I love it when friends want me to take their photos.  It means so much to me to not only capture my kiddos and their growth but to able to do it for the ones that are special {or becoming special} to you…it’s an honor.

What a pleasure it was photographing this little guy. The best temperament you’ve ever seen. No fussing just pure smiles, giggles and “I’m not sure what your doing but go right ahead” looks.  It was cool!  Here are a few of little “L’s” 9 month pictures.

The two thing I love most about photography is “the moment”  The moment to see a frame in time that you’ll never see again. And creating relationships!  Life couldn’t be sweeter.

I was so pleased to get to snap photos of this adorable duo!  What an honor to have someone request you take photos of them.  And cutie pies they are.  Here’s a sneak peak of their photos.  What do you think?

My fave so far! But every time I go to edit one I fall in love with it!

My Babies! I can breathe there breath in the morning and know which child is snuggling me. I can hear their laughs on the phone and know exactly what’s tickling them. When they’re running in the grass I know which one will start to cry first because the wind is blowing the wrong way.  My babies.  Born 1 minute apart and are so different but everything alike.

Anytime is a great time to snap a picture when they are giggling, tickling each other and just plain being silly.

Hoping everyone had a blessed Mother’s Day {for all women}

Back when I had the twins almost 5 years ago, I had no camera.  Well, I had a very archaic Olympus Optical C3000Z.  If you aren’t sure what or who that is..let me show you:

I took this picture with this camera. I should also add, this digital camera was so old, when placed on high resolution it could only hold 7 pictures.  You can only imagine how many times I would need to shoot, download and shoot again in a day.  And I can confirm, I had no idea what I was doing other than trying to capture my babies.  And this precious angel only weighed in at 3 lb 11 oz. I wanted…no…I needed to capture it all!  Everything and couldn’t. But I made do and am so glad I did.

Focal Length: 6.6 mm

Exposure time: 0.025s (1/40)

Aperture: f/2.8

Iso: 100 {what was I thinking}

This could have been a great shot! that’s all I kept thinking about if I had the right lens. Shaky Hand because of low light. How do I remedy this? Well once it’s blurry it’s blurry. Sharpening it will only make it look crisp in areas it should not be…i.e. absolutely crazy picture. So I tried to enhance in areas that I thought were would draw you away from the flaws {blurry eyes} I used a action to antique some of the color but keep it natural.

Do you see another way to enhance my mistakes besides shooting with a tripod and having the right lens?…LOL
