Tutorial Tuesday: Panning photos

This was a fun tutorial. I'm not so good at these types of pictures either. I think it took me about 15 pictures before one came out this way.




The picture was taken at the amusement park that is a couple blocks from the new place. Parker's first time on a ride by himself. I thought his face was just precious in this photo.

Tutorial Tuesday: Shooting Silhouettes

Couldn't get the linky picture to work, but here is the link to the tutorial being hosted by Ashley Sisk.

Our internet is up and running. The computers are all hooked up and I feel like we are settling a bit from the move. We still have quite a few boxes to unpack, but I already love it here.

Here is my try at shooting silhouettes. Although, I wish I could've started taking pictures earlier, I love all the colors that came through.

This is the view from our backyard at our new place.

It's been one of those months....

It has been a very challenging past month for us emotionally, physically, and financially. We have had to make some very tough decisions regarding our family. There were times my husband and I weren't sure what were going to do, or if the decisions we were making were the correct ones. On top of dealing with family issues a few business problems arose.

I don't want to go into depth with some of the issues, but you may rest assured that most of them have been resolved.

A situation that ended up being positive is that we are moving into a house! We are still leasing, but it will be our first house. After all the drama, I'm finally getting pretty excited. Also, we will be closer to my husbands work. Closer to our family and friends. Hopefully, moving closer to a school we are trying to get my daughter into.



I also had to share this photo. Seeing the two amazing role models my daughter has to look up to. I worry a little less knowing that they are in her life. She's getting at that age where she has to have a solid foundation with her family.
