Sunday Snapshot

-
Most of the time I don't do a whole lot of editing to my photos. It's just a personal preference to keep snapshots pretty clean and simple. However, I often spend way too much time just playing with photos, running all sorts of pretty photo actions, turning snapshots of Rory in a play outfit into glamour shots just for the fun of it, but I never save those edited photos or use them.

But this morning (as I sit here at home still in my p.j.'s) I decided a little glam editing session was in order. I used Florabella Colorplay Antique Pink action (100%), Hazy Haze (sheer haze at 75%), and even the Blush brush action to make her little cheeks and lips a little rosier.

Pretty, right?

And the SOOC in case you're interested in seeing how much I actually glammed her up. I used my 70-200 lens for these pictures, and they're always so vibrant. This lens definitely gives me the most color-saturated images. Settings are f2.8, 1/250SS, and 640 ISO; taken early evening.

These are beautiful!!! I don't do a ton of editing of my photos either, but I love to play with edits and actions. And one day I'm going to get brave enough to learn to use my camera in manual mode. That is definitely a goal of mine.

Blogging, Not Blogging

Blogging feels awkward these days. Not blogging feels a bit like abandoning an old friend. In this season of life it doesn't feel necessary to jot down every cute quip (and that's only partially because they don't say nearly as many cute things). The kiddos (even that is strange - can I still call a 12 and 9 year old kiddos?) are more likely to say "don't put that on your blog!" Rory still likes the attention, but Camden is feeling the need for privacy. But they also still love to read my words. Not a week goes by that they don't pull out blog books from previous years and pore over the pictures and words. Rory giggles and retells the stories; Camden quietly takes in the tougher subjects. Here's the truth. I have less to share because life is both busy and unexciting at the same time. I cannot distinguish between what is important to remember and what will be meaningless in 20 years when Camden and Rory are grown with families of thei

Cousins, part 3 (the adult version)

-

So I'm notoriously bad about including adults in the picture when we're all together, and this trip was no exception. Here are the very few that include adults. Becky is always my test subject before the cousin photo shoots. At the baseball game (which was incredibly hot/humid and started nearly an hour late). Kids were pretty wiped out after their naps following the return from camp. (the adult who spent a week at camp might have been tired too) Camden had the camera and took these pictures of me and Becky, Liz, and mom. Lewis/Hale/Derby/Lemons family - you're all caught up!

7/52: Pastel

-
Image
This week's theme was pastel and there's not a whole lot of pastel in our house, much less with my black-eyed, black-haired Korean gal. However, she gave me about 10 minutes of cooperation in 10 degree weather and we attempted a pastel snow picture. The first one is my official pastel picture, but I included the other attempts because it was pretty darn fun. This is a new face I'm seeing often these days. By the way, she has 3 shirts underneath this dress, a pair of pajama pants and a pair of hot pink sweat pants. LOL
