Recently, I've been doing everything in my power to take pictures with my camera. I've been that annoying person that takes it with me everywhere I go, including this cutie pie's first birthday!
One great thing that I've learned about taking picture is how to edit pictures. I'm still really slow at it, but I feel like this picture was the best I've done yet. Let me show you the before!
I might have gone a little overboard with the editing, but I am personally really happy with the results. I've never wanted to be a professional photographer - on the contrary I am absolutely obsessed with documenting everything about my little family's life. One of my favorite things is to go back and look at my baby book and see what my parents look like, who they were, and how I was raised. I just love the little time-capsule that my baby book provides and I want to be able to do the same thing for my kids. I've never been great at journals, but I feel like taking pictures is something I can easily do... minus the editing time. But I won't really need to edit any pictures that I take of my future children, so I'm pretty sure that I can handle it... at least I hope I can handle it!
