52 week project! Week 13

I actually took this picture today. It technically doesn't fall within the 13th week.

I took this picture at Marisa's mom's house. I just feel in love with Lydia's furniture! She has the most adorable chairs. I took a couple of shots in between fun and games. This one was my favorite.

52 week project! Week 12

She is such a flirt! Shelby was looking so cute hiding her face in her hands as she was trying to fall asleep. Once I got out the camera, she started flirting with me. We must have stayed up another 30 mins just taking pictures. I don't get great lighting, neither natural nor bulb, in the living room. But I thought that the noise with a b&w conversion made this picture stand out.

52 week project! Week 11

I am sure I am really early for my week 11 posting. I foresee having absolutely no life this week; therefore, I thought I'd jump ahead. I don't want to miss a thing!

I took this one at my son's baseball game. It gets cold around 5pm! It was 55 degrees!!! I really don't know how I survived Tennessee.

Needless to say, I wrapped Shelby in a blanket. The picture opportunity was too perfect!

52 week project! Week 10

My big brown eyes!

Really. She got them from me.

Her daddy has green eyes that I was so hoping for her to have.

But she was blessed with these beauties.

It's her trademark now.

I saw a similar picture on a flyer that was in my mailbox. Thought I would try to capture a pose with a nice colorful background. I grabbed a blanket that I am still quilting for her.

Something simple, yet fun.

1/2 Year Old Beauty!

Here are a few pictures I took of my little half-year old baby girl! :)

I just enjoy taking pictures of her. She is so photogenic.

Both my kids are. I don't know where they get that from :)

Shelby's 1/2 yr. old birthday dinner. She LOVES carrots!

Yes, mommy put the wings on upside-down.

Little Leaguer

Here are a few pics of my mini session with my little leaguer. He is such a great sport! What a natural behind the camera, he came up with most of these poses by himself!

Waiting for Opening Day to begin.

His serious face. :)

His true smile! :)

This was his idea!

This was also his idea! I like it!

This is my idea (that I got from Marisa, a fellow photographer)

This was another one of Chris' ideas! See, he is a natural!

All out of ideas :) He was tired. Don't blame him. You can only take so many orders from mom.

52 week project! Week 9

Today was opening day for our little leaguer. This is his first year ever playing ball, and his coach has been pretty impressed with his skills, not to mention he is the 'class clown' of the team. :) I took a few pictures of Chris, but chose this one to be my project picture!
