As many of you know, I am soaking up as much Photography knowledge as possible.
I have read about actions and always wanted to try them, but have never taken the time.
I took the plunge today, and I am in love.
It is so easy, and look at the results.
I followed this site for instructions and downloads.
One more thing for you to add to your TRY OUT list. You must have Photoshop to achieve this.
This year for Christmas, I got a new lens for my camera.
I got a new camera last June when ours died. (it has decided to work again)
I am glad it died for a short time. That gave me an excuse to buy my dream camera. It has allowed me to find something that I love.
Now that the baby is here, and my brain is working again....
I am doing lots of work trying to figure out my new camera.
I am doing lots of reading, and gathering knowledge from all four corners of the internet.
I have been learning so much.
My new lens just came in the mail... and I couldn't wait to try it out.
Yesterday was a day of practice for me.
Finally putting to work the knowledge that I have been collecting.
Here is what came of it...
You must meet our kids. You see they are the only subjects that I have to practice on.
We have four beautiful children. I can't believe that we are a family of 6.
It struck me as a pretty big thing when I realized that we don't fit in just any vehicle, and we take up an entire pew at church.
This is Jex. He is Seven Years Old.
He is our loving, helpful, sensitive, and patient child.
He is also pretty RAD if I do say so myself.
This is Stella. She is five.
She is our inventive, talkative, shy, snuggly child.
She is also adorable, if I do say so myself.
This is Isaac. He is two.
He is spirited, silly, loveable, and crazy.
He has the most beautiful eyes, if I do say so myself.
This is Tessa. She is 2 1/2 months.
She is all smiles, calm, patient, quiet, and very very kissable.
She is the best baby if I do say so myself.
I just love my kids, and new hobbies. I am thankful for something to take over my mind. I hate thinking about the dreary winter. I will push through and keep learning about this fun new hobby.
Now I just need some new subjects to practice on.

Perfect Baby Girl.
... with this little girl.
She has snuggled in my arms now for 69 days.
She is just over 2 months.
She sleeps through the night 11-12 hours.
She already rolls over.
She has the most heart-warming smile.
She coos and talks.
She loves her daddy, and gets excited when she hears his voice.
She loves to be held, and loves to nurse.
She is content almost all of the time.
We are all completely smitten...
You make our life better Tessa.
Our family feels complete with you in our life.
I count my blessings...
I am grateful to be your mother.
