I am a cruddy photographer. I so admire people who can look at something, take a photo, and make it look like art. I've always thought that my camera stinks and I'm rarely happy with any pictures it takes. Being the photography dolt that I am, lighting had never occurred to me. However, thanks to this lovely world of blogging and all the talented ladies that post their brilliant ways, I've read on a lot of photographer's blogs that natural light is their favorite to shoot in. I'm not looking to win any awards, but like any mom I like to have some decent, everyday pictures of my kids. The other day Nathanael was in the playroom and we have great light in there in the afternoon. These are nothing special compared to my professional blogger friends...but way better than they usually turn out when I take them. So thank you to my blogger photograpy-guru friends. The way you inspire and share your creativity is so appreciated! He is getting to be such a cutie-pie. They are such a gift. I love being Nathanael and Hunter's mommy.
PS - Nathanael has been sitting up for about 2.5 - 3 weeks now without toppling over. If I remember correctly, he's right on track with where Hunter was. However, Nathanael seems way more anxious to crawl and is pretty much able to get wherever he wants to go. No more leaving him on the living room floor while I do dishes. I did that about a month ago and within minutes he had found the power strip with the cords to the tv/dvdplayer/reciever. He's a little go-getter!
