I admire great photographers

I love taking pictures of my family .... and I am most certainly in the beginning stages of learning how to use my camera and take beautiful images ....
There are so many talented people who take amazingly beautiful photographs ...
I took some pictures of the girls last week laying on the grass and I am happy with how they turned out :) Here are a few

Halloween Yard Decorating


Relationships are about compromise right? Well this is one of those times! ;) 
I have to admit to being pretty opinionated on what I like and what I don't like. 
Mike is a huge Halloween decorating fan, take a look for yourself

I on the other hand tend to like the more "vintage" looking decorations, This being the first year we are really decorating as a couple and family has had it's surprises :)
Mike would have every cartoon looking, air-blowing, huge decoration ever made on our lawn ....
while I would have some cute porch decorations and a few lights ...
This year we went for the BIG blow-up decorations ...
I am hoping maybe next year I will get my vintage looking porch :)

You never really think of all these things when you combine families with someone, but it's good to both have a say in what goes on .... and look at those faces above ... they LOVE the BIG blow-up! :)
all the more reason to try and bend my "wants" and go with the smiles

I am still hoping that next year, maybe we can combine styles a bit more :) 
Stay tuned ... I am sure there will be pictures!
