Orange

This week's theme at iheartfaces is Orange. I had to post the following picture. It was one of my favorites taken on Halloween of my wonderful mother-in-law's AWESOME costume. I thought it fit wonderfully with the theme! Enjoy!

Fall Feelings

The theme over at iheartfaces.com this week is Fall stories.

Fall is my favorite season!!

I love the COLORS, the SMELL, the MEMORIES, the COOL WEATHER, the LEAVES, and just EVERYTHING ABOUT FALL!

The other day I was outside of my church with my little boy and we started playing in the leaves. I grabbed our new point and shoot
camera out of the diaper bag and started shooting. The black and white one above is sweet to me, because Camden was playing with the leaves... with his toes! I thought it was so cute. He did eventually pick up a few leaves and play with his hands too (see some of the other pics), but he let his toes get in first. I just loved some of the shots I got during our playtime and am glad I got to capture Camden's first time playing in the leaves. The grin from ear to ear is so precious and probably is a result of the ear to ear grin on his mama's face, which continues to appear each time I see this shot.

It was one of the first times I had used this camera and I was really not familiar with it at all, but I was happy I had it. It was late in the evening and so I took a few without the flash and a few with it. The results were so different. The color pic in the middle on the left was taken with the flash (as was the B&W one) and the rest were taken without.
