What I learned- I definately should have taken off the diaper for some nakey baby pics. The diaper tends to be distracting in some of the pictures. I should have take more of her on the white blankets... possible with out the strobes and instead a bounced flash. I think that Ishould have had more soft images. No pregnant friends, so I don't know when I will get my next chance for newborn pictures.Today was a snow day. Our school district is so wimpy. The kids stayed home but it did give me a chance to try out a set up I had been wanting to try. We took one of the living room chairs out into the front yard and took pictures in the snow.
What I learned... I needed to have it further out from the bushes. I didn't like it when I got little bits of bushes in my pictures...but it was okay when I 
got lots of bushes in the pictures... and 
the girls really didn't like looking up at me when I was on the ladder. Although the sun was completely hidden and behind them. the sky was too bright. I still really need to slow down to perfect the picture before I take it. Oh the other thing was that we messed up the snow in front of the chair....I wishI could figure out a way to get them to the chair without walking in the snow.... I think that this would be a fun annual picture, that is until we move back to Texas. Ooohhhh, but wouldn't the chair look great in the bluebonnets?
The little guys stayed inside....
On this picture... I had this great idea in my head. He would hold out 7 fingers (he just had his 7th birthday) and his fingers would be in focus with his face out of focus. I am not happy with the results, but I still think it could be a cool idea for a picture, I just need to figure it out.
I am editing pictures for E's science fair project. We spent a good portion of Saturday afternoon playing with dry ice. This was just a soap bubble but it was kinda a cool picture...
