No poopin’ in the pool!!! candid kids photos by Orange County photographer Gillian Crane

This is such a hoot, here are some very candid photos of Hayden getting a little bit too comfortable in the pool. I let daddy clean up that mess! Ha! Not many things gross me out now that I have 3 kids, but poop in the pool is a bit much for me. Thank god Michael is a “hands-on” dad, ha ha! Gross. I don’t remember reading about that in the parenting guides. Luckily she’ll have photos of this in her trousseau to show her future family “and here i am pooping in the pool…”

And that’s my fabulous crusty gate in the background, I found that on the side of the road, it was so heavy that I kept it on the top of the car for a week before I got it down. Friends laugh at me when they see me pull up to the preschool drop off w/ random bits of crusty furniture tied to the top of the car, “…good lord, gillian’s been dumpster diving again…” but who could deny how worth it this gate is?! i’ll have to do a post on all the things i’ve found on the side of the road….

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini – Orange County Baby Photographer

Gillian Crane — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 21:58:32 +0000

FINALLY designed the babies birth announcement! It only took me 8 months, ha ha! The problem was getting the perfect photo for the inside of the card. Twins are hard like that. But it was worth the wait!

So the black and white photos are the outside of the card (it’ll be a 5×7 folded card, so the front is on the right and the back is on the left and the vertical line down the middle is the fold).

The color photo will be one big photo on the inside of the card, spread across the crease. I’m going to print a zillion of them and bring them to everyone w/ round yellow and white frosted sugar cookies! So festive! Such a relief to have this done! And before Christmas!

Sidenote: My mom sewed the bathing suits!

How to Take Better Photos, a video tutorial for Cropped! featuring Gillian Crane

Gillian Crane — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:00:19 +0000

I recently participated in a video tutorial for VirtueRadioNetwork.com’s scrapbooking video series, Cropped! on how to take better photos. I was really nervous about being in front of the camera, but the producer was fabulous and made me feel right at home. You can watch the video below.

Here’s some of the photos I took for the video. As you can see, it definitely helps if you’re working with a charismatic, photogenic family! They’re a family of six, with another on the way.

Ursula would tell you that she crawled across the finish line of this pregnancy, but she made it 37 weeks with 13 pounds of baby in her tummy. Pretty cool and they couldn’t be any cuter!
