Camden The Great

I had loads of fun last week taking pictures of this little squirt. My cousin, 10 month old Camden is so expressive! Thanks Anique for asking me to do this, it was fun. Here are a few of my favorites so far.

How to Wrap Daddy Around Your Finger 101

How to Wrap Daddy Around your Finger 101:
1st, smile and giggle at his jokes (even when mommy doesn't think it's that funny).
2nd, Poop and fart - a lot - even do it at the same time cuz he gets this goofy look on his face that makes me smile.
3rd, I must learn to say "DaDa" first.
4th, cry...with great big eyes and great big tears. that always gets me whats I wants!! HAHA!!

Katelynn gets her first edit

So I've been searching blogs and flickr for fabulous photos and ideas etc. Learning all about photography and realize sooooo many of them edit their shots. I haven't been. Isn't that cheating? Basically the only editing I do is crop and B&W. I don't have photoshop and wouldn't know yet how to use it anyway. I did try something free called Picnik. Basically you can sharpen the photo, change contrast, color, exposure etc. nothing major. Here are a few I changed:

close ups

I LOVE this shot. I wish I'd had a filter to soften it even more. What a sweet sweet pink baby!!

Love the giggle face

Sleeping beauty

I love this shot. Don't ya just want to eat those lips??!!

These were spur of the moment shots taken. I was playing w/ the light taking advantage of a sleeping baby. Practicing practicing practicing. I realize I need a bigger backdrop to give me more playing room.

Paul Simon sings it best:

"I'm gonna watch you shine.

Gonna watch you grow.

Gonna paint a sign

So you'll always know.

There could never be a father who loved his daughter more than I love you"

Here it is again only tweeked in B&W.
