I’ve really missed taking pictures, so yesterday I decided to dust off my camera and (with Aidan along for the ride) take some pictures of my sister.
She is thinking of starting a fashion/outfit blog so it was perfect timing 🙂
Here are some of the pics :
I don’t have pictures from my weekend to upload, mainly because “my weekend in pics” comes from pictures I took with my blackberry and last week my blackberry had to go in for intensive care “YEAH! me” It’ll take about another week before I have my phone back and I’m already feeling all jittery and deprived 🙁
Also it turn out Good News: I can still fit down a children’s slide pretty easily, Lesson learnt: you should take your blackberry out of your back pocket first.
Why was I on a slide? Well I have this dream of starting a small business where I take pictures of kids – In a completely non-creepy/unperverted kinda way.
I always look at studio pics and think the poor kids look so staged and uncomfortable and I would love to start a business where I can take a hands on aproach (again non-creepy) just let the child play in an enviroment that they are comfortable in and document The real them
The slide incident occured when I was taking the following pictures of my “niece” Taylor and her teddy Shiver, I’m very excited about the venture 🙂
So I’m trying to turn Wednesday into a kind of show and tell picture day, showcasing some of my favourite pics (taken by me).
These are this week’s pics, a continuation of the stuff I did with Kirsten (my cousin, Che-lynn’s baby) – I’ve included a mom&me spread too.
I have not blogged much lately, things have just been crazy in Elle land; work, renovation, a baby that refuses to lay where it’s physically acceptable, exhaustion, plain laziness . . . which hasn’t left me with much time with my laptop.
I did somehow manage to take a few pics recently and have decided to share my faves. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words: here is this week’s pic, my brother with my guitar:
A few posts back I was saying how Im dying to try my hand at photographing young kids, this is my first try, don’t be too harsh 🙂
The model is my niece, Kirsten
This weekend was cuteness overload! Spent some time with nieces Taylor and Kameron at the Kids and Baby expo, it was the first time the two hung out together and they hit it off great! (which suprised me because like their aunt elle, both have bossy pants tendancies so I expected a power struggle, but no such thing) I swear I was so exhausted with their running around and needing to try out EVERY activity that I fell asleep as soon as I got home.
Rob and Taylors mom, Ronethea, shared my sentiments, it was great seeing them enjoy themselves, but sitting down would have been great! So great we ended up bribing them with ice-cream.
My other cousin Che-lynn and her daughter Kirsten came over later…. more of the cuteness
and Sunday another one of my cousins, Desthea, was confirmed at church (congrads pretty lady)
