I LOVE the beach

She FINALLY cooperated!!!
She's sure pretty when she smiles at the camera, isn't she?

I think I need to crop her arm a bit, but I'm pleased so far.

FINALLY

I'm embarrassed to admit that it's taken me forever to figure out my free Pioneer Woman PSE actions. But finally, FINALLY I did it tonight.

WOW.

I am so excited to play around with this more.

First Grade Rocks

Ellie had a concert last night. I got this shot of her as we were walking out. A tiny bit overexposed, but I love her face and hair. SOOC. And I LOVE her natural expression.

Carver's pleadings

I think I'm making headway in manual mode, but not so much on this blog. Here's a series of pics that made us smile. Carver had been in the sandbox and wanted to come in, but the light caught my eye and I made him suffer through some pictures before I let him in. :)

This was the first one and it was all downhill from there...

It's a little like watching him whine. Only in mute!
(But I promise the whole shoot only lasted 30 seconds and then I let him in.)
