*WARNING* Curves Ahead

... I'm not kidding, don't read all the way through this if you're uncomfortable with too much skin.

So, I have to tell you, I haven't been entirely honest with you. I actually have had dozens of vivid dreams that I remember well enough to post about. The problem is that my dreams have been wildly violent. I was just worried that they would be too disturbing. The truth is, that's one of the big reasons I really thought we had a boy on the way. My theory is that these dreams are the result of my subconscious getting dosed with a bit of testosterone. If it wasn't a boy, then I just didn't have any good explanation for all the action, so I'm rather relieved about the way things have turned out.

I celebrated yesterday by going out and making my first baby purchase. Brought home a little Star Wars onesie for Blaine along with a pecan pie for dessert. I think it all made him pretty happy!

In the midst of prepping for our adventure out to LA, I got distracted in the studio again. Spent all night trying to work out how to do the rim lighting technique I use to love so much. I think I've almost got it, but it's REALLY hard to do for self portraits. I hope I get some brave mommas in the future who'll let me take pictures of them instead so I can really nail this one down.




Okay, without being able to tweak the lighting and frame the composition... I end up with this. It totally looks like Alfred Hitchcock & makes me giggle!
