Dress Up & Camera Fun

My Christmas gift this year from Jason was a new digital SLR camera!  My friend, Jenny, helped me pick out one.  She has taken nearly all of Ian's milestone pics, and I've always loved how they look....granted, she has some serious talent in photography.  I liked my point-and-shoot camera, except for I was always missing the "looks" I wanted from Ian because of the delay with the shutter.  Anyway, I ended up getting a Nikon 5100 and I love it! 
 
Recently, another friend, Chelsea Foster, came to take some newborn pics of Kate.  She got some wonderful pics, but Kate was pretty cranky with all of the outfit changes that I wanted to do.  So, a few days later, I played dress up and photo booth with her.  Here are some of my favorites. :)
I made the purple outfit after seeing an identical one on Etsy...yes, I know the flower is giant, but isn't it cute?!?!  I thought it was cute on the Etsy newborn. :)
 
Now, I just need a Photoshop review from Jenny....("hint, hint" :)

Welcome, Kate!

Okay, I figured out that I had to delete pictures from my blog account in order to free up space.  I'm starting with the oldest pics, but don't worry...I'm ordering printed copies of my blog to keep! :)
 
I just wanted to post a few pics from Kate's birthday!!  She is such a beautiful baby, and we're so blessed to have her!  We had a great stay at the hospital, and everyone has been doing great since we've come home.


Ian's first look at his sissy!

I loved her little "bow" hat

Our first family pic...we can't ever get any with everyone smiling at the camera!

Kate is Here!!

We were blessed with a sweet little angel, Kate Laurel, on November 29, 2012.  She was born at 7:40am, weighed 6 lbs. 9.5 oz., and was 18.5 inches long.  We are both doing wonderful!

I would post pics, but for some reason, I'm out of photo storage space on Blogger.  If I can figure out how to add additional photos, I will.
