Something New...

Inspired by some other photographer friends of mine, I've decided to give this look a try. It will take some tweaking and perfecting, but I'm diggin' it!!!

Let me know what you think???

A Baby Bump...

My good friend, from way back in the day, agreed to be my first maternity model. She did a wonderful job! Here are a couple images from her shoot...


Mrs L--Thank you for being a wonderful model this past weekend! Good luck having that little baby boy. We will see you soon!

Apples, these are the apples previously mentioned for use in the ABC book, which hasn't been worked on in a while...don't they look YUMMY!?!

Weekend Wedding

And they went to the chapel...

366-15 new photos

WOW!!! 15 new photos to add...granted they're not all taken in one day, I just haven't had much time lately to put them together and post. So...

1-Rose-a photograph from my grandmas wedding May 17th, 08. I was going for something different than the normal ring shot.

2-Ice Cream- taken to put in the ABC book (which I haven't worked on in a while either, but I did buy apples this week, just for that purpose)

3-Sunglasses- a day at the park and the princess needed her glasses.

4-Fruity- you can't get more fruity than citrus zest. Yummy!

5-Green- green everywhere...the grass, Miss Princess' shirt...

6-Perfect- there's nothing more perfectly peaceful than a sleeping child, it's not often I get to snap a photo of that, especially when she's snuggly with her bunny and no binki in her mouth!

7-Reminder- of spring...daffodils are what remind me of spring the most, a season that comes and gos quickly around here.

8-Rain- after a night of rain, I wanted to try to capture the droplet on a blade of grass, this was done around 7am.

9-Family-my family. My wonderful & loving husband, and our precious little Daddy's Girl!

10-Make-up-a la 15 month old application....a washable marker makes great lipstick!!!

11-Hat- an empty bowl, sticky with cheese makes a great hat. Every one should take fashion advise from a child.

12-Summer- not quite summer here yet, but the temps this past week were great for getting out and splashing around in the baby pool, bikini, piggie tails and all.

13-Tradition-Mommy's baking oatmeal, raisin/trail mix cookies, and Anna's already learned how to lick the spatula (thanks to Daddy)

14-Self-Portrait-I was bored one day and thought I'd give it a try (again). I still need to get a trigger/remote it would make focusing much easier, and probably work better!

15-Handmade- Anna's shirt to wear to her first rodeo, compliments of Mommy. Of course it had to match her adorable John Deere Boots!!!

366-A few to catch up

Oh my goodness, where does the time disappear to??? I am a bit behind, but here to post a few to catch up a little bit. I'm also going to work on posting more often...


Anna's absolute most favorite toy is her bunny named "Rabbi" (pronounced rab-be). She loves on that thing like there is no tomrrow. The only toy I've ever seen go through the washer and dryer x2 and still sing!

Anna is most happy when she's outside helping her daddy. She thinks she knows how to use his tools already. As you can see, shes fixing the step on the big truck.

How could you not fall in love with that smile!?! She melts my heart that little stinker!

Anna's first Easter eggs colored at Grampa Mack and Grammy Lynn's. Some even came with fingerprints, lined up opposite the crackeled smash marks..lol.

Little fingers exploring the wet sand after a rainstorm...boy did she love that. However wasn't too fond of the taste.
.....................................................................

Will post more tomorrow...at least that is the goal!

12 of 12, March

Normally, today would be a posting day for 12 of 12. However, I've completely spaced it and didn't even realize that today was the 12th. If I took pics of what I saw all day, none of you would visit my blog again...as my DD was ill today with the flu. YUCK!
Maybe things will be better tomorrow, and I'll post anyways...

366-Childhood, Duplicate, Pineapple, Pancake

Childhood:
Little Anna growing so fast, and finally has enough hair for pigtails and hair-dos, which she picked out! We're outside at the "home away from home", enjoying a nice pre-spring day. She likes to ride her bike, but can only seem to get it to move in reverse!








Duplicates:
We walk down and visit these "twins" everyday. At least while we are staying at the "home away from home". The RV park has a nice pond and lots of green grass. Which Anna loves.





Pineapple:

This was a photo I took for another challenge. It was to take a photo of something around you between 10 and 1015am. Since Anna was sleeping, this was my choice for the shot, since it was right there sitting on the counter.








Pancakes:

Breakfast on the weekends usually consists of a few things. Most likely bacon, eggs (only for RH and Anna, cause I can't stand them), and pankcakes, waffles, french toast or occasionally biscuits and gravy. Every weekend we have breakfast as a family since we don't get that during the week.
