Camera Crazy

So my parents bought me, or as my Mom would like me to say "bought Jeron and I a new camera" for Christmas. I was so excited that I couldn't see straight. I have always loved photography. I remember when I was little I thought my dad had the coolest camera and someday I would like to have one like it. Well...I do! In fact I think mine is cooler. (I can brag I didn't buy it.) Anyway when I got the camera I also got free classes with it. So every Saturday me and my good friend Shannon have been going. I love what I am learning and hopefully someday I will be able to apply it all. Here are some shots that I have taken. Remember that I am new at this...

How cute is she?!?

With a little help from photoshop this is my favorite of Ellie. I love her face.

I LOVE this one of Emma but I will have to say that I wish I knew better how to touch up because those bangs need to be cut on the side.

This is one of my favorites. I love the "golden sunlight" but I know this is an acquired taste.

Fun with photoshop!

The lighting is this was off, but with PS it is pretty cool looking I think.

The only one of JJ. He was at scouts for the other shoot. Played with PS again.

Love the shot...thanks to PS.

Another Michael(meads) pic that I thought was awesome.

Love this of the two "Boos"


This one has to be my favorite picture of all. She is a very easy subject so I can spend time practicing with her. I love this shot.



Thanks to my sister and bro-in-law I also got photoshop so I can do some fun things with that. I am an IDIOT when it comes to photoshop but I am learning and love the things that Shannon and Maren have tried to teach me. I can't wait for this to be something that I am really good at. Wish me luck.

I love them all Megan! Isn't PS fantastic? I'm a total beginner, and have a lot to learn, but it's been so interesting to find out new things along the road.
You're doing a fantastic job--wish I was there to take advantage of it too!

Those look great! next time I am down I will book you to take my kids pictures and then you can charge me $150 for the disk...then in a year or two you can charge me $400! isn't that how it works?
You really are talented!
