Thanks Robin ! You are awesome.







i cried when i was done editing this one. When i first started in my photography journey a few months ago i saw a picture like this one on another photographers blog. i remember thinking that i would never be as good as her . That I could never take pictures like she did.
I started scouring blogs of other photographers , trying to emulate their styles and pictures. But That one picture has always stuck out in my head.
So when i saw this pic from my last session I knew how I wanted to edit it. I knew how I wanted it look.When I was all done , I realized that I could see me taking the picture in the reflection of his eyes.
I realized that I could see ME in the picture . Not her style , or his style , but my style.
Awesomeness
Little miss D is turning two next week. She is such a doll. She was a little camera shy until we broke out the balloons. Then it was all smiles.
Happy Birthday !!!
I can't just tell you the winner that quick. First I have to tell you all that I made a tutu for Ashlynn. Now this may seem like a small thing to all you crafty mama's out there. But in my world , this was a big deal. I am going to make three for Halloween this year. I started with Ashlynn because she is the middle child. And let's face it , how often does the middle child get something first ?
