Day 21

I'm still trying to find a good way to take pictures and isolate them on a white background. Tonight I tried using a small lightbox that I have so that it would help eliminate shadows. It got rid of the shadows but the background is not completely white. I'm sure there is a way to fix this in Photoshop but I don't know how to do that yet but I will figure it out soon. Until then, this is what I got.

Day 20

Well, the first picture is an example of why it is easier for me to get pictures of my kids when they are sleeping. But, with a little extra coercing and the bribery of a white stuffed bear, I managed to get a couple cute shots.

Day 19

Last night I snuck ino the girls room while they were sleeping and set up my tripod and camera. I made Sam go in and hold a light and a reflector so I could take this long exposure of them sleeping. I think this one of Lily turned out pretty well.

Day 18

Trying to learn to take pictures on white backgrounds. This one turned out okay but still have a lot to learn.

Day 17

Since it is a new year, this is my interpretation of a new beginning, even though I've been married for fifteen years. Anyway, I hope you like it.

Day 16

Every year I get a nutcracker for Christmas. Since money was a little tight this year, Sam gave me this cute little guy so I thought I would try and get a picture of it in front of our tree.

Day 15

This idea came from Sam's cousins daughter Kathryn who has been taking a photography class at school. We used two glow sticks and Sarah had a great time helping out. I had a hard time choosing just one so here a few images. Kathryn also helped me out with photo shop and taught me how to use a couple of new tools. Thanks Kathryn!
