shooting my princess

While we were in Fl on vacation I finally got to meet my little niece and I took her 1 year pictures for my Brother and SIL.
here is the behind the scene shot.

He makes me feel like I'm the only girl around

and I love him for that. He is so good to me and I couldn't ask for a better guy to be my husband or the father of my children.




In 2 weeks is our 8year anniversary. I know this is konry but it still feels like it's our first year together. We still lay in bed and laugh with each other till we fall asleep and I still get butterflies when he kisses me or when we get a chance to go out on a date. He will always have my heart. forever and always.

Thank you honey for all you do for me and our boys.

Beach. Family. Florida. Sunset

all in one night.
How lucky am I?!?







very.

I am so terrible at this blogging thing

I don't know why it's so hard for me to make a post at least a few times a week!
urg.
Well I have some catching up to do so here I go.


I took these shots with the same roll of film from a few weeks ago. Well like 2 weeks I believe.
My boys in their police car driving around our 5 acres and then our view from our 5 acres. I'm so glad we have so much room for our kids to roam. and It's all fenced in. how nice.!

A cute find

This little ring is just adorable.
for sure a must have on my list of WANTS!

It's a thing for everyone of all ages

Even though he had no idea what to do with it my little princes looks so cute in his little fingers and I had to share.

Listen to mini bible aka "SHOOT FOREVER" book

I have to admit I broke the # rule in the "DO NOT" section and I will admit that I regretted it. Now as embarrassing as this is I don't remember WHAT I wanted to shoot with the mini lol I can only tell you that I wish I had it with me.

Now I was nice enough to take a picture of the DO NOT's but to lazy to type them all out
so if you can't read it.. sorry.

A helpful little video for those who want to make sure they are loading the film right because some of us have NO idea what they are doing.. *cough cough.. me*
Loading film

and of course I have to add the awesome LOMOGRAPHY site.

So I have always been a digital photographer and have had many different cameras from the Canon xti to the Nikon d700 but The Diana Mini caught a interest in my eye, so I thought to myself "Why not give it a try".

I did a lot of research on it and many of people raved about how much they love this little 2lb camera so I purchased it. I haven't had it for a week yet and have gone through 2 rolls of film with only about 4 pictures to show for it. I guess what I am trying to say is that this film thing is a little tougher then I expected so I thought why not blog about it? I have enough time on my hands that I can do so :)

Well my first roll of film I used iso 400 bw film that came with my princess and got NOTHING off of that roll which was a shame because it was of my boys holding hands and just being nice to one another. So my next roll was iso200 color film and I got a few decent little shots. and by a few I mean like 3 or 4 good ones and then like 10 blurry ones. I think most of those were my bad because of that N or B switch. That little thing is in a bad spot, it's so easy to switch it over to b. Which for those that don't know N is for Normal and B is for bulb. a flickr friend filled me on that.

Do below are the few shots that I got along with the few I got but I didn't get. :)
