Stuff....

so i thought i was going to be better about posting more often. ha!

we had a nice weekend....the last one before school starts. it's hard to believe tomorrow is the day! lauren is so excited. she picked out her outfit, got her lunch box ready, her backpack is by the door...she is set! oh, and my camera battery is charged!

speaking of my camera.....i wanted to take a few new pictures of the girls today. i thought being it was early in the day it wouldn't be so hot.....as it got later into our morning both girls, including myself were beading up! but i did get a few fun shots. i've also been playing around with photo editing, which i still have so much to learn. i use elements 4....which is all new to me. (well, all editing software is new to me...ha ha) here are a few pictures from today...

i love the last 2 photos of lauren. that look she gave me was full of attitude, don't you think!

i have my first photo shoot this week! i've never really taken anyone elses pictures but i would love to start! i need to get my feet sometime, huh. so i'm taking pictures of a little neighbor girl. she is turning one. so, i'm thinking the shoot will either be really easy or really difficult. ha ha i think i'm doing all of the photos outdoors. if i had some indoor lighting i would maybe attempt indoor or if there was a ton of natural light but just to play it safe i think we'll stay outdoors. that can even be tricky! wish me luck....

have a great week!
