Hampton Roads Navy Birthday Ball

Been a while since I posted. But just found out that the date for the Navy Birthday Ball this year for Hampton Roads will be Oct. 24th.
The time is 6pm-1130 and no child care offered.
It will be held at Rockwell Hall on NAB Little Creek.
I guess this will be dh's birthday dinner again.
I sure hope I can drop atleast 10 pounds between now and then. Hope to see some of you there :D

Spouting Horn Kauai

Here are just a couple of images from Hawaii, far from my favorites I am sure I have clients I have to work on first. But here are a couple just the same. The underwater ones were shot with a P&S which I am not good with lol. P&S's are just too slow for me.
Just the same they were shot with the Canon D10. It is a nice little underwater camera. I would have prefered taking my DSLR under instead but the insurance company didn't want to cover the housing I wanted, so I opted to just buy and underwater camera instead. The kids love that I did too. I am pretty sure I have atleast one photographer in the making. Austin shot many photos on the Home of the Brave tour, especially the Arizona Memorial and most of them turned out pretty good. Since all three of them want to shoot all the time, I will be incorporating photography into their lessons this year. This camera though takes a beating and keeps on ticking. We dropped it a couple of times I believe. It was smashed up against the rocks and coral several times while snorkeling. And the boat ride with Holo holo from the "Forbidden" Island across the channel was choppy to say the least, so it got tossed around a couple of times onboard too.

This is one headpiece I will be using in the fairy photos.

Here are some photos of a few props that I use in my business. I have many more and will update as I get to more of them. Sorry for the bad quality, they were done on my P&S. The dresses are Fairy Costumes for my upcoming Fairy Day.
