A record of the incessant and trivial chatter running through my head.
.jpg) Two mornings ago I woke up, climbed out of bed, and reached for the running clothes I had laid out the night before. As I walked toward the bathroom my entire body was overcome with soreness and exhaustion. It was as if my body was screaming at me to chill out and rest a bit. […]     Just yesterday the kids and I were taking a walk through the woods. Charlie was racing ahead of me searching our way through the path and Chanelle was lagging behind informing me that she was too tired to keep walking. The sound of their voices were intermittently drowned out by the chorus of locusts letting […]

.jpg) I really did. Last Tuesday I loaded up my computer along with our duffel bags, groceries, and other miscellaneous items that would accompany us on our little getaway. Chad made his phone a “hotspot” so I could upload photos and collect my thoughts at the end of each day. Really, what could be cooler than […]
.jpg) 1. Pregnancy Brain I had an appointment with my doctor this morning. . . my 24-week check up. I love the passing of each of these prenatal check-ups because it makes me feel like we’re that much closer to the BIG day. My appointment was before 9 so I woke up, quickly pulled on my […]

I so agree!!!!!!!!!!!! I am falling in love with taking pictures too!! Just don't know what I am doing:) I love the dew on the grass!!!!
You don't know what these two precious ones do for me:) We had so much fun yesterday. Love today. Love you.
I'm a photobug as well…and I have to say I'm soooo impressed with how much you've advanced in a short time! Your pics inspire me every time I stop by your blog.
That's great bokeh! What lens do you use? I have a canon 60D…Have you gotten Lightroom yet? If not, DON'T WAIT! I waited for too long and just recently got it and I can't imagine how I lived without if for so long.
As always, I love stopping by for my dose of inspiration…you never disappoint! 🙂
I love your dew photo. So artistic.
You have talent my friend. I admire you.
Your are a breath of fresh air.
I always read through google reader so I don't comment the way I want to. I LOVE that picture, the colors are so gorgeous!!! LOVE this post!!! I agree, you are absolutely a breath of fresh air!!!
@ Lisa. . . I have a Cannon Rebel and the above photos were taken with a 18-55mm lens. I do have lightroom, but haven't really worked with it yet. It intimidates me.
Thank you for these comments. . . all you ladies. You continue to inspire and encourage me every single day.
I understand about feeling intimidated…my sister is a pro photog and her stuff is awe inspiring! But don't let that stop you- get the book off Amazon if you haven't already- it's by Scott Kelby, Lightroom 3 – I've only gotten thru a tiny bit but it's helpful to get you started….(Use the presets on the left side as a starting point to see the changes…if you don't like the changes just go back to "General-zeroed" and it takes the changes off original photo_)…you'll be sitting doing your photos ALL DAY! It's unbelievable how time flies by when I start playing around! 🙂 You can do it!
If you have any questions, I can help if you'd like…just email me.
Good luck and Happy editing!!
Thank you, Lisa! I actually do have that book, but haven't yet gotten very far into it. I may be emailing you with questions. 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement!
