc. that needed to be done BEFORE Christmas. Next year, I'm definitely going to push my clients to have their holiday sessions EARLY. This month has been CRAZY busy! I'm so PLEASED with this year's Holiday Card Designs (I'll share a few next week.) You would think with completing all of my tasks I'd be able to sleep. But I can't seem to turn my mind off! :-\

Well, no post is complete without pictures. Check out this face:

Isn't so sweet??
When she looks at me like that I can't be mad about this:

If you can't tell, Layla doesn't like to share with her brother and sisters.

I purchased an inexpensive (relatively speaking of course ;-) ) background stand and umbrella to try out studio lighting. Next year, I'll be taking a few classes on the subject and I figured I'd get a head start by practicing a bit. Miss Layla was the only one who would sit for me! She is probably the HARDEST subject I'll ever photograph because it's hard to get the exposure right for all of her black fur especially on an all white background. I don't think I did half bad for my first time.

Hubby and my bro are going to kill me for posting these but here are a few more: (I had to pry their lazy butts of the couch)





Anyone else want to be my practice subject?? :-)
