Too cool for school

I recently had the pleasure of teaching Meagan the ins and outs of exposure on her new camera. Usually it takes people a while to get the concept of how the different settings apply to each other but with her, she got it almost immediately, even on manual mode, which makes me so proud. She is a prodigy, LOL. I asked her if she would mind doing a session with Nate and I and was super thrilled when she jumped at the opportunity. Lucky for me she loaded them on my computer after she was done and I got first dibs on editing, which is great because I'm trying to perfect my skills in that area.

So here are a couplr from her that I got to edit. I'm was anxious to put my new PS skills to the test with these photos.

The one below has got to be my favorite so far. I love the composition and the B&W conversion I was able to do.  (Forget the crazy eye look I have and the half face Nate has, I just love the way the coloring turned out...did I mention how excited I am to finally have to PS figured out a little bit more?)

Oh and Charly walked around with our Rebel and took some shots of her own. She gave me her input with this one on her new blog. She is VERY excited about having her own blog. Can you blame her? Tomorrow we will fix it up a bit, it was getting pretty late when she wrote that so I told her she could glam it up tomorrow.

I'm thrilled to have pictures of Nate and I for our room, I can't wait to see Meagan's editing and what pictures out of the 400 she likes the best! I will post them as I get them from her.

*House update* Pictures for the living room are ordered and today the girls and I made a trip to IKEA and Target to get stuff for the official playroom. We picked a paint color and hope to start painting  today after school. I will most definitely post pictures when we get everything done. This house is starting to become the home I envisioned for giving birth!
