Evelyn {Two Year Old Photography}

I wasn't going to do Evelyn's pictures til next week (which I'm still gonna do a couple because I made a birthday/picture dress to do her pics in but still need to fix the straps and I got some pumpkins for her birthday party and had to use them in the shoot, hence taking pics before the party! :) I had fun with this although she was a bit hard to keep focused...I've never had much luck getting her to pose/look at the camera/etc for an actual shoot, which is fine, I've gotten some great shots despite that, but I guess that's the rambunctious toddler coming out! :) I got some good front shots this time and some great ones that show her personality so I'm super happy with them!

The set up I had in my head! :) So cute!

Didn't last long though cuz when I went to change it Evelyn let the balloons go! whoops!

So sad!

Even sadder!

She wouldn't let the balloon thing go though..

This is probably my favorite shot...so gorgeous!
One of my favs!

Another fav!!!

So there you have it! My beautiful baby girl, who is definitely no longer a baby! Next week I'm doing a one year old shoot so stay tuned!

My family pics!

Now of course I didn't take these since they are of me and my fam but I thought I'd share anyway! My best friend graciously took time out of her "busy" life and risked the "lovely weather" (it was SO HOT!) and took them for us. I just wanted some pics while my husband was home for leave because I'm not sure if we'll be able to get any done before Christmas (he doesn't get home til after Thanksgiving! ugh!). So she didn't entirely know how to use my awesome camera (I still don't know how to use it fully! I'm learning though :) but we got some good ones and I had fun editing them! Gave me good experience with editing/trying new things/getting the pic right when it doesn't come out the way I want the first time. So thanks Sarah! I really appreciate your help! You're amazing! It was a bit difficult with Evelyn running around and not paying attention to us at all, so we didn't get many with us all looking but who wants that every time anyway? :)

This was actually one of the last pics we did...she was ready to be done! Pretty funny/cute though!

This is probably the best full frontal of all of us.

After awhile my hubby had to distract Miss E so he showed her how to skip rocks, she LOVED it and it was SO cute!

Love this one!

Not much of a facial shot but I just love it!

So there you have it! Hopefully one will work for our Christmas Card :)

Miss E, Just for fun

When I got my new Canon EOS Rebel DSLR in February, I just had to take it out for a spin. So I dolled up Miss E and hit the beach and a nearby campus that had this awesome tree and took some pics! Well a lot of pics but I couldn't help it! It was so fun and so amazing, I love this camera! Miss E wasn't the most cooperative subject but I got some great shots! She's so adorable. :)









These last two shots are two of my all time favorites!

Miss E's One Year Old Photo

This is one of my first attempts at doing a more professional shoot, hence it's the first shoot I'm blogging! My little girl turned one last October so instead of paying someone to take pictures of her I decided to make a gift out of it for me and do a photo shoot on my own! Unfortunately I didn't have my awesome new Canon-EOS Rebel and only had my regular Canon Rebel SLR and my Canon PowerShot SX120, which I swapped around during the shoot so my pics are a mix from the two cameras. Here's a few of my favorites from this shoot.





I've been trying to do a little more fun edits on my more recent shoots but this is the only "fun" one for this shoot.
