4:52 Week Picture - Tired

I had Chris take this picture of us because this is how it is for me every day during nap time! Haha. I hold Braden while Shelby squeezes in to snuggle. I'm just thankful that they take naps at the same time!

Next week's theme: Sleep. That ought to be easy :)

3:52 Week Picture - Macro

I started following another blog's 52 week suggestion guide. This week, the subject is macro. I am not good with macro shots. I've always envied those who have taken sharp pictures of insects. However, I am also not found of insects. So this shot is a macro shot of a water drop.
This was fun but definitely not an easy task! It took me a couple of days to come out with a descent picture. It still isn't what I was striving for. I found it difficult to control water like Moses :) But I am proud of it.

So here is my fat water drop.


Next week: the subject is Tired.
I think I've got that down, if only I can take a self portrait :)

My beautiful children

This isn't one of my photos of the week.
I just decided to take pics of my kids. Aren't they adorable? :)

My handsome young man.

My beautiful little girl.

My adorable little boy.

I'm so blessed to have such wonderful children!

2:52 Week Picture

So my wireless network card went out on my computer so I can't post the pics that I downloaded from my camera this week. However, thank goodness for iPhones! :) So this week's pic is going to be from my phone.

We were running errands today and stopped to let Shelby get out of the car for a bit.

In this picture, she was obviously done with the swing :) I like this photo because I was able to get her looking into the sun while capturing her shadow in the background. Of course I spruced it up a bit with my Photoshop app. :)

1:52 Week Picture

It's been awhile!
One of my many New Year resolutions is to become connected with my photography again. Last year my Hubby bought me a Canon 7D so I can become serious with photography, and I really have slacked. I take pictures, but not like I really want to. It hasn't been easy getting some alone time with a newborn and a toddler.

So no more excuses! Here is my first picture of the year! YAY :)



I am playing around with black & white conversions. I created a mini-studio in our loft room. I am very excited to practice with Braden on his monthly pictures. I promise I will limit all my postings on my newborn son. I do have two other kids :) LOL. I would like to stick with children photography. Kids are so much fun!
