Check it out! Alexis Miller is giving away a gently used Nikon D80 on her blog http://phototips.alexismiller.com/

What an amazing and generous thing for her to do. Thank you Alexis!

Since today was a snowday and didn't have to go anywhere I had time to play around. Boo finally sat still long enough for me to get a picture of her. Although she didn't realize I was taking it or should probably would have run lol!

Took this of my Jacey yesterday with my new lights. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to set them up.

Baking is one of the many things that I love to do but, lately I haven't had enough time to do all the things I love to do. Today was the first time in about a week and a half that I got the chance to do some baking.

Someone commented yesterday about getting photos of both Matthew and Jacey. Well, yesterday while I was trying to get his photo Jacey kept jumping up on his lap (like she always does), so I snapped a few of them two together. These photos weren't taken today but, I made the collage today. They are best friends and so adorable together! If he's not around she'll look for him and cry for him! We have two other cats, one is attached to my other son and the other cat is attached to me! It's so funny how they picked us instead of the other way around!

I finally got him to look at the camera! It took some creative thinking...all I had to do was make a funny noise to get him to look at me (briefly) and smile! I had to be very quick to get this shot....I love it!!! Matthew is really the reason I got into photography, they could never get him to sit still and he would often have meltdowns! I thought if I could learn to do this I could get some good photos of him at home where he is more comfortable. I also cut his hair today....he doesn't do well at the beauty shop either!

I tried to get some pics of my oldest son Matthew today but, this was pretty much all I got! He's autistic and it's hard to get him to focus his eyes on me or the camera. Even when he keeps his body still his eyes shift all over which resulted in alot of pics with blurry eyes lol! I still love this photo of him! I ran Rita's CoffeeShop Faded DayDreams action on this photo. Lighting is really not that great in my house and I've yet to get an external flash or any lighting setup. I'm still learning and practicing though.
