Playin' in the Bluebonnets

The kids were off of school on Monday and in between taking pictures of Lisa's family, I got some shots of Blake, Sydney and Brody playing in the bluebonnets.  I love Spring when all the trees and flowers are blooming.  Blake happened to find a beat up, dirty little red car that someone had put in the trash.  It turned out to be a great little prop for our pictures.  Blake got his wish this time around and I didn't take a million pictures of him.  He then later asked, "How come I'm not in many of those pictures?"  Go figure!!

Photography Practice!

This past weekend, I have been hanging out at a local park that has a patch of bluebonnets and it has great backgrounds for pictures.  I took two sets of family pictures for some of my girlfriends.  I have always loved taking pictures and it was fun experimenting and practicing.  I took over 1,000 pictures combined and went through all of them realizing what I am doing right, mistakes I am making and things I need to work on, especially lighting.  Most of these aren't edited since my laptop crashed and the desktop is slow as molasses and freezes up whenever I try to play around with the pictures.  Such gorgeous families!
