I saved my favorite for last!

Spontaneous Water Play

An afternoon shower led to an impromptu splash party for my two little ones. Here is a big hint of two reasons why I so "needed" the nice set of dual washer and dryers my sweet hubby just bought me.

 

 

 

 

Stop by tomorrow for some more rainbrella fun and rain dancin'!

Boys Will Be Boys

My plan was to go grocery shopping, but an unexpected downpour resulted in some spontaneous water play. More to follow soon.

 

Sunbrella Fun!

Splash of Color

I've been posting a lot of black and white lately and thought I might need to add a splash of color! I'm really behind on processing my images, and even further behind on organizing and printing them. My goal for the year is to get last years photos published in an album. Some days being so behind on my images makes me not want to take anymore...but the light and the cuteness of my kids lure me out, and so my back log grows.

 

Shutter Love

The past few days have been packed with activities, but I've managed to squeeze in some shutter time.  I'm continuing to improve upon the techniques I learned in the Visualization class I took last week.   Here are a few shots from the last few days.

May - I Clicked It Up A Notch

This month I really clicked it up a notch. First I took advantage of Click In Moms Mother's day special and joined! I also purchased Emma Wood's breakout session on Visualization from Click In Moms. Boy, did it change the way I shoot and edit my b&w! I have fallen in love with them, since gleaning tips on seeing the light and capturing shadows. I've taken so many shots throughout the month that I had a REALLY hard time choosing which was my favorite. I love most all of them.  I'm a sucker for eyelashes, and that is what I love about this photo of my daughter.  Also love the mid-day light streaming in an east window.  I used a black fleece blanket draped over our bookshelves for the background.  Saved me a bit of pp time.   In fact I did so well capturing this shot that the only pp I did was a slight bump on the shadows curve, some sharpening and a bit of vignetting.
