Guinea Pig

So my wonderful babysitter extraordinaire has been wanting to learn all about photography....and has come to me for some advice.  Not that I am an expert by any means, because I am not....but I am happy to share what I have been learning.  A couple of weeks ago she wanted to go shoot with me so she could work on some things.  Man it's hard to be in front of the camera when you are used to being behind it.  And of course, I am much more critical when it comes to images of me.  But Debra is such a good sport and is so good about taking constructive criticism.  Here's what we've been working on.

Yes more pics of my kids....can't help it.

When I haven't shot for a few days....I end up going through my older pictures and editing them.  It's fun because I am always learning new things about the software I use. These were from when I took their fall pics.  Practice makes perfect right.  

Fall Costume Party 2009!

Thought I would share some pics of the kids and David in their costumes.  We aren't big fans of Halloween....but the kids and daddy love to dress up.  We enjoyed going to Church for the Fall Famtastic Party.  The kids played carnival games, enjoyed face painting, a hayride, and of course the bouncer.  Then we headed over to some friends house for another party.  David  is always such a good sport when it comes to dressing up.  He thought my costume I got him was hilarious.  Although he did spend most of the night with a pillow in his lap...the spandex was a little tight.  I wore a statue of liberty costume....sorry no pics.  That's what happens when your the photographer in the family.
