Halloween is that special time of year when the universe aligns and screams, "Daphne, you are a terrible pumpkin carver." Sad but true.  I see all these great pumpkins and I'm so jealous. And then to top it off, everyone under the sun is posting their pumpkin carved to perfection on Facebook. And then there is endless carved pumpkin tagging. And what's on my door step? A pair of shoes and a very attractive permanently carved foam pumpkin. So next year, when you see my amazingly carved pumpkin tagged on Facebook, only you will know it's completely made of foam.

I loved your Halloween adventures this week! Great costumes. Great ideas and most importantly, great fun! I'll share a couple with you...

These are the fun one year old twins I had in Saturday. This was my most favorite Halloween portrait ever.

#44 Fun by sksurman

Week 45's Theme is : Motion

This is a tricky week for you and your camera. Become one with the Bulb feature and knock one out of the park this week! 

I chose to find my motion at the Mobile Fair. I went twice and I sure had a great time. Here's my favorite Motion shot.

What's New with Daphne Ellenburg?

The birthday twins were a hit. They didn't say much, but if they did it would have been the cutest thing I'd ever heard. I'm sure of it. We finished our shoot by destroying a beautiful cake.

Monday, I finally got to hear what the Fox says when baby Fox came in for his close up. Surprisingly it was Ring a Ding, but it wasn't a shout it was more a whisper. Meet baby Fox. Dressed as a Fox. Parents are GREAT.

Report cards were so good around our house that we went to the fair twice. Grant and Madison rocked out straight A's and Jackson was pretty darn close with super tough 9th grade classes in the 8th grade. 4 A's and 3 high B's. No Complaints here, well a few. Why doesn't he have an A in French? We're mostly French around here.

Mike bought me an Arm band for unlimited fair rides. I rode 3 rides. But I could have rode one thousand.

I love everything about the fair. The colorful rides, the weird food combos, and the fashion that you can only see once a year at the county fair.

Jackson is really great at fair games. He managed to win this guy that Madison calls "Stephen" with only $3 but he also wasted $25 trying to win a motorcycle that I would have never let him ride anyway.

Here's Me and Mike at the fair.

And Me and Jackson. Sometimes when you say, "Come take a photo with your Mother" This is what you get.

This is Madison and Stephen.

Halloween was GREAT. We had Madison as Merida from Brave. No wig required.

I was the witch turning mothers into bears since Michael wouldn't fund my $700 Amazon.com bear costume.

Michael and Jefferson were super.

Grant was Master Chief.

And Jackson was Captain Kenway.

This week, I fell in love with Bitstrip. If you haven't tried it yet, do it.

Wishing you a great week! Filled with Family, Fun and Photography!
