I learned a new technique this morning browsing the web. How cool is this? It makes me want to go through all our hawaii photos and play. If you want to learn how to do this you can check it out here: Orton Technique

I’ve been meaning to take some photos of Kylie (or “kiwi” as Taryn calls her) and today was a good day to do it. Taryn wasn’t in the mood and not feeling well, so Kylie was my target (I took a total of 10 photos today – I wonna play with my new camera dang it!). She’s as bad as our other children about avoiding eye contact, she dislikes the camera. I look at this photo and think she looks old 🙁 I don’t see it day to day though as she spins through the house like a tornado dog, wagging her tail with gusto….but she is getting old and it makes me sad. Ok, weird crop, I know. But […]

I’ve been dying to take some pictures of Ty with his turtle. Escaper got a little freaked out by our big black dog licking her chops and wouldn’t poke his head out though….can’t say I blame him! and I have to throw this one in…..I get this face every single time I take out the camera. He’s 9 🙂 Ok, I’m off for the rest of the day, I’ve got to go work on the newsletter for Ty’s school. Taryn will be relieved to get a break from the black box of torture. Sometimes I think when she’s grown she’ll wonder why no one is following her with a camera!

with both my muse and the camera. I’m loving the fact he wants to cooperate for the new camera. I better take advantage of it before the newness wears off! And can you believe when I was proofing this I told him how handsome he is and his response was “No I’m not!”. Oh good Lord, is he kidding?!? Maybe it’s my Mommy goggles but I think he’s just the cutest thing ever 🙂 I have more but won’t be able to proof them until after the kiddos are in bed. The best part – no noise! I didn’t even run a reduce noise on it! Yeah baby!!!

my mommy got a new what ???? a Canon 5D ???? sweet! Sorry I didn’t post sooner, its been busy, I got several orders in that needed tending to and tried playing around with the new 5D a bit. It’s a monster and makes my D50 look like a midget! And I haven’t even put the speedlight on it or the grip I bought yet. I love it, I really do. I must say that it is overwhelming to learn a new lens and camera at the same time. I feel like I’m learning a new language switching from Nikon to Canon. I’ll be posting more as I play!
