Our playdate was canceled this morning and because we had to do something, I loaded the kids up and we headed out of our normal stomping grounds for a little bit of location scouting!!

Well, this was after we stopped in at the salon I go to and then popped over to Sonic for some bribery…slushes and tater tots! My models were starving and we can’t have hungry kids for a photo shoot!

So everything went PERFECT! I found three great new places to shoot at, got some darling images of the kids, and in the midst of it we had fun! It is nice to get out of the house and go somewhere different sometimes.

All was well until I started uploading my pictures to the computer. Wouldn’t ya know that earlier in the week I changed the white balance setting and forgot to change it back? My pictures, every last one of them, is blue. Blue, blue, blue. See?

Thank goodness it was just on my own kids and wasn’t a client!! Not that I actually have clients yet, but you know what I mean!! That was a lesson learned the hard way for sure and something I will DEFINITELY remember to check from now on! I rarely even change it but was playing around a few days ago and then forgot to reset it!

I was planning to share more, but I don’t have the time to edit them all since they are requiring some extra work and still don’t look that great!! But, I have babbled on so much this week that I wanted to post at least a couple in my awesome new locations!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this wall! It is just a foot or two high, but it is so cute and so vintage-y feeling!!

So, do you see Huntler’s shirt? It has to be like my favorite shirt of his, ever. It is so big boyish and so darn cute!! {We bought it at Pumpkin Patch for anyone who is wondering!} He seems to like it too! I put it on him last week {when I planned to take him out for photos but got rained out} and he asked if he could wear it to school the next day! Sorry buddy, it is too good to get ruined by red paint!!

And here is another! This place is the one closest to our house {still like 20 minutes away though!} and SO boy! There are all sorts of {huge} dead trees on their sides to climb up and on. I can SO see some shots of a daddy holding his little guy’s hand as he helps him balance down the length of the tree! You can bet I will be washing this outfit of Huntler’s and loading up our daddy and sweet boy again {and Gentry too} for another trip down there!!

This particular shot is actually in a little cut out of a tree…as in the trunk. SO COOL! While I was somewhat worried about snakes and scorpions at this locale, the real threat was the prisoners!! There is a prison not too far from where we were! And no, I wasn’t really worried about an escapee! Chris just mentioned that it was awfully close to the prison when I told him where I was going!

And Gentrini-Beanie. I had to ask the restaurant if I could stick my kids behind the rails to shoot! It was early and there wasn’t a soul around so they let me!! They LOVED peeking out of this green gate!!

So there is what we did today! Now I need to get some emails returned and stuff done!! I need this to be a REALLY REALLY productive weekend!!
