What is she thinking?

Happy Girl

Waiting

 

Here is a darker version

Today was my little bitty's 3rd day of preschool and she could not wait to get to school!! So we left the house 30 minutes early. We had some time to waste so I thought it would be fun to take some pictures of her. She is not much into cooperating for the camera. My girly girl likes to give me a lot of excuses for her unwillingness to look at the camera or sit down on the ground. "It's too sunny mom!!" "The ants will get me." and many more reasons. I miss the days when she didn't mind getting her picture taken. I was so thrilled when I got a GREAT shot of her.

Your probably sick of these...but I'm not.

Here's one more

Happy Snapping!

So I have been working on my editing skills...

I love editing and I mean I love it a lot!! I think I might love it more than taking the photos. I use Picnik for editing my photos. I love picnik.. but if I could I would get Paint the Moon editing package. Way too expensive at this point. Maybe for Christmas?!?! Now that would be AWESOME :)  I am so in love with all of the beautiful things you can do with your photos.

So what do you think? If only all of you new how HORRIBLE my photo editing skills were when I first started this photo obsession. Let me share a couple of pictures I edited when I first started.  Can you all tell which ones are the two I edited in the beginning of my photo hobby? Yikes!! So the point I'm trying to make is don't GIVE UP!! on whatever your dream may be. :) Happy snapping to you all and I will see you soon.

Starting a Photo Blog

So I started a photo blog a couple months back and decided to close it down. I thought it would be fun to start documenting the progress I make in photography. It's really cool to see yourself improving in a hobby. These pictures were taken of my little girl for her first day of preschool.

One of the things I have learned when it comes to taking a good picture is talking to your subject about things they are intrested in, those our the times that I got some really great photos out of my kids. I will continue to be sharing great tips for taking a great photo of your kiddos.
