Trendy Treehouse challenge "Weddings"

I love weddings!!!! I loved my wedding, I love family weddings, I love any wedding. They are a time to celebrate all things good. Love, family, faith, and food. Nothing tastes quite as sweet as wedding cake!

So, now that I'm trying to learn more about using my camera I love weddings even more because it gives me a chance to take pictures of people other than my girls. But I'm very careful not to become the "Uncle Bob." According to the photographers I know, there's an "Uncle Bob" at every wedding. The guy who thinks that just because he has a DSLR that he knows better than the professional photographer that the couple hired. He gets in the way of shots. His flash is going off in church. He's just generally annoying. I vow never to be "Uncle Bob." I vow to stay out of the way. And if you, the pro, feel like I'm staring at you, it's just because I'm stalking your equipment.

So, the photo challenge over at trendy treehouse this week is weddings. My cousin Christi got married two weeks ago at a beautiful affair up in Northern WI. I just loved their getaway car!

Raw(e) Photo Challenge Lamps

Isabelle's room needed something fun to spice it up a bit. Thank goodness for Ikea! This fabulous sun lamp looks perfect up on her ceiling. The only problem is that we can't take pictures in there anymore because it gives everything a yellow cast!

For all 11 of my followers...

I just wanted to apologize for all the posts cluttering up your reader. I think next week I'm going to post all the photo challenges in one post. Have a great night and thanks for visiting!

Mello Yellow Mondays...

I love this idea for a photo challenge! I think yellow is one of those colors that gets under used and under loved. Here is my first entry for this challenge. I love the color of this corn. I wish I would have taken the picture sooner but Isabelle plows through corn on the cob like a crazy lady!

Animal Kingdom...

The photo challenge over at the Yellow House this week is Animal Kingdom. I had a really hard time choosing for this one. My girls and I go to the zoo at least once a week and I love taking pictures of the animals. They are all so different and beautiful in their own way. I'm choosing the lepeord because I love his eyes, but I'm posting some of my other favorites as well!

Best Buddies...

Sophie is a cuddly baby. When she wants to be. She gives the best hugs in the world and the best part is that she's pretty selective about when she gives them and to who so you know when you get one that she means it!

The Photo Challenge over at the Paper Mama this week is "Best Buddies." This is a picture of Sophie with her best friend Margot. Margot and her big sister used to live right next door to us. We shared a back yard and life was wonderful. And then Margot and her family moved across town. We still see them but we miss those days where we all just randomly ended up in the backyard. I think Sophie misses them most of all.

And here are two more of Sophie with her best friends, Margot and Teddy. No one knows how to show their love more than a two year old!

Macro Monday!

It's my first time participating in the Macro Monday photo challenge. But I think that's fitting since this week was the first time I ever used my macro setting on my lens! It was lots of fun and I'm hoping to do more macro stuff very soon.
