"check it out this" little baby

He's so cute. His name is Klein. He belongs to this lady. If one is not enough, there are a few more photos of him on my photo blog. 

Danielle Locken Photography

I come bearing news (and I think it's good news).

In the wake of finding out that the domain name I had long been eyeing (grafiaphotography.com) has now been claimed, I've decided to take my photography business in a new direction by giving it a new name, and what better name than my own, right? Right?

Go check out Danielle Locken Photography and be sure to note that the URL is no longer grafiaphotography.blogspot.com.

For the month of December I'm offering a special on family and individual portrait sessions. $75 will get you a one-hour session with me at one location of your choice and a CD with all images from the session. This is the perfect time to get your Christmas card photos taken! I still have a few spots left, so email me at daniellelocken@gmail.com or ring me at 714-580-3111 to book a spot. 

Also, be sure to become a fan of Danielle Locken Photography on Facebook and tell all your friends to do the same! 

Phew. Okay, that was my little schpeel. Thanks for reading.

Love,

Danielle

sin city

I didn't sin in sin city. I did, however, have a couple of virgin pina coladas, which were pretty fantastic. The cocktail waitress looked at me like I was a grandma (no offense to any grandmothers out there).

I also saw enough neon to hold me over for a few years.

help

I'm pleading with you readers out there.
Someone, inject some sort of all-natural energizing and motivating something into my veins...
Schoolwork whispers in my ear, "time to work on me," but I just ignore its annoying little voice and find other things that need to be done--like dusting or slow-roasting chiles over the stove. Completely necessary.
It's that time of year again.

best HALLOWEEN songs?

Kiffy came home the other day to find me listening to spooky Halloween sounds. He laughed at me and called me a weirdo (which I am, If you think about it--I mean, who listens to Halloween sounds like doors creeking, creepy organ music, werewolves howling, and creepy children giggling, just for kicks? I do. But I promise it's only a seasonal thing). I attempted to explain that I was constructing the perfect Halloween playlist. I've got my creepy soundscapes, but would like your opinion on other fitting songs that need to be added to the party portion of my playlist.

So far I've got:


"Weird Science"
"Dead Man's Party"
"Rock Lobster"
"Ghost Town"
"Thriller"
"Love Will Tear Us Apart"
"Head Over Heels"
"The Monster Mash"
"Somebody's Watching Me"



Herein lies my problem. My list is so sad.
