Momshots

Here are some of my recent momshots. I have been trying to use some of the features on my camera like shutter speed and zooming and whatnot. I also have been working with filling the frame with my subjects (kids) and lighting, as I just read abouit on Jessica's blog. I took Jessica's momshots advice and started to read the manual for my camera. I had a few realizations: One, that I have no clue how to operate my camera, two, that my camera is pretty rad and it does a lot of stuff. I think that if I learn one new thing a week, I will now how to successfully operate it in about a year. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my little set of momshots!


4th of July- Statue of Liberty down the slide
Eli Wagstaff's 3rd Bday party
At mother's beach last week- I like how I got Belen in the background.
A great shot of Luke- but it's immpossible to get a bad shot of that kid- he's so darn cute!
Mean Lady Liberty- pre-street bike parade
If you are interested in trying to make your momshots all they can be, I whole heartedly suggest reading Jessica's momshots blog for tips and inspirations.

Katie, your momshots (http://www.momshots.com) are fantastic!!! It makes my heart so proud to hear that you learned something from my site. You are doing such a great job.
I love that you are reading your camera manual and learning how to use it. Your weekly goal is such a great idea. I'm going to make a post about it!

Keep up the great work. I'm super excited to see your momshots continue to develop.

I just made a post about this post. I used your picture of Thyssen eating the cupcake and of Luke.
I also didn't tell you in my last post, but I love the picture of Belen as the mean Statue of Liberty. It's too cute.
I look forward to your developing momshots skills!!!

Ok, so I loved all the pictures and I have to commend you on your photos. They were so good. I hate to say it though, your kids are so cute that even without momshots your pictures would look great. Nice job.
