Here are the last few pictures of Rachael and some of Courtney. I finished just in time to take some more this weekend. I am going to try the railroad tracks this time and I am going to take Courtney to the swings. Thanks for looking! See you back in a couple of days.

February 23,2009 -Late, Late Post

We went to the Crawford Boys Playoff Basketball game tonight. We had a good time chatting with friends and watching the game. So, I didn't have much time to edit tonight. I am so tired but I want to get these going before I go to bed. Here they are....

Here are a few more pictures from our shoot the other day. I didn't finish them all as I had a PTO meeting tonight and I stayed up a bit to late processing those from last night. Anyway, Here is what i finished and that just leaves a few more for tomorrow! Something to look forward to!

Thats it for now! See you tomorrow!

Leah is home sick today. Throwing up and all the other good stomach ailments, so I had a few minutes to upload these pics before I try and head to work. I finally got her settled down and asleep so I am hoping she stays that way for a while. Here are a few more from our photo shoot at the arboretum. I will do the rest tonight when I get home from my meeting.

I took Rachael the Aboretum to check out the scenery and the lighting for when Andrew comes. I want to make sure I know when the best time is and all that since he will not be so patient. I LOVE taking pictures of Rachael. The camera loves her and she never complains. These are just the first few(hundred) HA! I will get the rest up tomorrow!

Now, She is beautiful when she smiles, but she is breathtaking when she doesn't--look at this one now--the rest will come tomorrow! I think the eyes ARE the window to the soul!

Well, I have not even taken a shower yet and it is 3:00 in the afternoon. Don't judge--it doesn't happen very often and when it does, I am taking advantage of it. Besides, I will spend the evening up at the high school helping out with the Spring Fundraiser--BINGO! woopee! I should get some free time--shouldn't I??

I am going to think of it as research. After all, I am going to TRY and make senior pics for Andrew-right?? So, I have been working on some b/w photos and some tinted photos so I wanted to share so you could tell me what needs improvement and what would look better.

Here they are:

I love this photo. They were just walking along and I yelled for them to stop. They look so serious--but I think they were annoyed because I was taking yet another picture!

This was at the Japanese Gardens in Oregon. I wish we could take him there for his pictures!

Yet another one from Oregon!

and another. They had the most beautiful flowers there. I guess when you get rain, that happens. I actually didn't even have to edit this one. It is SOOC! Just added the border!

My Favorite!

I used an aura to lighten the center and make it look as if the sun was shining on it!

A red tint.

An orange Tint to give it almost a sepia feel....

And one more from Oregon-It really was so pretty there!

Let me know what you think and I will keep trying my hand at it! I really need some more portraits. I wish it wasn't so cold outside--Maybe tomorrow!

Maybe if you have some you can send them to me so I can practice.
