I have always enjoyed taking pictures of my kidlets. But, you've probably noticed, that in the last month or two, I decided to take some time and actually learn how to use my beautiful beast of a camera. I've been reading my camera manual, perusing photography blogs, and gleaning tips of the trade from photographer friends.

A few days ago, I asked a friend how she achieves a beautiful, sun-bathed look in some of her photos. She gave me some tips, and encouraged me to take Eva out and give it a try.

So, I did.


I love having photographer friends. Thanks for the tips, Danielle!

Also, would you like to know a couple secrets? The beautiful dress she's wearing- I scored at a garage sale for 75cents. And. the "field" she's in, is actually a small, overgrown house lot a few blocks from our house. It's neighbouring a horse farm, with lovely, rolling green hills. She kept pointing through the fence, wanting to go play in the real field....
