Artsy

So this is me trying to be artsy with my pictures. I need to keep practicing. At least practicing is fun.



Fun with Cousins

We went to my parents house this past weekend for a garage sale and the girls were super pumped about seeing Micah and Mia. After the garage sale we went to the backyard to play. I love how much these girls love to play and love each other.

Hide and Seek

Goofy Girls

Cracks me up every time!



Here are some practice shots in manual...with my favorite subjects to photograph. I don't have photoshop and am not sure how to "fix" photos yet so these are the real deal untouched. NO judgement please, I am learning. :)



Shooting in Manual

I have a friend that is a great photographer that is helping me learn about taking pictures in manual mode on my camera. It is so much fun and yet so frustrating. When I get a good picture I am super happy but then when it isn't quite right it frustrates me. I am having fun learning and I am thankful for all of her help and wisdom. Here are the first pictures I took in manual. I have a long way to go.

Family Fun

Jared would like for our family to be a camping family...tent and all. So we went to Keystone Lake for the afternoon just to see how it would be for a few hours hiking, playing, and grilling hot dogs. The girls loved it! I am not surprised because if we do anything outside they are happy. We hiked and the girls helped me look for rocks, sticks, flowers, and leaves that I needed for a craft project for church. We then played at the park. The girls are big into swinging and sliding. They scare me when they go up the slides but they have no fear. We then cooked hot dogs and smores. I think Jared thinks we can totally camp out but after I visited the restroom I told him we can camp overnight anytime as long as it is in a camper with a working bathroom! We better start saving our money.

 



Zoo Playdate with MOPS

I am convinced that I can only go to the zoo when it is hot...happens every time. We had fun in spite of the heat with our friends from MOPS. Claire wanted to see a giraffe and Quinn wanted to see a hippopotamus. We did see giraffes but no hippos at the Tulsa zoo, we will have to go to OKC for Quinn to see them. Claire's favorite was the giraffe, naturally, and Quinn's was the elephants. Fun times, we hope to go again this year but maybe we will wait until fall.
