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.

Too Many Carbs and a Little More Protein

I entered into my first DPS assignment today. The assignment is Bugs or Insects.

This is my first assignment to take part in and I set out for my Monday morning regular activites toting my camera along, hoping to stumble upon a bug or insect to photograph. I am typically not a bug and insect type person and try to stay as far away from all of them as possible. While eating lunch with friends, one of them noticed this little bugger in her pasta salad. Before she removed it, I grabbed my camera and captured him looking as though he had over-indulged on carbs, and as a result adding a little more protein to her pasta salad.

Thanks to Angela for leaving the little guy her your food for a few seconds longer so I could get a pic!

Fix-It Friday

I know... it's not Friday. I am a little late in posting it, but I have already edited it and so I figured I'd go ahead and post it.

This is also my first Fix-it Friday posting. The picture below was not taken by me. It is just one that iheartfaces.com selected to be edited by tons of people so we could see all the different things that could be done. Again, just something fun to do!

This is the original image, taken by Angie.



Below is what it looks like after my edit!

Got To Wear Shades

I am entering into my first I Heart Faces photo challenge. The theme for this week is "Got To Wear Shades" and I have chosen a picture of Camden wearing his first pair of shades. I love that you can see his eyes in this pic! The challenge just needed to include shades and a face, so I could have taken a more "professional" looking photo, but I loved this one too much. Camden is sporting a pair of sunglasses straight from the 80's. My friend's son wore these when he was a baby. It's not about winning, its about the fun and sharing my photos!
