Celebrating Easter


Scott and I do not have the boys this year for Easter as it is their mother's turn to have them for the holiday so we celebrated Easter as a family last night. When I came home from work, the boys had hidden Easter eggs all over the front of our yard. We spent an hour and a half looking for eggs and re-hiding them for each other. We have been doing that off and on for the past week or so. I have really enjoyed it, as it has reminded me of the fond memories of hunting eggs as a child. We also exchanged small Easter gifts. We always give the boys a little something for each holiday. This year we gave them the movie Rise of the Guardians. If you have not seen it, see it! It is a wonderful children's movie and was our favorite of 2012. They were also given Cadburry eggs, a new toothbrush, pencils, notepads, erasers, and other small school supplies. Scott was given a few DVDs to add to his collection and some of his favorite candy and I was given a beautiful basket, ceramic bird (I love birds) and a candle that smells so good it makes you want to constantly eat! That may not be a good thing. It is always nice to receive a little something that your family has carefully picked out for you. Lily, Leia and Jay even received an Easter bone. They were quite happy with their little gifts. After gifts were exchanged, I made pancakes for dinner. The boys have been asking for me to cook breakfast for dinner for a week or so now, so I thought what better night? I know that our plans were nothing grand, but they couldn't have been any better for my little family. I was even able to snap a few "Spring" pictures of my two favorite little fellas. Here are a few...

Ring Pictures



At the beginning of the month, one of my dearest friends came to town for a fun little photo session. In our circle of friends, several of us love to take and edit pictures on the side, so Kristy was in luck! She came to town and we dusted off our cameras. We had a blast and we all put a little of our own style into the pictures. Kristy and Sean will be getting married in a few years. They want to have a long engagement, so we should have a lot of photo opportunities between now and then. Since they live in New Orleans, we added a little NOLA flair to a lot of the pictures. Kristy and Sean both love different comics, so we were able to throw a little of that into her pictures as well. I can honestly say this was one of the most fun sessions I have ever been a part of. Partly because the props were awesome and partly because I was with some of my favorite people. Here are a few of the pictures that I took and edited of Kristy!

Dabbing Into Photography Again!

This past week, I took family pictures of a friend and her family. It was nice to dust off the old camera again as it has been quite sometime since I have taken pictures of someone other than my family. I was happy with the way the photo shoot went. Leslie and her family were a lot of fun to hang out with and shoot. Taking the pictures is the fun, easy part. Then comes the harder part, the editing. I am too critical of myself and I do not have enough confidence to really think they are good enough, though I have been told otherwise. I would love to know what you think.Please excuse the photography label on each. I am still working on creating one that I love.
