I love photography, plain and simple. When Grace was born I guess you could say, I found my muse. It has been so much fun documenting her first year and I know one day - a long time from now - she'll look back and enjoy seeing all the gazillion photos and the three scrapbooks that make up her first year. Since I love photography so much, I've been looking into upgrading my camera and purchasing an editing software. I've been reading lots of reviews and talking to a lot of knowledgeable people, which led me to Jenn of
Take A Bow Creations. She shared some great information with me,including Picasa, a free photo editing program from google. So after tucking in my little pumpkin for the night, I've been playing with some recent photos and I like the results so far. My favorite is the vintage feel of the first two photos. As I was looking through the photos, I realized so many of these show Grace's typical expressions and personality traits that I decided to label the collection,
The Many Moods of Grace.
