Another Cutie Patootie

Munching on Goldfish crackers laughing at the crazy lady with the camera.


Thanks for letting me share.

@ the Park

Yesterday I took my youngest to a playdate at the park. I always bring my camera along as entertainment for me. I captured a few photos of these adorable boys.







These photos made me even more excited for my photo session with their family coming up soon.

Photobucket seems to be having issues and not showing the pictures!!

Such a Beautiful Little Girl

Now if we could just get her to sit still!

More sneak peeks for her mommy.



I'm envious of the red stool. LOVE it! I so wanted a shot of T sitting on it but that was not going to happen. I hurried and snapped this one as she was getting down, lol.



Back to burning these onto a disc. :)

Little Cuties...

Here are a few photos from a shoot I did yesterday for a friend.





The coat and scarf belong to my little girl but can I get a good pic of her in it? Nope. You would assume I had a ton of wonderful pics of my children but no! Bribes are no longer working and it is driving me crazy. My children will no longer humor me so I have to borrow my friend's kids, lol.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a great day. My sister and I are meeting for a practice photo shoot, hoping to capture some nice photos of each other and our kids. Wish us luck! We have two toddlers and a 6 month old in tow. Should be interesting!

Impromptu Shoot...

Such a cute fam so I thought I'd share a few.















Comments, advice, and constructive criticism are appreciated as I am always trying to learn and improve. Thanks!

The Cutest Stocking Stuffer...

I had such a fun time taking pics of this cute little guy. He is just adorable.
I thought I'd make a slide show to share some of the photos. Hope you enjoy them!

I'd love to know what you think and constructive criticism and advice always welcome.

Using Negative Space...

It isn't always necessary to fill your frame when taking a photograph. Negative space can give your photograph balance. Negative space is the space around your subjects. Including the negative space in your composition can help add more emphasis to your main subject. Using negative space is probably my favorite composition technique.
Here's an example...

Tutu cute...

I made this super cute tutu last night and could hardly wait until this morning to have a photo shoot with my 2 year old little cutie!
Here are some of my favorites so far. I took around 200 shots and was pleasantly surprised that many of them turned out great! Which is not common with a 2 year old. I had time to play around with a few of the photos in my photo editing program. Such fun!











Let me know what you think. Remember I'm a newbie but constructive criticism and suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.
