Aubrey on Etsy!

This morning I received a hat from Etsy for Aubrey. I thought this unique and funky hat would be super cute this fall. Dale thinks she looks like Annie!

I used the opportunity to try a new background and light setup in my studio. Then, I sent the pictures to the creator of the hat and she loved them and is now using them on her site! You can see Aubrey here at HuggaBeans on Etsy. You can also see more pictures of her in the the hat here, on my other blog.

Logan's Photo Shoot

Over the last couple of days I have been experimenting with taking portraits of the kids with a white background. I don't have any special equipment, just my camera, a window and a white towel. Today was Logan's turn. I saved him for last because he is by far my most difficult to shoot. He is not a portrait guy....more suited for action shots. He wants nothing to do with sitting in one spot. I managed to get a few, but he needed something to hang on to to distract him for a few seconds. Aubrey's hat was nearby, and he loves to put all types of clothing on his head, so it worked and gave him something to do. Click here to see more from Logan's photo shoot.

Wordless Wednesday

I have started another blog for my photographs...Picture Place. It's so fun taking pictures of babies!

A few photos...

I'm having a ton of fun with my new camera....and I'm getting to know my camera better each day. I'm having a lot more luck with focusing and getting clearer images. My goal is to get good enough at this that I won't have to take my kids in to professional photographers anymore. It's just too hard to haul them around anymore than I have to, and it will save some money in the long run. (Thank you Auntie Amy for the cute outfit Aubrey is wearing!)
