Fun Family Day

  Today I went to my parents since they both had the day off. This lil girl isn't spoiled at all...

Amazing Sunset

So often it's the little moments in life that make you smile and remind you to take a moment to enjoy the little things. The sunset last night was beautiful and I couldn't resist getting a few pictures.

Beautiful Sunset

  I saw the sky tonight as the sun was setting and had to go out with my camera. Tim wasn't home yet, so I did my best juggling Riley while trying to snap some shots. I didn't shoot any on manual, just used the no flash auto setting. I really want to learn how to better enhance shots like this and how to lighten up Riley's face in such low light.

Bubble Bliss

  Riley LOVES baths. She's getting to the point where she will play and kick while in the tub, it's very cute. Tim snapped some pictures tonight for me. Riley had plenty of smiles to share!

I love the goofy look, "What is on my head?!"

Blue Blues

  Today I made some blue chocolate chip oatmeal coconut cookies for the Colts game. Sadly they lost, but the cookies were really good at least! I really need to work on how to get the whole object in focus. I took probably 20 pictures of this cookie and this was the best I could get. Hopefully I can figure out how to better  focus all points of a object.

Binky Baby

  Today I was feeling a little uninspired, so I apologize for the boring photo. It was taken in very low lighting with no natural light. It's just meh, nothing special. Here it is uncropped and unedited.

Little Lashes

  Today she took a long nap on the couch so I took advantage. I always love looking at her eyelashes while we're cuddling, it's crazy how long they have gotten already. She's wearing the giraffe sleep sack I made for her, love the colors in this photo.

2 months old in 6 month clothes!

  Today was Riley's 2 month appointment. She weighed 13 lbs 6 oz! We are so thankful every day for such a happy healthy little girl.

365 Journey

  In an attempt to advance my photo taking skills I have created this blog. My goal is to post 1 photo every day for the next year. My goal is to take better pictures of our family and document our every day life. I have found that I will only bring out my camera for special events or holidays in turn feeling unfamiliar with my camera. I hope this year will help me be more confident with my camera and never miss out on these precious moments with my family. So without further rambling, here is today's photo...opps, photos. ;)

I love Riley's eyes in this photo.
