Elle & Austin

If you've known me for years, you probably remember me carrying my disposable camera everywhere so I could capture our random moments. Well, as the years plug along my cameras have changed, but not my desire to keep those memories frozen in time.

That handy little stimulus check last year Nate and I split and I saved mine for a long time trying to find a good deal on a nice camera. I finally did last December and have had fun learning and playing with it.

I got the opportunity to take my little sis & fiance's engagement pics. It was a lot of fun. Here's some of my favorites. . .

This last one got quite the negative reviews. What do you think?

I know its not the traditional shot. Yes, technically I did cut their heads off, but that's how I took the picture - you're supposed to see past the photo and into their expression. My second graders and I love the activity we call "keep the picture going". I'll talk about it in another post, but you can imagine what the activity is about, right? Again, see past what is presented. (I think that its more of the older generations {yes, I know I'll be there before I know it} that are used to the posed studio Olan Mills portraits. Don't get me wrong, I love posed portraits but I also love the ones that feel impromptu.
