The Time Has Come....

 Using some actions that I purchased ages ago. I finally figured out how to use them!

 I bought this gorgeous sweater for her two years ago, she finally fits into it!  It is a size 2, I think not!!!

 She loves wearing glasses that aren't hers. She does not need them, she just wanted them for the photo!

 These were taken in my garage with my backdrop I just ran a little sharpening on it.

 I have wanted to take a photo of her in this outfit before she outgrows it!  This is sooc.

 This is sooc too!

 I had to recreate this photo that I first saw on Sara Anthony's site.

No editing done on this one either. 

Now that my children are in school full time I am finally diving into my photography.  I have all of the equipment, software, etc, that I need, actually I am over my head in things I don't know how to use.  For the past 4 years I have had some sort of family crisis's to deal with and I never felt creative enough.  People would call me for an appointment and I always felt like I just wasn't good enough.  Ever since I turned 40 I decided to find myself, discover my talents and gifts, whatever they may be.  I love to take photos and I have since I was a little girl, however I know very little about the whole process.  I just have and eye and that is just about it.  Yesterday I decided that I was going to get out my camera and a few lenses, use the pretty backdrops that I have, bribe my beautiful little girl with candy so she will model for me, and just DO it!!! I have so much to learn, my head just spins, but I just love taking photos and that is what motivates me to better my self. I have been taking photos for customers lately and wanted some of my own little doll before her baby teeth fall out and she outgrows my favorite sweaters.   I thought I would share just a few that I took yesterday, I made myself shoot in manual and RAW all day, some habits are really hard to break!  I know I have a long ways to go!! But I enjoy doing it so that is all that matters right??
