We just got back into town today from our good ol’ fashioned family vacation in the Black Hills of SD! Scott has been bugging me to do this for years so we finally just did it. I have to admit I was totally NOT looking forward to driving like 1600+ miles with the family, but it...

That BIG bear sitting down is GREAT!!! I laughed out loud!! Your family is just TOO cute Robin!!

thank you for sharing! actually brought tears to my eyes… as a kid we did many road trips to SD… the pictures of Bear Country brought back so many memories! great shots that you can treasure forever!
Just a couple of “business” items! First of all, I am selling this antique stroller! I thought I’d post it here first and if I don’t get any takers, I’ll put it on Craig’s List – $75! Great deal!

Awesome Post!!
Great post, Robin! As an aspiring photographer who occasionally follows your blog, I have to say I love your posts of this nature! Keep ‘em coming. Your work is amazing!
I think you did a really good job explaining this, Robin. It’s exactly how I finally understood the relationship of aperture and SS. I’m sending a friend here today since you did such a good job with your explanation! Rock on!
ahhhh, i’m flattered to be even mentioned on your blog as YOU have taught me so many awesome things over the years and have pushed me to become a better person/photographer all the way around! i love your willingness to share…and your wealth of knowledge and your “drive” is infectious!!! shelley
good info Robin! I always think of my lens as my eye too 
I have to think in terms like that – not all in numbers… must be the artist in me and NOT the mathematician.
Love the metering tip too (thanks Melissa!)
OK so I bought this new flooring – it’s actually a (eta – this is a link – look there —–>) MAT that looks like a barn floor/white-washed wood! I think I’m going to like it a lot! Here I used some fabric from IKEA (and used Downey wrinkle release spray to get the wrinkles out!) ...

for the fabric, I bought 2 yards (6ft)
could I ask you where you got the mat? gorgeous photos! thanks for sharing!
Oh that is so AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing Robin. You are so cool!!!
LOVE these! Can you please tell me about how much fabric you purchased for this? Thanks so much!
Hi-there is a link right on my blog on the post itself.
Hope that helps!
I love the mat…can you tell me where you got it?
Thanks!
where did you find that awesome mat??
Absolutely love it!!! I just found your blog through another blog. I will definitely be following yours as well. Was wondering if you minded mentioning where you got the “barn floor” rug. I have actually been wanting to find something like this. It is perfect! I love the fabric too!! The colors just pop!
Saw a link to your site on Heather Melzer’s blog. These are so cute! Love that IKEA fabric, and I’ve been lusting after the barnwood rugs Which backdrop stand are you using?
love that robin….it is so funny but i just got the same fabric and a couple others from ikea! I cant wait to try them out:)
Robin, that is adorable!!! Love, love, love the mat and faux wallpaper look. Is the mat a photography product?
Love the flooring and she is adorable!!
LOVE the new floor…and your set up is fantastic!
grace looks sooooo happy in these images…wonderful:)
shelley
the floor is awesome…. but it’s you that “rocked it!” Ha ha.
Jenay’s photo of her new floor that she sent me today is AWESOME too.
Such talent
I just got mine today!!! I am really having issues holding up the base board with the clamps though. What am I doing wrong?
cute!! love the new floor
OK so now that I’m not going to be renting studio space in Hopkins any more, I sweet-talked hubby into letting me put that $$ into finishing off my shooting room in the basement. Nothing fancy – I just wanted more of a finished feel to it. And I wanted to have a neutral wall...
