Have a great evening..

I see the moon...

Grandma and Grandpa R were visiting us this evening and Ann told me I needed to take a picture of the moon tonight..It was gorgeous and the sky was a beautiful dark blue..Unfortunately it was too late already to have both the sky and moon exposed together, but the moon is always beautiful...

More playing the Artificial light...

I'm just loving my 'fake' light..I got a new background support stand last evening and I am loving using it.. Now I am sure I'll be ordering some new backgrounds soon...what fun this is going to be....

So, instead of getting a huge print of all four of them I am thinking I might due 2 medium prints of a pair at a time...I'll keep trying to get a good one of all 4, though..but that is hard..






Thanks for looking today.. Have a great day tomorrow!!

Melissa

Another one of them all..

Just looking through them, again this morning and found this one.. I'm actually going to set this up again soon and try something a little different and see if I like those better..Then I will be ordering a huge print..a need to replace the one in our living room.. Baby J was 6 months old last time I printed a big one..so it's time to get a new one of them...


Have a great weekend..

Melissa

Could it be? They're ALL looking???

So, a mother LOVES pictures of her own, right? And especially loves it when she has one of ALL 4 of her own LOOKING at the camera..well usually you get one or two looking at the camera, another with none of them looking..you'll probably get one with eyes closed..well many of you know how it is..well here's one with all of them looking my way..




This was a very quick crop and edit and the final print will be a little different, but here's the first one I opened, literally...got a love a quick click in the file and getting a good one..

Thanks for looking..Have a great day..

Melissa

Baby J and Daddy..

Baby J was a bit tired last night when I set up the light, but he did fine..

Here's baby J and Daddy..Daddy's are not the easiest to photograph, especially Daddy's who DON'T want to be photographed, LOL...I made him, though..and Here's the resulting image..Baby J looks like he's being squeezed..Squeezed with Love...





Do enjoy your day..

Melissa

Just two......

Baby J.. A little brighter b/w conversion than my normal....




Enjoy..

Yep, another He's SOO cute blog post..

But they sure are..

I have one with cute smiles, but I just love the Baby J's cute giggle face..







Have a great day..

Mis

From earlier this week...

It looks like I'm not going to be able to snap anything today..Been a bit tired today and need to head out of the house for a little bit. We're ALL going shopping this evening..Going to head out the the local Super Walmart. The boys have some money in their pockets and they are begging to spend a little of it.. and I need some groceries...I'm craving Frozen Grapes (thanks Aunt Sharon for introducing them to me)..

So, you'll have to see images from earlier week...

This first one is out of focus, but OH WELL...he's mine, he's smiling cute and I'm printing it..


This one was during our wonderfully warm weather earlier this week..No, MOM, we weren't outside log with him not wearing a shirt..


And, yesterday...B and L..


And Baby J, refusing his mother eye contact..oh well, I love the happiness he's expressing so it's definitely a keeper...



And, my B...he's always willing to let me capture those eyes...

Thanks for looking..

Inspired by Wednesday Night Bible Study...

Okay..so on Wednesday nights we have a Bible study at our Church. And our wonderful music director (enter winking smiley, here) plays these awesome DVD's.. and the images to go along with the songs are just great. I love how they capture the innocence of life, the joy of our youth and the longing and desiring for the Lord.. I always think I should be capturing those moments....Today, I got one..(of many to come)..




ENJOY your day... Be GLAD in the Lord and rejoice...

Another Cutie..they are being nice to me...

I've had some decent lighting coming into my living room these past few days..Of course my ISO has still been at or above 800, and shooting pretty wide open...But still love the light here..

L has been a great little model for me... This first one is my favorite..



And here's my little goofy boy from yesterday..


And, so you can see him in color (though I am pulling more and more to b/w photography)...here is the first one in color

Me..

Total Cutie..

Yeah, I'm his mother and yeah I think he is CUTE!!!





I still have some to go through from our few minutes together..But I had to share his cuteness...

Will post today's picture/s of the day later..

Have a great one..

Mis

They both sat, they both looked and they both smiled, BUT....

It's too bad their mommy photographer forget to get both of them in focus by closing down the ap a little...DUH...


But, at my defense is: Previous to putting them both together (at Baby J's request to have his picture taken too) I was taking pictures of L....




We're enjoying the nice weather today..It's an absolutely BEAUTIFUL January day here in NE Ohio... Have a great day, everyone..

Melissa

Brothers....

When 'L' was a baby, the older 2 adored him. They made goofy faces to make him laugh, they played and played with him. They really were his entertainers. I said L was 'their' baby. There's still a bit of that baby love left for L from his brothers, even with the addition of J (who is the family baby).




And, of course, since we still have Zippy Roo, he had to get in front of the camera today..



Have a great one, everyone...

Me

My mail box...

My sweet little 'L' is 5 years old. He loves making cards, sending letters to people and helping people have a nice day. He is my little mailman. Nearly daily he 'delivers' an envelope to my mail box. I hadn't documented it yet, and thought today was the perfect day to do so..






Have a great day....and tell someone you love them today, it might brighten their day..
