Black and White Wednesday

I am busy working on my friend's pictures and my life.  But since today is Black and White Wednesday, and my blog hits have doubled as my friend checks for more glimpses of her kids, I thought I would post a few more photos.

I do have few of him smiling, but I haven't finished editing them yet.

This one is one of my favorites of the baby~I didn't cut of her fingers, or ears, or elbow. 

That same sweet smile.

I have even more growth and learning to do for group/combo shots; my kids aren't going to like that.

I have less dramatic edits of this photo, but something about this really appeals to me.  I don't know about mom, but I love it.

I am still learning and want to learn more.  I'd appreciate any ideas you'd have on how I can improve, what I can try in editing, and advice on posing and composition for future photos.  Of course, I love the compliments, too.

 

 

Black and White Wednesday--Sunflower

I decided to participate in Black and White Wednesday at The Long Road to China {and back} again because I really enjoyed looking at so many pictures of families with children from China.  I thought about putting this on my family blog, but I just recently did a post full of photos of Sunflower so this blog gets the post.  It puts my family blog way behind in number of posts compared to this blog, but it would be cheating to post this over there just to even the numbers.  I really need to stamp out the competitive part of me.

Moving on...

Sunflower was sick for about a week, but by last Friday she was back to her usual self.  We went to Huckleberry's school in the afternoon to see him receive a Citizenship Award, so she got to spend some time at the playground.

I see the Swings!

Don't get too close!  Stay with Daddy!

Huckleberry and I together!  Sheer Bliss!

What?  Did you say time to go?

I don't wanna go!

Check out The Long Road to China {and back} for more Black and White Wednesday.

Black and White Wednesday--Abide

This is my first time participating in Black & White Wednesday.  It is hosted by The Long Road to China (and back) a blog I peek in at every so often because she is home with her adorable baby girl which gives me hope and I LOVE her photography.  I wanted to join this week because this photo was almost black and white already.  A little PW Black Beauty action and some text and voila...

As we renew our own paperwork for China I frequently need the reminder to "Remain in Him."

Happy Wednesday!
