Abby In The Garden

A couple of weeks ago, Mackenzie slept over at a friends, so I decided to take Abby out to the local gardens and take her photos... These have all been post-processed in Adobe Lightroom 2 (I LOVE that program!) It was a dreary, overcast day and most of these probably would have been deletes if it hadn't been for Lightroom!

I thought this was a beautiful profile photo...







And last, one of my favorite photos of the day...

Swimming & Swinging...

I love the expression on Mackenzie's face as she plays with Abby... She is such a good big sister!! The pool pictures aren't as sharp as I would like, but I just love the photos...

My First Scrapbook Page!!

So this is my first ever digital scrapbook page... This is so up my alley! Finally a way I can love scrapbooking!!

Welcome!

Welcome to my photo blog! Ansel Adams was the first photographer that really inspired me with his work and his quote on the top really describes how I feel about photography... "A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed."

I LOVE the subjects that I photograph... My children first and foremost... my family... my friends... even total strangers... And God's amazing creation!

When Zack was a baby, I photographed weddings for a studio and really loved it, but that's the only thing professional I've ever done... I just love to take pictures and now, thanks to the inspiration of some fellow photographers, I've learned to love to edit my photos too!

I'm guessing that it will mostly be my family that stops by and keeps up with our lives in pictures, but anyone is welcome... It may take me a little time to get my photos uploaded to the blog, but hang in there... I'm working on it!

Thanks for stopping by...
