Sneak Peek for Mel!



A couple weeks ago I had the funnest time doing pictures of my friend Mel's little guy, Jackson. Isn't he scrumptious? I could just eat his face he is so yummy, although I was told in a text that some naughty little neighbor beat me to it! Poor little guy.


Anyway these are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

There is this blog that I totally love, it has the cutest ideas for scrapbooking on it. It's called Just Us by Elizabeth Kartchner (did I spell that right, I better go back and look). She had this idea to have your cameras ready and on July 8th 2009 you should take a picture of whatever you are doing at 10:11 and this is what I was doing


10:11 am- Grocery shopping with Braden. I think most of you know that the photography thing is more of a hobby and I just have fun with it as a little side gig. I am actually a (very) full time nanny. We were at Albertsons and I had this cute idea for Taryn to hold a carrot and a mango to represent number 10 and I had Braden holding a piece of rhubarb and a cob of corn to represent 11. Well. . . first they looked at me funny, then they tried to eat the items in their hands (yes Taryn was licking the corn silk -ew!) and when I told them not to they cried and said they were SOOO hungry. It was then that Taryn saw the donut cabinet and bolted. I always said I would control my children and no amount of temper-fitting would make me like those moms who let their kids open a box of crackers before paying to avoid a tantrum. . . Yeah that notion just flew out the window today! And you know what? It was kinda fun! No one looked at me funny, and the cashiers thought the kids were hilarious and gave them stickers and little plastic rings in the shape of baby bottles that said "Its a Girl!" This picture is of Braden showing off his treat.

And 10:11 pm




These ones I just went out in the backyard and did a very long exposure in the moonlight. I love how the moonlight makes everything seem to glow in a much more ethereal way than sunlight. Yeah and it was dark and autofocus doesn't work so well and I had a hard time focusing so the focus is super soft, but I kinda like it, it looks sorta like a painting I think.




Thanks for the super fun idea Liz!
