Marie Q Life Unposed - The Blog

My messages.. my visitors… my e-mails all have one common denominator, “Where have you been”

Let’s see, hmmmmmmmm….. The last two weeks can basically be summarized by either a camera attached to my eye or me attached to a computer. 

Tuesday - I took a technology break for a couple of hours and attempted to put up my Christmas tree at the studio.  Have you ever seen someone make something simple… complicated?  I am a whiz at photoshop.  I can troubleshoot most of my own issues.  I can work on three separate computers simultaneously. Putting up a BRAND NEW pre-lit Christmas Tree translates to Brain Surgery for me.  Cindy at the Dove’s Nest saw me twice taking break from the tree.  I changed out fuses, took out bulbs. Unplugged each strand and connected it directly to the extension chord.  ALAS…. three hours later….. DIRECTIONS.  Connect A to B, B to C, D to E.  Plug in and VOILA a tree with lights. GRRRRRRRR. I wish I would have documented my progress. 

Fight the lights for 2 hours.  Threw the ornaments on the tree TWICE.  Decided to call Christi and asked her to help me.  Christi works her magic - Carolyn, strolls by the studio and she is SUCKED in.  She adds her magic.  At the end of the day a beautiful Christmas tree emerges.

So today I am staying up late for my faithful readers who feel deserted, incomplete, and disconnected without a picture and a post.  I have been guilted into posting today. 

So in no particular order I am going to post some of my sessions. There’s a lot.  I think I should be able to keep up now.

The Morgan Family…  one of the best group of kids I have photographed. They meant business!

The Truetts above and below.  See my new Christmas Tree,  it photographs beautifully.

The Gregory Kids above and Below (more tree - you’ll be seeing a lot of it until Christmas!

Allie had her senior pictures taken at her house.  Like I say… no one else will have pictures like her.

James Bishop, who we tried endlessly to make smile.  Doesn’t matter… still is a cutie with or without a smile.

Beautiful Whitney….  patiently waiting her baby.

If it looks like he is getting ready to slide off… it is because he was.  Though he never did , he liked to hang out like that.

Be Good!!
