Lots going on right now including work on a book my clients will be able to use to help decide how to display the images from your session. I'm excited about it as I think it will really help everyone see there are so many options beyond "one image over the fireplace" as the way to display your portrait art.

If you haven't entered the Yoyomama contest yet, head over now and post your comment. The contest ends Tuesday so you only have a few more days.

We were out enjoying the sun at the year-end bbq for our daycare today. Great weather and so much fun to see Angelo playing with all his little friends. A quick one from this afternoon....

When I find something I love, I always want to share it with everyone I know. So now begins a semi-regular series of things I love.

My latest fave toy is my new Flip Video 30 min camcorder. It's listed on Amazon right now for a crazy low price and with shipping I ended up paying less than $80CAD.

Jim wasn't thrilled at the fact that I purchase a video camera being as we already have one but for me this one is totally different. We have had our video camera for 2 years and I have yet to use it. It has way too many features and buttons, I have no idea to download the videos and, by the time you get it in it's case, it's too clunky to regularly have with you.

In comes the new flip video.... it's the size of a small point & shoot camera so I can throw it in my purse and not even notice it's in there. It's super easy to use - press the power button and then press the big red button to start recording and the big red button a second time to stop recording. It comes with a pop-out USB stick built in so it's really easy to get the videos on your computer. Each video downloads as an individual file which means you don't even have to do any editing to get just the part you want.

Have I convinced you yet? :) I can't say enough great things about it.

Here is the first clip I videoed with my flip - Jim and Angelo doing some alphabets. Consider yourself forewarned... I have a total cutie. And I am aware that this clip is likely something only a mama (or a grandma) would love. :) It's a bit shaky but I've improved on that a bit since I first got it.

Yep!! I own it and couldn't agree more. We own a nice Sony recorder but never use it because converting the videos from the mini disc to the computer always seems to involve glitches. The vimeo has increased our recording by a ton!!! So glad I'm not missing out on our kids growing up anymore. ;)

I've always wondered about the flips. I'm glad you like it. I can't see the video you posted for some reason though. :(

Oh, I love that video!! What a cutie pie he is! And Jim is hilarious!! You can tell Angelo adores him!

Colin really, really wants a video camera. I wonder if this does what he wants and plugs into the tv and records off the tv. I think it's called input recording. I should check it out.
