i can't believe thursday has come and gone.
it was a pretty typical day for us, except my husband came home from being away all week. it's so nice to have him in our photos. hopefully to get a couple more glimpses of "his week" in before sunday. if only i could convince him to do some documenting....hmmmm. :)

I love your photographs. What camera/settings do you use? Such gorgeous white light in all of them!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing. Are your pictures really that light or are you lightening them in editing?
ReplyDeleteHi Laura and Steph!! Thanks for stopping by!! I try to do as little editing as possible! I usually shoot in manual with my exposure at about +1 or +1.5. I find that I have to do less brightening if I "over expose" my picture while shooting. For outdoor photos, I usually only shoot at +.5. If I do any editing, I usually use the lighten up feature of Rad Lab. Their programs are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of the children. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteStephanie, your photos were soft and beautiful like your layout style.
ReplyDeleteI really love them. :)
