class 1

I am currently taking an online photo editing class on Jessica Sprague's website and I wanted to share my work from the first class. I'll try and post each of my assignments on here as I do them. I am really enjoying the class and learning exactly how to use photoshop!

Finger Painting

One evening last week I got finger paints out and let Jillian "paint" for the first time. I really think she was more interested in painting herself than the paper but she had a good time!

18 Months

Friday we took Jillian for her 18 month pictures, these were by far the hardest pictures we have ever taken! Jillian just wanted to keep walking all over the studio and messing with things she didn't need to mess with! Every time we told her to sit down she would walk over to the photographer and sit down next to her, not in front of the backdrop! Oh well, we still got some pretty good pictures.

4th

We had a wonderful 4th of July and hope you all did to! Jillian and I (Michael was sleeping since he is working nights right now) started the day off hanging out at the Shickles pad with the Zoots, the Brown-Comer's and Nina and family. Jillian had so much fun following the big girls around and eating snow cones with Miss P. I was a dork and forgot my camera so I am hoping the resident photographer of the group happened to get some good shots of Jillian!

After nap time we headed over to my dad's house for dinner and fireworks with the family. Since Michael came with us we remembered the camera!

Vote for Jillian

Since Miss P won last month I want to try one more time to round up the votes for Jillian. If you could please vote for Jillian every day during the month of July (and ask your friends to vote too) we would really appreciate it!

Happy Father's Day!

Since Michael had to work this morning Jillian and I worked on his Father's Day art project! I got the idea from Molly and I actually think her project turned out WAY cuter but we gave it a try! We didn't have a whole lot of time so it's pretty basic. I wish I would have taken pictures of the process but it was so hard keeping Jillian from smearing paint all over the house I didn't dare get the camera out! We made enough fish to make a card for my dad and some to save for a scrapbook page! While I was turning the hands into "fish" Jillian was coloring on a plain white paper that made out card base. I think it turned out pretty cute and I'm sure Michael is going to love it!
