Yes Erin, it is normal!

"Mama, Mama. Come wook at what I did! Isnt it uhmahzing(amazing)"! says The Boy. "Yes, son..YOU are amazing" says Mama.

Couldnt pick just 1 or 2 or 5....

so Im posting them all. I was blessed enough recently to be able to actually try out my immature photography skills with a little boy that is very dear to my heart. I was so excited when his mommy said I could snap away at him...I could hardly stand the anticipation of the day. On my way to their house, I realized I wasn't nervous like I usually am prior to trying something new. That spoke volumes for me. So I prayed for God to be with me at the shoot. I felt very at ease and was just having a blast. I know I learned a few things about what I would do different next time(oh yes, Paxton's Mommy..there will be a next time). In the meantime, I need to get some classes under belt and a bounce flash(ahem, my birthdays in July). So, here are the pictures I presented to my sweet friend. You complete me(Do the hand motions..DO IT).

"Get off the 'Puter"

You know your in trouble when your two year old is saying "Get off the 'puter, I'm thirsty to death". So, I'm posting these quickly before he dies of the dehydration!!

You Capture

I'm giving You Capture a go. The theme was "Hopeful" I don't suppose I feel like my entry needs much explanation. Go to I should be folding laundry for more entries.

Fix it Friday

Yep, its Fix it Friday at iheartfaces and you know I love a good edit!! The first is the original pic of this little blondie, the second is my edit.

Why, Oh why....

must I be blessed with such a beautiful family!!!! (Thanks Jesus)

Whats your dream?!

Add this to my list of growing photo obsession. When I was little (like last week) I would jump off our porch everyday after school certain that if I practiced enough I could fly. In truth all I could do was give the neighbors something to gawk at and lots of shine splints. Regardless, what little girl doesn't imagine she is a Princess or a fairy or some magical, glittery and iridescent being? So, that's my inspiration. Ive posted my before and afters for these edits. The first is of my own Princess.

Not my own child, but isn't she a beauty?!

Cant take credit for this shot.This was taken by the uber talented Carebear at Cari Berry photography.

Sweet girl.

No, Im not dead.

Entry for I heart hands that I didnt submit

my Sunshine

Cutest dog ever; enough said!

I know I have not been blogging much, but all I really want to do is post pictures without trying to be witty (I know...your shocked that I actually have to try) or funny. I have discovered a joy and peace in taking pictures and editing them into my vision or how the moment felt to me. So, bare with me if my post are nothing but pictures. I like it that way for now, and hope to learn more everyday about photography and editing!!! For the first time in my life...something calls to me (except the constant call of "Mom" from my little blossoms.)
