It’s beginning to feel a lot like Summer!  We brought the hose and buckets out to wash all of the Little Tikes cars, boats and picnic tables that fill up our porch. The kids had a blast, and you can guess who ended up doing all of the cleaning (with breaks to take pictures, of course!).

I have been working on getting nice, crisp eyes. I have been very unsuccessful at all of my attempts. This is the closest so far. All of my pictures are very noisy too, I am not sure if it is me or my camera. I ordered Bryan Petersons book Understanding Exposure. Hopefully that will help. I think that my biggest problem is that my pictures are just not properly exposed. It’s supposed to ship tomorrow, so I will have a lot of reading and practicing to do next week!

I have been paying more attention to my photos. Instead of just snapping away, looking for the perfect picture, I have been watching them. Always having my camera ready, that way when I see what I want, I am ready to snap. I am much happier with my results. Now exposure and focus still need some work, but I am sure I will get it eventually.

Just some happy snaps for me! I just can’t get enough of him lately. He is just growing so much, and learning so many new things. It just amazes me. Not to mention how much of a mama’s boy he is! It seems at times he could just cuddle all day…especially when he has his puppy, which he calls “kitty.”

One of my favorites from over the weekend.
I wanted this weekend to just be slow pace..nice and relaxing. Just spending time as a family. There was a kids day going on here, with a petting zoo. Admission was free so we decided to go. Knowing it was free..we probably should have known better. The “petting zoo” was four very small cages with a few barn animals in them. The kids enjoyed it, but I felt bad for the animals. Other activities consisted of many booths set up, with different handouts, that as my husband put it looked like books from Goodwill. There was also a large blow up slide, and a maze for children five and up. We thought since that was such a dissapointment we would just go to the zoo. On the way there our daughter had an accident, so we had to come home to change clothes. It was then too late, so we thought we would go to Ikea. While we were there our son broke out with a fever, and on the way home our daughter began vomiting. So today, we are all sick…with two cranky children.

These are also from the play date yesterday.
I am not overly crazy about posed shots, but Miss ‘H’ was sitting there so pretty and sat still while I took a few photos of her. I am working on having a more creative, unique style. Hopefully it is starting to show, but obviously not in the first picture!
And one of my little guy because he is just so stinking cute and is getting such a bold personality!

Little miss ‘M’ is quite the rough little girl. I am friends with her mother and this is from our play date. I will be photographing her and her sister soon for a practice session, which I am really looking forward to!
