So we’re on vacation this week. As you’re reading this, we are probably in the car. Listening to the most annoying voices ever from the backseat (die, Max & Ruby … DIE!), eating our picnic lunch WAY too early (ahem, Keli), having your adorable wife read emails and facebook posts out loud when she’d much rather be reading a book (ahem, Ken) and stopping to pee every 15 minutes (she’s 3 … I’m pregnant … your guess is as good as mine).
I’m always nervous to post that we’re away from our house in case someone decides to break in, but let me set some things straight.
a. we don’t have anything worth stealing,
b. trust me, we don’t buy expensive electronics or gadgets or artwork or jewelry,
b. if you do break in, please clean up after yourself, because the *last* thing i want to do is clean up YOUR mess when we get home.
Besides that, we are too cheap to board our dogs, so we have someone staying at our house with our two ferocious dogs.
No, seriously.
They’re, like, insanely mean. See?
No, wait.
Okay, here’s Macey in her most heightened state of awareness.
Oops, that’s not it, either.
All right … just make sure you do NOT throw a stick!
Well, unless you want her to chase it over and over again.
Okay, okay.
Whatever you do … don’t let your kids anywhere near them! There is no telling what they’ll do!!
Ugh. NEVERMIND.
While we’re away, I’ve got some scheduled posts ready to go, including one from one of the coolest chicks I know who I pretty much want to be in another life. I mean, besides the fact that we’re practically twins already.
But I thought I’d do something a little different on the blog this week …
That’s right. Anything. Shoot me some questions.
Within reason. Nothing perverted. Or weird. Or about my current weight.
You can ask about photography or camera equipment or editing programs or what I did before I had kids or sewing or how I can lick my own elbows or what I do in my spare time or exactly what I did to become so awesome. You know, the usual.
At the end of the week (probably during the 10-hour drive back home next Saturday), I’ll go through and answer them.
And please ask something. Because there’s really nothing more embarrassing than opening up the floor for questions and then hearing … *crickets*
In the meantime, watch out for these two.
They will totally rip your head off.
You know, after they roll around in some dead grass and lick themselves.

Have a fabulous vacation! I will try not to rob your house. The dogs are certainly terrifying. Not.
My questions are about newborns since that is clearly on my mind (and bladder, ribs, pelvis). What was the most challenging part of having a newborn in your life for the first time and what was the most wonderful thing?
Safe travels!
You’re funny Keli… I’ll be back later with a question.

Wishing you the best of times on your vacation!
Here’s your question… if you could pick one spot in your house that is your favorite spot to photography your little one… where is it? & Why?
My question… Do you delete photos after you upload and only keep the best/good ones? I take so many shots of something. upload and end up keeping all in my photos. I wondered if you know exactly which ones to delete or if you are like me and think you can crop, enhance, do whatever to any picture so you keep them all??

My question is:
How many photographs do you think you’ll take of the new baby each day? Just an average guesstimate is fine :P

love the post! ;-)
1. What is your dream lens?
2. What happened to the good ol’ Olympus?
3. How are you liking your 50d?
4. What are your favourite actions/textures?
Yes Keli, I would like to know how you lick your elbow! Seems an impossible feat to me :)
i am with joanna! what are your favorites?! lenses, actions, textures, photography website!
Oh dear, those puppies are terrifying! How can you trust them with your soon to be infant! I’m frightened. :p
Questions!
1) How did you get to be so awesome?
2) How much do you love me?
3) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
4) You are given a $50 gift card to anywhere and you HAD to purchase something for yourself and only for yourself. Where would it be for and what would you buy?
<3 Love you!
I just got Lightroom. Teach me how to use it? (yes, that’s a question)
Also, Anna and Noah think you are super talented with your blanket/quilt making skills. Anna wants to know if she can lay on it. Can she?
(THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT!)

HI! I forgot to post my question…….
how the heck do you save all your photos once you finish editing them in PS?
Do you save the original version also, or only the edited version?
Do you have a way you file them so you can find them easily?
Hi, I am so sorry, but I forgot my most important question…..
when you put a watermark on your photo, do you save an original without it in case you want to print it out one day? Or do you just take it off later? How do you do that if you save your pic as a jpeg instead of the photoshop version?
Hey there, friend! I too am a secret blog stalker! :) Your photos are amazing, and I REALLY want to get better at taking my own photos. Anyway, I have a (late) question for you . . . when did you decide to stay home with Emma full-time? Did you leave for maternity leave and never go back or did you go back for a while and then make that decision? And how did y’all make that work financially (without me getting too much into your business)? I’ve been back to work now almost 3 months and am really struggling with it. I want nothing more than to stay home with Hayden, but just don’t think it’s possible for us . . .I mean, the girl’s gotta have clothes and I’ll eventually have to buy her food! Maybe if I stalk your blog a little longer I can make some money taking pictures! ;)
