Kids portraits

I took the kiddos to the local park to try to get a good portrait of them.  My youngest never lets me get a good one.  Mainly because she won't look at me while outdoors.  If she does look at me, it's only for a second and she won't smile.  She loves outdoors, but she's too interested in other stuff while out there.  So I didn't get a good one of her (that I'm happy with).  I might just end up settling with an indoor portrait of her. 

So I did get one that I like with my two other kiddos, though.  My son (who normally blinks when I click the picture) did really well and I got a couple of good shots of him.  My daughter did great as well, but was sweaty, so I did another portrait the next day in our own yard.  I think they turned out well, though.

Not much to report

I haven't done much photography this week.  I'm hoping to get more going soon.  I did do a couple of shots of my little ones, though.  So here's one of them.

I'm hoping to get a good one of each kid separately soon, hopefully this week!  Will post when I do that.

Lights, Camera, Action!

I started really enjoying photography when my first child was born.  I wasn't able to do much at the time, so I took pictures of my daughter.  After each child was born, my desire to do more grew.  Now I believe is my time to shine!  Recently I got a Sony a230 DSLR with a 55mm 2.7 lens to help me in my growing knowledge and use of photography.
My next step is to start a more professional portfolio.  I created a portfolio of portraits that I have taken in the past and will continue adding to it as I do more photo shoots.  Other than that, I'm just working my way up to the top...hopefully.
Well, on to the pictures, I hope you enjoy the ride!  Here's a few of my past portraits to get this blog started.
