Scrapbooking Pages

Jackson when he lost his first tooth.

Journalling reads: Imagnation! What goes through a boys mind when he dresss up like this? Samuel went through a stage of dressing up like this to play in the yard. On went the backpack and away he would go.Nathans Curls. Just love 'em.

Long Jetty

Had a day to myself today. What fun! Went shopping at the second hand stores at Long Jetty, then went in search of the actual Jetty.

Wanted to play with the ISO settings and wide angle lense on my camera but it was the middle of the day and just a bit too sunny. Therefore, I couldn't see what the images looked like on the screen so I was basically in the dark until I got home. None of the photos turned out very well exposure wise (bad time of day to take photos!) but I did like the composition of this one.
So I played with it a bit and came up with these. This one has had the brightness and contrast adjusted. Bit more moody.This one has had the Hue, Saturation and Lightness played with. Interesting.And this one has had the curves played with to extremes. I really like this one....kinda funky.

Photo Shoot Fun

I had a friend come over last week to have some photos taken of her beautiful baby girl. While Kylie takes great photos herself, it is really hard to organise a baby and take the photo. So she enlisted my help (which I was stoked about) and we had some fun for several hours.
She was such a good baby. So many outfit changes and position changes and Ellie handled it beautifully. I love the fabric in these next photos.
I have five different designs in the fabric and even took photos of the boys on some of them.
I would love to do a photography course in the near future. I can't believe how much I enjoy it. It was great fun doing it with Kylie, because she 'gets it'. Having her into it as much as I was made it really easy to chop and change settings etc. Here is the beautiful Elizabeth again after we got her to sleep. Kylie really wanted one of her on her tummy, which we got eventually but it took ALOT of work....that girl doesn't like her tummy!
Can't wait until she is sitting up now. Will steal her away for another shoot!

My Pirate Sam

Finished this page of Sam tonight.

Chairs with a View

Thought I would try my hand at a new header for this site. I wished I had remembered sizing from last time (scrap alley blog)....would have saved me some fiddling. But eventually got the size how I wanted it and I really kinda like this photo. It was taken in Newcastle up on a cliff in front of an old terrace fenced off ready for knock down. These chairs had the best view in Newcastle.
