Water {Project.12 || May}

   As I have been getting back into my photography, I came across a facebook page. It's called Project.12. They also have a website. Basically it's a way for photographers to make time to photograph their own life and family. I LOVE taking photos of my kids, as you all know. So, I decided to give it a try! The theme for this month is "Water". Easy peasy since we live at the beach! LOL Not really. Lighting, weather, and cranky kids played a factor! I finally got some good shots today after a couple of attempts.

  We also decided to give our dog Keyla a turn in front of the lens. She did great at the beach, and even posed for me! Arrington, however, was less than cooperative. But that is nothing new! Kassie loves the camera, and the water, so there are always more pics of her!

You will notice the editing styles aren't fluid and don't "match". That's because on my own family I play around and try out new things! I hope to have the chance to do more of these! I will always refer to Project.12 if it's one of their project themes.  Hope you all enjoy!

Have a GREAT summer, y'all!

HeatherFeather Discovers RAW...and I don't mean veggies!

   So, I just recently got my new camera. And it will actually shoot in RAW. My old one claimed it did...but it didn't. I was terrified at first. It just looked complicated. But just like most things in life, what seemed so scary and difficult, really wasn't. Tried it out this week on some friends kids (and mine) at the beach. I was ecstatic with the results. I can't believe I had never taken the time to simply ask another photographer or heck, GOOGLE it! But I get it now! YAY ME!

Then I had a session yesterday and decided to go for it and shoot it in RAW! They turned out GREAT:

Facing Fears || Personal

   This time last year, Arrington was just a little over a year. She was terrified of the water, and Daddy was gone and he is the one that usually gets the kids in the water. When we first moved here she was just a baby. So, she hadn't really experienced the ocean. We went for a family walk yesterday and she got closer to the water than ever before! It was so exciting watching her. For two, she is really smart. She quickly learned that she could time the waves so she knew when it was safe to get a little closer.

Not too sure about getting closer...

Checking it out from the safety of Daddy's shoulders.

 Throwing sand in the water!

Got a little too close...Had to run!

Oops! Almost got her!

Like a Boss!

No clue, but it's HILARIOUS!

They really do grow up SO fast! ::tear::

Yes, this is basically my back yard...I need to stop and enjoy it (and photograph it) more often!
