{ summer night }

I've been inspired recently to learn more about taking pictures. I've got the blogs of several great mommy photgraphers in my google reader, and regularly melt over the beautiful images they capture of their kiddos. I also signed up for a membership at Clickin' Moms, a web forum for mommy photogs to share ideas and resources. I could spend all day there!
Anyway, last night Hannah and Brian indulged me and went out for a mini photo shoot so I could test out some of the new things I'd been reading. It was fun! Hannah was such a good sport, but honestly one of her favorite things to do is just "be a family"....her way to describe when we're all three home together.
Here are some images from our night out. Certainly not gonna leave my day job to run off & take pictures, but I think it helps my sanity to have some kind of creative outlet after spending my day in the cube. :)
And yes, we are getting some serious mileage out of Hannah's blue sundress! I think she is wearing this little Gap dress in all of my favorite pictures of her from this summer. I think we'll remember summer 2010 as the Year of the Blue Dress!

Here are some photographers whose work I really admire - some are local, some are across the country. Isn't the internet a beautiful thing? So much talent!! I could easily list 20 or more others and I'm sure my list of heros will keep growing as I learn more.

Those pictures are so pretty, Katie!! I checked out Clickin' Moms... it looks great. I might have to do a trial membership. I wish I had a camera with a better zoom, though. Would love to use some extra features but I haven't taken the time to learn them!
