I have a new addition coming and what an exciting new addition it is. It is the Canon 16-35mm wide angle lens. Let’s just say I have been seduced by it’s beautiful way of capturing the whole image and it’s 2.8 f-stop which produces brilliant bokeh. My friend Debbie recommended it over the 24-70mm I…
I just found the Jasmine Star Photography blog last night and have been going through the archives reading every post. I just love the way she captures couples and her photos are so crisp and vibrant. She also has a great sense of humor. If you enjoy photography, be sure to check out her blog….
Saw you on J*s site and I must agree, this girl is something special. When I first started following my passion for photography J* was always there and quick to respond to my inquiries. She’s great! I love your watermark. This may seem like a dumb question, but do you think you can show me how you did it? I just customized my LR thanks to you! Cute blog:)
Ah I love her! She did a live chat awhile back and she was soooo hilarious! Seriously funny (and useful) info!
I found out some exciting news today, Red Mary Janes from the Seventh Diamond received Sophia Jane’s referral last week. RMJ has done so much for others during the long wait for her daughter and has been such an inspiration to me. RMJ cannot show Sophia’s picture yet, but check out her feet, she is…
Love the glasses on your sweet Sophia! She is so stinking talented. What a little cutie you have.
That new blog you created is gorgeous.
Sofia is such a character. I’m sure she keeps you entertained.
I can’t balance a spoon on MY nose. And I”m supposed to be an adult. LOL!
Woo hoo about the talking! You go, Sofia!
Glad your visit with your Mom was good. I love the snow angel. Lil Orchid is still giggling over the spoon trick and her Jerry Lewis glasses. She won't let me sign off, she wants to see Sofia over & over 
I love the new blog look! And that spoon trick is awesome!
“hey lady” hahaha! Love those glasses!
I would love to hear more about your processing techniques, if you’re interested in sharing!
Love the spoon trick. So cute. But what is Yo Gaba Gaba? Never heard of it.
Glad to see you back, but glad you spent good time with your mom. Wish I could do that. She still works full time.
Dallas’ blog is awesome! Of course!!!
The pictures are fabulous! I love the balancing act, and especially the glasses what a hoot!
I’m so glad you had a great visit with your mom. We are counting down the days until Landree and I head to TX for a few days and then her Grandma will be here the next week. So fun!
Jen
ROTFL, I can’t believe she can balance a spoon on her nose, adorable!!
Love the photos, going to hop on over to your friends blog.
Glad you had a nice time with your Mom…
oh so cute!!! the spoon trick already!! watch out….gotta go check out all these links…….:)
So funny – spoon on nose! Love it!
Glad you had a nice visit with your mom and yes, I’d love to see your workflow.
Great job on Dallas’ blog.
Hugs,
Carla
Thank you so much! I just love this post. We are so excited.
I can’t believe little Sofia can balance a spoon on her nose…I can’t do that either 
I found a very cool tip to personalize the dashboard in Lightroom. If you use Lightroom, you can go to Edit, Identity Plate Setup and add your own personalized text or logo. Here is a shot of one style I tried and then a shot of the one I finally settled on (the 2nd one)….
Wow! I just came across your blog, it’s awesome! Amazing design!! Love the LR tip, too
I’ll be back!
Oh Thank you for the little hints here. I wanted lightroom but having enough of a hard time learning photoshop. Great photos though!
Ivy
I LOVE your new blog! Very pretty and I too was going to suggest doing blog designs! I’d hire you too!
Sophia looks beautiful!
You are amazing, so, so, smart!
Love and blessings, Kristy
Jonni I LOVE it..
I don’t know how to link you to my facebook!!!!! Try looking up friends ….I’m Carol A. Wood…I think they put me under Washington,DC……does that help???…
You should design blogs for a living, your amazing!!
Congrats on your LID, that’s fantastic!!
Girl…you simply amaze me. I know I say that all the time…but you do. I just recieved my LR today in the mail…(Thanks Mom).
I just went and downloaded that awesome font. I love that font…thanks for sharing. Now I’m going to load LR onto my laptop and play some more. Thanks for passing along such great things Jonni. Also…hee hee…I spelled your name wrong in my last post. I’m so sorry about that. My brain is so fogged up these days. I am so sorry.
wow, cool….is that LRv1.4 or v2??? gotta try it!!!! btw, thanks for the heads up on the CS4 thingy…I haven’t upgraded yet…saving $$$ for other things….but it doesn’t mean I’m going to stop learning!!!!
I am thrilled to finally be done with the blog redesign and decided to go for a a little something different than what I usually do. I am feeling pretty creative this week and want to help a friend with her blog and I am hoping to start that project tonight. I have also fallen…
Congrats on your LID!!!! One step closer, albeit the start of a MARATHON. LOL. (Not really laughing here though.)
The photos of your little Sofia are gorgeous.
She is just the cutest thing!! I love her skirt!
Congrats on the LID. Your photos are fab as always and I love, love, love, Sofia’s skirt. It’s beautiful and I might just need one for Emilija – whenever that may be.
Congrats on the LID. Love the outfit Sofia is wearing. She is adorable as always. Your blog design is great also. So talented.
Beautiful pictures…she is so pretty!!
Stunning photos of your beauty…looking at you or not.
Your photographs are beautiful!!!! Congratulations on your LID (12/22 is Steven's b-day!)
LOVE the new design–and following your journey & life with Sofia!
Love, Maureen
Jonni ~ I LOVE the blog redesign. It is gorgeous! And, most importantly, congrats on your LID.
Wow, and LID, a pretty new skirt, AND a new blog design. Life is clipping along for you it seems
Just a question, are you doing the Waiting Child program for this adoption? If you are, are you looking at the same needs as last time on your list or did you change your list? I’m taking an informal poll . . .
We are all so HAPPY for You & your LID, Sofia will make a great big sister. Again Thanks for your encouragement, I knew I loved Lil Orchid in that skirt but the skirt & colors on Sofia Blow Me Away. Well I guess the fact that Sofia is beautiful doesn't hurt none.
Thanks again for your friendship.
By the way everytime I log on I have to sit there and rewatch Sofia photo's float by, They draw me in everytime. Beautiful!!
Love of the pics of your darling girl! Congrats on taking the photography class and your LID>
The skirt is awesome.
I thought you were going to do SN again? Nope?
CONGRATS on your LID!!!!! You are ALWAYS busy, aren’t you? ANd I LOVE the skirt too!!!!
Love your new look! Beautiful as always!!! I can’t imagine your photography getting any better! It’s fabulous already! Oh, and Sophie’s little skirt is so cute!
Congrats on your LID!
Opps, I forgot to tell you…
Congradulations on your LID.
O’My Word…O’My Word!!!!!
Jonie, your blog redesign is so beautiful. You amaze me with all that talent you have. You have made your baby girl just shine on your blog. She is just precious, and your photography….is just got that “WoW Factor” going on.
You simply amaze me Jonie.
Very well done…it’s beautiful.
Cute, cute, cute!!!! Love that skirt!
And CONGRATS on your LID!!!! How exciting!
amazing grace - OOOoohhhh very fun! congratulations!!! love my wide angle!
Norah - What a lovely new addition!
Spahulu Photography - Thanks Jonni for ur compliments. Sofia is a doll and she looks like a natural in front of the camera. The lil’ 1 yr old I had over the weekend definitely gave me a good work out and showed me just how hard photography can be when you work with the unexpected:) Can’t wait for your lens to come. I’m a Nikon user too, but I hear ya with the cost of these lenses! Take care and keep in touch!
Seini
Denise Olson - Please let me know what you think….can’t wait to see the results!!!
Kristy - OK so let us see what it can do ok!!
Love, Kristy
Liene - I am trying to keep myself from having a heart attack after researching the lens you bought and seeing how much it cost. Maybe after some photography classes, etc, I’ll start buying better lenses. I still think the Canon you recommended rocks.
Stay warm although I have to say the snow looks like so much fun. We got a bit down here in GA on Sunday but it’s pretty much gone and it will be in the 70′s by Friday.
Julia - I’m LOL at the selling a kidney part, because that is SO true! (well, almost). I have the 24-70 and love it, so I would have been trying to convince you to go that way, but I’ve got to say you can’t go wrong with either one. Have fun and I can’t wait to see the photos you take with your new baby!
kerri - My eyes are green, LOL
Enjoy and I can not wait to see the shots you take.
Natalie - Hi I just found your beautiful blog! I’ll definitely be stopping by again! You’re an amazing photographer. Maybe I’ll learn something from you. Right now I am just so clueless.
Jennifer - I would be so jealous if I knew more about this lens! I have a Nikon. I hope you’ll be able to find a way to pay for it without selling a kidney
Can’t wait to see the pictures you take with it!
Grandma Monica - You are Nuts….FUNNY, but NUTS!
I love your passion for photography. Did I ever tell you I owned my own photography studio once…I focused on children. Lil Orchid is waiting for some more funny photo’s of Sofia. Although she still giggles at the spoon and goofy glasses.
The Gang's Momma - Now, dear. As lovely as this lens is (and I’m just faking it here, I don’t really know what a lovely lens is!), I am wondering where pics of your lovely self and your lovely daughter are?
When you post a title like New Addition, you get me all a twitter!!!!! And while I’m exceedingly happy for your big happy news (I think it’s happy, I don’t really know much about lenses!) I can’t take that kind of excitement this early without my coffee on hand.
sigh.
grin.
MotherMotherOcean - Love is such a splendid thing.
Half Gaelic, Half Garlic! - You LUCKY girl!! I am drooling justing looking at your new LOVE:) I bet you can’t wait to get your hands on it!!
Thanks for stopping by….I had seen some of your pretty photos over on F!ickr, but have never seen your blog…..IT IS BEAUTIFUL and so is your precious Sofia!!
I will be checking back to see the results of that new lens….enjoy the rest of your weekend!! Are you getting snow? We are supposed to be hit with another storm…..Where is SPRING?
