My Two Valentines

For the I heart faces challenge I was supposed to take a picture with red in it. These are just a few other pictures I wanted to post cuz they are precious to me. I had an awesome Valentine's Day, I hope everyone else did too. :)

6 months!!

Our little Claire is 6 months old! I can't believe how fast the time has flown, but we are loving every minute of it! :) For those of you who read my family blog also, you know my resolution for this year is to do at least one photo shoot a month. So I have the challenge of finding people to let me take pictures of them! This month and the month of August (when Claire turns one), I have taken care of. Next month though, I have totally open...any takers?? :)

I didn't have a chance to really edit these cuz I only have access to photoshop at work and when work is busy and I only work part time, well yeah... anyway, these are adjusted slightly using the basic image editing program on my computer. Enjoy Claire's 6 month photo shoot! I know there are a lot, but I couldn't decide which ones I liked the best!

I Heart Faces- Red

This time the theme for this photo challenge was red in support of Go Red For Women. Scott wore his red tie to church in honor of Valentine's and I dressed up Claire Bear to match. It was a perfect photo opportunity! :)




Check out I Heart Faces for more RED photos! :) Happy Valentine's Day!

Family of Four

Scott's friend from work asked me to take pictures of his family. I was way excited to be taking pictures for a family, and one not related to me either for that matter! I was also super nervous though. Besides some shadows which were caused by the time of day we went, I think these turned out pretty good. I hope they work for them. We tried to be quick, cuz even though it was actually super nice weather, it was still a bit cold for their cute baby!

More Snow Pictures...

My sister has become quite the model for me. :) The first time I took pictures of her were for her graduation announcement and both her and I had no clue what we were doing. Now, she'll do whatever I tell her to do with a big smile (even if some of the things I've told her to do are pretty silly and didn't turn out exactly as cool like I thought they would!) I'm just glad she's a good sport and lets me learn on her. :)

iheartfaces Contest - Winter Wonderland

This week's photo contest theme on iheartfaces is Winter Wonderland. Since I've done so many photo shoots lately in the snow, this was a perfect theme! This was a picture I took just getting ready for my photo shoot. My sister Heidi was helping me figure out lighting and I loved the look she's giving right here. It was cold! :)

Family Photos

I was lucky during the holiday to have family in town... which meant more test subjects for me! :) It was new for me trying to take group family photos. I have a lot to learn about positioning families or multiple people, but they were great to let me practice on them! :)
