Personal Photo Shoot

Let me explain.

I love photography - now I'm NOT saying I'm any good at it, mind you....I know of several people who are true photographers and actually know what they're doing.....but still, I like putting my eye to the camera and trying out different angles and lighting.  It's fun.  And now that I have my own camera, well, I have much more flexibility about what I can do!

Like I was saying.  I love photography.  And since it's been nearly two years since our last official photo shoot, I begged Courtney to come out and do another one with me!  But ~ she was busy for the evening, so I decided to head out myself.  And brave the mosquitoes and snakes in a tiered skirt and knee high pond boots.  Ahem.

So, here are the results of my personal photo shoot. 

(I'm telling you, the self-timer setting on my camera is a wonderous miracle.  Without it I'd be lost!)

About this time the lighting was just about perfect.  

Believe me, I would much rather have been taking photos of one of my siblings....I got a little worn out flying between my camera and my "spot".  But it worked.  Maybe tomorrow I'll do a photo shoot of one of my brothers....or maybe my parents!  They don't get on my blog nearly enough.

So, there you have it.  I like doing one of these photo sessions about once a year, because it gives me new options for sending updated pictures to penpals, updating my profile picture, updated pictures for the grandparents' photo frames, etc.
