One of the things I love about my new iphone is having a camera around that is super easy and accessible. It doesn’t take the greatest of pics but it feels good to have some easy snapshots. Teagan….has been….uhmmmm….busy. Yeah, that’s the word….busy.
(taco night; sacked out after the water park playdate; chair jumpin; chillaxin and stuck in the bumbo; helping mom with the papertowels; door art; terrorizing taryn by turning off the tv; sorting magazines; peekaboo)
these two deserve to be a little bigger. the first shot of yuck and muck cracks me up, silly kids. the second shot…..i ran to the store this evening and when i turned the corner onto our street i saw this. my eyes immediately welled up with tears and i was just so overwhelmed with how much i love my little family. they so adorable walking home from the mailbox….ty was there too but when he saw me stick my phone up to the window he took off running towards the house, stinker. i love them all and feel so blessed that they are mine. without my new toy, this image would only be in my mind dependant upon my memory.
Teagan and my baby would get along VERY well.
I often wonder how you manage your workflow while watching your 3 children…. I have 2 boys (in the age range of your two youngest) and I find myself so disorganized. So, today with your snapshots I realized that all this daily stuff happens to you as well. Thanks for posting it…. it inspires me to keep going.
oh how funny is that.
So its not just me that had a ‘busy’ son then? I have been painting the hall stairs and landing in our house this week and have painted over some of Jacks wall art. Although it looks much nicer now, its sad to see gone cos it made me smile every time I walked past it. Mind you I shouldnt be too sad just yet cos theres the art in the lounge, his bedroom, our bedroom and the bathroom to cover up yet!
You’re the only person I know that can make an iPhone picture look AMAZING. Sheesh. 🙂
I don’t know how much you’ve delved into the world of iPhone pictures yet, but I thought I’d just let you know some things it took me a while to figure out.
First, Photogene is probably my favorite app. You can do a lot, but adjusting levels and even being able to use RGB control of Black and White’s is great. I also like Cool FX but don’t use it too much. And there is a free Curves program called, I think, “Curves Free” or something to that effect.
Also, something I didn’t find out forever (thought it’s kinda obvious, so maybe I’m just slow) is that your phone doesn’t actually take the picture until you release your finger from the screen. So keep your finger on the button until the shot comes up. This will help with timing (though it still lags) and it will definitely help with camera shake.
I love my phone. I love it. Did you get the 3G or the 3GS? I’m so jealous of the 3GS owners!
lyndsay, this post cracks me up! teagan and john michael would get along very well!!!! maybe you, me and jennifer should have a playdate? wait, it would be total destruction.
These are fantastic! I think it’s sososo important for us photogs to still take snapshots of everyday life with our little ones. The portraits are gorgeous but these day-to-day life shots are just priceless.
Enjoy your vacation!
