Fall is just around the corner!

Fall is my favorite time of year. And now that the air is getting a little crisper and the days a little cooler, I thought I would pull out a few of my favorites from last fall. Please keep in mind this is well before I knew anything about my camera and was shooting in full auto! But it just goes to show that sometimes it's not about your equipement or your skills. It's just about capturing a moment.

Bounce!

I love these pictures of Isabelle bouncing on her bed. This was right after we got home from her first day at preschool last year. I can't believe how much bigger she's gotten in the last year!



Have a bouncy Monday everyone!

Sisters, Sisters...

I've been meaning for weeks to participate in Flashback Fridays over at Christopher and Tia. After all, I see all my other cool photography friends doing it and I'm all about what the cool kids are doing. But Fridays are usually a busy day around here, so I'm going to try my best to post them on Thur nights.

I took this photo almost 12 months ago. My girls were enjoying throwing every stuffed animal they had into Isabelle's bed. (I'm ashamed to admit that since I took this last October the number of stuffed animals in our house has most likely tripled. I'm fairly certain they are getting busy while we sleep!) I somehow talked the girls into getting in the bed with all their animals for a picture or two.



It was only after I put the photos on my camera that I realized I had seen this picture before. I dug through my baby book and there it was. My baby sister and I some 27 years earlier.



All I can say is that I'm glad I have my sister. And I'm glad my girls have each other.

Happy Friday!

Hands Hands Fingers Thumb...

Every day I seem to find a new fabulous photo challenge that I just can't resist. This is a new one from 2babycakes and the challenge is hands. So here are a few of my favorite little hands!

All sorts of brown...

The photo challenge over at The Paper Mama this week is the color brown. And since there are at least 4 or 5 different shades of brown in this photo I thought it was a good choice. I also happen to love this photo for how sweetly she is looking at that cow.

Thanks for visiting!

A model who knows how to stay still!

I love taking pictures of my girls. After all, they are the main reason I've really gotten into photography. But lets face it, at 2 and 3, sitting still is not their strong point. They also have a thing about looking at the camera which makes it really hard for me to work on skills like focus and catch lights. Luckily my cousin Jennifer was nice enough to do a little photo shoot with me. She follows directions like a champ and we had fun playing around with different light and different poses. Here are a few of my favorites (and hers) from our shoot!
