			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My schedule is filling up fast; I&#8217;m already booked through the beginning of November!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been wanting to book me for your holiday photos, the two weekends I have available are</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>November 22/23 (you choose which day)</strong></li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: line-through;"><strong>December 6/7 (you choose which day)</strong></span><strong> </strong><span style="color: red;">no longer available</span></li>
</ul>
<p>If you want one of those sessions, contact me as soon as possible!</p>
<p><strong>**********</strong><br />
If I haven&#8217;t mentioned it here before (I know I have in person to several people, so this will be repetitive for you)&#8230; I have a <strong>very </strong>limited availability.</p>
<p>I want to be able to put all of my energy into one client&#8217;s session at a time, until it&#8217;s done, without having to worry about other people waiting for me to process their photos.</p>
<p>I spend a lot of time and attention to detail, making everything look the best I could possibly make it, while still keeping things real.</p>
<p>I want to be able to keep giving each client my all; therefore, I am only booking about two regular sessions per month. Talk about limited!!! <img src='http://perfectlynaturalphotography.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I will, however, be offering Breastfeeding Portrait sessions throughout the month, and probably about two Maternity Portrait sessions per month.</p>
<p><strong>Occasionally I&#8217;ll be offering Mini Sessions and Special Sessions which will have a limited amount of available time slots; <span style="color: green;">sign up for blog updates if you&#8217;re interested in those &#8216;cuz I&#8217;ll be announcing them here.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>**********</strong><br />
Okay, now to my photo. I&#8217;m not posting any from my recent sessions, though a few of those are up on my site already. I want to do them all justice and give them each their own posts.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a photo I made recently that depicts how I&#8217;ve been feeling lately.</p>
<p><a title="slug on a slide by Perfectly Natural, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/feelslikemagic/2834217825/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3127/2834217825_edee65cc78_o.jpg" alt="slug on a slide" width="600" height="440" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a slug, on a slide. You know, it&#8217;s supposed to go fast, but it&#8217;s not, &#8216;cuz it&#8217;s a slug. And they just don&#8217;t. Even if they&#8217;re on a slide. <img src='http://perfectlynaturalphotography.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>A. put it up there; he wanted to see it slide down. If you look really closely, it looks like a fingerprint on it&#8217;s back. I&#8217;m not sure if that&#8217;s actually one of my kids&#8217; fingerprint or if that&#8217;s how slugs&#8217; backs just look. LOL</p>
<p><strong>**********</strong><br />
Next up:</p>
<p>Okay, those maternity sessions I was so fortunate to do, and some of which will hopefully be up at the Birth Art Show, if the owner of The Catalyst will accept them as late as I will be getting them there.</p>
<p>An administrative introduction&#8230; <img src='http://perfectlynaturalphotography.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Some breastfeeding portraits.</p>
<p>An all-natural recipe for a hair product I&#8217;m just loving.</p>
<p>Sharing thoughts on photography and business.</p>
<p>And this weekend I get to photograph my first newborn, who will be one week old when I get to meet him. Hopefully I&#8217;ll get his photos up here as an actual sneak peek instead of after his mama already has his photos. LOL</p>
<p>Oh, and I had wanted to share about the Urban Hen resolution.</p>
<p>See how behind I am? Ugh!</p>
<p>Ah well, it&#8217;s all fun. <img src='http://perfectlynaturalphotography.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/feelslikemagic/2572341862/" title="Big Blue Beetle by Perfectly Natural, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3137/2572341862_63e28ab79a_o.jpg" width="500" height="400" alt="Big Blue Beetle" /></a></p>
<p>His color was amazing, and along with his size made him very obvious on the sidewalk. He (am I being gender biased and calling it a &#8220;he&#8221; &#8216;cuz it&#8217;s blue? <img src='http://perfectlynaturalphotography.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) had been stationary but started to move - quickly - as I stood over him. I ran in and got my camera to snap some pix of the kids holding him.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/feelslikemagic/2572341940/" title="Big Blue Beetle by Perfectly Natural, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3134/2572341940_71f83acddc_o.jpg" width="500" height="625" alt="Big Blue Beetle" /></a></p>
<p>He moved quickly and I didn&#8217;t have time to set my aperture, so most of the photos weren&#8217;t in focus. LOL On the photo above and below, he&#8217;s on A, my 3 year old. Just for size comparison. <img src='http://perfectlynaturalphotography.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I did some quick research online and found out that he&#8217;s a Pleasing Fungus Beetle, <a href="http://bugguide.net/node/view/96955">genus Gibbifer</a>. They eat the fruiting bodies of fungi, and apparently </p>
<blockquote><p> are rarely seen except by the dedicated mushroom hunter and entomologists.</p></blockquote>
<p>I feel even more fortunate to have seen this one, now!
