I like this one because you can see the mist of water she is squirting on herself.

I am noticing a pattern over the last year. Either I take a ton of pictures on one day or go days without pulling the camera out.

There is truth to the old saying, "Take a picture it will last longer."

Of all the fun pictures I took at this photo shoot I chose to share this one because it is proof that I am learning at least in Photoshop.

This was either the day or the day after I got my new 50mm fixed lens. In the words of my daughter, "Umm that one is a little dark."

This is a composite image of a birthday card I made for Kaelyn to take to a friend's pirate themed birthday party.

It is way harder than you would think to focus on a place where there is nothing to focus on. Ahh, the timer feature.

These are from my attempts to take our own family pictures. It was a little cold that day. And three photographers later, I am glad to know that it is not just me that has a hard time getting Kaelyn to cooperate during a photo shoot.

So this was taken with my small point and shoot, with no flash, but it is the only picture I took that day :O

You can tell someone is trying to learn photography when they take 20+ pictures of the same unchanging thing.

This was so much fun. For the first time in a long time Kaelyn wanted me to take her picture. She is so cute. I was trying to get a good picture of her eyelashes, I love the one in the bottom left corner. The inspiration for this picture came from a recent "Parade of Homes" enrichment activity in our ward. One of the houses had the cutest picture set of her kids amazingly long eyelashes...Hmm this idea doesn't translate well to words. But they were very powerful and touching pictures. An idea well worth working to emulate.

This was Kaelyn's first time playing with a game controller. Pretty funny stuff!

The Pacific Science Center proved to be a VERY difficult place for me to get a great picture. This one is the best of the lot, though it is just a snapshot.

I took these pictures at Maplecrest farm. It was a lot of fun, and I was really pleased with the lighting in the portraits. Now all I need to figure out how to make my "models" more cooperative, and less drooly!

Yes the flash totally washed this one out, I am working on this. However, the basement is kind of awful for pictures, and I had to get this one.
