Favorite Photo Friday

I actually remembered to do a Favorite Photo Friday post today. I usually do it along with my Tot School posts, but since I'm not doing Tot School posts right now I forgot to do this one. I am probably the most forgetful person you know. Oh well, here it is.


This isn't a photo using a lot of photographic elements, but I really like it because it tells a story. This was October of last year. We went to the pumpkin patch and M&M had a wagon she was pulling around. Well the pumpkins got in the way so with all of her might she rolled them out of the way.

I can not believe that this was a year ago. This was during the beginning of my third trimester and I felt like, October, November and December lasted SO long! Now this year has gone by SO fast. My baby is almost 10 months old! Does it seem like time goes faster the older you get? It sure seems like it.

This picture is of my daughter this past spring. It was starting to warm up outside, my 4 month old was asleep and so I did a photo shoot with her in our backyard. I can only wonder what it is she is thinking about right here. Oh, the mystery of a child's mind.

Favorite Photo Friday

So here's my second Favorite Photo Friday. It's another flower/nature picture. I took these pictures right after getting my new Nikon D40 camera a couple of years ago. I loved being able to focus on something and having the rest of it be blurry.


Since I decided a little bit ago that I wasn't going to put pictures of my kids on here I've decided to break down and do it. I've since learned how to do a "watermark" of sorts so I can at least have my stamp on it.

Someone asked last week what editing program I use. I use Picasa 3. I have Photoshop as well, but not the most recent one. I think it's CS? Is that an actual one? haha. I haven't taken the time yet to learn Photoshop yet, but I do like the free actions you can find online! I've just downloaded some actions for Photoshop and I'm really excited to use them.

Favorite Photo Friday

Before blogging came into my life learning about photography was one of my main hobbies. I also love to edit photos. So I wanted to combine two of my hobbies with what I will call "Favorite Photo Friday." I will either choose a picture that I have taken that week and edited or I will go into my archives of thousands of pictures that I have and post it. This is just something that I want to do because I have so many pictures from before I started blogging that I never got to post. ;)
If I ever make a book out of my blog I want those in there, etc.
Anyway, I know there's similar memes out there and I'm doing this for myself, but if anyone else wants to join in let me know so I can come check it out! I love looking at all kinds of photography; portraits, landscapes, any and all. I get inspired by looking at other people's pictures.

So here's the first one. This is one from my archives.

iHeart faces week 28: Feet

I have seen the blog I heart faces and loved the idea, but never thought I had anything worthwhile, but when I saw the theme for this week I knew I had to enter.



I love this picture because it shows my daughter's feet after she's played with sidewalk chalk for about an hour. I love all of the details and lines you can see in her feet.
