Family Camping Trip/nature

My husbands family took a camping trip up Provo Canyon in Utah on Monday. I wanted to get some water pictures, because we camped right next to a river/stream. Not big enough to be a river, but to big and fast to be a stream. When I stepped close to the river to get a shot, I just about stepped on these Butterflies! I couldn't believe they would just sit there, I was a foot away from them and they didn't leave. So pretty!

I wanted to experiment with the slow shutter speed. It took me quite a few pictures to figure out what speed wouldn't over expose the pictures.

I was so excited to get one of these! I have always wanted to take a picture like this, showing how clear the water is. I am excited to get one of these printed to hang in my bathroom for Fung Shui. My sister got me hooked on Fung Shui stuff recently, so I have been trying to find things to photograph for it too. I am going to work on getting an Etsy shop set up, with Fung Shui pictures for sell. So cool!

I really liked the setting on this picture, and how it leads your eye to the back where the water disappears.

This was a reservoir near our campsite too, the water was beautiful, and I just love the trees!

That tall mountain in the back is Mount Timpenogas. Such an awesome mountain, and an even more awesome cave inside! : )

On our way home, we took a little detour over to cascade springs. It was a fun little place to walk around and it is all naturally formed.

I just liked these dead trees for some reason : )

This was at Cascade Springs also. Again I need to work on figuring out the best shutter speed for this type of photo, but hey it was my first day attempting it, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! : ) I can't wait to go into nature again, just to see what kind of pictures I can come up with :)

My girls :)

Don't let their little curls, soft cheeks, and wispy hair fool you to much, (lol, they can be little stinkers) but aren't they sweet?

Fathers day

Thing 3 has this cute little outfit, that says "Daddy's Little Girl", so of course I had to get some pictures of it  :)

We added a sister! :)

Here is another version, one that I was looking forward to for a long time! : )
I think I would actually like to get a different picture of thing 3 to add to it, but this works for now. I love having 3 little girls!! (and I love editing software : ) )

Two more, I promise I will get a different setting and poses soon. : )

So here are two more from the same session with my little one. I really want to get more, but she sleeps so much, I don't want to wake her up to do it! lol

The first 10 days of life are the best for newborn pics, so I have 2 days left :( 

Although, I am sure I wont quit there ;)

Also, I am trying to get my blog to be a little more readable, so I will be changing it up, hopefully I can figure it out.....:)

Some more...

I love newborns

Same photo-different processing, which do you like?

I am just curious about what your favorite editing is on this picture.

I am trying to decide. Sorry there are so many! : )

I heart faces "all about Baby" : )

I can't imagine this theme coming at a better time, since I just gave birth to our baby 5 days ago : )

I have so many more ideas of what I would like to do with the little girl, and new born photo's, but so far this is all I have been able to get, from lack of energy and sleep ;) (totally worth the lacking)

I spare her name, for safety reasons, but on this blog she will go on as "Thing 3", to join her fun and crazy sisters "Thing 1", and "Thing 2" :)

self attempt at maternity pics,

I will officially be 9 months pregnant in 3 days, so I went and bought myself some cute pj's for the hospital, and liked them so much, I decided to attempt some self portraits. lol

Definitely not easy, pushing the shutter button, and running to pose, haha, especially since I didn't have my tripod, 12 seconds just wasn't enough.

but I think my girls made them priceless : )

They are the cutest anyway : )

I can't imagine not being happy in this condition, I am soooo blessed!!

I heart faces, "Faces and flowers" challange

I was excited when I saw the challenge for this week, because I love this picture. : )

Check out iheartfaces.com for some more fun images!

Here are some more of these cute little ones, I love this chair and
the whole setting, I wish to get something like that set up in my
yard. :) So pretty!
