Down Town Auburn

I took a class through Placer County adult education today...it was a photo shoot through down town Auburn...which is a beautiful little mining town in the foothills. I wouldn't mind living there! My assigned color to shoot for the first part of the day was red...it was amazing how much more I saw and noticed when I had an assignment. So I took a bunch of random pictures of red objects...and a few other things I found interesting. I am pretty excited to work on these...so here are a few from the day!

Our Fun Friends

My handsome husband snapped most of these shots...isn't he talented? Oh, he is.
And these are our friends. They're great. We like them.

And of course...another handsome man.

Some Re-Edits

As I have been learning more and more and am currently working on a new site I've been re-editing a lot of older pictures. So I thought I would post some of them... It's been pretty rainy lately, a great blessing for California...but not so much for photographing...but that's ok.

I'm not going to post before and afters...that's just too much effort...I've got laundry and lots of mom things to do! So if you feel like looking through the old posts, you'll find them all there...only if you're super bored...

AND if you see one that is yours and you want it. Let me know. I'll e-mail it to you.

Happy February

I know...It's been awhile since I've posted anything...I'm working on it! I am actually working on getting a website up at some point in the near future. So...I've been trying to get all my photos together and re-edit some of the older ones. Pretty exciting...I might just feel like a real photographer :) I have a few fun things lined up in the next couple months so I'm excited to started shooting and posting!

Thanks to all who keep coming to browse and leave comments...you really do help me to keep going! I hope you're all having a good February...and spring is just around the corner (when I was a kid I used to go looking around every corner when people said that...haha...) I'm excited for green grass and flowers!

Bug Collector

Yesterday Preston and I discovered our side yard is full of flowery weeds...which are covered in ladybugs!! How does he know he likes bugs? Boys must seriously be born knowing they like dirt, bugs, fire, toys...etc. etc. He had fun until he started trying to whack the poor bugs with a stick. Then mom put an end to his fun.

And yes, one more.

Here we go. One more of Tim and Jami! I know those of us who know them, and even many who don't, have no problem looking at their lovely faces again and again :)
ALSO...I've included a lovely watermark...one step closer to looking like I know what I'm doing!
