Photo Bomb

photobomb (verb) - to drop in a photo unexpectedly right before it is taken.

My nephew (3) is a master photobomber and he doesn't even know it. :) I can't wait for years of photos like these:

Shaped Bokeh

Even since I started using Pinterest, I wanted to try this- shaped bokeh! Now that I have such a cute little model (who can't run away yet) I thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a go! I followed the directions in the link above, practiced a little before setting up my shot (discovered that the closer you are to your subject and the further your subject is from your background, the bigger the effect - thanks, Laura) and poof! Snowflakes in my Christmas tree!

It helps to have an awesome assistant, too!

PS - This is also my submission for this month's Rock the Shot contest! www.rocktheshotforum.com

13 Weeks Old!

I can't believe Haley is 13 weeks old already. Here is her most recent rocking chair photo! She has grown so much (although she is STILL in newborn clothes!).

More photos to come!
