Beautiful Little Lizzy

This little thing is so cute. Her eyes are to die for and the curls on the top of her head are just precious. She is going to be one tough little cookie...She had two active older brothers. Her Mommy has kept many things from when she was a baby. This white dress is the dress she wore when she was 6 months old. Now, she will have side by side pictures in the same outfit. I just love stuff like this.

I Love Instagram App

I was reading thepioneerwoman.com blog. She was talking about the IPhone app called Instagram. She just discovered it and loves it. I have been using this app for a couple of months and just adore this app. It gives some bla photos a cute "Pick Me Up!" So, if you want your Iphone pictures to get a little kick use this app. It's free! Here are a few of mine.

My girl! I love this filter because it has the old negative info. around the edge. Its called the Nashville filter.


Family Boots! Taken by a 4 year old.

This is Brownie our poodle, and my after 8pm photo subject!




And this last picture is what happens when your 4 year old figures out how to use the Instagram app and Mommy has to drive!!

I'm babn26 on Instagram, come follow me. Leave a comment with your user name, I'd love to see your creativity.

A Photoshoot of Mommy (Through the eyes of a 3 yr. old)

When you are forced to bring your 3 year old twins to a photoshoot with you, you will do anything to keep them happy and occupied. Bring in the IPhone camera app. And yes, the 3 year old can navigate herself to the app. all by herself. Then Mommy comes home and discovers that she documented very accurately the evening!

Perfect Evening Family Shoot

I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable family the other evening. I met the Mommy about a year and a half ago through another friend. You know when you meet someone and you just click...That's how I feel about her. She is always sooo excited to see me and always acts so interested in what I have to say. And believe me, I'm not all that exciting and my life is pretty uninteresting. Except when I'm talking about my girls...They are pretty exciting and keep that spice in my life!
I just love this Mommy and her family is stunning! The girls were dressed, Oh So Sara!! You see I like the "We coordinate but don't match look" and this Mommy perfected it oh so well!
Thank you "G" family for allowing me to invade your life this beautiful evening!

A Little Composition Info.

I have a lot of friends that blog about their lives and families. Many times pictures are taken with Mommy's point and shoot camera. Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a point and shoot. I use mine when we are out and about doing something I want to capture on print. Many times we are outside, sun shining, and kiddos running around like crazy. I will come home upload the pictures to my computer and get the kind of pictures shown below. The sun has planted a huge bright spot on my cute baby's face. These are the kinds of pictures I just delete. But here are some, so you can look at them.



Avoiding the sun shining on your child's face is pretty easy. Place the child either directly in front of the sun or directly behind the sun. If you place the child in front of the sun and it's behind them, make sure to use your flash. This will brighten the child's face and not make your child look like they are sitting in the dark. Just pull out your owner's manual and figure out how to make the flash go off no matter what. You could also sit the child in the shade where the sun is out of the picture and a non issue. In my next post, I'll post pictures that I used my point and shoot to take and demonstrate the techniques I have just described.

The Baby that wouldn't sleep...

She finally gave in about 15 minutes before I left. Well, of course I took full advantage of it and started clicking away.

Beautiful Baby Avery

This little beauty was all of two weeks old when we did these photos. I have somehow forgotten just how little newborns are...I think it's selective memory!
