My Photography Debut: The Anderson's

Last Thanksgiving, we decided that our BIG purchase on Black Friday would be a nice camera so that we could take our own pictures of our kids. (This comes after spending a lot of money on Bailey's 1-year pictures and hardly having anything to show for it.) I finally took the time to learn to use the camera (thanks to my good friend Michelle Underwood) without having to always have it on auto and was able to take pictures for my sister. Here are some highlights:







Now that I have a better handle on how to use the camera, I need to work on my editing skills. This was my first attempt at editing pictures. I think I did pretty well for it being my first time and only having free editing programs that really limit what you can do. I also had to seek Mich's help in removing unwanted persons from the background of the first family picture. I think maybe I see something like Photoshop in my future! :)We'll see...

I really enjoyed taking pictures and editing them. I hope I take the time to do this every now and then. If you read this, I would love to practice on you. :) Thanks to my sister for being the guinea pig! I can't wait until next time!
