outtakes

Last month I finally found my ol' point and shoot that I'd forgotten about in the basement. I was surprised that there were a few photo's I didn't know about on it. It was fun to see them!

 

I about 98% sure that Kylie took these pictures.

Addalee

And here is the third and final niece of my showcase today. I took a few quick pics of Addalee (Emily and Steven) at the baby blessing. I think she's about nine months- such a cutie!

 

Amelia

So lucky us we've gotten two new nieces in the past couple of months. Amelia (Teresa and Matt) was born several weeks after Averi so of course I had to try to photograph her too. I spent hours on the desktop taking out the orange in the baby and they are looking awfully orange again now they are on my laptop so who knows- sigh. You would have been laughing if you saw us trying to get these shots. Chaos going around in her living room, Teresa and I trying to juggle the reflector while Teresa has the hair dryer on her to make her sleepy- ha!

(I can't decide if it looks like she's thinking or is flipping someone off- that's the index finger right :)

Averi

edited: I forgot to sharpen these for web when I first published this post so now at least thy aren't so blurry now!

This is my new niece Averi (Vaylene and Jordan)! Well she isn't this little anymore but thought I better show off these pictures before she's crawling. I wanted to try my hand at taking some newborn pictures (disclaimer- first time I've ever done this) so did a little photoshoot of her in her living room on her coffee table with a basket and blanket I have. Taken with my canon 50mm 1.4 lens next to a window with a reflector. For some reason the colors aren't as showing as vibrant on blogger as they should be. 

Luckily for Kylie we've finally, after a slew of boys had some girls born on my side of them family. Adalynn (Emily) was born this past September, Averi (Vaylene) was born in early March, and Amelia (Teresa) was born in late March. She begs to hold these sweet babes everytime we get together and tries to convince us that she's big enough to walk around by herself with the baby. One of Kylie's favorite shows to watch is "Quints by Surprise" that I've recorded which follows the Jones Quintuplets. So she tells me that she will be the big sister, Kipton will be the boy (like in the Jones family) and that I need to have five baby girls for her. No boys, just girls she says.

I was doing a quick photoshoot of Amelia in her blessing gown and look who invaded :)
