Skillz

I've been working on my photography skills. I've never had any training at it (I know, neither have most) and pretty much just took snapshots that had people in them. After I had this great photographer come take shots of our family when I was pregnant with Sammy, I started wondering what made her style so appealing to me.

Lately, watching the beautiful photos on all your blogs roll by, I've been inspired to try to get better. I click around Flikr (apparently Mondays are bench Mondays. Who knew?) and see what people are doing. But, I tell myself, I can't squeeze in another online time sink. So I take a lot of shots. Sometimes I'm happy with the result; sometimes, not so much.

But hey, here are some I like. I shamelessly copied a look that a friend of ours used in a framed picture he gave us of Zack at two months old. We have it on our mantle and I never get tired of looking at it. As you can see, this current two-month-old is highly photogenic. I hope the printed copy comes out well, as it is all set to ship to the sweet parents!
