Baby Ayana's newborn shots.

This is little baby Ayana. So sweet. I took these photos in a pretty dark room. I had the choice to go with a lower ISO with a wider aperture... or higher ISO with a smaller aperture. I should have gone with the higher ISO. I didn't get as much clarity in the photos as I would have liked. BUT, next time. :D It's easier to fix the noise in a photo from a high ISO then and out of focus image.

Which brings me to another thing... I think my nifty 50 lens (50mm 1.4) needs a tune-up. I bought it used on Ebay and I never really got it checked out. I have issues with my auto-focus. It tends to focus close to... but, not on... the spot I want to focus on. Has anyone else had this problem?

I think I'll stop by a local camera shop this weekend and see what they say. If it does need to be fixed: I don't know how I'm going to make it without my 50! I use it everyday. I do have the kit lens... just not the same. :) Happy Friday everyone!

I wear my sunglasses at night.

Well... it was 6 pm. Not technically nighttime... close enough. ;D I just bought Ruari those sweet blue shades! You like? I can't keep sunglasses on her... she's just starting to understand they keep the sun out of her eyes... but, she still pulls them off.

Sooooo, whenever my brother holds her she gets very quiet and doesn't move much (he's a big guy). She really likes him... says his name (Aaah-um = Adam), but she's just not completely sure yet. While he was holding her I thought it would be the perfect time to put her shades on. Oh man. I love these photos! :D They look so bad-ass in the photo above (hee)!

BY the way... if you're wondering where Ruari got her sweet shirt... it came from Melon Dot! She made it custom for her. I LOVE it! You can now buy one for your little baby in her shop! Check it out!

Just a few more days to vote... help me get into the top 25 baby journals!!!

Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Easter

{Finally... My Easter photos. This year Mike and I ran (well, drove) up to Bellingham to spend the holiday weekend with his family. Here is my photo dump.... or photo barf... or photo mania from the weekend (still don't have a good term for MANY photos. :D). By the way... I love the photo above... Ruari looks so... so human! Crazy.}
