Change Change Change

Hi There!

As you can see, I have decided to make a few changes to the blog. I thought I would try a new layout. I've been working on it for a few hours, and I think I have most of the kinks ironed out (except I can not figure out the stupid links for the About, Contact, FAQ sections...oh well. I might just go without)My coding skills are quite lackluster so if you see any problems, let me know!

Also, I noticed that I have more fans and more people reading the blog lately. That's quite exciting to me! I enjoy being able to share the projects I do. Mostly because I don't do them for money (yet...maybe someday in a land far far away) so it's the only way I can share them with the world.

As a result of these new fun developments, I have enabled the comments feature. I had disabled it for the past year, but I think it's time to accept some comments. We shall see if anyone actually comments or just visits. I'm happy with either.

Enjoy my blog! Soon, I will be posting some new projects I did. I started a few too many at once, and I have only photographed them partially. I still need to photograph my finished products.

PIN Auction

Hi Everyone!

Happy Monday everyone! I wanted to let any fans who read my blog (and I
have no illusions its a large number) know that I have donated a
photography session to the Public Interest Network Silent Auction which
is Thursday, February 4th at 7:00 pm at the Eagles.

The Public Interest Network (PIN) is an organization at the law school.
The organization raises funds in order to give grants to students. These
grants allow students to take public interest internships that would
normally pay nothing. For more information or to donate visit:
http://elizabethburleson.com/PublicInterest.html

If you are the winning bidder, you can choose from the following sessions:




Smile.
This is a portrait session. Think senior pictures, maternity, head
shots, children or boudoir. Just you, me and the camera.



Promise.
This is our engagement session.



Kin.
This is the family session I offer. Two to eight family members. You can also add the dogs.

All sessions will be held outdoors unless some prior arrangement is
made. (This condition is due to the labor of hanging my backdrop. Being
6 months pregnant, I'm trying to avoid lifting the backdrop at all costs.)

All sessions include 7 picture touch-ups, 2 disks with all pictures (both raw and touched-up) and a copyright release for all images.

The session must be redeemed by May 7, 2010 or the winning bidder must
be willing to wait until late June or early July to redeem. I'm due May
21st and I'm guessing I might not want to take pictures right after
childbirth. Weird I know. ;)

These sessions range in price from $60 to $100 normally.

In addition to donating a photography session, I am in the process of making both therapy sacks and coffee cozies to be auctioned off. These are being made under my craft blog.



If you have any questions about the auction, please don't hesitate to
e-mail me at kristambenson@gmail.com. I won't be at the auction since
I'll be out of town starting Thursday through Monday.

DIY Wednesday: Baby Gifts

Hi There,

I try to write posts ahead of time so I can try to keep up with the DIY Wednesdays. When I first did this post, I talked about how one of my good friends was also pregnant. But as of two days ago, she isn't pregnant and is a new mom! Her little baby boy, Colin was born on the 19th.

So, I redrafted this post as a bit of a welcome to the world Colin post. We had a joint shower in December and I made her some burp cloths (that are blue...I guessed correctly that it was a boy!) and a scrapbook. I made the scrapbook in a Jungle theme to match her nursery theme. I left the pages open to add pictures since she'll probably be way too busy with a new baby to scrapbook. Hopefully, this helps her keep up a little bit.

Anyways, Congratulations Eli and Angie! Enjoy your new parenthood!
