So encouraging! I think I was just in a little slump. Thanks for bring me up!
Well we are moving into town around the end of this month. July will be interesting because we plan to float around. I will miss this place. The amazing view of Baker, the sunrise, the sunset, the wildlife. We were truly blessed to live her for ALMOST 4 years. Yes its been that long! What does God have in store for us now? I am trusting Him:) Thanks for following my blog..life on the hill. I am looking forward to becoming a city mouse again:)
Today I went to the green barn, I love that place. Try the Mama Salsa-medium. It is so good. They also were selling peonies for .99 a stem.(yesterday at safeway I saw a bouquet of three stems for 7.99-just saying). I instantly starting thinking about taking pictures of them and that is when my afternoon was shot(haha funny pun). Here is the results of some time wasting fun...
Thanks friends!

Thinking about things like marketing, bookwork, client emails, blogging, editing and then some creating. I found my passion about 6 or 7 years ago when I went on a shoot with my cousin wendi p. That is about when we created theSNAPsisters. I remember getting home from that shoot and scouring the internet for ideas and ways to learn more. I discovered <a href="http://www.michelemwaite.com/blog/">Michele Waite's blog</a> and loved the casual artsy style she had. Seriously I am going somewhere with this... Now it is 2012 and I am seeing a new trend. It is a sea of photographers out there. They are at Berthusen Park just about every time I drive by. They are on Facebook and it's someone new all the time and their pictures are really good. Clients that I have had are buying their own camera and taking their own pictures of their kiddos. Someone is getting married and their cousin or uncle or friend has a DSLR and is going to start a business in photography. And they will do it for nothing or cheap. When I meet with a bride she is meeting up with several photographers to weigh her options and she has allot of options. There are allot of really talented photographers out there. Don't get me wrong I am not ranting here. I am just merely thinking about what the future holds for my small business. They call it a flooded market or maybe its the down economy. Oh poo this is depressing. On to the positive. This spring I have been making theSNAPsisters website all new, new galleries, new blog(with all the old post as well) and even a new attitude. I have decided that I LOVE what I do. I will do it for free if I have to but I will never give up on DOING WHAT I LOVE. Also my nest is empty at the moment. If God had not put this passion for photography in front of me I would probably be a mess. I am so thankful I can create and learn and challenge myself.

Driving home from a shoot on Tuesday I realized I had to stop at Berthesen Park. The sun was peeking through the clouds and the light was beautiful in the trees. Enjoy it because I think it's going to melt!

My nieces cat Bella had kittens so I headed over with my camera. I love kittens. We had fun trying to get them to warm up to the camera all the while mom Bella was trying to move them back under the bed. I used to be a crazy cat lady before I became crazy dog lady. All my child hood I had a cat and the occasional batch of kittens..see pic. If I was bored I would ride my bike to my Grandpa and Grandma's farm on the Wiser Lake Road and find some barn kittens and take them home and in brown bag and then "tame" them. ALSO my whole childhood I had a runny nose..see where this is going? In my 20's I learned I was allergic to cats. That explained allot! But I still love the kitties just not for long:) Thanks girls for sharing your darling kittens!Jodihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15040496130258064866noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026596321974899009.post-22811079276703034572012-01-11T12:49:00.000-08:002012-01-11T12:50:04.742-08:00Project time...<img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/chalkboard2.jpg">

The other day Hana and I created a "craft area" in the basement. We kinda moved in on the man cave:)
But it has been great and now I am feeling like doing some of those projects that I've intended to do.
I found this old piano front (not sure that is what it is called) So we bought a can of chalkboard paint. This stuff is every where and if you are on <a href="http://pinterest.com/jodikae/">pintrest</a> you know there are a million ideas for what you can do with it. What surprised me was how nice it goes on. I barely used any to cover this piano front. I am hoping to leave it on the mantel for now. And I realize it really doesn't go with my 70's house. But some day...oh some day!

Yeah I do. My brother and Bill caught many crab and we feasted on it. So Yummo! Speaking of yummo what I am getting to is Rachel Rays recipe for <a href="http://www.rachaelraymag.com/recipes/rachael-ray-magazine-recipe-search/rachael-ray-30-minute-meals/bacon-and-crab-chowder">Bacon Crab Chowder</a>. I tried it with some of the left over frozen crab and it was delish! Here are some of the pictures of the making of the chowder way back in October. Yes this is bloggy catch up time! On this day I also made <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/01/beef-stew-with-beer-and-paprika/">Pioneer Womans Beef Stew with beer and paprika</a>. It was outstanding! Then we loaded up my pots of goodness and headed over to celebrate Cash's Birthday with a few family and friends. I sure miss that little guy.

I didn't have any work to do this morning. All my shopping is done, my cards are sent, my baking is done and my laundry is totally caught up.....NOT!!! Oh well time for a little craft! I bought this tiny nativity many years ago at the dollar store (i think). I have been growing many plants for terrarium building. Plus I have all the stuff you need...rocks,charcoal, soil, trees and moss. I even had some drift wood for the stable laying around. Oh what fun! I love the tiny world of terrariums! What better way to be reminded of the reason for the season. The birth of our Savior!

Ok so the past two years I have sent out a doggie card to all Eddie, Charlie and Sadie's dog friends. Some may call me crazy. This year I tried to get some pics of the group when we had our first snow. Was that in October? I think they all look very sweet in the pics I got with Hana's reluctant help. Hana and I were cracking up because Charlie loves his Martha Stewart sweater. But do I go through the trouble of making a card and sending it? Not to mention the expense! There is very little thanks in doing it and none of their dog friends send out cards:( Well you will have to wait and see if "crazy dog lady" strikes again.

Now here is a little photography lesson. This picture here is taken at<br />
Shutter speed 90, ISO 400, F.or aperture 2.8. Ugly huh? <br />
<img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/clouds2-1.jpg" /><br />
This one is straight out of camera or SOOC. <br />
Shutter speed 90 ISO 400 and f. 11 So you see by only changing the aperture a few clicks the color is brought to life. A higher aperture will produce brilliant color.<br />

This is with a little contrast. <br />

Now if you have a camera-learn to use it:)<br />

I am not happy about this as you can imagine. We are slowly realizing what is missing and it's not much. So far the coin tray in my car-which is removable and all the dimes nickels and pennies that were in it. And Levi's cologne that he got from Meagan from Victoria Secrets called VERY SEXY. So we can do without that:) Clearly they were looking for cash. Car doors were left open and things looked like somebody went thru them. The sheriff believes it is kids and that night they went on a crime spree in our area. It is not about losing stuff but more about a loss of security. Now we are locking the doors and we have fired the guard dogs. </div><div>Thanks for stopping by! </div>Jodihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15040496130258064866noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026596321974899009.post-82994905635693546002011-06-21T12:21:00.000-07:002011-06-21T12:43:28.399-07:00Our baby Graduated!

That said- it was a crazy week:) The weather cooperated for an outside graduation and party. Praise the Lord for that! I made my now <a href="http://simpleeverydaylifeonthehill.blogspot.com/2010/06/recipe-and-graduate.html">famous meatball sliders</a> and farm gram made a big pot of potato salad. It was a delicious combo. Marty (Hana's friend) brought puppies to the party-whats better than puppies? Don't worry Hana did not get one for graduation:) Jackjack really enjoyed meeting Uncle Fred- who got off work just in time. David A was in charge of balloons! Charlie got stung by a bee right before the party and required medical attention. He is going to be fine. Whew! That was bad timing. The graduation was good but my favorite is the baccalaureate. It was at Christ the King on tuesday. The messages were great! It's a big world out there and these kids need Jesus:) Thank-you to all of you who came out to support Hana:) </div><div>Thanks for stopping by! </div><div><br /></div>Jodihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15040496130258064866noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026596321974899009.post-1232795001305740542011-06-10T11:08:00.000-07:002011-06-10T11:50:50.166-07:00Photos of Spring gone by...<img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/everythingblog-1-1.jpg" /><div>Some lambs Hana and I stopped to take pictures of-wish I could have gotten closer.</div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/everythingblog2-1.jpg" /></div><div>Love these pink trees!</div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/everythingblog-3.jpg" /></div><div>My mom's Magnolia.</div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/everythingblog3-1.jpg" /></div><div>I made terrariums for my sisters for Mother's Day.</div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/everythingblog-2-1.jpg" /></div><div>I just love maiden hair ferns.

If you have not you may be living under a rock. She is a ranchers wife, mother, blogger and so much more. Her down to earth style has captured allot of us bloggers, not to mention her recipes! On her blog <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com">thepioneerwoman.com</a> she has a section on photography and contests are held for prizes. Well...I always enter-early and often...faithfully:) This week I entered a photo that is very special to me. The theme of the contest is BROTHERS. I had to enter this photo. It has been a great honor to photograph Cash and his family through his fight with cancer. Brother Jack at age 4 was so tender and loving toward Cash. He needs to be honored as a big brother. </div><div>Well I was very excited last night to see that this picture was in group 4, it was bittersweet. Perhaps a few more lives will be touched by this sweet two year olds little life. </div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/trys-2-1.jpg" /></div><div>Here are two other pictures I entered in "Brothers" Gunnar and Lyla-love this one:)</div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/trys-3.jpg" /></div><div>The brothers three-hands</div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/trys5-1.jpg" /></div><div>Here is what I entered in "beauty" My Beautiful daughter and a senior named Jesi<img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/trys-1-1.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/trys3-1.jpg" /></div><div>Here is what I entered in "Horses" That was a beautiful group of pictures on her blog. </div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/trys4-1.jpg" /></div><div>My friend Carolyn and her colt Cash and some from the Appaloosa Journal shoot.</div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/trys2-1.jpg" /></div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/trys1-1.jpg" /></div><div>Stay tuned to her blog to see if my picture makes the finals:) </div>Jodihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15040496130258064866noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026596321974899009.post-61986184323498190902011-04-08T14:40:00.000-07:002011-04-08T14:45:01.160-07:00Lady Bug and Ranunculus...<img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/lady5-1.jpg" /><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/lady3-1.jpg" /></div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/lady11-1.jpg" /></div><div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/lady2-1.jpg" /></div><div>No time for words.

Hey! in this day and age it's something you can do with your teenage daughter. I have Instagram- this is great because its all about pictures and I can follow other photographers who have it too. We see each others pics and can comment on them or "Like" them. But any one can join and I only use pictures I have taken with my iphone. My user name is jodikae and hana is hanabear. Hana takes some amazing pics with her phone and she is always ahead of me when it come to apps. Here is a few fun examples and how I did them...</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSM7aS6NhEM_gWpuwT9p1_XkN3jpSM3OWCstNZ30EXzySG8MGi5xqBasguNVdvLPx4cMxDj7WPPeWi7EDhm8BjiPOBy9iyxBlH1dKc_5uENGl_1aswMd4uYquM5P6x02DWb0Po1MFcICfn/s1600/blogapps.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSM7aS6NhEM_gWpuwT9p1_XkN3jpSM3OWCstNZ30EXzySG8MGi5xqBasguNVdvLPx4cMxDj7WPPeWi7EDhm8BjiPOBy9iyxBlH1dKc_5uENGl_1aswMd4uYquM5P6x02DWb0Po1MFcICfn/s400/blogapps.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590673757983144722" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">This was an Instagram shot and then I added labels with Labelbox.

I think I even miss weeding! Here on the hill we just have mud. I used to work in a greenhouse and I had a big yard so spring was a busy time. But now I must go in search of spring blooms. My sis Tami said she had snowdrops so I sneaked over to her beautiful garden and took a few pics. You may know her as <a href="http://theladyinthestonehouse.blogspot.com">theladyinthestonehouse</a>. There I found snowdrops, crocuses and helleborus. I added my own little tiny props to the shots:) Happy Spring!!</div>Jodihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15040496130258064866noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026596321974899009.post-37875432423630721092011-03-09T12:14:00.001-08:002011-03-09T12:37:33.632-08:00It's called a terrarium...<div><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/jodikae444/blog%20pics/terrarium-1.jpg" /></div><div>You will need:</div><div>-a terrarium container, you can find these at TJ maxx, thrift stores and garage sales.</div><div>-potting soil</div><div>-rocks of varying sizes</div><div>-charcoal</div><div>-moss, Hana and I went out and harvested moss and sticks.</div><div>-plants.
