Tu Tu Girl

My Little Saylor girl is getting so much bigger. In an effort to preserve some memories, I have been trying as hard as I can to take pictures of her. She was having some much fun despite the drool and cutting teeth.

More Practice

I think the hardest people to take pictures of is kids. They just move around so much and get distracted. My friend Abi is always willing to be my victom of taking pictures. She is always so willing to let me take pictures and learn new things. I have been having fun with my new lens and the photoshop actions my hubby bought me. Here are some pictures of her family. Taylor is the oldest, Kate is the middle child and Trey is the baby. Oh yeah, the hubby is Joe.

Because Girl Will be Girls

I am having too much fun with Photoshop. I have just been practicing lately!

Sweet little Trey

Today while we were out and about I took a couple of pictures of Abi's little baby boy. I just had to put them up. He is just so adorable...

Mama and her boys

Laura is a friend of mine and has two handsome boys. I took a couple of pictures of them today at my house. All five kids were awake and crazy. But we still got a couple of cute pics. She happens to be pregnant and having a girl. I cant wait to see the baby and take pictures of her. But for now I just had to get a picture of her belly while she was here. More to come on her belly when she is further along. Thanks laura for being willing to let me practice on your boys!!!





Conner is five years old and is such a sweet boy. He reminds me of mine six years ago. Here are a couple of him...









Dallin is two and is super excited about life. You can see it in his eyes. Of course he didn't want to sit still. What two year old does. But I think he is adorable...

Lavender

Lavender is my favorite color. So what goes better with Lavender then my sweet baby girl! I found this hat at the gap and just had to have it.

New Lens

My Sweet Husband like's to indulge me in my hobby's. Let me tell you there are many of them that I am always wanting to learn to do better. I guess I like it because I can see the results quicker then the results of kids. Who knows. But Last night I got a new Lens. Here it is, The 50 mm F/1.4. Thanks babes for always putting up with all my WANTS in life! You truly are amazing.

P.S. this was a quick snap after ballet.

Actions

I love photoshop, and I love all the things that you can do with it. Lately my new favorite thing has been actions. It changes the appearance of the pictures. Reagan was nice enough to buy some for me the other day. I was playing around with them and here is what I came up with. I know these are old photo's and everyone has already seen them. But here they are.

I will be playing around more with all the actions that reagan got me. More to come!

Black and white or Color?

I think I light black and white the most. I think because it hides blemishes. Unless it's a picture that is full of fun colors!!!

Ballerina Girls....

Here are some pics I took of the girls in there ballet outfits. I am trying to take some pictures to hang on my lame empty wall!!!
