Dancing and hair dos

Today was just one of the those days I God said, relax Valerie and have some fun. That is what Sunday's are about anyway right. Well, I didn't relax too much but really took the chance to just enjoy the 3 blessings God put in my life called my kids. Many times I get so caught up in what "needs" to be done and get checked off the list I forget to enjoy those around me. Well today we enjoyed! We danced in the kitchen, played new games we got for Christmas, read some books and I did T's hair. It is soooo cool. Whenever I try something new with her hair, I feel like it's new adventure ( i know i don't get out much), but this time I really liked the way it turned out. It is such a sense of accomplishment, I just love it. And sweet T was so patient, for a 1 year old anyway. In case you're wondering, she is saying "Cheeeeeze" in this picture. It's her new latest thing as soon as the camera comes out.



Dancing to a little "Chicken Fried". It's such a fun song. And I'm not really into drinking beer on Friday nights, but we like the song anyway.



OK I love this picture EXCEPT for the blurriness ( is that a word?) I just got a new camera and I'm a little frustrated, b/c lots of my pictures seem to come out blurry. I've played with the different settings, I just can't get it to work. So if any of you photograpy gurus out there have any advice for me I'd greatly appreciate it.


Happy Sunday!

I also have to agree the hair is adorable!! What a munchin!
I am not a photog guru but I would suggest making sure you have it totally focused before you click the picture. On my camera I hold the button down about halfway then it beeps when its focused and then i push button all the way...and viola a focused picture! Good luck, keep playing. They will get better with practice. Love you!!

Valerie, that hair looks amazing. I'm totally impressed.

Also, I agree with Misty. On our camera, you have to hold the "shoot" button for just a second until a green light goes off, then you get a clear photo. Lots of trial & error.:)

Just showed Tessa your page. She only recognized Jonah. And that made me laugh! I should say she could only name Jonah. She really tried to remember the girls names :) Anyway, hope you had a great day!!!

Valerie,

Just to show that I do read and occasionally comment, here it goes :) The blurriness (which is a real word by the way) can be fixed one of 2 ways...holding down the button halfway, which was already suggested and making the subjects of the picture stand/sit still :) If you look at the pic, the blurriness is in T's hands, so she is obviously shaking or moving and in L's feet, because she was moving/dancing. It isn't the camera, it is your subjects! So get them all to sit rock still and then you will have no problem! Or enjoy that you have 3 movers and shakers and laugh at those parts and pass them off as intentional to introduce an additional element of movement into your photo journalistic style :) ~ Jane
