Photography 101

I started a photography class last week so I could finally learn how to use my "fancy" digital camera. And if I thought I didn't know how to operate my camera prior to the first class, I've learned that there is so much more to learn about my camera than I imagined.... its a good thing this is a 10 week beginners class!

For my first assignment I was told to bring in two of my best photos that I took last week. Below are my two submissions, my subjects being of course my two babies!The instructor looked at this photo and told me he couldn't decide if this was a really great photo or a really bad photo. Real helpful, right? I've decided to go with the "really great photo" judgment.
This photo was deemed a gorgeous photo!

So now onto next week where the assignment is a bit more detailed then "bringing in two of my best photos".

She's cute, she's sweet, completely loveable....and she's 1!

Where did the last 12 months go?? It seemed like it was just yesterday that we put our little Aubrey in her car seat and brought her home from the hosptial. Now she's in a big girl car seat and about to walk!

Aubrey really is such a sweet little girl who brings us so much joy every day. Sophie LOVES Aubrey and Aubrey can't get enough of Sophie....follows her all over the house!

A few of Aub's stats:

Her favorite places in the house are:
Toilet - so gross

Sophie was SO excited to go to pre-school. The first thing she told her teacher was, "I brought my backpack and my lunchbox."
