Once Upon A Time

There was a cowboy and his cowgirl, and their little buckaroos.

The youngest son buckaroo's personality was captured to a tee in the next picture.

Hope you enjoyed your sneak peek.

I'm working on getting caught up from a couple of sessions. My kids have been sick so hopefully I will get some work done this week.

My youngest...........

Photobucket

My husband issued a challenge of sorts.

His words, "Do you think it's kind of funny that you take pictures professionally, but you don't have any of our own kids printed."

Well hubby dear, I just edited about twenty pictures. Sent 12 to be printed (the one above included).

My next post will talk about shooting in manual, the only way to shoot.

Making Memories

Photography is the gift of lasting memories........that is why I love it so much.
Last night as I was finishing dinner the girls asked if they could eat dinner with their new tea sets. Why not? Even everyday, normal routine moments can be made memorable with simple things.

I got the girls this tea set awhile ago on ebay. Planning to use if for my oldest's birthday.
I used it last night with dinner and made wonderful hot chocolate. I was a little worried. My littlest, 18 months, even drank from a tea cup, and miraculously didn't spill.

Try making a routine moment memorable today. It will make your day.

Now I am off to finish editing a session. My computer decided it needed more memory, silly thing. So I have been trying to free up some memory while working. {Sigh.}

A glimpse into the future........

I had a session today with four girls.......
It was hilarious; I imagine my life will be pretty similar when my girls are older
Here is a sneak peek for you Krystn.

These girls were so much fun!

Most of the time I didn't even have to ask them to do anything, they just posed themselves.

The funniest part of the night, after we finished at the location above I took them to a field of sorts.

They were completely disgusted that they had to sit on dirt; I can't even describe it!

It was so funny. They were soooo done, and wanted nothing to do with it

You are going to have lots of choices Krystn, hope you like what you see so far.

Haven't been so great about posting here........

I have been busy and I have a family blog too.......this one
tends to get neglected.
Today I decided to do a post about taking pictures.
I love to take pictures, I love to capture the moment.
I am still learning but I thought I would share a little bit of what I know.
When I first started out I wasn't quite sure what kind of lens to get or who to ask.
I started out with the canon 50mm 1.8.
When I went to buy the lens, the sales guy said, "Ah, fantastic plastic."
The lens is plastic, but it creates beautiful images.
I'm sure eventually it will wear out and I will have to replace it, but the price is
what will get you.
$100.00
For a lens........uh, duh?
Who wouldn't buy this lens.
It is perfect for shooting inside, so perfect for Mommy's trying to get shots of kids inside the house.
It works great outside; I love this lens.
I use it almost all the time.
So if you've been wondering what lens to buy.......try the "fantastic plastic" lens.
Your pictures will have nice soft backgrounds like below.
