Clicking photos of my sweet nieces!

Riley and I had such a fun time visiting my sister and my sweet twin nieces in Wilmington, NC!  With such absolute cuteness all around me of course I HAD to take the opportunity to get to clickin'!! The girls were so much fun to photograph!  Here are a few of my favorites...

And of course Riley had to get in on the action...

What a fun weekend with my sweet nieces and my sister Jolie!  Easy to keep on clickin' when the subjects are so darn adorable!!!

I Heart Faces: Enjoying Life Photo Challenge

Pillow fights and the tooth fairy.... what could be better than that for a six year old??! I had so much fun capturing photos of my son's toothless grin! I captured this image just after a late afternoon pillow fight - one of my son's very favorite pastimes.

I immediately thought of this photo when I Heart Faces posted the theme for their newest Photo Challenge: Enjoying Life.  Looking at that smile on his face, regardless of how the contest turns out, I feel like a winner!

Aperture what??!!

I heart The Pioneer Woman! Seriously, she is a woman after my own heart! She loves photography and yummy food and, luckily for me, loves to share all of her delicious recipes and photography tips.  

Here is a link to a tutorial she posted on her blog that really helps explain some of the confusion behind aperture.
