DF you would make a good living here with those photos.

 

[Dragonfly]

yeah in a different life. Been there tried that. Still if any one wants pics I always say I am available just not for free. Sadly people want pics taken in side my landlords home which is not possible and the gardens which you have to pay a lot for to him so they dont want to know after that. In the past week 2 have asked me to take pics for free for them, they expected it to be free too. Sorry it makes me rant as I am fed up hearing how I should be making money when no one wants to pay.

1st nursery run done! Phew! Had a sleepless night too!

I'm paying for a newborn shoot on Friday. Found them on Facebook and they also had proper website and a studio. I think if you have that then people are willing to pay?

Lol xx

Well I have had a shocking night
Went to bed early Ryan fell asleep and I woke up feeling sick and was sick feel awful today poor hubby was looking after me but had to go to work dreading having to walk to collect Eireann later head is hoping and muscles in my sides are so sore both kids are a sleep beside me lol I'm afraid I will not wake up if I nod off oh well I will get through it lol


Mac lol at the soother and spitting it out

Got my pictures from my photo shoot I will share some later but I am very happy with them

 

[Sooz]

We've had our pictures back too. DF I agree you're very talented!

 

[Sooz]

Hope you feel better soon celtic and lol I'm sorry you had a rough night.

 

[Angelmarie]

Hope you feel better soon, Celtic! Nothing worse than feeling poorly and having to look after kids!

During a call with Daniel yesterday he was saying how tired he was as I had woken him up in the night to get calpol for Caelan. I said me too! I was up and down with Amelie and I was looking after Caelan rubbing his shins (he suffers with awful growing pains due to hyper mobility). I also felt sick all night and had an asthma attack. He said 'yeh but you don't have to go to work!'

Agh! I was so angry! No I don't have to go to work but I have to wash, clean, tidy and look after three kids in my own!!!

Men just don't think sometimes! Needless to say he was very apologetic.

@Df- totally know where you're coming from. Daniel is a self employed videographer with an average day rate of £250 and he produces HD videos for the likes of the NHS as well as doing music videos etc. Then he has 'mates' asking him to make them videos for free or for £50 or something. He's pretty good for giving 'mates rates' but realistically it takes him a week plus expenses to produce a video and he can't work free for a week! People get really narky at him when he points it out!
Have you ever tried selling prints online? X

Gorgeous pics DF! Xx

Ugh. Celtic hope u feel better ASAP big hugs

I bought a baby swing yesterday as I was fed up bouncing the baby bouncer with my foot and I have to say its been great this morning! But yes sooz I put him in last night after a Feed and he spewed oops hehe

Sooz the newborn pics of mason are fabulous! Celtic can't wait to see yours!

Ready I also want to say thanks for keeping this up to date! This has been a v successful thread

Mac yes and the dummy always gets spat out as soon as you turn your back on them!

Angel men are awful at night if they get woken! I need to remind mine now and then that I also get up and am busy during day

 

[CelticNiamh]

Angel I say he was sorry after that comment!


Still feel crap but a little better I have to collect my DD from school now going to leave early so I can walk slow!!! hope my milk protects Ryan from catching it

here a picture from his shoot

 

[borr.dg.baby]

Scottish I also bought a swing for that same reason lol

Mac I must confess I am guilty of wanting to do that lol... Also thought about some mechanism with elastic bands

Celtic I hope you feel better soon!

Angel men are stupid! I get that work is also hard but I swear I have never been so tired in my life, not with the haterst job I've had, motherhood is harder.

I took my site down as people stole my pics on the net and used them on free download screen saver sites. Even pics of my kids. It really annoyed me as some where selling them too and all I could do was ask for removal and prove they where my pics which I did and they where removed. Not like I can get all the money they earned. Some had thousands of downloads losing me loads of money. So I lost heart. I have loads of photographer friends too. Much better than I am that have such a hard time. you get money from weddings but I wont do them, I am not experienced enough and its some stress. So I was going to do a portrait business but no one will come forward for that either. I offered some free stuff to friends to get the site up and no one came either. Its tiring and disheartening. I just take pics of the kids like I always did and whatever else interests me. Its like my stress outlet being creative. I know what you mean about narky mates too It makes me feel awkward and all. Someone that knew my dad added me the other day on facebook and immediately sent me a message looking me to fix his pics, bad quality ones. I was a bit insulted to be honest.Its not even something I do. But they wanted that for free too.

I think the activity gym is my mommy saver. Henry loves looking at the toys and kicking the crinkly parts.

 

[Dragonfly]

I noticed the baby acne around Myles neck is gone since I put the amber necklace on him. I have my amber on today I got.

Angel: men are idiots!

Celtic: how are you feeling now?

I had a bad night. Mika kept fussing... Maybe 3oz are no longer enough? How do I know if he wants more?

 

[mac1979]

Pola-if he is getting fussy try a 4 oz bottle and see if he drinks all of it, that is really the only way to find out. Raptor was on 4 oz at that time. He may only need 4 oz at night and 3 during the day? I give a little more at night as it can give me a little more sleep.

Jenzy-the activity gym is lovely, Raptor "talks" to the toys (I call them his business associates) and moves his arms and kicks his legs. We also do tummy time on there

DF-are you able to put a digital watermark on your photos? If you do that they can't be downloaded. That is what my brother had to end up doing.

For pictures I am lucky that my oldest brother is a part time photographer and my MIL loves taking pictures and is always thinking of poses/props to use.

Raptor is a little piggy, he is up to 6 oz every 3.5 to 4 hours (whenever his gives me his "I'm hungry" scream) I think it is all going to height, he is filling out still but he is so tall. I had a friend come over with her 3 month old and he was just as tall as her. He is also getting a little bit of a tummy, I don't think he is going to be a chunky baby.

Dragonfly I ordered amber necklace from eBay do should get it in a few days. Can you tell me do u need to keep it on him all the time? And where's the best place to put it on him? X

 

[Dragonfly]

I put necklace on neck during day and leg during the night. Always on.

I had stuff watermarked and you are not suppose to get them from flickr but google allowed them to be downloaded and facebook. I give up last year I had enough. Less stress now.

much better still do not think I can eat yet!

When he empties his bottle you increase an onz, he might be having a growth spurt as well hun!

 

[pola17]

Thanks chicas! Tried, but he didn't want more once he reached 3oz!
He's finally sleeping, so I'm now cooking something quick!
I hope this afternoon when Tigran returns, he can look for him and I take a nap!

Mac: I love piggy babies! I love big cheeks!
