Mr. and Mrs.

I took the wedding pictures for this cute couple. The bride has a special place in my heart and I can't believe she's old enough to get married. I had so much fun taking their pictures and now I have the difficult task of weeding through all of them and deciding which ones to edit. Also, I was going to watermark the image, but frankly I have no idea what name to use. I don't have a business and I don't even know what I would call it anyway. My name flows horribly and so that won't work, and my initials won't work either. I'm stuck.

Photography

There's nothing like the fear that comes from knowing you are going to be taking someone's wedding pictures to kick you in the hind quarters and make you pick up your camera after hardly using it at all for the last year. With this I have learned a valuable lesson, skills not used are skills lost. I don't know what has happened, but I am having the hardest time right now getting my pictures to turn out how I want them and how I know they can be and so I forsee a lot of time being dedicated to photography over the next 7 weeks. Here are some shots I have taken and enhanced in the last couple of weeks with the disclosure that I am not super happy with the sharpness and clarity. Those are the two main issues I am having right now, also my tendency to over-enhance. Grrrrrr.

 

Summer flower

My love treated me to a little trip to the photo store where he bought me to a new lens. Happy Mothirthday (that's Mother's Day and birthday) to me.

What's not to like?

Boys in Hats

I think that next, I want to learn how to make a hat with ear flaps.

I made a hat for my girl

Since the last hat that I made for my girl two years ago is now too small, I decided to make her a new one.  Her favorite color is orange, but I didn't have enough orange yarn for a whole hat and so I mixed it with a little yellow.  Very cheery don't you think?  I think I will crochet a lot more this winter.  I forgot how much fun it is for me.
