Life is full of ups and downs. Rain on your day off - Down. Finding $20 bucks in your fall coat - Up. The dead beat on your fantasy team that always sits your bench has an amazing day - Down. The guilty pleasure you've been eyeing for weeks is finally on sale - Up. It was great to dig into your week and check out some ups and downs. Happily, we photographed more ups than downs. That's a really nice outlook on the week. Things I thought I'd see but didn't: The Yoyo {which Madison can proudly spell, over and over again.} or the bouncing ball. My week had more ups than downs, hope yours did too!
Our top ten is always in no particular order. When you enjoy the shot, check out the artist. Send them some love. Photography is a fickle love, we are all trying to manipulate our camera to seeing things like we see them and when you get it right, it feels good. Really good. So send over some love!
Here we go...
ONE {Sickness is big FAT DOWN. You really captured great emotion in this shot. Great work. And happy healing and many prayers to your family.}

Week 40's theme is: Guilty Pleasures ~ What's yours?
Confession: I can't stop buying scarves. I have a real problem. I bought 6 this week alone. It's fall now and the stores are putting out those super cute knitted scarves that you can only find this time of year. That's how I reason it out. It sounds GREAT in my head. And then I buy. So, if you're my husband, you're saying, "Daphne, you only have ONE neck - what's with all the scarves today?" I'm wrapping babies in them. "Are you going to wear it after a baby's ass has been in it?" Yes I think I will. I LOVE scarves.
Here's a peek at my set up and scarves...
What's new with Daphne Ellenburg?
I started my week with a visit from my amazing Sorority Big Sister. I wanted to show her my new studio and talked her into a birthday photo to celebrate not looking 39 at all. We tried out the new V-flat with success. We had dinner, cake and had the best Sunday evening. I wish she lived closer to me. Meet Dr. Dodge.
Jefferson had a big week. He now has 2 more teeth for total of 6 and took a record 26 steps in a row. I know this because Grant spends a chunk of his afternoon counting baby steps. He's a great big Brother.
I had the best massage ever at a super cool place. The W. It just sounds cool. My super awesome husband bought a massage for me and my BFF at a new salon. It was fantastic. And the "Nail Bar" is a real bar that you sit at, order a martini and you get your nails done at the bar. Talk about a great way to end the week. I'd like to have my nails done here every Friday. Who's with me?
And this just in. The egg nog is back. I love the fall. And I love egg nog, even in September.
Wishing you a wonderful week filled with family, fun and photography. Can't wait to see your guilty pleasures!
