Blissfully Unaware of the Chaos that Surrounds Me

Cheater Post . . .

I have about 75 things to post about, along with pictures for the whole lot of them. Family visit, our Shannon's wedding, San Francisco, GG's party, Halloween, my Mom's birthday, etc.

What I don't have, however, is the time to do it! At least not this morning!

So, what I do have time for is to link up the "tease" to our family portraits:

Kimberly Stone Photography

I think that given what she had to work with, it looks like she did an amazing job! I met Kimberly when she shoot Lauren's wedding and decided right there and then that she needed to shoot our family. I have been dying to re-do the wall in our living room with some big canvases and I think that we'll be able to do that with some of her shots. I'm excited! Of course, now that she's given me a tease, I just want more. Guess that's why it's called a tease, huh?

And now, I need to pull it together. Lunches made, get dressed and get on the road. I'm actually craving my quiet commute today.

Because while I love this bunch like crazy? Quiet, they are not.

A Quandary . . . Need Opinions Please!

OK, I fought the idea of getting a digital SLR.  After I caved in that arena, I fought the idea of digitally enhancing photos.  Um . . . anyway . . .

There are so many ways to manipulate photos.  I know what I like, but it's usually dependent on what I'm going to do with the photo.  Am I printing for Grandma?  Am I making a canvas?  An artsy-fartsy image or a standard print?

Here's my quandary . . . how do I know what a client (i.e., a PAYING client) might like the best?  Do I impose my desires onto them?  Or do I pander about and spend hours with options and discussions and color variances?

So here is my experiment . . . I know that you all HATE to comment, but too bad!  You must comment on this post or, well, I will be irritated!  Just tell me which option you would want, if it were your child, or which option(s) you would want . . . some or all.

Be honest, but nice (i.e., don't say, "they're all ugly and you suck!")!  Starting with number 1 on the left and progressing to number 4 on the right.  Comment, dammit.  Please?
