Day 43 - baby love, my baby love....

We were still at the hospital day 3 at that point and we had visitors and gifts! These were from Uncle Dave and Auntie Dawn. They came to visit their new nephew and Brendon was happy to see them! Not a lot of options for taking pictures when I was in the same room for 5 days with Michelle so I had to be creative and I have lots of pictures of Brendon to share and I will be posting them on a different blog site.

I took a few shots here, I played with the shade to let more sunlight in and get less shadows and a better brightness to the shot. So cute all of the things people have bringing for the baby to wear , I thought I'd capture a little of that in this photo.

...I need you , Oh, how I need you....

Day 35 - you spin me right round baby right round...

Well I decided to make an appearance in here again since it's been a while. I did set up this shot because I was trying to think of something different again, and what better than putting my camera into the wash cycle! Well before I pushed start anyways. Just another load of laundry between commercials of course, ha ha.

I set up this shot because I was looking for another unique angle on a self portrait. Getting the focus clear and setting up the camera and setting the self timer proved to be quite the challenge. I took several shots and then some and even though this one is dark it seemed to get the best perspective of the interior of the washing machine and me looking in as if to check on the progress of the laundry cleaning. I played with the timer and the focus but just getting the camera in the right spot and closing the door and then standing still as the shutter held open for a few extra seconds was challenging as I mentioned already. So I like the shot, dark yes, angled , on purpose, come on it's in the middle of a wash cycle :)

...like a record baby, right round round round..

Day 17 - no wire hangers in this house!!!

I don't remember much about that movie, Mommie Dearest, only that Joan Crawford was a very scary woman. I saw it when I was very little...

Here is a shot after we hung up all of the baby's clothes. I love all of the different little pictures and designs on his outfits, they are very cute. He's not even out yet and he has more clothes than me!! Ha!

I love the bright colors in this picture and the lighting came out perfect. The line of clothes seem to go on and on in this shot. It is a very playful shot with the abundance of primary colors, just what every baby boy needs!

Papa needs a new pair of shoes.....
