We had a lot of fun at this shoot! We did a lot of walking, but it was beautiful. I think I scared Emily & Steve by asking them to throw their baby in the air, but they had a lot of fun with it. Ben is my Ella’s boyfriend and is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!
I have an obsession with cameras. I always want a new one. Well, I’m pretty happy with my actual camera, but not my video camera. I don’t take videos of the kids much because it really SUCKS! I was one of the new pretty digital ones. I’m even thinking that I could really use one of these FLIP video cameras just to take little clips of the funny things that the kids do. There’s so many things that I want to remember. Like the way Ella squeezes and the funny dances Jayden does. I’m adding one of these to my Christmas list.
Gino’s going to kill me when I tell him I want ANOTHER camera.
I made my neighebor’s birth announcement and I LOVE IT! Their baby girl is so cute and so sweet.
I really need to take a photography class. I have this amazing camera in my hands and there’s so much that I have no clue about. The pictures that I’m getting are beautiful, but I know they could be so much more and that bugs the crap out of me.
I found one class online that teaches about my camera, and I think I just might be signing up for it. I never realized how much I loved taking pictures until I bought this camera. It’s like all I want to do now is get out there and take pictures. I look at people differently now. The other night I was at Olive Garden and was sitting in the waiting lounge and there was this family sitting on the couch. At the moment I had wished more than anything that I had my camera, because it would have made the most beautiful family picture. They were so happy and I just wanted to capture that for them so badly.
Not only do I now need to take a class on photography, but I think I should take a class on Photoshop as well. I know all about layers and a few effects, but I know there’s a whole photo editing world inside that program that I am clueless on.
Today I got spoiled. I got 2 things that I’ve been wanting for a really, really long time! First thing I got was a Canon EOS Rebel XSI 450D camera. OMGoodness!!!!! I have always wanted a really nice camera, and now I have one! I have no idea about anything about it, but I learn quick. I’m going to be reading through the manual and I’m planning on taking a class on digital photography. So, now everyone gets to read about my fun times with my new hobby in the making – PHOTOGRAPHY!!
The topper on the cake…. I got an Epson 1400 printer. I can now print out my 12×12 layouts. I can’t wait to hook it up and print out a layout and see how they really look printed out. I’m refraining myself from doing this until I clean up my kitchen. I know once I open that box it’s all over.
It gets even better…… what makes me happier than anything??? Olive Garden!
We celebrated my birthday today, because Gino is working 10am-7pm tomorrow. It’s a crappy schedule to work on my birthday 🙁
My friends at church are throwing a birthday party for me tomorrow, so that will make my day!! I might even bring my camera and get some good pics of my new friends and I. I love those girls so much! I am so lucky to live in such a wonderful ward.
After the party I’m going to take the kids to Lithia Park and take pictures.
