I hope they call me on a mission

Our cute neighbors son is getting ready to leave (Wednesday) for the MTC, Missionary Training Center, and as a gift before he leaves I offered to do a family picture, which we did this afternoon. I had my assistant Henry help me and he succeded in making sure everyone was smiling as he told jokes and acted silly, what a crazy kid. Best Wishes Jonathon on your mission. Enjoy the pictures. ALS

More Labor Day fun

While my parents were visiting we had many fun adventures. One was walking to the old train depot, that's when I shot this one, my parents don't always hold hands so this is one I will treasure, the other is of my son holding the garnets we found on our picnic. Hope you enjoy, ALS

Labor Day

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! We had family in town and decided to explore our new surroundings. We had a picnic with my parents and my brother and his family at Garnet Hill and then went and found actual garnets. It was really cool and we did find some amazing stones, little, but still so fun.

I've shown my Dad a couple of pictures of himself that I really liked and he didn't so I am now is search of the picture that we can both agree on. He jokingly said he wanted something nice for the program at his funeral, my Mom wasn't too happy about that comment. So while they were here I took a few photos. I've been trying to practice all the things I've learned in photoshop and I haven't had time for the extreme skin smoothing technique, so I thought I'd try it on my parents, not nice is it.

I like part of the effect and have another way to do it without blurring too much of the background. So I'll put them up to compare, let me know what you think. Have a great day, ALS

Lil bit

Hi All,

School has started here and I'm trying to keep myself organized and together. My Husband's coworker recently had a baby and she was tiny, 4lbs 13 oz. Healthy, but small. She is such a sweetie it was a joy to take her pictures. I also added the three birth announcements I did for them. Tell me which one you like. Have a great day. ALS
