Jodie Otte, Baltimore Maryland Child and Baby Photographer

I spent the day preparing photos for clients, sorting through one of my hard drives, and answering emails.  While sorting through my hard drive, I came across a few pictures I took during spring break that I had forgotten about.  One afternoon, I found my son and daughter huddled around my daughter’s old dollhouse (that she NEVER used for people… it was always for animals…. my daughter hates dolls… hates them so much, that I actually saw her bring one out of the house that she wanted to put into our bonfire in the backyard to watch it melt…. the evil laugh after that is what kinda scared me a little….!!!??!!!!)

So what was with the dollhouse?  Hmmm….  well… I do have to admit, my children have always gotten along amazingly well and play very nicely together… they have an amazing ability to compromise!

For the workshop attendees, I told Dean about “beaver1″ that came up in Windows Media Player on the TV screen… he got super embarrassed and wanted to find out what that was.  He knew this was a “family” laptop and it couldn’t be anything bad.  I suspected it was a horrible song by Primus since he is so into music…. but it wasn’t…. and I laughed sooooooo hard when I found out what indeed it was….

What it ended up being is a sound byte.  Dean is such a nature freak that he was listening to sounds of animals he found on the net  - trying to match up what he hears outside…. and the hamster running on the hamster wheel in his head came across “beaver” and thought - what kind of sound do they make?  And here it is….

Okay, now, anyone that meets him in the future, ask him about “beaver1″ and watch his face get red…. lololol!

 I told him I posted this, and he said, “I just can’t believe all you ladies…. I was trying to have a wildlife experience, and you all made me feel dirty….”

lolol!
