Yum.

I love food pictures. Unfortunately they make it really hard to stay on my diet since food pictures make me want to eat! So for this weeks food challenge over at Two Moms, I'm going to choose fruit. And now I'm hoping that the rest of you posted things like cupcakes and cheesecake!

Surprise!

The theme this week at I heart faces is Surprise! This has always been one of my favorite pictures. Sophie was about 16 months at the time. This litte guy jumped onto the side of her stroller. I thought she would freak out but she just sat there quietly while he jumped right onto her hand. That's when I grabbed the camera hoping for a cute enough shot. I still feel a little bad that when he jumped up onto her nose I took the photo before getting him off of there, but the look on her face was something that needed to be captured!

Make sure you head over to I heart faces for lots more surprised faces this week!

Apparently I love bugs

Last week was my first time participating in Macro Monday because last week was the first time I ever used my macro lens. I'm still going through some of the pictures I took and I keep going back to this one of the Japanese Beetle. My mom hates these things because they are destoying her garden, which I totally understand, but I love the color of their wings.

Humorously, they also remind me of my younger daughter. Who knew something that cute could be that destructive?

So, I'm using this picture for this weeks Macro Monday and because of the color of the flower, Mellow Yellow Monday.

Thanks for visiting!

They like me! They really like me!

I'm super excited that the picture I took of my beautiful cousin and her new hubby on their wedding day was picked as the winner of this weeks challenge over at Trendy Treehouse! I just had to share my excitement!



And here they are in all their wedding lovelyness. Congrats again Christi and Pat!

Black and White Wednesday

This is my first time participating in Black and White Wednesday. I only really just started learning how to use my camera (in something other than auto!) within the last 8 months or so. As my pictures got better I realized that I really needed to learn how to use the photoshop and lightroom programs that have been collecting dust on my computer. A few months back I wouldn't have been able to tell you the difference between hitting the black and white button in picasa and actually doing the conversion yourself. I'm still terribly new at it but practice makes perfect!

This photo is one of my Grandma's favorites. She shows it to everyone and anyone who comes to her house, including the mailman.

Photo Challenge Feet!

I think it's safe to say that I'm officially addicted to photo challenges! I love looking through my old photos for that perfect shot or feeling inspired to take a new one!

I was just introduced to this blog and I'm so excited to be participating in her first photo challenge.

Sophie loves her pink boots. She loves them even more when she wears them with her purple tutu!

My girls are so much fun!

There are days when I feel bad that I usually post pictures of Sophie. I love Isabelle just as much, but the simple truth is that Isabelle just doesn't like to have her picture taken. But sometimes a trip to the park is all we need to get smiles out of both of them!
