Scavenger Hunting February

SHADOWS
This past weekend we took the kids to a children's museum.  They had this super cool shadow room.  You posed in front of the green wall, bright light flashed, and it captured your shadow. I'm pretty sure my sister and I had more fun than the kiddos.  This is me!

PATTERNS/REPETITION
Happy Valentine's Day!

BRIGHT WHITE
Broken white crayon.

STRONG
Cashton turned 5 months old on Sunday. This is from his mini-shoot from that "Month-Birthday"....he's so strong already!

WARMTH
The stomach flu also visited our house.  Samantha was a snuggle bug all day.  My heart hurts for her because she was so uncomfortable, but she's just so cute all snugged up in the warmth of the blankets!

I Heart U:Edited

WOW!  I am very proud of myself today.  I'll admit it's not the best this photo can be, but I did venture for the very first time into Adode Camera RAW.  Thank you, Ashley, for giving me the courage. 
I can tell you very little of what I did, except that I did a custom white balance off of Samantha's teeth!  hehe....then I played around with all the knobs and gizzmos and this is the end result:


I'd say it's an improvement over the SOOC:,
Whatcha think?

Looking forward to learning more!

Scavenging Wisconsin Winter

WATER
No matter what the topic is...it will lead straight to the Packers.  They are playing in a little game today.  You might have heard of it: THE SUPERBOWL!

QUOTE:
Well said, Vince.  Well said.

WINDOW
The view from our window after the BIG Blizzard of 2011.

ACTIVITY
Daddy teaching Sam how to clean fish.  He brought home some yummy fish from his "Man's Weekend" Ice fishin'.

or any page, for that matter.
This face would sell stacks of mags!
(perhaps I'm a little bias)
Like his PACKER hat?

Good Night: Edited


I wanted this shot to focus more on the moment and less on the cuteness of the Packer gear.
My edit was Real Simple:
I cropped it & used Pioneer Woman's Heartland. 
The end.

Here it is SOOC:

I hope to get more Photoshop savvy in the future weeks....it's just these two are a handful! literally.

Good Night: SOOC

SOOC (Straight out of the Camera)
This shot was obviously not taken by me...but I HAD to use it for the "Good Night" Propmt.  On Sunday, my car would not start, so we had to wait until my husband got home from work to go to church.  (Yes, the kids wore their Packer gear to church this week)  At any rate, they both fell asleep in my arms, and as soon as Daddy walked in the door, I made him grab the camera!

Check back on Thursday to see how I edit it!

Innocent Wonder



Look at all those fish!
