Ok see this family here:

They are one of my all time favorite familys! They are so cute all together and I have to say since he is my cuz and all so fun to photograph! hee hee

Look at them all in love!

For those pictures I used the Focal Black and White feature on the Picasa 3 program. I love how it is border B&W and then the center is color!

So here is the baby, she is almost 2:

And then big sister is like come on......

Here I have to give credit where credit is due. I did not take this picture. My cousins wife did because she wanted to try out my camera and she did an amazing job with capturing the moment!

And my girls were there too so we got a group picture as well:

Here are some shots from our recent trip to Old World Wisconsin. The girls didn't think that they would have fun looking at the world 100 years ago. But in the end they said it was AWESOME!

So here is something I did today. The girls and I went BTS (Back To School) shopping today and man did we have a lot of supplies! With 3 kids now in school there was a lot more shopping to be done. Here is a sampling of some of the things we had to get.

I will probably have quite a few pictures in here in the next week as I want to post some of my older photos.

Thanks for looking!

My First Post

I am really excited to have a place to put all of my amateur pictures in. And when I mean amateur, I mean amateur! I got my Nikon D40

for Christmas last year from my dear (and super awesome) husband. I am a scrapbooker so he thought it only necessary to get a good camera that I can capture my memories with. Little did I know how confusing an SLR (Single Lens Reflex) can be! So this is going to be my practice spot to sport my pictures.
Please I would love some good constructive criticism. Especially with people shots. I have a difficult time getting people to look half way decent!
Thanks!
