So, to everyone (including her)...it felt like she was pregnant FOR.EV.ER. When Ian finally arrived (a week late) it was cause for great celebration...and a photo shoot. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Seriously, he is such a good baby...but at 8 days old he would not sleep for me. He kept a constant watch on the camera, inspecting it, analyzing it, storing away that information in his little baby brain. Regardless, we got some cute photos of the newest family member!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Meet Ian...he gets his flair for the dramatic from me (see 2nd picture)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5710328898/" title="IMG_0885-e by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "></span></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5710328898/" title="IMG_0885-e by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2745/5710328898_abe99d5f57_z.jpg" width="640" height="469" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5709766425/" title="IMG_0954-e by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2429/5709766425_c18bafcb7a_z.jpg" width="640" height="469" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5709766425/" title="IMG_0954-e by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5710328262/" title="IMG_0879-e by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3623/5710328262_54a04dea0c_z.jpg" width="640" height="469" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5710327804/" title="IMG_0986-e by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3264/5710327804_8362740e79_z.jpg" width="640" height="469" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" />IMG_0986-e"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5709765333/" title="IMG_0930-e by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3569/5709765333_08633d2aa6_z.jpg" width="640" height="469" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5709765143/" title="IMG_0893-e by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3524/5709765143_ab80370e3b_z.jpg" width="469" height="640" alt="<span class=" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 18px; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 18px; ">Want more ON A LIMB? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 18px; "><a href="https://www.facebook.com/onalimbpaper">Facebook</a> * <a href="http://www.onalimbpaper.com/#/home/">Website</a> * <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/onalimbpaper">Twitter</a></span></div>Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16422462724581458993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156717255193417248.post-34990597248360089502011-05-02T14:11:00.002-04:002011-05-02T14:25:36.219-04:00Frymyer Family: In the Studio<div style="text-align: center;">I really enjoyed my Sunday morning session with the Frymyer family in the studio.

To me, this image certainly captures what an everyday moment in life can be. Last week, one of my great friends needed a babysitter for her twins and I gladly volunteered my help. This little guy was just exploring all the toys in his play area, maybe wondering why he wasn't at daycare, certainly interested in the big camera focused on him. But in the end, he went about the business of a 1 year old: playing, eating, sleeping, living the good life.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5568894731/" title="Caged by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5254/5568894731_bab99ef5d8_z.jpg" width="640" height="469" alt="Caged" /></a></div></div>Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16422462724581458993noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156717255193417248.post-17903945485308924552011-03-25T11:52:00.003-04:002011-03-25T12:13:41.959-04:00She's Having A Baby: My Little SisAt 36 weeks pregnant, my little sister has never looked so beautiful.

Photographing 2 brothers is a whole 'nother ballgame. They are little balls of energy bouncing from couch to floor, hiding from the camera, messing with their clothes, tackling, screaming, you name it. These brothers were all boy and it took them a while to warm up to me (and the camera). By the end of our session the boys were worn out, I was sweaty and tired, but the photos made it all worth it.

Is there a band/artist that you hate?</strong> Wow, hate...that is pretty extreme. I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">definitely</span> don't like some bands or types of music but I don't know about hate. The list could end up being quite long, I'm sure, but let's just pick one...how about Justin <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Beiber</span>. I just don't get it. Oh, I'm not 13 either...maybe that is why.<br /><br /></div><div align="center"><strong>2. What do you do when you get a gift that you don't like?</strong> I guess I'm too polite to do anything other than look pleased and say thank you. I do have myself on home video at age 5 opening a gift of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">barrettes</span> for my birthday. Let's just say that my look of disgust was not <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">brief</span> and it was followed up by something along the lines of "I didn't ask for these". I'm ashamed at my 5 year old self.<br /><br /></div><div align="center"><strong>3. How is your work office/cubicle <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">decorated</span>?</strong> Is messy a decoration? If I could clean up the clutter (which is mostly scraps of paper with notes scribbled on them) it would be quite nice. Mood board, pretty calendar, a few photos, printer, computer, etc.</div><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>4. Do you use all of your vacation every year?</strong> I'm <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">fortunate</span> to be self-employed so vacation time is hard to define. Everyday is like a vacation (where I can define my own schedule) but the kind of vacation where you end up taking your laptop (so you can work the whole time). </div><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>5. Do you have a real or fake Christmas tree?</strong> Real all the way. It is still proudly standing in the living room glowing in all of it's Fraser Fir glory. I've taken everything down but the tree...I love it so. <em><span style="font-size:85%;">*see above photo for proof</span></em></div><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>6. If you could have anything for dinner tonight, what would it be?</strong> Pasta <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Salvi</span> from <a href="http://www.salvisbistro.com/"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Salvi's</span> Bistro</a>. If you live in Central Ohio and have not been there, go tonight. You can thank me later for introducing you to what I like to call "<em>Heaven On A Plate"</em>.</div><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>7. Do you bite your fingernails?</strong> <span style="font-size:78%;">yes.</span><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>8. How many cups of coffee do you drink each day?</strong> zero cups of coffee</div><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>9. Do you have a nervous tick?</strong> No, no nervous tick. (gosh I'm boring...no coffee, no nervous tick)</div><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>10. How often do you <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">vacuum</span>?</strong> I have exactly 2 rugs in my house, so the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">vacuum</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">doesn't</span> get utilized a whole lot.

I provide the yummy treats, you bring your favorite seasonal brew. Fun, fun, fun I tell ya. We shared beers, we had blind taste tests, we even had a photobooth!! Amazing amounts of fun. All I did was set up a little background in the basement, set out some props, put the camera on the tripod, and let everyone shoot away with my new wireless remote shutter. Here are some of my favorites from the night.<br /><a title="photobooth1 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5324700507/"><img alt="photobooth1" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5245/5324700507_62b973cf0d_z.jpg" width="560" height="640" /></a><br /><a title="photobooth2 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5325307004/"><img alt="photobooth2" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5206/5325307004_2cfbf0289d_z.jpg" width="560" height="640" /></a><br /><a title="photobooth3 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5325306610/"><img alt="photobooth3" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5243/5325306610_7f7773fa18_z.jpg" width="560" height="640" /></a><br /><a title="photobooth4 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5324699477/"><img alt="photobooth4" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5205/5324699477_245002b4ac_z.jpg" width="526" height="640" /></a><br /><a title="photobooth5 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5324699201/"><img alt="photobooth5" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5289/5324699201_c5e0540274_z.jpg" width="526" height="640" /></a><br /><a title="photobooth6 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5324698909/"><img alt="photobooth6" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5281/5324698909_0cf4e23d9c_z.jpg" width="526" height="640" /></a> </div><br /><p align="center"><br />I love my friends :) </p>Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16422462724581458993noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156717255193417248.post-69794595855913722062011-01-04T09:00:00.005-05:002011-01-04T09:00:14.264-05:00Ten on Tuesday: January 4<div align="center">I was first introduced to the idea of Ten on Tuesday through <a href="http://gailwernerblog.com/category/ten-on-tuesday/">Gail Werner's blog</a>, which led me to <a href="http://rootsandrings.wordpress.com/about/ten-on-tuesday-topics-and-archives/">Roots and Rings</a>...where the questions originate. I'd like to participate so that I can share a bit more about myself to all of you. Problem is...it is super hard for me to stick with things like this...but I'm going to try. Hold me accountable people!! </div><div align="center"><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5322137054/" title="ten on tuesday 1.4 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5089/5322137054_f0ac033022_z.jpg" width="640" height="427" alt="ten on tuesday 1.4" /></a><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><br /><strong>1. What kind of home do you currently reside in?</strong> My husband and I currently reside in a home that we own. It was built in 1923 and is your typical four square style home. We purchased the home in April of 2008, only 15 days after walking through it for the first time. We started renovating in June of 2008 and were able to finally move in in September 2009. We are currently building a <a href="http://onalimbpaper.blogspot.com/2010/09/things-that-dig-holes-in-my-yard.html">screened in porch </a>in the back and finishing the basement. Some before and afters can be seen <a href="http://onalimbpaper.blogspot.com/2009/11/before-after-day-1.html">here</a>, <a href="http://onalimbpaper.blogspot.com/2009/11/before-after-day-2.html">here</a>, <a href="http://onalimbpaper.blogspot.com/2009/11/before-after-day-3.html">here</a>, and <a href="http://onalimbpaper.blogspot.com/2009/11/before-after-day-4.html">here</a>. So, I never did finish showing the house...see what I mean about sticking with things. My mind is on to something else...all. the. time.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>2. If you could completely redecorate one room in your house, which room would you pick and why. What would you do to it?</strong> As I mentioned in the previous answer, our house was just recently renovated from top to bottom (mostly), so everything is pretty much how I want it to be. One area of the house that we hope to get to in the future though, is the attic. It is a 1/2 story with a pretty good amount of headroom and space. If I had the funds, I would finish this room and make it a new office for myself, or maybe a library, or a master bedroom. So many options with a bare-bones room.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>3. What is your favorite place to gain inspiration for your home decor style?</strong> I find inspiration in stores such as Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Crate and Barrel, and CB2. I get inspired by these stores and then try do copy their styles on the cheap.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>4. What is your favorite piece of home decor?</strong> Right now it is our Christmas Tree. I don't want to take it down :( The rest of the year, it is our collection of art...Kentucky Derby Poster above the fireplace, Ray <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">LaMontagne</span> poster from Red Rocks, etc.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>5. What do you want visitors to feel when they visit your home?</strong> Warm, cozy, and welcome.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>6. Describe your home in one word and explain why you chose that word.</strong> Lovely... because a lot of hard word went into making this house a home...and I love it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>7. What are some predominate colors or patterns in your home?</strong> dark brown, khaki, grey, blue.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>8. What is your favorite room in your house and why?</strong> I love the living room because it is relaxing and cozy. I think I'll love the screened in porch the most in the summer for dining and entertaining friends.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>9. Do you take a hands on or <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">DIY</span> approach to projects around your home or do you enlist or hire help.</strong> We are almost 100% <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">DIY</span>. When renovating our house from June 2008-September 2009, we only hired a handful of help. (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">HVAC</span> rerouting in the basement, connecting the gas line to the new stove in the kitchen, and installing a new electricity box in the basement) Husband and I did the rest with our own two hands.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>10. Where is your favorite place to shop for home furnishings?</strong> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ikea</span> is the current leader. </div>Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16422462724581458993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156717255193417248.post-78742460192646148992011-01-03T10:35:00.002-05:002011-01-03T10:40:08.314-05:00Favorite Face<div align="center">By far, my favorite face of 2010.

It is gorgeous, green, huge, lovely, and crawling with tons of other photographers on any given day. You've got to either go during the week or get there early on the weekends to avoid the rush of cameras click, click, clicking all around you. Luckily, my cousin and her family were able to meet me during the week to capture some photos of her family, and especially Anna, who just turned 6 months old. See her <a href="http://onalimbpaper.blogspot.com/2010/07/anna-lillian-sisters.html">newborn photos here</a>.<br /><br /></div><p align="center"><a title="jones-10 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5304493286/"><img alt="jones-10" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5122/5304493286_d2797e3af0_z.jpg" width="457" height="640" /></a><br /></p><p align="center"><img alt="jones9" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5122/5304492840_a83ff1664b_z.jpg" width="457" height="640" /><br /></p><p align="center"><a title="jones8 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5303898903/"><img alt="jones8" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5165/5303898903_d70ce1598b_z.jpg" width="640" height="457" /></a></p><a title="jones7 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5304491728/"><img alt="jones7" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5243/5304491728_42a11750ac_z.jpg" width="640" height="457" /></a><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="jones6 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5304491116/"><img alt="jones6" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5129/5304491116_61c9cdf48e_z.jpg" width="457" height="640" /></a><br /><br /></p><p align="center"><a title="jones5 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5303897165/"><img alt="jones5" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5166/5303897165_cab31936e4_z.jpg" width="457" height="640" /></a><br /><br /></p><p align="center"><a title="jones4 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5303896543/"><img alt="jones4" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5168/5303896543_07d6c243a0_z.jpg" width="640" height="457" /></a><br /><br /></p><p align="center"><a title="jones3 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5303896113/"><img alt="jones3" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5081/5303896113_cd82a97bb3_z.jpg" width="640" height="457" /></a></p><div align="center">Could these little Buckeye Fans be any cuter? </div><p align="center"><a title="jones2 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5304489436/"><img alt="jones2" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5289/5304489436_9f765275e6_z.jpg" width="640" height="457" /></a></p><br /><br /><p align="center"><a title="jones1 by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5304488676/"><img alt="jones1" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5086/5304488676_316910c23d_z.jpg" width="457" height="640" /></a></p>Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16422462724581458993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156717255193417248.post-34271619006409965382010-12-27T11:31:00.003-05:002010-12-27T11:40:19.852-05:00Test Post<div align="center">Coming Soon: Photos of Lindyn at 15 days old!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26487975@N00/5297182924/" title="collage-lindyn by On A Limb Paper, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5127/5297182924_2f3b431f2a_z.jpg" width="640" height="320" alt="collage-lindyn" /></a></div>Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16422462724581458993noreply@blogger.com0
