Sharing a handful of my favorite family moments from April (except our trip to the Oregon Coast is not included - hopefully blogging this soon!). Images are from dinner out for Emily's birthday, playing puzzles with daddy, how 7th graders do homework, playing with our food during lunch, and a little bit of Easter fun!
Our April Fools baby is TWO! We celebrated with a fun family party at our house. It was windy + gray outside, but inside it was filled with SUNSHINE!
I don't want to forget the pure happiness on her face as she sat at her little table sipping her very first juice box, or watching her run in the backyard so desperately trying to keep up with her cousins (she is the littlest of 9), or the pure delight as we pulled off the sheet and she saw her play kitchen for the first time. Emi was SO happy at her party! What a great day filled with JOY!!!
I had so much fun planning out all the little sunshiney details...lemon cupcakes, treat bags filled with lemon drops, sunshine coloring sheets, yellow polka dot balloons, and of course we served lemonade. See more fun + easy ideas on my Pinterest board here.
We had some CRAZY weather in March! From complete blizzard to tiny signs of spring - we saw it all! And I must add that we are ALL very happy for spring to finally arrive in Spokane!
We celebrated Emily's 2nd birthday this month as well, but that deserves it's own blog post. :-) Coming soon!
Here are a few of my favorites from our Everyday Life in March...
I recently attended United 2014 – a photography conference in Santa Barbara, CA.
Lots of interesting lighting scenarios this month including...indoor natural light, evening kitchen/family room light, school gym florescent light, afternoon backyard light, golden hour light, and light just from the fisher price play aquarium (had to bump my ISO up to 6400 to get that photo of Emily asleep in her crib). No flash used in any of these photos. I have been playing around with editing styles too - my preferences change based on available lighting. I am enjoying the process of trying new things!
And, I bought a new lens this month! The 85mm 1.4! Eek! I have been thinking about it for months...finally found the right deal on Ebay. :-)
