our camera is here!


Today is the day that we’ve been looking forward to for a couple weeks. Our camera finally came! As soon as the battery was charged, I popped it in the camera, turned the dial to “manual,” and started snapping pictures. I want to avoid any temptation to turn the dial to “automatic.” While the pictures are not perfect, I can tell they are a huge improvement over any point-and-shoots and phone cameras (obviously.) The quality on this thing is amazing!

Here are a few pictures that I ended up liking from today. I need a lot of practice!

Check out our new DSLR!

The other day, Maggi and I were laughing about the Tributes portraits in “Catching Fire.” This would be Evangeline’s.

I simply said “Don’t smile.”

Night shooting is going to be a tad more difficult but I couldn’t resist this face.

And here’s one that I snapped with my phone yesterday. Kingston randomly fell asleep on the couch. I knew that was a bad sign. This kid never does that. Turns out, he was sick 🙁 All better now! Hoping for a healthy week!

to grandmother’s house we go


Yesterday we went to visit Grandma Hunn before she left for yet another international trip (and she turns 83, I think, next week!!) Her house and yard are filled with lots of memories. I love to take the boys down to her house for the day…especially when it’s nice outside. And yesterday, the weather was perfect!
I love her antique scales!

And the big entertainment is always the chickens

Her property is so picturesque. I can’t wait to take my DSLR down there for the day when she gets back!

 

This smile won’t last long–more snow coming tomorrow 🙁
