Gorgeous on her Day!!!

365 day 17

This is Tyler. He is smart! He is playing soccer with his

dad !

Black and White- Dramatic

So I haven't felt that I am "good" enough to enter a photo into the I heart faces contest in a while. But this weekend I had a chance to take some family photos and practice on some kids. This little boy was the CUTEST thing EVER!

So the photo............

See the marks on his face... He had just woken up and was NOT going to smile. So all the photos before this were his dad trying to get him to blow raspberries. Well when he realized it made like ALL 50 people waiting behind us laugh he kept doing it. Talk about creating drama!! I was hoping I got this shot when I was shooting away..

So there you have it. A cute little boy being a HAM....

I am officially entering this into I heart faces!! Wish me LUCK!

Fix it friday

This is the original photo that is used for the Fix it! To Participate please go HERE!

These are my fixes for

i ♥ faces...

The crop was done in picnik the rest was done in Lightroom 3. I don't like the last fix as well because of the eye shadows. So something I did must have made it off from what I thought it was.

But those are what I have!

( sorry about those who came by earlier. Apparently, being new to lightroom, I had no idea that it over wrote all my saves in Flickr.. Live and learn RIGHT!

This is my sweet baby bubba...

Love his eye... I think it gives him super power!

Ty was again stuck in the mud. Most of the photos were taken on the same day. I know that is probably against the rules but what do you do!

I love that it shows his foot that goes in. That is part of who is he. He was a disaster and the shoes have YET to recover!

Exposure 1/200

365 day 12

Ty has spent more than half his life in the desert of Arizona. This new found mud has been a hoot! His feet are stuck in this picture and he can't figure out what is going on down there.

What a world to see it through the eyes of a child!

Exposure 1/500

Aperture f/5.6

Focal length 135 mm

365 day 11

This is part of the pictures I took the day we went outside to play in the mud.

it was freezing cold. Tyler LOVED the rocks at the neighbors house.

I thought it captured the look of the rock garden that soon became my Front yard.

365 day 8

Today I was able to take pictures at the LDS temple in SALT LAKE CITY!

I have and should be getting out and taking photos like I took today.

I took some wedding pictures for a friend as well but the photos that I took before and after were very relaxing and made me realize that there is so much beauty all over.

The little things.

The things that others took the time to make.

Things that are inspired.

And the best.

The things that were inspired by God.

Things that I KNOW are true!

To Eternity!

Today Tyler was playing with bubbles.

BUT his attention, like always, turns to our neighbors rock bed.

They are going to need some major thank you cards!

Exposure: 0.008 sec (1/125)

Aperture: f/5.6

It is the same photo, just black and white. I would like to try a texture on it.

365 Day 6

Ty discovered mud today.

Yep.

He sure did

*Focal Length 135 mm f5/6 uploaded to Flickr using Picnik other editing done using CS4 on a Mac*

I have been HORRIBLE about trying to take a photo a day. I took a ton today and a bunch the other day. I am just getting around to editing them tonight. Sorry... I am still trying :)
