I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Picture Perfect

December 29, 2009 by Elaine

Simply said, we had a lovely Christmas. It was at our home and small and quiet (well unless you count the crazy noises that escaped from the 5 year old’s mouth when he saw that my mother had gotten him a zhu-zhu pet. Oh GAWD. But wait, that happened 2 days after so yeah, ACTUAL…

Be Careful What You Wish For…

December 28, 2009 by Elaine

I got a new toy camera (Nikon D5000) for Christmas and besides a little cropping, the photo above is SOOC and one of my favorites that I took over the holiday (of course the fact that it’s a favorite has more to do with the subject than anything else really…). The manual is as thick…

WW – Holiday Edition

December 23, 2009 by Elaine

So, we’re just hanging out this week building ginger bread houses and… trying to figure out what’s in our gifts under the tree… and hanging out in our Christmas-y pajamas… and smiling big thinking of what’s to come in a couple of days… Now excuse me while I run out for just ONE MORE gift……

You Capture – Sunrise, Sunset

November 19, 2009 by Elaine

This is often what it looks like from our backyard, which obviously faces West, at sunset. I adore the blue and pink. And the shadows of the trees and bushes. Oh and the fact that we have a screened-in porch in which to sit and watch this beautiful show… If you have some photos on…

You Capture – Your REAL Life

November 12, 2009 by Elaine

This week Beth challenged us to get pictures of our Real Life for You Capture. Here’s a few shots from my every day. Well, unfortunately the cookies aren’t part of my “every” day… but, that’s probably a good thing. Oh, but this sweet, sweet baby is part of it, and THAT is a absolutely FABULOUS…

You Capture – Autumn

October 29, 2009 by Elaine

This week’s You Capture focuses on pictures of things related to Autumn. A wonderful season, I must say. Although you wouldn’t really know that it’s Fall around here just by driving around. Everything is still quite green. I mean we are in the South so it’s par for the course… of course. However, if you…

Boys ‘N Belly

September 14, 2009 by Elaine

I’ve had the idea for a while that I wanted some professional ‘belly pics’ during this pregnancy. I’ve never had any done before and this time I wanted to do it, if possible. I had my photographer picked out (because she’s awesome and she’s photographed our family twice in the past) until……We moved. Once we…

Camera Woes

September 1, 2009 by Elaine

I have a decent Canon camera but it’s not an SLR. It takes great pictures. Sometimes. Lately I haven’t wanted to take any pictures with the flash but if I don’t they usually come out blurry, on ANY setting. I can take 15 pictures and get 2 good ones. Mind you, the caveats to this…

Gates

August 25, 2009 by Elaine

Little G and I went for a quick walk around the block Saturday morning and I took my camera. There are some very beautiful homes in our current neighborhood and for some reason my lens gravitated toward the gates that we walked past. Guess I just thought they were kinda ‘perty.’ So, I thought I’d…
