This is my experience of capturing life's moments through the lens of a camera. One picture at a time . . . and learning through the process.

Lake Photos
Grace's friend had a birthday party at the lake. While the kids swam, I took the opportunity to do what I love most--take pictures. We all had fun!

What's your pick?
I'm getting ready to enter some pictures in the fair. I can only enter three (the sequential entry will count as one entry). I need your help? Which ones should I enter? I'm leaning towards the top three. I am still working on the titles and may crop them differently. Any suggestions are welcome. I need to submit them by this Saturday.
Choice #1 "Thai Long Boat"
Choice #2 "Motherhood"
Choice #3 "Butterflies"
Choice #4 "Thirsty" (I can't get the photos to line up correctly)
Choice #5 (I'd replace the middle picture from above with this one). The reason I'm leaning towards not entering these two bottom ones is because it is not a true sequential picture, meaning it wasn't exactly taken in this order. I took several shots to piece this together.

I love this park!
I've been taking the kids to some local parks this summer. As they play, I scope out some fun interesting finds. It works out for all of us. These come from Park at Bothell Landing. I love it there.
If you look closely there is a crow on every single limb of this tree. I wish it was more visible. I like the odd shape of this sparse tree.

Kid Pix Summer 2010
Photographing your own kids is so hard. They just wouldn't cooperate. I promised them each a candy bar if they'd just listen to me. Finally . . .
Notice: Lilianne's green and purple nails!
On this picture there was a bit of shadowing/highlights on Lilianne's eyes and mouth area. I fixed it (on the 2 pic) by using a mask, the stamp tool and a bit of dodging. Photoshop is great for these mistakes, but it's not ideal. I should have gotten the picture right in the first place. It could use some work on the neck area too.
I love these of Grace. They really capture her fun personality. These of course didn't come until many shots later.
Isaak was being a stinker, so there is just one pic of him.
I love Kaleb's side smirk and tasseled hair. His eyes are so dark you can't even see the pupils.
