Almost there

Betsy has started really reaching for things. Her duck is (almost) in trouble now!

NEW!

Here's a new Betsy photo! I have SO many great pictures of her right now, it's hard to choose!!

Whoa! A bath!

So Sad

I thought this picture was adorable. I'm sad that it's so noisy (I did this to the entire shoot!) but it's still cute!

But how can you resist her in that little pink bonnet??

Send in the Clowns

I couldn't resist! Poor thing was just sitting in the wrong place at the wrong time!

Maybe my favorite

I don't know what it is about this picture. Maybe it's the appeal of the rule of thirds. Maybe it's the peaceful look on their faces.

Sad, yes, cute, yes!!

Inattentive!

This was posed, but I still thought it was funny!

***EDIT***

I just cropped this. Does it work a little better now?

Doll

We did a photo session at the park on Saturday. Here's one I loved. There will be many more to come!

Birthday #2

The 20th was birthday #2. I took some cute pictures of the kids and some strange ones of my sister. Birthday #3 is Friday and it's mine! :)

Skinky

These guys weren't part of what we were going for, but they were a nice surprise. I thought at first that we might get to see some action (which would have been a little disturbing) but they only felt like cuddling!

Old Tree

This tree is huge. I posed Michelle just to try to give an idea of how massive it feels. It's probably as old as the building it guards.

Rosewell 2

Fields

Michelle and I took a trip to see Rosewell this past weekend. We had a blast, learned some things and I got some interesting pictures.

I will miss you Michelle!!

Do you know...

pre-edit

post-edit (2 minutes and not very good)

the only time I ever think about uploading pictures is when I'm sitting here 20 minutes before I have to leave typing an entry.

Maybe I'll do it tonight...

love my baby (unedited)

I still haven't uploaded anything new. This cold is kicking my butt!

This is Betsy and Hank (the pink doll). Betsy was making out/trying to eat Hank!

i have more pictures just waiting on my camera! but there's no time for that now :(

Happy...May!

May is a busy month at my house! We have 3 birthdays, 4 anniversaries, mother's day and now SOLs. This was the first of the celebrations. Friday was the second. Today is the 3rd and tomorrow is the 4th. Whew!

Iris

I was home sick today (nearly dead) and had some time to take a couple pictures. The thought was that these could go in my purple/blue bathroom or guest room. I wonder how it's look on canvas...

after:

This picture was one I played with from the senior portrait practice. I turned the sign! :) My loving husband doesn't like it (it's still not straight, he says) but I think it's pretty cool!

Senior?

I was trying to get some good ideas for the senior pictures I'm going to do later this year and made Michelle come and play with me! We took some that I like, but I don't think any of them are *great.* Part of the problem was that it was a REALLY grey day, which means the colors were blah. Most of the color in this picture I had to add in PP. I think it's a cool idea though. In the future, I'd use a smaller umbrella, crop closer, have more light and find a way to see the water better.

Upside...

Down.

Hannah "can do a bridge" (as long as her head stays on the ground).

Just what I always wanted!

Uh....

Pimp

Everyone had to wear the pimp hat. As Michelle put it, "So many pimps, too few..." well, you get the idea.

Auntie

This is Sarah, my S-I-L and our nieces, Hannah and Elizabeth. Auntie Sarah was helping in the opening process.

This doggy is yucky

The bear's name is "Dog-Dog" and, contrary to popular belief, he doesn't taste so great!
