This is Better and Bump in the Night

Now this is much better. This is what mommy lives for.



And now things that go bump in the night!
Can you see it?





Now look below where the purple star is.

That was our bump in the night! Poor Makenna came in during the middle
of the night with a nosebleed and crawled in my bed on the other side of Morgan.

Around 6:30 in the morning I heard a thump and wailing- she hit her eye on the nightstand
on the way down. Poor girl. Her eye almost matches her shirt!

Who's in the Mood for a photo shoot?

She's Not.

A Little Snack...


Thanks for looking and for everyone's great comments this week. It's been a fun week. I'm sure you guys are getting bored of all these pictures! Thanks for looking!

Yeah for cooperation! However she was moving quite a bit so they are all a tad soft. I'm totally digging the milk and honey on the first shot, but I can't see that big of a difference on shot number two- hmm- back to editor...

Let me tell you guys this. I have gotten nothing done since I have discovered photoshop. I could sit here all day and play with these pictures. I can't believe I've been living with SOOC shots for so long!

Question: I am planning on making the 50mm 1.4 purchase fairly soon. When I use this lens how to I adjust settings wise? Right now I am shooting in P mode most of the time and for shots like these above at a high ISO to compensate for low light.

Makenna- My Next Catchlight Victim-Oops I Mean Subject

I was really trying to work on eyes- so I was getting lots of close-ups. For some reason I really liked the last one here even though her hands are in front of her face. Actually these were all taken of her when we were sitting in the front seat of the mini-van! I'm glad she cooperated today because Campbell was not pleased with me taking any of her!

It's amazing how many photos a two year old will let you take when they are watching tv. If she is doing anything else she will gripe at me and chant "camera down"!
