Props

While I like props in photography in general, I haven't really used them much. Lately I've had some fun trying some different ideas I've had, so I was happy to see the them at IHF this weeks was "props"



Evelyn and I playing around with a cheap paper umbrella from "Hobby Lobby".

I plan to get busy revamping my blog sometime soon. I've really learned a lot lately and have been feeling inspired to do something. Now if I could just find the time...

Independence Day

I have more to share of the kids but thought I'd just share this for now.

And Evelyn:

And my darling Mac! Grandma bought this m&m dispenser at a garage sale because she thought the kids would like it. She was right. Mac was fascinated and the whole weekend I would find him just like this.

The theme this week is "whimsy". This is tough word to define but I interpreted as "playful". The girls insisted on having a front yard lemonade sale. While they only made $3.00, everyone had a great time! Especially baby brother who pretty much ate their profit in cookies.

The theme this week is "Let's hear it for the boys". So without further ado, I present to you my 19 year old nephew Garrett. He was just standing there talking to some people. Inadvertently looking like Jake Ryan (remember "Sixteen Candles"? This is the same car that Jake Ryan was cruising around town in) so casually leaning on his shiny red Porsche. I got the shot, and he had no idea I even took it.
