Happy Independence Day

I'll be working and going to parties this weekend and won't have time to be posting... but I wanted to wish my friends and blog readers in the US a Happy Independence Day.

Hannah took four steps today. We're so proud! Miss Independent is betting to be such a big girl!

  7. Hannah's wearing Victoria Black/Silver Pedipeds. Used from Ebay at half price! She's growing out of 6-12 month Pedipeds and moving into 12-18 months. Yay for growing little feet! But... the tank top my little quirt has on today is 3-6 months.

  10. Anon, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly would tell us that black and silver are neutrals and they're not supposed to match. :P

  11. Your photos are always so great. Do you take tons of pictures and pick the best or are you just good? I am always impressed.
    I love following your journey. We have been waiting 20 months now with St. Lucys JOH pogram.
    Your daughter is an angel. Victoria

  12. Victoria, Thanks! That's so sweet. I take tons of photos when we do a little session. Like tonight for the "American Girl" series... I took about 80 photos only posted 7 of them.... and only posted them after adjusting the white balance, boosting the color, cropping, sharpening the eyes, and making them a little softer. I would say that the most important thing is to take lots and put the focus point on the eyes. Sometimes having a "rapid fire" feature is really helpful to just let the camera click click click click rapidly over 20 seconds or so. Toddlers move so fast! Hannah RARELY looks at the camera, so I think of it as a blessing if I ever get a shot where she's looking right at me and I can see my reflection in her eyes.
