A's 10 Month Photos

Here is G's friend A again. And yes this is out of order also, as you previously saw her one year pictures here. She is the sweetest little girl, always giving everyone hugs. There are a lot of pictures as I really like how a lot of them turned out. Again, I was having fun with some Photoshop actions on some of these. Enjoy!

Blaze and S and T

Meet my parents' dog Blaze. She's a spunky thing, that's for sure. Here is a picture of my sister S with Blaze.

When I took that picture, I also took a few of my sister S with her son T. (Yes, I was having fun with a Photoshop acidic action.)

A's Birthday Photo

Here are some pictures I took of G's friend A on her first birthday. Her shirt says "Birthday Girl". How cute!

G - 11 months

Yes, I realize these posts are out of order, and that is a bit bothersome to my type-A side, but that's how it goes when the blog is new. I'm just going back a few months and finding my favorite pictures.

Here are some casual ones I took of G around the house, just for practice. I played with some Photoshop actions on some of them, as you can see. I think it can add a lot to an otherwise regular picture, especially since I am still learning Photoshop. I also like his expressions in these; so serious!

no action used

an acidic action

a midnight sepia action

a black and white action

In case you can't read it, his shirt in this last one says, "My Dad is stronger than yours".

G's First Birthday!

Here are a couple pictures I like from G's first birthday party.

Everyone singing Happy Birthday!

Baby Number Four!

In April my good friend M was in town for a visit and asked me to take a few maternity pictures for her. She is expecting their fourth child this summer and really wanted a picture with her children's hands on her belly. We took that picture, plus a few more.




In the next one I used a Photoshop action to give this a midnight sepia look. I really like the soft glow it gives.

Hunter and Oreo

Meet cats Hunter and Oreo. Can you guess who is who?

Oh, and my sister K is in these too! ;)

Newborn Baby J - A Little Peanut

A few months ago I had the honor of photographing sweet baby J. He's the third child of my good friends; their third boy! You met his mom here. Look at this sweet little peanut!

Almost Five

Here are some pictures of my good friend J when she was very pregnant with her third baby; their third boy! Their family of five was right around the corner as sweet baby J was born about two weeks after these were taken. Isn't she beautiful? By these photos you'd never guess she'd had a rough pregnancy (to say the least).

G's 15 month pictures!

Last weekend we went to a local arboretum to take my son's 15 month pictures. My husband came along to help. Boy it sure is hard to try to get pictures of an active and curious toddler! But I was pretty happy with what I got; here are my favorites! (Click on them to see them bigger - it's better!)








And this last one was a result of us trying to get him to look at the camera by asking, "Where's mama?" It makes me smile!

The S Family

I recently took some family pictures for my good friend K. Isn't their little boy so cute? I love those curls! Here are some of my favorite pictures from that day.
